Reviews of Sobeys - Gaetz South (Bakery)

Michele Cameron

Thank goodness for pharmacy. All staff very helpful and friendly. Feels like our second home.

Derek Blair

Went to purchase some liquid smoke. Went to ask about it and the gentleman showed me they were completely out. Explained why they were out. Suggested that I go to a store that may not have as much traffic. Suggested a store and I could phone them to find out if they had the product. They had the phone number if I required it. The suggested store had the product. This is customer service.

I bought some food here and I definitely left with some food! Great food purchasing station. I did however fund chicken wings to be $4/lb cheaper at co-op even though they were on sale here. The more you know!

Kevin Collins

Love the specialty foods selection here. Loads of gluten free, dairy/lactose free & sugar free. Plus great, helpful staff. If the prices would go down it'd be great. Too expensive

Vincent Wolfe

The store was very clean, and well stocked. When I went there were not a lot of people, which made the shopping a pleasant experience. The bakery had a selection of French bread, and I will be back for the Garlic loaf another day. My only disappointment is consistently the produce section. Selection is lacking in comparison to other grocery stores, and the items they do have are quite sad looking. The zucchinis I bought looked very wrinkled, and small. Overall prices are reasonable staff are very friendly and the selection is adequate.

Had to buy a cream for my child's severe diaper rash and no one working here seemed to have a clue what I was looking for. When I finally found one myself, the price at the cash register was double than what was listed at the shelf. The cashier (Hailey) was extremely ignorant about it. I was not in the mood to waste my time arguing with a high-school dropout and needed the cream for my kid so bought it, and left this useless establishment. Its the last time I will be shopping here.

This is My favourite grocery store to go to the prices are always fair and the store is always exceptionally clean,the staff is always amazingly helpful. If I ever have any questions someone is always there to answer them

Misty Torgerson

I refuse to go to Sobeys. I was desperate. Sorry Mike.???? I hate paper bags and to have to pay for them. On a brighter note, the staff is fantastic! Very helpful!

Clint Kreiser

Not always a butcher available have to phone ahead

Hearher Hansen

Love Sobeys MacKenzie Towne. Great people. Very helpful employees! Always friendly!

Cloud Strife

Was going to give this location less starts until we met the cashier named Shinara. She knew we were having a difficult time due to our kids being out of control. She help us out so much and we are very grateful to her. Thank you for being patient with us and so friendly!

Barb Munday

Always shop here as they have the best gluten free bread and at a reasonable price....lots of selection...good produce

Jaclyn Bell

Nice place to shop. Not crowded or busy. Can be pricier than other grocery stores.

Dennis Dubois

Big corner store feel but they have everything I need. Staff members are super helpful and friendly.

Lovelin Kumar

Great deals on common household groceries. Very well maintained and cleanliness throughout the store. Followed all the necessary precautions of covid 19 properly. They also do Airmiles loyalty program there which is great for me. Overall great experience.

Teresa M

Easy to get in and out. Store has attempted to put arrows on the floor to help with COVID distancing etc but many patrons neglect to follow them.

We live out of town and were just passing through the other day on our way to Calgary. We stopped here for lunch and I was surprised how nice it was. The sushi counter was wonderful and the staff were all really nice. The produce section was hands down the nicest produce department I've ever seen. Will stop here again to grab food next time I'm in the city.

Dustin Lawtey

Devon? The CS staff is so nice! Good selection here

Kelly J. Rose

Huge gluten free selection, and friendly staff. Nice location. Nothing overly special about this store though, very standard Sobeys

Jasmyn Jones

Great selection of everything! Super clean and bright. Staff are very courteous.

Cj Gouda

Easy entry/exit. Located next to Tim's for the trip home! Clean friendly staff. Always have stock and good deals. Daughter loves the free cookie at bakery. Thank you! Regular customer.

Emma Burt

Everyone keeps telling me that Sobeys has the best cakes, so i got a Mario Kart one, for my son's birthday. It looked amazing and everyone loved it. Thank you.

cathy van unen

I really like this particular Sobeys,lay out of the store is good ,bakery is awesome . The staff seems always friendly.

Michelle Hamilton

Love this store! So clean, friendly staff.

sherry

Clean store, wide isles which is nice change from other grocery stores. I like to go here when I am looking for something different as they have a large variety of different foods and a large bakery section. You can even get a shopping cart with a cup holder, a nice touch I think.

Ashley Dawn Fegan

Has a good variety, greats sales and is usually very fresh. My only complaint is the size of the parking lot. It fills up and can be hard to get in and out of

Ryan Curtis

The best selection in town hands down. Great layout, tons of space so you never feel crammed in with a bunch of other people. Trevor and his team are the nicest people in town and take customer service to a whole new level. Definitely worth driving past 5 other stores on the way from my house!

