Good servic

Sonia Joseph

Great place to shop. Friendly staff and if u ask for a product, they take you straight to the isle location. I love that. It's a busy store, I always shop here, because everything i want is always there. Great place to shop.

Talie S

The owners are great, staff is friendly, reasonable prices on a range of different items in the store i enjoy shopping here every month i get my pay and it's wonderful that the staff are able to help me shop when my worker isn't able to.

Lynne O'Leary

Joseph Joy

Great place for shopping groceries and good customer service.

Kevin Conrod

Good clean store staffis friendly

Clair Robertson

Small and reasonably priced. They have a surprising selection especially of "international" ingredients that are difficult to find elsewhere. I used to go to the big box stores but now it's my go to store that's just around the corner.

adrian weekes

Vegetables were a bit high! The dairy specials we're a good touch at this time of year. Overall, a good experience today.

LENA F

Compared to my local food basics, this one is way better selection and stock is great

Brittany Mcintosh

Great family neighborhood grocery store there is hardly ever aline and if there is its not to long ro get intothe store they clean there cashier area after each person

Zelda Thompson Thompson

Always clean, friendly staff and the produce department has really changed for the better. Almost always have advertised items.

Christina

I went here a few years ago, wasn't impressed. Prices were always great but the store wasn't doing it for me so I got caught in the zhers trap and have been over paying for a while. Went back today and WOW! This store has gone through a transformation! It was clean and has a great floor plan, no more cramped entryway, very organized and a great selections. I will definitely be driving the extra few kms to buy groceries from here from now on!

Joseph

Have been shopping here since moved to Barrie. Great price and no discrimination of shoppers disabilities

Marcel DePass

NoFrills has better prices. It's similar to Walmart

Krista B

This location has the cleanest & super brightest store that I shop for the groceries! Have a pleasant afternoon.

Thiru Muruga AD

They don't have much vegetables.

Kenneth Stanton

When will they understand how much we hate their idiotic bag it yourself system and the lie that it saves money is less believable than Donny Trump. I'll save aggravation by making most of my purchases elsewhere.

Valerie Rano

Only place I shop . employees are great and very helpful one person stands out the most is a lady named Sophia every time I shop and see her she helps me with any shopping needs I have and is a very nice ???? lady. Thank-you food basics.

Kyla Fodi

A reasonable place to shop for the basics. Does carry a different selection of international foods then FreshCo. Can have great sale prices and as long as the item is in the flyer you can get a rain check easily.

Fynn Touchette

They've got everthing!

Chris Fawcett

Well clean and well stocked. And very good pricing.

William Dearman

Great place to shop. Fresh vegetables, meats. Quick service, friendly service.

Great place to shop prices are reasonable only thing missing is a deli counter. They only offer prepackaged Deli items

Sadaf Hina

V organised store. V cooperative staff.

K Possible

Excellent prices....worth the drive sometimes from Innisfil

Moon

I've been going here for 14 years, never disappointed

캐서린Catherine Fequet

Good selection of different foods, good prices

Liavis Vilarino

It's my favorite place to have my groceries done. You can save a lot and at the same time their products have a great quality.

Neil Voutt

My go to grocery store, as its a rocks throw from my home. Great prices and watch the flyers there are always good deals. Early mornings and late evenings are great times to go because the lines are short. Staff are friendly and if you go there a lot they remember you and say hi!

Rap Rap

Cheap cheap cheap.

Things you might see in

Great place, got everything i needed.

Mike Tarsitano

It's a grocery store. It has grocery items as expected. Store appearance was clean a tidy.

Radu Cureteanu

Good social distancing!

Timothy Rosenberger

Great shopping experience here.

Jorge Alomoto (NGvisator)

Food basics is a fine place to get groceries for cheaper. However doesn't have some specific products one may be looking for or bulks like coscto may have.

Larry M

Store was fairly empty when I needed groceries. Had everything I was looking for

Mark Makivirta

They basically sell a lot of food

Endre Burka

Love it helpful and nice to talk with and just good to go shopping for food here .

Rocki Rukman

Price is good good quality is very poor.

Barrieadventuregirl

They have excellent variety of ethics foods and food from all over the world. I like the fruits too.

