Reviews of Safeway Fort Frances (Event Planner)

Karl Richards

Super friendly staff, decent food selection that is usually in stock. Some of the fruit can be a little on the not-so-fresh side, however I imagine that's more of a problem of it being imported from the states and Mexico rather than the store itself.

Gino Mathias

Dark, needs a refresher, almost empty soft drink isle, no fresh buns on a Sunday. Check outs were a zoo.

martin elyk

Ok for a small town

Bim Nguyen

I had a great shopping trip other than the customer who held up the Express line with 6 bags of groceries.

Jane Humble

Poor customer service today. Usually they have excellent service Must have got there on a bad day.

Sasha B

It’s okay

Michael Labute

Driving through and stopped to grab smokies ,buns and ice cream, clean and fast service

The Assistant Manager is amazing, he could probably be the manager there easily

Denis Mutz

Clean and has everything I need

WysteriaColours911

I know it's tough to keep shelves stocked in this town, but please open up more registers!

Rob Mitchell

Just like the other ones but I think you have to be here early in the morning? When they are freshly stocked as I couldn't find the things that are usually there and need ?! Great service and products ????????

Kelly Hoflock

Didnt actually go in but I'll give it a few stars anyway

Don king

Staff are friendly and helpful

Scott Bluenose

Very nice grocery store. Really beautiful flower section right as you walk in. Can't complain about a Starbucks in such a small town!!

Nice

Great price on cigarettes compared to Manitoba

Petty fogger

Safeway is one of my favorite grocery store chains. This is the closet one to where I live. Worth the 2 hour drive to stock up on some of my favorite safeway brands every once in a while!

Scott Foster

Always interesting

Nick Bruyere

Good selection. Never enough registers open at peak times though. I understand things happen and people take sick days and stuff but it seems consistently understaffed. They no longer have plastic bags (new bylaw) and they won't pack your bags for you, so be prepared for that.

Snug Bug

corri bedard

Prices could be better

Judy McCormick

Shelves have large bare spots. Could not get anything I needed

ken dumont

Good selections, friendly staff.

Natalie Danielle

The bathrooms were out of order!! Not good with a lot if shoppers.

Ron

Went there expecting to find only seniors like myself instead I found younger people there Said something to KEVIN but he shrugged it off Not cool

West Montague

Generic grocery store.

Jordan Allan (Jerdanalan)

Favorite section is the bakery. Always good stuff. Produce has limited space. The cut fruit section is usually the first section to be emptied. Personal products a bit pricey. Staff are friendly and very helpful.

Jolene Stahn

Produce could be a lot fresher and general stock levels get depleted often. Lines are also big at times so could be staffed more at the till. Staff are generally friendly and helpful though.

Josephine Tibbs

Nothing on the shelf it like your in Russia

kenneth dumont

Busy store , sometimes not enough staff to cover the amount of customers

Jeff Jones

Dale B

It's Safeway.

Rob Perreault

Clean, stocked and friendly staff.

jeff bull (BigBmoc)

We stopped at Safeway to pick up a cake. Maria who works in the bakery was unbelievable.My brother and sister-in-law are renewing their vows and we just wanted something that looked like a wedding cake what we got floored me Maria amazing. I simply cannot say enough about the beautiful cake she made for us.

Brenna Brothers

Good selection but somewhat expensive.

Ty G

A nice grocery store Canadian American dollar exchange

Alo White

Great staff. Very helpful. Always go above and beyond to help

Ramiro Matias

Beautiful store

BETTY Williams

Eye-watering Canadian prices and a single 1950's era toilet serving a ton of shoppers with a line that looks like a bakery in Venezuala. Sorry folks, but some bean counter in Ottawa has obviously never had to watch the 5 year old kid in front of them explode because she couldn't wait another 10 minutes for a potty break (or the retiree next in line to go in but who was going to pee on the floor too if he didn't ignore the weeping child). Seriously. How about some portable johns in the parking lot?

Geoffrey

Nice room for a fair price.

Matthew Sawatzky

Decent produce, the only reason i gave them 4 stars os because they are located across the street from my house.

Brenda Jingle-Gardner

Loves Safeway but the deli part. Some of the younger girls are rude.

Tina Wardstrom

Amazing 10/10

Luis Da Silva

Nothing special about this store, needs some competition.

Marina Bauman

Very friendly staff store is clean and well laid out price is not too bad

Derek E.

very slow service. but a decent store

Ashley Everton

Typical Safeway. It has a decent selection.

Kayla Haw

Well stocked shelves and staff are courteous

Krista Amirault-Kellar

Decent selection of food.