Jamie C

One of the only grocery stores I actually enjoy bringing my 3 toddlers shopping with me. The Car carts keep my 2 year old twins happy, and my 3 year old LOVES the mini customer in training carts. Staff is always super friendly and helpful.

Lisa Holland

Excellent gluten free variety. Even a dedicated spot for both freezer and dry goods that are GF. Prices can be a bit high, but sales are always excellent. Friendly staff and very clean.

Nikki Leigh (Bunneh)

Sobey's always has the best fresh buns!! Salmon bites are insanely delicious!! Clean store, and lovely staff. ???? (the steaks are pretty great too!)

Shantel Freeman

I had a terrible experience here.. I bought garbage bags.. I went to self check out.. I scanned the garbage bags and a different price came up.. so the lady and I walked back to where I got them.. she was so rude.. we scanned the price and it came back as the price that I thought it was. it was cheaper, so I was getting it for scanning code of practice. So the lady fixed it so I would get it as scanning code of practice. I thought she completed the order I was getting ready to walk out of the store and she's like you didn't finish your order. I was like Oh I thought you completed it. she's like no you need your receipt I'm like oh my goodness okay so I completed the order and she's like don't forget your receipt or you'll get stopped when you walk out. As she was right at the front door made me feel like I was stealing. Not impressed with the treatment I received from this store

John Schneider

I love going to This Sobeys. fresh food and lots of selection

Scott Erichson

Staff is friendly and you can always find what your looking for.

Joel Dumont

Man get over your selves and bring back plastic bags. Had to walk home in the rain and paper bag. That wasn't a good day. And we had to order dinner instead

Renata Ward

Love it! I've found there gf perogies!

MK Dee

Great selection of fresh produce but still the most expensive grocery store in town. Great pastries and breads. We always buy our salmon from sobeys too. Good check out time and clean store. Friendly staff. Fantastic gluten free selection

Geo Geddes

Top notch service and fresh goods from the produce to the bakery. Helpful friendly staff. Prices are higher than most places but you get superior service and goods.

Alyssa Martens

I normally have a decent experience at this location but I was embarrassed for the treatment I received tonight. I was shopping around 630 with my kid and had a full cart going through the check out. I was hardly greeted, rudely dismissed when I said I'd prefer paper bags and was given two boxes to fill and manage. I ended up having to box the items myself while the cashier tossed items down the lane at me and two other employees stood beside me chatting. Absolutely horrible experience this evening and I'm hoping no one else had to deal with that.

Dave Murray

They bake their bread here which i like.atmosphere is good . One of the best treats for me is the ready to eat pizzas,lasagnes,sheppards pies,,ready to eat cooked and hot pot roasts, chickens and hams. They smell so good and are conveniently available at supper time .i like the self checkout when it is working, but staff is friendly

Leanne Pittman

This is the Sobeys I Love! It is an independently owned and I've been going long enough staff either know me by name or facial recognition. I am always treated so well.

Michael Ross

Nice supermarket...for those from the state's, it reminds me of a slightly smaller version of a Kroger. It's the size & shape of the "good ol" neighborhood grocery that are sadly disappearing. It has a terrific Deli & freshly cooked/prepared food counter...very nice assortment of fresh baked good, salads, soups, broiled and baked goods (pastas, meat dishes, some pizza), cheeses, deli meats, sandwiches, and sushi. Staff is courteous & friendly. Very Impressed with this grocery chain in that it has a lot to offer in a cozy space at reasonable prices. And I don't have to walk a mile inside (like Walmart) to quickly find what I want.

Mike Kenney

A grocery store much like every other grocery store.

Meagan Parisian

The staff here are exceptional. The store is always clean and the products are top notch. Excellent gluten free section. They are also willing to look at bringing in items if they don't have them in store.

Danielle F

They dont price match, their tellers are not helpful, their parking lot is not well planned out and their prices are outrageous. A full dollar more than anywhere else in town. Doesn't sound like much but per pepper, And per Apple, it adds up.

Cody Skelton

Some incompetent staff on the front end, paper bags fall apart, none available at self checkouts and too high of prices throughout store. Only positive is the fresh produce and bread.

Scott Kerr

Pleasant staff. Everyone in the store is respectful of others. Always great selection of meat and produce.

Bill Fong

Good place . Staff were friendly and helpful. Went in looking for a sale item and was able to find it in good time. Prices when these guys have a sale are great.

Travis Allred

We shop there often. Great bakery and meat dept.

