www.storeopinion.ca isn’t just another feedback form tucked away at the bottom of a grocery receipt. Spend enough time in a Loblaws, No Frills, or Real Canadian Superstore and you’ll hear customers chatter about “those PC Optimum points” or “the $1,000 gift card thing they draw every month.”
So, I spent a week talking to shoppers and reading through the official contest rules — including the detailed breakdown of monthly draws, rewards, and eligibility requirements from Loblaws Inc. itself — to understand why this little survey has become such a big deal. And here’s the thing: the hype is real.
A Quick Look at the Brand Behind It
Before getting into the nuts and bolts of the survey, it’s worth remembering who’s running the show. Loblaws Inc., the sponsor behind storeopinion.ca, operates some of the most recognizable grocery chains in Canada — Loblaws, No Frills, Real Canadian Superstore, Zehrs, Provigo, and more.
For millions of Canadians, these aren’t just stores. They’re weekly traditions. Saturday-morning produce runs. End-of-month stock-up trips. Quick, after-work stops for milk and bread.The survey is the company’s way of capturing that everyday experience and turning it into actionable insights.
What Exactly Is the StoreOpinion.ca Survey?
At its core, www.storeopinion.ca is a customer-satisfaction survey hosted by Loblaws Inc.
Shoppers are asked about:
- Cleanliness
- Staff helpfulness
- Pricing
- Availability of items
- Checkout experience
- Store layout
- Loyalty-program satisfaction
Once you finish the questions, you’re automatically entered into the monthly PC Optimum rewards contest, giving you a chance to win either 1,000,000 PC Optimum points or a $1,000 PC Gift Card.
A Reporter’s Walkthrough: What It’s Like to Take the Survey
Earlier this week, I took the survey myself after a late-afternoon run to No Frills. The process was surprisingly smooth — no confusing pages or endless click-throughs.
Here’s what I noticed:
1. You start by entering your receipt details.
The little survey code at the bottom of your receipt opens the door. You must complete the survey within seven days of purchase.
2. The questions feel practical — not corporate fluff.
I was asked about item availability, staff friendliness, how fast checkout moved, and if I found everything I needed.
3. You can enter WITHOUT a receipt.
If you didn’t shop recently, the “Don’t have a receipt?” option lets you still complete the survey and enter the contest.
4. You automatically get entered into the draw.
No extra steps. No follow-up emails. One survey = one entry.
5. You can enter up to FIVE times per month.
This is one of the most overlooked advantages. According to the rules, participants can enter a maximum of five (5) entries per Monthly Draw Period.
If you shop frequently, those entries add up.
What You Can Win Each Month
Here’s where the survey becomes more than just a feedback tool.
According to the official contest details:
There are 24 prizes per year
✔ Two winners every month from January through December.
Each winner chooses one reward:
- 1,000,000 PC Optimum points (worth $1,000), or
- One $1,000 PC Gift Card
Both options carry the exact same retail value ($1,000 CAD).
For many shoppers — especially families and students — this can cover an entire month’s grocery bill. And the odds? They depend on how many entries are submitted, but considering the survey restricts entries to five per person per month, the pool stays fair and balanced.
Eligibility Rules
The rules document is long, but here are the essentials:
Who can enter?
- Legal residents of Canada
- Must be age of majority in your province.
Who cannot enter?
- Employees, officers, directors, and agents of Loblaws Inc.
- Ipsos employees (the contest administrator)
- Immediate family members of the above

Skill-testing question
Winners must correctly answer a math skill-testing question before claiming the prize.
Why StoreOpinion Matters (Beyond the Prizes)
While the contest is the flashy part, the survey itself plays a bigger role.
1. Grocery shopping is a weekly necessity.
Canadians depend on these stores. Loblaws needs to know what’s working — and what’s not.
2. Feedback goes straight to decision-makers.
Staffing concerns, product shortages, rising price sensitivity — all of it helps the chain adjust operations.
3. PC Optimum is one of Canada’s largest loyalty ecosystems.
Survey responses help evolve the rewards program millions of Canadians rely on.
4. The company gets localized insight.
A store in Surrey isn’t the same as a store in Sudbury.
Feedback helps each region improve differently.

Final Thoughts

www.storeopinion.ca is more than a marketing tool — it’s a way for everyday grocery shoppers to influence one of Canada’s biggest retailers and potentially win something meaningful.