Brandon Harrigan

I understand the pandemic. I've been shopping here for over a year now. But this whole process of waiting for someone to finish bagging before they start ringing up is beyond frustrating. There has to be a better way of lineups- every time it's just a conglomeration of carts and bodies all struggling to form a line. Hand hold us a little and tell us where to form a line and have someone direct it. Times are tough and covids thrown everyone for a curve. But I think having shoppers all jam packed is worse than it was before. I'm by no means someone that's worked grocery and I don't see your financials but it's one more body during the day. It would likely take a considerable amount of pressure off of your staff as well as clients by having more forced hand-holding. It takes so long to get checked out now I stopped shopping here :(

Carmen Clauser

Even though they stopped carrying my favourite biscotti, this is still my go to grocery store. Always clean and well stocked, staff is helpful, friendly and ready to serve in all departments. A really great team, thank you for your service.

Angela Cookson

I am new to the area and have gone shopping at this Food Basics a handful of times. Each time I have gone they have been out of one or two basic items I went for. When it happens once it’s a coincidence, twice it’s a happenstance, three times it’s a pattern. I’ll try them again, as it’s super convenient location for me, but I don’t want to have to return the next day for something I need.

AFFA Studio

Omg best deals but I shouldn't tell everyone on what because it will be all sold out when I get there so I'm keeping that to myself. Friendly staff.

Tasneem A.

Clean and very helpful staff.

Chris ABC

Pretty sketchy when 4 out of 5 staff don't wear their masks properly. Great work guys.

Kate Gerogianis

Good grocery store but no mini pita bread and no taheni. Lots of indian produce but not much for middle easter cuisine.

r n

Good prices good staff.

Andrea

Great place to buy groceries. Very clean.

Tina Machado

Good specials every week on fruit/veg and staples. We usually don't buy meat there. They have a good pharmacy area. Some interesting International items available. Fast check out. Clean store.

Steven R

They always have good sales. Not always the best produce. But. It is good.

Kim Jury

Decent selection, basic foods not to many fancy foods. They have a good selection of cheeses, a good produce department and precooked chickens. Clean store

Les Baczynski

Low prices for veggies like $2.8 for Roman lettuce compare $5 at Walmart. Also cheeper radishes, green onions. Chicken thighs, $1.88 per pound. Short lineup. Low prices for vegetable oils. Many other savings available.

Kianna Lee

Great shopping for all my needs

Lois Mason

Great Service and amazing Staff. Very helpful in many ways.

Melony Cogan

Nice place to shop. Affordable, great selection, and always clean.

Ian Black

Very affordable price tags, very clean and organized Friendly and helpful staff

chris stix

Great staff and good prices, stocks have been a bit low lately though.

Lino

Reasonable prices fresh produce it is okay just another No Frills

Angela Legas

Love this store. They have the best selection in international foods. Prices are amazing too

Linda Sherwood

Its not the greatest for meat .it is like no frills

Jennifer K

Lacks choices for nut free products.

Stef

Good deals to be found here, but the produce isn't always fresh and they sell out of the sale stuff often. Also, not the safest place during covid as it gets pretty crowded and staff don't really enforce covid rules.

金玫Barrie 华人地产经纪 Mei Jin

It's the only one in Barrie.

Kerri-Lee Vogan

Ok prices but they are often out of or lacking one produce item or another. It is close to my home but I make the longer drive to No Frills where I can get even better prices and PC products. I do not like the dairy brand (milk, sour cream, etc.) that food basics offers as I find the quality is often lacking. Overall clean store if you have no produce/brand preferences.

Phil Clark

Food seems to on par if not a tad cheaper than surrounding grocery stores but the staff at the cash are rude. Customer service and good manners goes along way.

Gordon Munro

If the selection was wider it would be a 5 star. Puts over priced store Zhers to shame.

rafa0920 rafa0920

The handsome young fellow in produce named Jake is an outstanding worker, he deserves a raise!!

Melanie Rully

Great values every day.

Richard Fernandez

I do my weekly shopping here with great produce

Marc Jakobs

Good grocery store with some more reasonable prices. Lots of parking and easy to get to.

Sebastien Cote

Made a great won tong soup, I wish more seafood wasn't from China farms (don't buy from China farms)

Marlise Cipriano

Big store, clean aisles and lots of Portuguese products which I love! You can never go wrong with their rotisserie chicken for an easy meal after grabbing groceries. Lots of parking too

Karla Varella

Good prices. Good quality items

Kathy Hennessey

Very personable helped us recover my daughter's phone with all of her credentials. We were very pleased with service.

Sharon Hulmes

This is a budget store with lots of fresh produce and a fair sized bakery department. Big variety of grocery products.

