I listened to an interview with someone high up at LD (can't remember their title) and it was quite interesting hearing the logistics. Certain products (like holiday decorations) get ordered over a year out so they're harder to switch out, but it sounds like most other stuff goes up for renewal around this time so we'll see more non-American stuff by late spring. I also found it interesting they were mentioning they're really interested in sourcing more from Japan (where there aren't Canadian options) since the Yen is so low and they make a lot of good, cool, quality stuff that historically was too expensive.
That’s great. Fingers crossed they are listening now. I want them to be successful. They have great long term staff and I love their European food selection. I have emailed them a couple of times now with product suggestions. They always reply that they’ll forward the message to their buyers. So let’s hope!
