A Sobeys franchisee who tested positive for COVID-19 in mid-April is going back to work at a Fonthill, Ont., store after an internal investigation and an apology.
In a statement on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Canada’s second-largest food retailer said partner and Pelham town councillor Ron Kore is being welcomed back as manager of the outlet on Highway 20 in Niagara. “Sobeys has completed our investigation of the Fonthill Sobeys location,” said director of external communications Natasha Compton. “We took this investigation very seriously.
Ron Kore, our franchisee partner, and his Fonthill Sobeys store team have been incredibly collaborative and supportive throughout the process.” Sobeys says Kore continued to work at the Fonthill store
