Montreal, November 12, 2026 – Stingray (TSX: RAY), the world’s leading connected streaming media company, today announced that Stingray Advertising has been selected as a partner to sell Loblaw Advance™ digital screen inventory on a non-exclusive basis. Building upon the successful in-store audio advertising partnership established between the two companies, this new agreement with Loblaw Advance™ further expands Stingray Advertising’s comprehensive retail media network across Canada. 

With this expanded capability, Stingray Advertising will act as screen sales agents to significantly expand the reach of the Loblaw AdvanceTM digital screen network. The existing network encompasses more than 2,000 screens across over 700 stores and nine retail banners, including Atlantic Superstore, Loblaws, Maxi, No Frills, Real Canadian Superstore, Your Independent Grocer, and Zehrs. The network reaches all 13 provinces and territories across Canada. 

“We are thrilled to deepen our relationship with Loblaw Advance™ by adding their digital screen inventory to our growing retail media network,” said Ryan Fuss, Chief Revenue Officer of Stingray Advertising. “This expansion significantly strengthens the reach we offer across our entire network of retail partners as a comprehensive AOOH and DOOH offering. It allows us to provide brands with an increasingly diversified portfolio of impactful retail media opportunities, combining the power of sight and sound to engage consumers at the most critical moments of their shopping journey.” 

“This represents a compelling opportunity to partner with Canada’s leading retail media network,” said Omar El Kady, SVP, Retail Partnerships & Operations, Stingray Advertising North America. “As highly experienced screen sales agents, our team is perfectly positioned to significantly expand the reach of the Loblaw AdvanceTM digital screen network to many new advertisers. We look forward to driving real innovation and delivering exceptional visual experiences for both brands and shoppers.” 

“Some of the most influential moments in the shopping journey happen inside the store, when customers are actively considering products and deciding what goes into their baskets,” said Ryan Webber, VP, Sales & Client Success, Loblaw Advance™. “Expanding our partnership with Stingray builds on our successful work together in audio and makes our digital screen network more accessible to advertisers. It gives brands another way to engage shoppers at the point of decision and bring in-store media into a more connected, omnichannel advertising strategy.” 

Looking ahead, Loblaw Advance™ expects to expand the footprint in Super Store West representing more than 700 screens by the end of 2026, with further rollouts planned in 2027.
