At Loblaw Digital, we know that our customers expect the best from us. Whether that means building the best, most innovative online shopping experiences, or designing an app that will impact the lives of people across the country, we’re up for the challenge. Loblaw Digital is the team responsible for building and operating the online businesses of Canada’s largest and most successful retailer. Based in downtown Toronto, we are an entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and collaborative team working towards transforming the way Canadians shop by creating leading eCommerce experiences in the online grocery shopping, beauty, pharmacy, loyalty, and apparel spaces, and we’re only just getting started! To achieve these goals, we are looking for talented and passionate individuals who want to collaborate and solve challenging problems and make significant and lasting impact on Canadians.

DX Studio was formed in 2019 to help our internal divisions with their online projects instead of outsourcing our knowledge & site builds. We have been able to centralize and scale all of our 30+ websites at Loblaw with repeatable processes and scalable solutions. We have a close knit team that brings all of the experiences to life. We have 2 mandates that we serve:

Emergent Businesses:We help our smaller bricks & mortar businesses get online and build ecommerce experiences. We consult on how to approach their ecommerce goals, and we bring the experiences to life through a pay-to-play model. We build solutions that are scalable across many emergent businesses, and partner closely with our platform services to bring those to life. We also help our clients operationalize their demand & day to day operations.

Marketing Support:We support our existing 30+ non-transactional sites with regular updates, and special marketing projects. Sites include loblaw.ca, pcchildrenscharity.ca and pc.ca to name a few.