Richard Coburn

Usually well stocked and lines never too long

Amarpreet Sran

This food basics is very clean and organized.And it has a lot of international food varieties.The staff here is always friendly.

Lvs

The prices are generally good compared to other grocery stores

Kaleb Bernou

On multiple occasions months apart, I've seen (and accidentally bought) goods that are well past due (talking a month or more here). Last month I went and most of their packages of tortillas were blatantly moldy, as well as some of the grapes they were selling. I also regularly see frozen vegetables with rips in the packaging. Produce in general isn't the freshest either. The rest of the store is satisfactory though. Fairly well stocked, prices are good.

David Burton

Clean store with friendly staff. Out of stock on multiple flyer items.

J & J Hoffman

Often the best price in town.

pierre levesque

Store was nice and clean, and we'll stocked

Elsa Gurton

Not the cleanest.. busy checkouts. Limited options if looking for gluten-free or organic. Store bagels are frozen and then thawed, but doesn't state that on packaging.

Shawn Munslow

Good clean store Well stocked . Presents staff

Morales Caridad

I like this place because always have good deals

James Kelly

Decent deals but not the best selection of fresh foods. Good for non perishable items and your general day to day items.

Danny Egan

Good food market...good prices

Skye Nicol

Good place to grab the odd dry goods, produce is usually picked over and not as fresh as it could be. Location is convenient for people in south Barrie, Thornton, Utopia and Ivy. The parking lot gets a little hectic with the amount of cars and the other businesses.

farshad hafezolkotob

Always good prices. Specially to day close to Easter and long weekend the price of lam was assume.

K.D. MacDonald

Nice clean store....down on something's basically because of covid 19. Has been my store of choice since forever when I lived in the K-W area.

CEU MELO

I enjoy shopping at the store but I would enjoy it better if they had some kind of rewards program for the money you spend in there in the store rewards do accumulate and they can be turned into money and their prices I pretty much compatible with everywhere else so they should come up with some kind of a rewards program.

Gilbert F

Well organized and great produce

Nariman emad

Clean and organized.

Debbie Duff

Sad to say but found latley they are not following covid rules with cleaning cashes or terminals before and afer yes between customers. Allowing mire then one customer at their cash at a time

Esther Paolini

For me always a pleasant experience from produce to staff. Products fresh and plentiful even at this time some exceptions due to covid. Pricing good as well. Thank you.

Nanna Bou

Better than No Frills.

K Febbs

Often find stuff in the flyer isn't available, very disappointing. Well stocked otherwise. This store is the typical grocery store. Pharmacy staff is fantastic!

Gordon Bowen

Good service, knowledge where products are located in store.

Paul Labossiere

Some stock areas near empty, other areas over stocked. Aisles a bit narrow.

Diane Webster

My husband just informed me that he went to Food Basics for some salad. They've reduced their hours to 8 to 8 and open only 5 days a week. There was only one cashier with a line up around the store. How is this helping social distancing with everyone in one line up? This also causes people to buy more and hoard items and empty shelves, which we should be avoiding. Wouldn't it be better to have more staff, more hours to get people in and out as quickly as possible and keep things as normal as possible. This doesn't even deserve one star. Use some common sense.

K L

I come here once a while. This place has its edge for some good products at good price. But produce is not always fresh.

Alain Henderson

Great selection, prices match or beat many other stores. Prefer to buy local and support local businesses.

steve s

The fresh produce is often not very fresh at all. For a quick grocery run they're good, but for produce I would go elsewhere.

Hyde Me

Lots of stock, good prices. Could use a few more cashiers.

MAD man

Always clean and stocked up

Deb H

This location is clean and well stocked. Didn't care for the cashier that helped us.

Eden DeCaire

Food Basics at Essa Road in one of my top 3 grocery stores. Can’t beat the deals on regularly used/consumed items! Not only is it a great store, but their Manager Richard is a gem! I called asking whether I could obtain some moving boxes. Richard said sure, he would keep them for me and not crush them for the recycling. What a stand up guy. It was MUCH appreciated. This is not my first experience with Manager Richard. Years back I left my wallet behind in the basket of my shopping cart. One of the “cart boys” found it and turned it in. Richard then proceeded to notify my banking institution to contact me regarding the lost wallet. I was so grateful to have my wallet back with cash still inside! Good people at this Food Basics location. Saddens me to be moving away from it. God Bless.

