Weekend quick notes

Rona, the biggest home improvement chain in Canada, is planning to reverse the usual pattern and come south to chalenge Home Depot and Lowes. The report is that they may buy a small US chain, and will concentrate initially on the northeast.

McCormick has bought Epicurean International, a Thai food marketer (Thai Kitchen and Simply Asia are their brands). "David Sakamoto, Epicurean International's chief financial officer, said the purchase by McCormick will allow his company's products to be further developed and distributed more widely."
