The grocery giant’s logistics company, responsible for delivering 25 pallets of walnuts to Calgary, is suing the trucking companies it subcontracted the job to after the load disappeared.

It’s a supply-chain mystery that remains unsolved after 18 months: What happened to a truckload of President’s Choice walnuts?

The walnuts were en route to a place called Wild West Ranch in Clandeboye, Man., not far from Winnipeg, according to the lawsuit. She said, “This is a farm. We don’t deal with walnuts and I have no idea what this is about. I’m not a transport company. I don’t haul anything. I’m certainly not a store. It’s just a farm and I live here.”

“Loblaw provided clear and unequivocal instructions to deliver the shipment to Loblaw distribution centre 22 in Calgary,” said the lawsuit, noting the shipping documentation clearly shows the correct destination. Cool Running’s then instructed Sky Blue to send the load to JLL storage in Regina. It sat there for about three weeks, according to the lawsuit.
