Theodore Pringle Loblaw (July 1, 1872 – April 2, 1933) was a Canadian grocer.
After his parents' deaths during his adolescence, Loblaw was raised by his maternal grandparents, William and Elizabeth Johnson, at their farm just outside Alliston.
He also sponsored the construction of Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston to honour his grandparents.
[2] In 1919 Loblaw was hired by the United Farmers Cooperative Company (the purchasing agent of the United Farmers of Ontario co-operative) having previously co-managed a grocery store.
He was involved in an unsuccessful attempt by the UFCC to launch a chain of cooperative grocery stores; he left the company and used the experience he had gained to found the grocery chain that bears his name.
