REVIEWS OF FreshCo University & Bridge IN Kitchener

MC French

Their hours are wrong. The door says they close at 12am, yet I went there last night at 10:30pm and they had the front doors already blocked off and wouldn't let anyone in.

Greg Renon

I love shopping here, always have????

Dominic raj Xavier

The prices are cheaper over here than Walmart and there is food varieties for all cultures available. Must check it out!

Kw Nightwalker

The one problem with this fresco is the shells are regularly empty the store is disorganized and is known to be very messy the staff is not always helpful and I find a store very dis-organized overall. I also find that it is also hard to get a shopping cart at this location as they never fill up their place where you can get a shopping cart their cashiers are also very unfriendly that is why am giving them a little mark on this review however their prices are fairly good that is one good thing about fresco.

Manish Shukla

Wide range of cost efficient international products available

Brian Pengelly

The good points: low prices and a better variety of international foods than most of the non specialty groceries in Waterloo (which isn't saying much. Waterloo is soo white!) Bad points: No PC label foods, produce is on the lower end quality wise and find doesn't keep as long and there are many things I can't find or limited options (as one expects at a low tier grocery store) But after having shopped at No Frills in the GTA for years I find myself consistently disappointed and frustrated here and end up only shopping here once a month when I only need basics.

George XX

They have good prices for most items that I use daily thank you

P M

Repeatedly good experiences here. It's the only place close by to get raw foods at a lower price. I sometimes have to go out of my way for it.

Meera Maharaj

Excellent service..fully stocked.. very helpful and pleasant staff. Doing a super job keeping social distancing rules. Very quick checkout in spite of the long lines. Well done and thank you everyone at Freshco!

Stephan J

Vegetables are fresh and we have a variety to choose from. Prices are reasonable. Don't forget the 20c for the shopping cart.

Saul

Excellent food quality and amazing staff. With-out a doubt, this specific location for FreshCo franchise is one of the best places to shop for fresh vegetables and fruits. …

Kateryna Chypachenko

Very nice place)

Shawn Bowman

The largest issue was with customers ignoring the 2 meter rule and the arrows on the floor. I'd recommend going at a less busy time.

Royal Sequeira

The place to go for fresh vegetables and of course Indian rice. Couldn't find cottage cheese here!

David Wang

A shout out to Fresh Co on the corner of University and Bridge in Waterloo. I dropped my toothpaste and when I got home, I realized that I didn't have it. I suspect I dropped it in the parking lot. When I went back the next day, they replaced it free of charge. Incredible customer service. So refreshing...

DJ Ludington

Come here on the regular! Nice and clean with fresh produce and a great return/refund policy

Allan C

One of the more disorganized experiences I've had in a grocery store since the pandemic began.

Laura OrignallyApple

This was my first visit to this location! The store was super clean and staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I was super impressed with the deals too!

Albert James Copeman

The store was clean and the checkout staff efficient.

Cheryl Brown

Sorry FreshCo/Sobeys this is not being kind or nice. This was posted on Facebook. Not my experience but has left me wondering about your training policies.

Nishesh Mehra

Amazing prices and fresh produce.

Mounika Chittedi

Overall good experience but giving 4 star rating just because I hope there should be some leafy vegetables and varities.

Joy Colclough

Prices are better here than anywhere including Walmart...great produce... again better than Walmart...great selection of products and the meat is better than other discount grocery stores eg food basics their meat selection isn't nearly as good quality or prices

Al Mneimne

Prices are great. We were given a discount coupon the last time we went there, and we used it this time. Staff are nice and helpful. Covid safety measures are in place! I prefer it to Walmart and other nearby grocery stores!

S.D .S

Cheapest place to buy your grocery products! Plus they also offer price match which others like Walmart and Zehrs do not lol! Although there selection is 1/ 8th of others~!

Craig Lehmann

Great prices, clean store with a decent checkout speed. Could be improved with a larger selection of international foods.

Sarah Corbeil

Good produce and selection. Reasonably priced. Nice staff.

