Introduction
Wilson Brothers is a Canadian company which manufactures and supplies different
categories of prepared foods which entail a variety of baked products and other kinds of
bottled drinks for the Canadian people from many of its branches. The industry was started in

chains have made a decision not to prepare the bakery on their own but rather buy them from

and sales based on the deal it has finalized with the grocery chains (Ancona, 2013).
