Retail and grocery magnate W. Galen Weston dead at 80 after 'long illness'

Weston previously held executive and senior roles at food, retail and real estate giants his family founded or led including Loblaw Companies Ltd., Choice Properties, Selfridges Group and Weston Foods.
He retired as chairman of George Weston Ltd. in 2016 to make room for his son Galen G. Weston, a tradition set by his father, W. Garfield Weston, who also stepped down at the age of 75.
"As he pushed me and my sister up and down store aisles in a shopping cart, our Saturdays became lessons in retail, bakery, and real estate, where I also saw firsthand the fundamental values that lead to success," Galen G. Weston, who is also executive chairman and director of Loblaw, told The Canadian Press in an email.

'A great visionary': Canadian retail magnate W. Galen Weston dies at age 80 Back to video
He was a philanthropist, a handsome and elegant dresser, a solid polo player into his middle age, a friend to the British Royal Family and reportedly the subject of a thwarted kidnapping plot by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in the 1980s. But those who knew him said he was a man most interested in other people, who preferred to spend his leisure time wandering the well-stocked aisles of Loblaws or the perfumed halls of Holt Renfrew, chatting to customers, asking staff questions, or trying out new products.

Galen Weston, who has died aged 80, was the head of the billionaire Anglo-Canadian dynasty whose fortune had its origins in mass-produced sliced bread. Though best known as the steward of the family’s Canadian and Irish interests, he was also the owner of Selfridges, a friend of the British Royal family – and the target, in 1983, of a botched IRA kidnap attempt.