Charlene Andrews

When I went there no carts were available so the lady at the door asked the gentleman to please get some more carts. He made it quite clear he was mad about it. It is his job and as a customer I didn't need to see that. Also when asking a worker if they had any mushrooms he said rudely I don't know I am in the meat department not the vegetable department. When I found the man from vegetable department he was very helpful. I know everyone is under stress because of covid but we are still paying customers that need to be treated better as we are stressed as well. I probably won't go back there again.

Susan McGrath

Not bad but some items were way over priced.

Monica Russell

I like this store. The staff are always helpful and friendly

sydney walsh

Customers can be super ignorant and dismissive of the cashiers hard work in this fast paced environment. Sad to see how rude people can be these days. These cashiers are just kids and do not get paid enough for the lack of respect they receive. I came in the other day and was extremely disappointed to see customers making cashiers feel guilty for something they cannot control like the length of the lines. Keep up the good work cashiers!

Alicia Stocco

Fresh vegies everytime

Amanda Aust

Great prices but produce quality is hit and miss. They often sell out of weekly big sale items too quickly sometimes with in 2 days and dont always get sale items back in stock before sale is over. Quality of meat is just ok. Staff is usually friendly and helpful.

Wilson Moreau

Overall it's a good place to shop

Carlie Thompson

Terrible produce. They literally had rotting vegetables out for sale. I left with nothing I went in for as everything was disgusting.

Misty M

Be careful of the vegetables you buy. Bought a few bags of potatoes with rotten ones on the bottom. The bell peppers looked great on the outside but were all mouldy inside. And there were a lot of fruit flies.

N James

We always do our shopping here. Great prices. Only 4 stars because the fruit and veggies need to be carefully checked.

Jason Barrie

2021 December (5/5): Was in and out of here quickly, they have new self-check outs which are really quick...store is clean, no complaints at all this time... November 2020 update (1/5): they got new debit/credit machines in about a year earlier (maybe more, maybe less, cannot remember, I only am here during cottage season), they have never worked in terms of tap which is a BIG issue in relation to covid IMO. Have asked about it and have gotten rude responses at times from their cashiers. Basically I am told it is the fault of my cardS yet my cardS work at EVERY every other store at every other machine outside of THIS location of FOODS BASICS I have ever tried. Maybe it is that till, nope tried other tills at this store. Get better customer service, get better tap machines (especially in light of covid), until then you are not getting a penny of the $1500 I spend on groceries a month... 2017 (5/5): Could have more selection but the prices here are really great! Hwy 400 was a mess recently (Sept 2017) so booted down Essa to 27 and saw this place so figured would check it out, actually had some really good deals and the produce is excellent quality, will return...also love the fact that no money is required for a cart, big plus on that option here too...

John Scott

I like to shop local and support local businesses the cashier was awesome i recommend shopping here

Robbie

Was ok. The lighting was off and the prices weren't as good as NoFrills.

Lee Barber

I picked up some Broccoli and found worms in it! Two weeks in a row. Disappointing Food Basics. The pic is one of many.

Steve H

Its OK here, and they have gotten better items available after the years, but still could improve greatly. Needs a way better fish selection.. they literally have a few different frozen ones and thats it. Maybe a fresh one like zehrs. Stores busy enough for it.

Ceu Melo

Love their prices their products the store is clean and also carries imported goods produce is fresh staff is friendly, dedicated, courteous, and very helpful it's convenient has plenty of parking wheel chair assessable lots of good promotions.

Tishna 31

Good customer service, no que

Sarah Double

Food Basics on Essa is a great place to shop! Affordable stuff, great selection, and always clean and well stocked! Even on the day before Labour Day, the staff was stocking sale items and cleaning, and they were still so helpful! They're always so friendly at check out too. Thank you for making grocery shopping less of a chore, especially on one of the last days before school starts :)

randy kincaide

Good prices and product is fresh.

Bonnie Lynch

EVERYONE. WAS VERY HELPFUL TO HELP.ME...WELL STOCK OF.EVERYTHING.

Ana Medeiros

Its a hit and miss.

STEPHEN ZABA

Maggie Wyder

Shakir Khurshid

Michael Sullivan

As is common out of the featured specials

Allan D

Check the flyer, always something good on sale. But make sure you check the prices at the register. Sometimes mistakes are made.

Angham Abboosh

Good place

Debbie McConnell

I have only been driving by, not going in.

Cris B

Good produce. Limited health food section.

Paul vS

Good prices and hard working staff. Good job with keeping everything Covid clean. Our kids love their Selection brand potatoe chips and also those are at a decent price!