Charles Pries

We stop here to buy groceries in every Canadian fishing trip. You know your in Canada when you’ve pulled into Safeway’s parking lot. Very friendly staff.

Misty Leaf

General manager is a great guy who will bend over backwards to help people out. With that said Sobeys has basically destroyed the Safeway chain and brand. NEVER have anything that is on sale and this has been going on for a year now. Why even bother sending flyers out and wasting money on advertising with fake sales. My suggestions is start at Walmart and The Place. What ever you have not found can finally be found at Safeway potentially..... as long as it is not on sale..... pfff...

Kelly McKelly

Nice place. Clean and friendly service

Ladyhawkmb Heyer

It's clean with a friendly atmosphere and normally carry everything I need

memelovingfxckk

Good selection with Starbucks too! The lady in the produce section helped me find exactly what I was looking for! Emily at the check out was so nice in the express lane! Shelves are normally well stocked, except when they are switching their product to the sobeys items! And moving stuff but if you can’t find something I’d be sure to ask! It’s too bad the deli has such short hours.

Daniela Falk

Ok store. Limited stock. Nice staff

JS Chloe

Happy

Royce Allan

Run out of fresh produce frequently since Sobeys bought out Safeway

Brenda monastyrski

Ready to go food is great

Shiraz Elkheir

Workers are friendly and helpful

MIchael Ans

Good grocery store. Some prices very high.

Lisa E

I think when u place a call their tones and the way they speak to you is very unprofessional and rude

Kelvin Morrison

A the time we went, it was very nice.

Joanne Bursey

Good location and friendly staff

Tangene Hayes

I love this store! Everyone is so friendly, smells wonderful, everything is stocked...I dont think I've ever had to go without something on my list because they didnt have "it" in stock.

Ray Belanger

Friendly people and decent prices. Clean store

David Inkster

Great produce and deli section. Highly recommend

Cindy L.

Good place to grab some food

Shekinah K

Nit bad

Quinn Lesage

Not fun

Don Roth

Kind of expensive for a big box , but small town not a lot of choices , but there is a convenience factor with the hours and the deli is awesome !

Tom Yotter

I love to shop here when I am in town to work. The veggies and fruit are always fresh, and at reasonable prices. The staff are always friendly and helpful too.

Shannon Berg

This place was okay but, there are a lot of times that there arent enough tills open. Another note is that some of the cashiers think it's okay to check their text during a shift right in front of customers.

Mike Schnekenburger

Good selection...great staff

Lisa Atwood

Bad time of day to shop - no prepared salads/veggies. Bagged veggie supply was also near zero. So much for trying to avoid the crowds.

Aimee Millett

They have a huge selection or a town this size and the cashiers are mostly pretty friendly! Always available to help me find something or suggest an alternative.

Brenda Nanie

If you are sensitive to blue florescent light DO NOT use this bathroom, it is blinding. It's probably used to hide the dirty floor. They don't clean this bathroom regularly. The prices on groceries are expensive, understandable when your the only action in town. We made a mistake by coming here instead of our usual store in Emo.

dwayne radbourne

Expansive food wow and selected items according to community

LefT Pulse

Good service. Shelves stocked.

Rosalyn Calder

Last stop before we head up fishing. Great variety and good prices!

Mike Back

Nice workers and good produce selection

Alexander Ip

Easy to get into

Joe Jolicouer

The primary grocery store in Fort Frances. Well stocked and maintained. Good deli area and bakery area. Fresh produce area can be a bit thin at times but through not fault of the store but rather the remote location. A Starbucks is located inside and they sell beer. Friendly and helpful staff.

Ann Marie

They never have entire empty shelves like Walmart sometimes does and they don't leave pallets all over the place for multiple days like Walmart.

Leslee

Went to Starbucks staff was friendly expresso machine was down and the coffee was not the best. But will try again my next visit.

AJ Johnston

Can never find anything there and nobody around to help you. They should have employee's asking you in the store if they can help you find something. When you check out the cashier will ask you did you find everything and I say no and that is the end of the conversation. Out the door I go. Stop moving everything around so shoppers can find what they are looking for and try cleaning up the aisles so they are passable.

t noonan

Great deals friendly staff.

Ken Desjardins

Produce isn't great. Staff is very friendly though

ANN Amirault

Cooperative and friendly staff. Quick and efficient on the tills.

Rick Gruttner

Home of the worst spelling of the word beverage, took my fiance just to see it. Head down to the far end of the "Bevrge" aisle near the Arizona's to catch a glimpse for yourself

Jana Reff

Ove it

Jeff B

Good service, but meat section can be over priced for what they are selling,

Corey O'Neill

The store is always clean. Products always in stock. Prices are a little high.

