Loblaws

This is the worst grocery store. The only reason I sometimes shop here is because of the location; which is also annoying because you have to walk through an endlessly depressing parking lot full of pigeons to get there. And when I do I am full of self loathing afterward for letting myself go inside and purchase things. Inside awaits a store that is inconsistently stocked and often has poor quality produce. Years ago they stopped stocking 1 litre containers of organic milk. I have inquired several times, to be told that they don’t have the space, yet I have never seen the milk section fully stocked. There are however 1 litre containers of goat milk available in abundance, which do not seem to be flying off the shelves. Perhaps reducing the selection of buttermilk on the shelf below? Considering how popular this neighbourhood is becoming, this entire plaza could use an over haul. Every time I go here I get the Lo-​blahs. At least there is an LCBO on the way out.

I don’t hate this Loblaws as much as others do. I started shopping at this Loblaws instead of the Dufferin Mall No Frills.
My biggest gripe is that LONG parking lot walk to the doors AND that deserted Zellers you have to walk by. I definitely don’t care for the freaks that lurk around the Coffee Time. I don’t wanna deal with THAT when I’m walking by with groceries. ew
The inside of the Loblaws is clean; I like it. The bakery section is NOT good. Don’t be fooled; you’ll think the stuff is fresh because it’s attractive, but its all super stale. I remember this dude recommended the vanilla cupcake and when I brought it home it was rock solid. Buddy you KNEW it was OLD and you said, GOOD CHOICE? And now I don’t care about you or the bakery section. Whenever I see him I give him cut eye so hard omg.
There’s always a good deal on sandwich meat and you can usually find a special on something you love – that’s what I like about this Loblaws. It’s close, even though the parking lot is so brutally long. They gotta push the store forward mannn… But overall, it’s good. The produce is good and so is the bread. Whatever you can’t find here you can easily get at the Freshco around the corner.
3 Stars!

I give this Loblaws three stars. I mean, come on guys, considering it used to be adjacent to the now super defunct Zellers (rip) and in the same plaza as Coffee Time — what do you all actually expect? This ain’t no Oakville Loblaws, but let’s be real, it ain’t in a pretty spot. I find this Loblaws to have better quality and selection than the Dufferin malls’ No Frills and the Freshco from around the corner. The produce and cheese section is great, and I can always find what I need. I typically avoid buying beef at supermarkets, their salmon is on and off alright and their poultry section looks clean.
The Only problem at this location, is there’s a local angry man with serious anger issues that comes and buys things multiple times a week and berates and harasses the cashiers, and the deli counter attendants. The last time I was there he called the deli counter girl a ‘fucking stupid bitch’ because she told him all the poultry pieces were from the same day when he was accusing her of giving him the oldest chicken breast piece. He screamed and yelled and frightened and made the poor girl cry and hide at the back. They should perhaps ban this individual, or get security for violent prone people like him. I complained to Loblaws on social media via Twitter, and they never addressed the situation.
Tldr: if you want a fancy shmancy supermarket experience go to the Loblaws or Fortinos in Oakville or Mississauga. And reeeelax, this one’s alright.

I visit this Loblaws from time to time because of the convenient location.
When you shop at a Loblaws, you do so because you do not mind paying high prices to ensure that you only rub shoulders with other members of Toronto’s elite and upwardly mobile set. You basically get that same experience here, along with a produce section that looks like someone cares for it.
The challenges of this Loblaws are these…
1. Service, which one might expect to be excellent in light of the high prices, is average here.
2. The store looks no more grand than any No Frills in town. Apparently the Loblaws brand is not very tightly defined.
3. After charging the highest grocery prices in town, they charge for bags.
4. Out of stock items. If they lower the price on a common item (such as potato chips) to a price similar to an everyday Wal Mart price, it will be gone in minutes and not restocked quickly, if at all.
5. The store is a smaller Loblaws. Expect less in terms of variety and freshly prepared items here.

If you’re looking for grocery items such as eggs, lettuce or other staples… Don’t come here, they’re more than likely out of stock. 2 different times I’ve gone into this place and the first 3 items I need aren’t there. I end up just walking away and going to a different loblaws. The only thing this place has going for it is it’s conveniently located

Honestly this is my least favourite Loblaw for many reasons:
— It closes at 10pm mon-​fri, while most other ones are 24 hours
— General limited selection
— The meat section is barebones
— Very small with a tiny organic section which only has dry goods
— There is no Joe section…
— The parking lots is massive and not always salted on icy days
The extra star is only because it’s close to the Subway making it easy to hop on after you make it through the long parking lot

Totally not my first choice as far as Loblaws goes, but I would still come here over a metro.
There where a few holes on the shelves and there are not a lot of product that a typical Loblaws would carry. Still, this location does the trick if you are just picking up a few items

As far as grocery stores go, this one is a bit below the average loblaws. Having used this store for years by locational default I can say with experience that the store has all the basics but few frills. Recently they have added more specialty Italian products but the meat section is still unbelievably understocked. An acceptable store but never my first choice.