Graham Fischer

Great selection of all different types of ethnic foods. Nice friendly staff too

Mario Stocco

This is now our main grocery store

Beverley Butler

The staff is helpful and friendly, the shelves are well stocked and the produce is usually quite fresh. I'm a little concerned with the amount of refrigerated stock that I often see in crates in the middle of the isles waiting to be put into the cooler section and my breads and cheeses from there seem to go mouldy before best before date so that is frustrating. Other than that it's a great location.

Prasad N

Freshco is a good place for buying vegetables including many Asian varieties.

Rob C

Best grocery store in the area! Has a great selection of ethnic foodstuff and lots of pickled vegetables! Fair prices and friendly staff! Optimum points are a scam - I end up spending less money and being more satisfied shopping here ????

Yusof Ghiasi

Best place to buy routine groceries. It is really FRESH co.

Stephen Turner

Typically my first choice for shopping. I think it has surpassed Food Basics in the last couple of years.

Thomas Brüggemann

Great service, friendly and interesting groceries in stock!

Richard Abbott

Good pricing and sales..good for meats and dry goods over produce..prices have risen since change in minimum wage.. Coincidence?

Matthew Orpen

I prefer to shop here. Great store with better prices than the others in the area

Usman A

my favorite groc store in all of kitchener/waterloo best prices and selection is amazing especially for middle eastern and halal foods - they have halal by hand meat!

G Berlet-Kuehl

Low prices, price matching, and NO self checkouts! Yah!! Staff are friendly and provide great service

Michelle Burgess

Frescho is following Covid regulations. You line up outside but it moves quickly. The store is clean. Staff all wearing masks and gloves. Produce is fresh. Shelves are stocked. My new go to store. Plenty of parking as well.

Matthew Rigelhof

Pretty much the only grocery store I go to unless I need some specialty stuff. They always have what I need for fantastic prices, they might not be Price Choppers anymore, but they still chop the costs! Super friendly staff as well!

Greg Wczesniak

Good place to do groceries shopping!

Dan Dickinson

Shopped there many times. Had a horrible experience on December 21st where the cashier didn’t speak a word to me? Little brunette who is put out by the fact she’s had to interact with the world! Not a word. Rang my stuff through and stared …

Kerstin

This FreshCo has been my main go to grocery store for many years. In that time I've seen it go through various upgrades and am glad to say that this store is always clean, well organized and now also features a good selection of ethnic, vegan & gluten-free foods. Produce and meats are always fresh and the staff is very friendly. I particularly enjoy seeing the owner around the store quite often, helping his staff and greeting his customers! Thank you for the great selection! I'll keep coming back!

Farah Govani

The store had some good sales, and was nicely stalked. I was able to get and find everything I needed. The staff was also friendly sky and happy to help.

Michael

My family shops here regularly. Price and selection are fantastic, not to mention a great staff of mostly younger, high school/university students. The only thing about this store and location is that if you are shopping for meats and/or fish, they don't have a good selection of products. Not to mention the price on said meat and fish are really quite high for the quality

John Kuntze

Great no frills grocery store. Good weekly specials with product in stock. Range of international food also.

THE WITCH

Attentive staff, friendly and helpful

Candice Groves

Store is ok. Not very clean. Fruit and veg aren't always fresh. But prices on pre-packaged food is always good

Divya S

Friendly staff. Good and fresh products as always.

Matt Thomas

This is my regular grocery store. Always enough parking, prices are reasonable, staff are friendly, and produce is good. Their baked goods are fine although I wish they had an onsite bakery.

Jarrod Vandonk

Owner, managers and staff are great. Prices are always lowest in town and they always have great sales.

Andrei “PrimeSeventyThree” Grichine

Good selection of food at a reasonable price. Like theirs international/European food section. It’s not big but you can get some treats that are not usually available at other big box stores.

Johnny

The cashier struck up a conversation with me in regards to some recipes that would coincide with my purchases he also gave me options of packages as I had forgotten my bags it was a pleasant shopping experience

Bill Anderson

Staff is mostly the reason i go there..Super friendly and always a smile The store can get busy but that is on THE CUSTOMER'S If your one of those shoppers that needs to wander in a daze with your Timmies cup....YOUR PART OF THE PROBLEM

Sonic Alley Studios

The sanitation of the carts is onnnnnn poiint! Haven't seen that efficiency anywhere else

Cody Reese

Had a wide range of options, was easy to find the items on my list at a decent price.

