  I don't care for the redesign. It cuts the store in half and moves away from the conventional floorplan. I understand it's for feel and to allow them to display product in a more attractive fashion but it greatly slows the experience. Likely a good theft deterrent but a pain in the arse.

  Good selection. A bit confusing when trying to make a quick shopping trip. Could be better organized. Starbucks coffee shop in- store.

  Nice selection, neat, but can be a little difficult to find items sometimes as there may be more than one section for it. Once you shop there a few times the organization makes more sense. The natural and bulk section is great and so is the possibility of having a Starbucks while you shop.

  Its a Sobeys This one has been recently updated. It has the split V configuration (Produce bakery and meat and deli on one side and the rest of the groceries on the other side). I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of this yet.
  + good organic/vegan/ healthy foods section. Good selection here compared to other places.

  I think the worst thing are prices. Fruit and veggies are still at winter prices. No deals for dollar days . If prices keep going up and wages stay same or go down as govt would like them to i can't afford to eat healthy maybe not at all . I hate to shop at save on foods but I may have no choice. And I dislike these discount grocery stores. Oh well we lose. I like the old set up. Up and down aisles. As long as clean and shelves are stocked I don't need fancy.

  This store has been recently renovated and is very nice to shop in.The floors were re-done and extra space was added on .It has a larger fruit & vegetable section, a new cake section, a bigger cheese and deli section. There is a new section of oils and bulk candy & nuts. Overall the renovation was a great idea.

  Can't wait for the new grocery store to open across the street. Over 5 years I have asked multiple managers if they could bring in imperial cheese, they all assured me it would be on shelves soon but I am still waiting. This store is consistently out of bean sprouts and won't carry non-clumping cat litter. I go to this store as it is the only one close to my home but I constantly have to leave this sobeys and drive to another grocery store further away to complete my grocery list.

  Really great quality products, the staff seem very knowledgeable, and a wide variety of products to suite almost any shopper's needs. My only grief would be the obsessive push of "organic" foods, as the term tells you nothing about the food and is simply a ploy to get you to pay more money for supposed peace of mind. Past that, I go frequently to get my groceries, so I highly recommend it.

  It's pricier than other grocery stores of its caliber. They changed they layout so it looks better, but you have to look at more of the store before you can get out.

  Wow absolutely amazing prices and great food the only reason why they don't get five stars is because the horrible service at the deli, she clearly was having a bad day but the manager Brandi was awesome and made us feel welcome. Great job Brandi.

  Fantastic neighbourhood grocer. Best eggs in town. I think it's open 24 hours, sometimes. Possibly during the holiday season.

  Recently renovated to match updated corporate look. Now has cafe area and buffet-style ready to eat food table. Reasonable selection of products, pricing can be hit-or-miss compared to other grocers, depending on sales
