FreshCo

This place is much cheaper with more selection than the competition. The meat is pretty cheap and they have prices like $ 6 for 4 large chicken thighs. Choose your red meat carefully though. Some times the hamburger or steak is a grey color. Freshco is really good at ensuring your safety while preparing the meat. If the meat is mechanically tenderized, there is a sticker that tells you what to. p it must be before consumption. This was also featured on CBC’s marketplace as being innovative in comparison with the competition.
Always great prices. Most of their prices are cheaper everyday so other stores will not price match because it’s not advertised.
Fairly wide aisles at this location. Can easily accommodate wheelchairs and walking aids. Very large and fresh produce section.
Pretty friendly and helpful staff.

I get it now. I can’t believe how blind I was before. This freshco is food basics in disguise. You really have to be on the lookout for expired foods just being put up anyway. I’ve supplied some photos that were taken in one trip to food bas – i mean freshco.
Saw some bagged apple slices on October 7 and they were brown and the best before date was October 5. That ain’t right! No discount in sight
I also saw a smashed up cake beside another smashed up cake with no discount in sight.
Then I saw the bacon on sale. Have a look through my profile pics– bacon is something I care deeply for and they had several packs looking extremely unhealthy and brown and the packaging was all loose. Like, bluhhhhh.
Then in the cereal aisle I saw Tony the tiger only, his face was in a state of disarray. It had white scrape marks through his forehead cuz the box got effed up. The box was scratched like someone dragged it on a Sandy surface. Like it was on the bottom of a stack of boxes. And they just tried to blend it in w the rest. No discount in sight…
Freshco you can’t be trusted.

I will give Freshco points for being cheap.
That being said, if you are looking for a advertised sale item — they don’t have it.
If you are looking for a specialty item — they don’t have it.
If you wan’t to pick up a couple items and be in and out — this isn’t the right store.
They are always understaffed (likely to offer such low low prices). So you will wait, and wait. Likely even longer than you expected as the store attracts bottom feeders who will argue about the bag surcharge, try to redeem expired coupons and require at a price check for at least one item in their cart.
⁸⁄₁₀ times, going to Freshco is a painful experience. I often just opt to pay more and hit the Loblaws to avoid the frustration.

Not as large or as good selection as the Galleria Freshco at Dufferin and Dupont, but still a decent place to shop. Still a lot less expensive than Metro or Sobeys.

While the prices are indeed good, the service has never been up to snuff in quite a while.
What’s worse is since the new operator came in (Don), they have an idiotic cost-​cutting measure of having only three cashiers working the tills on Sunday mornings and afternoons.
I mean seriously, what a perfect way to slap your customers in the face and tell them their time is valuable. As a driver, I don’t need to settle for this and have a No Frills near by with very good prices and more cashiers helming the tills at peak hours.

Much improved. However they need to stock more organic produce. Also could they not clean the sidewalk and plant some grass to stop the dust storm outside. So 3^rd world.

Although I have no complaints about the products at this store — I find what I need at prices I can’t complain about — I can’t believe the unprofessionalism of the cashiers. Lots are young women, and they chat loudly with each other, about silly irrelevant stuff, even while serving customers. They sometimes talk less loudly with another staff member right nearby about WORK stuff! I feel like I won the lottery if I’m greeted with a sincere smile and a bit of interest. Some of the older staff area also apathetic and indifferent. Where is the training? Why aren’t these staff trained and expected to treat customers with respect and professionalism, with interest and warmth? Are the staff at Loblaws simply paid more or are they trained better? I wish I knew…

This store would be better named out of stock co. Every time I go in there at least one or more items on my average grocery list are out of stock.
I would rather pay a little more at nearby Loblaws than make three trips in one week for typical items.

I went in to buy a client a grocery card. I asked if they accepted Sobeys gift cards and they do since it is a sister store. Whereas I went into Sobeys and they couldn’t answer that question!
Nice big store. I tried to look for a nail clipper but they only had baby nail clippers. He referred me to the new Dollarama down the street.

Wish they had more local and fresh options but the prices are bearable, especially during a sale. The staff need more training but most of them seem to try.

clean, bright, inexpensive and the produce is pretty good.

Until a few weeks ago this used to be a dark, disorganized and characteristically sketchy Price Chopper that I would only ever visit if I was purchasing something non-​perishable (and even then…). Then there were renovations, and now it’s Fresh Co., which still carries Our Compliments products and seems to have the same prices. While I don’t think it’s «gorgeous, just gorgeous» like I overheard a fellow patron telling a stock boy who didn’t seem to care all that much, it is brighter and more orderly inside, and the produce looks less wilted and picked over. 3 stars, tentatively.