Joseph Kapla

Very nice grocery, got everything we needed

Russell Cyr

Fresh food

Angie Langlois

(Translated) Large area with a nice variety of choices but no prepared salads offered in bulk (which I would have liked as I was passing through). There is a Starbucks coffee there, which is interesting because there are few cafes in this city. (Original) Grande surface avec une belle variété de choix mais pas de salades préparées offertes en vrac (ce que j'aurais aimé car j'étais de passage). On y retrouve un café Starbucks, ce qui est intéressant car il y a peu de cafés dans cette ville.

allan gibbons

Good place to buy a large variety of food

Kenneth Kelble

Very clean

Robert Helgeson

I like Safeway stores in general and this store is a great example of a well run store

Biggest supermarket in town and has almost all of our needs, including a gas station that you may get discounted fuel at.

Patrick Sullivan

Good prices nice produce

Ed Swart

Clean, Friendly, Good produce, and large parking lot.

justawhitechick

Generally had what we needed for a fishing trip. Lots of empty shelves though for 9 AM...

kay ralph

Was disappointed as usual. I am an air mile collector and try to take advantage of special collector days. Am always disappointed with not all products properly tagged with airmiles tags. Tonite, the Old Dutch tortillas were not marked with the correct flyer price. The till rang 3/$9 rather than 4/$10. And no airmiles showed on my receipt. Had to stay after the store closed to get everything sorted out. The Blue Friday's are getting worse. After shopping them every month for a year, I havent been for the last two. The number of Air Miles given has steadily dropped and the item selection is poor.

Hank Calder

it would do better if they had a retailer in Toronto

jake becker

Love the Safeway atmosphere

George Chuatico

Everything you come to expect when visiting a Safeway. Fort Francis may be small but the Safeway still carries the big city vibes. Plenty of parking and good location. Everything up to standard

Patrick Wilson

(Translated) Mo Kalashi is available to Lyn Mabe, an Arab marketer (Original) مو كلشي متوفر لين مابي مسوق عربي

Alan Burchell

Nice place

Cory Jaremko

Basic food store.

Nelson Chuatico

Great place to shop for us South of the border when we come to Canada for our vacation!!

Trevor Brown

Pretty good place to shop. Good bakery.

Jane Quirie

Went late in evening. Store was not very busy. At first only two clerks were open, then "hello miss I can help you here at number 6" friendly clerk opened up the til, he was so quick before I knew it I was through the line and on my way out the store. Great experience today. ☆☆☆☆☆

Bernard Gordon

Place is a nightmare. Need more staff.

Monica Lynn

They will rip you off and lie to your face, they never fix pricing errors and hope you don’t notice.

Bill Boreman

Found everything that I was looking for. The checkout service was very nice

Teri S.

Very disorganized. Not enough stock as advertised. Not a very clean store.

Justin Johnson

Because they put H2O on the cup instead of water :)

Google Sucks

Good prices

Lion Oshie

Very nice store.

Judy McEwan

Has everything I need. Good service. Clean restroom.

Dave Busch

Expensive, only buy sale items good variety all dept.s and clean. Washroom is ok not real clean.

DAVID McQuarrie

The best bakery and hot meal going.

Kevin Douse

Effortless to get through check outs today. They still need to open more checkouts when there is more than 3 standing in line.

David Bobert

We do not have more then a few grocery stores in town. But the supply is good.

Billy Halvorsen

I have never been to Safeway in Fort Frances without having to wait forever to pay. I was in trying to buy one container of blueberries and left without them. There were 3 tills open with 3-4 people lined up at each. Including the express. I don't see how opening another till wouldn't have been beneficial, especially considering there were atleast 3 other employees standing around. Poor.

Rose Gunderson

Never have what I need.

H G

This place is hit or miss. Vegetables hardly fresh and pricey. Most cashiers are friendly except for one. He move about as fast as molasses in -40 and will complain if you have more than one coupon from gas purchases.

Steve Mcrae

Great fast service, helpful staff

JOANNE URES-HALVORSON

Very nice store and excellent staffing.

Rick Tiede

Good food selection and decently priced

Dawn Jolicoeur

They are picked over if you go in the evening

John Hempstock

I do

Jessica Tolmay

Clean. Nice staff.

jayson watson

It's good, kinda dirty. But customer service is great! No complaints except clean the floors once in a while

Shirley Kroeger

Worked here for 4 years of my life. I'll never get those years back. 10/10 the people were pretty cool though

BEER eh

Not enough cashiers but they keep the store tidy