Jim Rudy

I don't usually use Sobeys Pharmacy because all my scripts are with a Pharmacy closer to home, but I was in the area of Sobeys 4 days ago and needed to get some iron supplement from a pharm which didn't need a script but had to be filled by a pharmacist. They said it would take 15 min to fill, so I did some other shopping while in the store. After paying for the groceries I went to the pharmacy to see if my prescription was filled yet. The pharmasist responded that if I didn't like the wait, I could just go to another pharmacy. All I needed was a "yes or no" answer, not attitude. I was in no rush...and didn't express any urgency concerning the same. Guess there's a reason why I chose a Pharmacy closer to home

Mat Corns

Your basic Sobeys store with friendly and courteous staff! The reason for the 3 stars is due to the horrible parking lot and having to try and navigate through without hitting anyone! Red Deer has some of the worst designed parking lots... Who would have thought you could design a bad parking lot...

sue greenbank

The cashier's are friendly and efficient putting orders through the checkout. There is always merchandise on the shelves and a good selection of fresh produce. It has a salad bar and deli. A good variety in the meat department. I like the self checkout there. It is wheelchair accessible and has a parking lot.

Kim Wilde

This is a gorgeous store, there's no doubt about it. I think my favorite on offer is Thiers deli and cooked goods area. There is a really nice array of prepared foods to take home that make mealtime simple and yummy. The stuffing thingies are so good and the cooked hams, found with the cooked chickens are delicious. The only down side for me, are the high prices which make shopping there, a special occassion for me.

Cindy Tschirren

Good service e didn't have the Gatorade I was looking for tho

rrisme7

Make the 30 min drive just to go to this store awesome selection on everything including gluten free options.

hmmmbird sky

my go to store! always stocked and with friendly efficient staff

BowWow PowWow

This location has a nice deli, I believe it's the only grocery store with a deli in the area. Everything is usually clean and we'll stocked. Staff are friendly.

Gary Brown

Two things: (1) There are always butchers available to cut meat if necessary, (2) This store has the best gluten free offerings of any store in Red Deer, by far!

Ron Wozney

Great people work there & manage this store. They have given my disabled daughter a opportunity to complete her work experience through Red Deer College. This store always impresses me with its cleanliness, quality produce & meat department. I find some items there I can't find in other stores.

Supergrahmzilla

Frickin' huge. Amazingly clean. Bright and spacious.

Wendy M

I absolutely love it when you walk up To a grocery store at 7:30 and the doors are locked. They don’t open till 8. Ummm hello do we live in s small town? NO!

Vickie Lapshinoff

Awesome setup for a grocery store

Phill Bing

My go to grocery store. Staff are friendly and helpful. Prices are comparable to other grocery stores possibly a little higher. If I have any beef with them it's the beef. I have recently had ground beef on two separate occasions with grizzle or possibly bone. Also their steak cuts and selection need improvement. Produce department is adequate and the bakery definitely produces some quality goods.

J S

Great place to shop. Major supporter of the Special Olympics. Prices are a bit higher here than some of the other options in the city, but I’m pretty loyal. They also have a great deli where you can get three premade subs for $9. Can’t beat that price when looking for a quick meal.

J Nicol

I would avoid this store at all costs - Patty one of the cashiers is one of the most rude and arrogant people I have ever have the unfortunate pleasure of having to deal with. Her treatment of us included mumbling under her breath, rolling her eyes and loudly complaining about not only us but another family to her coworkers and other shoppers.

Lady fashion

Ok at first i was taken back how aggressive and rude some bakery staff was then i complained Because my kids were with me it was super stressful they do not go out much but the manager was understanding open and concerned It changed my whole experience and i felt appreciated now i always go shopping there yes i love walmart but i love sobeys more they are so sweet attention to detail more creative choices and i love the higher end food choices. Plus my kids love how cozy this place is for shopping. I wanted shopping to be a comfy loving kind shopping experience where they pick healthy food without stress i love the bakery its the best yummy treats ????????

Fromelda Hyde

Very busy. Had a hard time in line. Damn covid don't help

Scott Fraser

Convenient location south Red Deer. Always seem to have a really decent supply of quality produce in stock. Meat selection is great as well, make sure to check out their sales! If you're looking for a hot lunch or dinner - this location generally has some great choices. Not the cheapest grocery store in Red Deer, though you won't be disappointed in the quality

Grant Thorn

Very friendly and down to earth people.Ordered take-out and the food is delicious.

Susan Godfrey

Love this store. Have great sales and the staff are fun to joke with. They have a huge variety of food including gluten free. If they don't have a product for the sale, they will substitute smaller ones for the same price to make it equal what is on sale.

Larry Massicotte

Seems like a pretty good store, Room in the parking lot for my semi. Reasonable prices. I deduct one star because of their corporate ties to Eastern Canada.
