Higher prices will start coming to Metro Inc. grocery stores as soon as next week after an industry-wide blackout period on supplier price increases comes to an end, CEO Eric La Flèche said on Jan. 30.

“We are negotiating as best we can and delaying as much as we can some of the increases requested by our suppliers,” Mr. La Flèche told a virtual news conference.