Guy Larocque

Great prices and service

jorge m

This place has a great selection of meats is always clean nice fruits E-Z Parking handicap parking and entrance included and always great prices

ruth tompkins

I always have a good experience when I go there. Food is fresh and good prices. Staff is helpful. I use the pharmacy there and they are great. My prescriptions are always ready every month I don't even have to call just go pick them up. I think overall the store is great and clean as well.

J Young

This is an good store don't get me wrong. It's a food basics so I can't give it a 5 like I would a Loblaws or a Nandos. You get the basics and it's for the most part clean as it is busy store. Usually there is no real wait times as it is adequately staffed imo. Pretty sure some of the staff are frustrated sometimes and they make it kind of obvious and I find sometimes rude but this would not be the norm. Overall it has what you need and it's basic. Don't be looking for Loblaws quality store here but it will do

Gord Hester

I just moved from Midland to Barrie. I've always shopped at food basics in Midland. This morning I went shopping at your Essa rd location. I was shocked and surprised you dont have an electric cart for people with mobility issues. I'm sorry but for as long as I've been a loyal shopper I will no longer be able to shop at food basics. I will find a grocery store that has electric carts. Ty

Vester Nelson

Loveit

kellieshannon1

I shop at this food basics all the time the staff are very friendly and always smiling. Today I went shopping and lost my phone when I went in I spoke with a cash manager who checked the cameras without hesitation she was very concerned as I told her all my ID was in my phone case. She apologized and I went out to look in the carts and still could not find it. A couple hours later my husband called the store and he was informed that the manager was on his way to my house to drop off my phone as he got my address from my drivers license. I am so grateful the manager went out of his way to drive to my house to drop it off he went above and beyond. Amazing staff !

Rick Dorsen

Clean and great facility to shop for grocery

Michael Fong

Has eveything that is needed and usually good weekly specials. Just too bad they don't price match.

Brandon L

It's a really good place for muffins. Other than that it's pretty gross in there. The produce section never actually has fresh fruit. And the cashiers tell to talk to each other about their day when dealing with a costumer.

Haylan Riley

A decent grocery store lacks on baby options.

slavlord

Great experience, every time. Cha-ching

Sargon Zaya

very bad location and because on the app told me food basic extra virgin olive oil on sale and this location they didn't have that on sale and didn't match the price that is on the picture the olive oil and the date even i been told that sale is different location is like every location sale thinks the way the want

Karen Eakin

Great time to shop is Wednesday when it is not crowded and you still get items that are on sale. Sometimes you will even get the next week sale items.

Peter Evans

Great prices on a wide selection of groceries and household goods. You can do your weekly shopping here and match Walmart prices on your overall bill.

Shel Fairservice

Much better then it was. I prefer shopping here then Sobeys now. The food seems fresher in produce and the staff seem eager to help.

James Seguin

Very nice, with an actual sincere effort was put into cleanliness, safety and distancing! Other retailers and box stores can learn a thing or two about safely serving customers during Covid-19 2021 from Food Basics

szajko solutions

great prices always lots of deals good place to fill your shelves

Anne Lee

BEWARE OF WRONGLY PLACED "SALE" ITEMS, LIKE THEIR VIVA PUFFS COOKIES ..... THEY THREW A BOXFULL OF THEM ON TOP OF A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BRAND (THAT REALLY WAS, ON SALE). WHEN YOU GET YOUR BILL, THE PRICE IS WRONG. IT'S HIGHER. YOU BRING THIS STOCKING MISTAKE TO THEIR ATTENTION (CARL), AND AS A REWARD, YOU ONLY GET THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PRICES. SOME CREDIT SHOULD BE GIVEN THE ONE, WHO INFORMS THE STORE OF THEIR MISTAKE. UNLESS, THE STORE IS OKAY WITH RIPPING PEOPLE OFF, AND/OR DEALING WITH CUSTOMERS RETURNING THE ITEM AT CUSTOMER SERVICE - ONE BY ONE. LESSON: DON'T BOTHER HELPING OUT ANY OTHER SHOPPERS, BY TELLING MANAGEMENT OF AN ISSUE OF WRONG PRICE. THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'VE DONE THEM ANY FAVOURS. FUNNY HOW THIS "MISTAKE", PUT MORE $$$$ IN THEIR POCKETS .... I RETURNED THE ITEM. SO MUCH, FOR 8 YRS OF PATRONAGE. ????

scott monteath

Best low budget grocery in barrie. Good selection

Kurt Richardson

Great store and great prices.

