Closure and Current Status
Major brands produced by the Newfoundland Margarine Company were Good Luck and Eversweet. Both of these products become staples of many households within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. In early 2000 Unilever made the announcement that it will be closing the manufacturing plant in St. John's. The plant on LeMarchant Road closed in 2004 and the building was demolished in 2007 to make way for a Shoppers Drug Mart.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
