Loblaw grocery stores are giving away free Marvel superhero trading cards as part of a marketing campaign
Loblaw Cos. Ltd. has partnered with Marvel Entertainment to launch a thrilling trading card promotion in its Canadian stores, starting August 1. Customers shopping at various Loblaw banners, including No Frills, The Real Canadian Superstore, Maxi, Provigo, and others, can receive Marvel superhero trading cards with their purchases, both in-store and online.
How the Promotion Works
Customers can collect from 90 different character and badge cards, with each pack containing four cards. For every CAD $25 spent, customers will receive a free pack of cards. Additionally, a Marvel collector’s album is available for purchase at CAD $5. Both the cards and the album are made from 100% FSC certified paper, sourced from responsibly managed forests and fully recyclable.
In-Store Activities and Merchandise
To celebrate the partnership with Marvel, select Loblaw stores will feature exclusive Avengers and Spider-Man merchandise, including toys, apparel, and home décor. In-store events will also include a Marvel-themed word-puzzle scavenger hunt and costume contests, creating an engaging shopping experience for families.
