context_page_description: The Weston family of Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom is a prominent family of businesspeople with global interests primarily in food and clothing businesses. The family operations began with the purchase of a bakery in 1884 by George Weston in Toronto, Ontario. The family's productions remained prominent throughout two World Wars.
  Through George Weston Limited and various holding companies, the Canadian branch of the Weston family owns or controls over 200 companies, including Canada's largest supermarket chain, Loblaws. Among their other businesses, members of this branch own or control a number of retailers, including upscale department stores Holt Renfrew in Canada, Brown Thomas in Ireland and Selfridges in the United Kingdom.
  The main holding company of the British branch of the family is Wittington Investments. 79.2% of this company belongs to a British charitable trust called the Garfield Weston Foundation, with the balance owned by various family members. Wittington Investments owns a majority stake in Associated British Foods, and 100% of retailers Fortnum & Mason and Heal's.