Jesse Ramirez

Let me tell you all this store when every place else a holiday the store is open so keep that in mind everything you can find in the supermarket like you going to shopping service same thing full and good service locally owned lot of parking so enjoy it

Adam

They had a single express checkout lane and five self checkouts open today. With a line up of about a dozen customers. I don't understand why companies feel that these self checkouts are an acceptable replacement for actual staff, when you have a couple hundred dollars worth of groceries and are forced to self check them them the inconvenience quickly becomes apparent. Especially when a good portion of your purchases are not bar-coded, vegetables and fruit. I suppose they're trying to save a few bucks by installing these self checkouts, but it's a self defeating process, as I'm now much more likely to not even bother, and go get my fresh groceries from a smaller market that is more likely to employ a human staff. Three stars because the quality of the veggies is pretty good.

Victoria Ptasiuk

Love shopping here. Friendly staff, usually have 9 of 10 sale items in stock. The no name items are good quality at lower prices. Good selection and the ethnic isle is awesome for trying new stuff.

Nichole Laskowski

Pretty decent prices. The fresh produce however is definitely far from fresh. Tomatoes soft, cucumbers soft.

Brenda Urbanski

Was disappointed. Entry was controlled but, once in the store, social distance was not enforced. I was checking out and an employee came over to chat with my cashier and brushed shoulders with me. There were no plexiglass protections around the cashier and They had no PPE

LI

prices up as in other places ...

Andrea Piitz

Low prices. Friendly staff. Pretty ok selection of products

George Balzer

Would not recommend... I am overcharged on groceries every single time I am there. When I complain, they tell me the product is now free but they charge me double instead. Also, when an item is on sale, you can be guaranteed they are out of stock! This has been a problem for more than six years. I only shop at Food Basics because it is local. I now pay more for groceries but at least I only pay once for it and it is always on stock.

Alexander Faulds

Was waiting for customer service when (found this out later) the store manager "Richard" jumps the line and gets staff to cash his groceries first before me and i was waiting 5 min! GREAT manager! NOT!!!

Massimo DeRocchis

Freshest vegetables and fruit. Great savings everyday.

Bell kins

Always clean. Little to no line uos at cash. Usually fully stocked. Staff is always friendly and helpful

Nicole Harrington

Good store, long lines sometimes. Most employees are friendly. Prices are okay.

maria zuniga

Good options for different products,and variety of prices.

Sebastian Mueller

Moldy bread... found today on the shelf. Enough said.

G S

Bad variety of fresh vegetable and meats Seems a little run down

Wes Smit

This store is long established in the community. With great prices, good parking, amazing produce and especially the kind staff. This food basics is the whole package.

Gregory Hanson

Good selection of items at better prices than sobeys same company Today produce was fresh and ample selection

Wendy Woolhead

good selection Clean

Chad Connolly

Great prices but not much bulk selection

Larysa Radewych

They have good deals. Wish they were more consistent with produce freshness. This location anyways.

May Lee

Great stock. Love the variety of produce ????

Courtney Star

Lots on sale so I was happy with this visit ????

Judith Reynolds

Not alot of variety for different cultural foods

Ken Y.myself

This store has low prices, but I noticed they had many missing shelf labels, staff avoided eye contact, the customers were nice, but the in-store employee culture appears to be suffering from a more online based shopping industry. I suggest management tough it out, put on a smile, say hello, and your employees will follow suit.

June Hinkson

Just got what I needed and left. Staff is fast and efficient.

Eye Kiss

I'm pretty mixed about this store. Some prices were good, some higher than I'm used to. The produce was in really poor shape, but lots of variety. The store was very messy in parts. Worse than any store I'm used to. There's lots of International food selection, which is a huge plus. Lots of gluten free, dairy free and sugar free variety which is great. I will shop here again for certain things, but definitely far from best grocery store in Barrie.

Lynn Nettleship

All associates very friendly, floors clean and everyone busy stocking it was very refreshing too see everyone engaged with customers and not stressing but enjoying their job, Great Leadership.

Jan Sundberg

Great food prices, and specials big parking lot ,good selection. Groceries..fresh fruit and vegetables..store value brand. All you need for all your top brands plus supporting stores in same plaza

brian wright

Good place to get groceries. But people if you going to shop please wear a mask or face shield and don't argue about it