Cameron Moore

Good prices and clean store. Produce selection is pretty weak and doesn't carry most local products even when they're in season.

Sergio Pochon G

Compare to the other FresCo on Franklin in Kitchener, this one is cleaner, better service

Kristal

This is due to the two cashiers at till 1 and 2 (one girls name is Andrea) on Sunday...they two girls were very unprofessional cracking rude comments about customers very loudly, that you could hear them and laughing about the customers. Very unprofessional!!! This is not the first time I have encounter rude comments from these two ladies!!!

Andrew Brown

Best fresh co ever!! Honest to god the rolls and fresh buns here are clearly from a bakery. Sooo good.

Samuel Taylor

We go out of our way to come here. Good prices, fresh produce and staff are very quick at checkout.

Jolizzle Dizzle

This is the best grocery store in the whole city!

Mark Hiemstra

I was a regular shopper here, and I priced match every week because "LOWEST PRICES GUARANTEED". One evening, as I was going through checkout trying to price match, everyone of price matches was declined. I have now switched to shopping at Walmart, and they alway price match, without hassle. Today I stopped to pickup a few things, and tried to price match ground turkey. Again my price match was declined. The reason "Family pack only." I tried to explain, that under the "Lean Ground Beef Family Pack" That "Extra Lean Ground Chicken or Turkey at 450g was 2.88 each. Again I was told, "Nope, that is for family pack only." This often the response I get when I try to price match. I will continue to shop at Walmart. Sorry FreshCo, but you have lost a loyal customer

Jamie Anderson

Their prices are better than Zehrs on Lincoln, and the produce is fresher.

Pat Whitelaw

Line-ups , produce is begining to be second quality. Very disappointing! Maybe going to start shopping at Zehrs, pay a bit more , but much better quality !

S.D .S

Cheapest place to buy your grocery products! Plus they also offer price match which others like Walmart and Zehrs do not lol! Although there selection is 1/ 8th of others~!

Bonnie Currie

I love this store!! The food is fresh and the staff is friendly. The prices also make me smile. :-)

maria

Good prices and staff, not the best quality but still a good store!

Steve Dressing

Shoddy produce, poor selection and chronically long lines. Decent for popping in for the odd quick common item. Otherwise well worth the trip elsewhere, especially to the nearby Wal-Marts. Today I even noticed a notice on the door stating the FreshCo would search all hand bags and back packs, a place that assumes they can search me without warrant isn't a place I want to shop.

Bruce Martin

The cashier's are doing a tremendous job and they work so hard and are always so polite BUT I was treated rudely by an employee who went a little overboard in his role directing me along the line . I understand times are tough but manners go a long way . Sorry I have to do this .

Robert Dorey

I find the prices and the quality of the produce to be reasonable here. The meat selection could be better.

VenkataSaiKumar Renduchintala

Have less variety of veggies but could get everything in an affordable rates. Easy to find and commute in public transport.

Hannah Tremblaine

Very organized and well maintained place.

Bogdan Marin

Our store of choice in regards to groceries. As they change isles on a pretty regular basis, they could have their personnel more knowledgeable as where to find what.

Adam Checketts

Was better than last time I was here. I’m usually disappointed at how “run down” and messy it is. Looked a bit better this time. Loads of pre packaged, processed stuff in these stores (but that’s Ontario for you).

Mircea Florea

I love that they have a great selection of international foods. The quality of produce, bakery and sweets is great.

Nazanin Mahdieh

Great selection of products. Always has great prices and friendly staff. Love this location.

Matthew Benoit

The products are extremely well-priced, employees are polite, and the produce is quite fresh. They price match pretty much everywhere. Over all, a great grocery shopping experience.

8 Second Ride

Clean and friendly. Prices are always good. Needs fresher vegetables.

Laura Wigelsworth

In general the store is more affordable than a lot of grocery store Chand, but first ding good produce here can be a challenge. It's often already applied or close too

Tiffany Gilliland

Staff are very nice...great customer service ????

Fred Svacina

...friendly, courteous, helpful and well stocked ????

Calin Alexander

Great in a pinch, the products are always fresher than most places nearby. They put this in a great location because there are no other good grocery stores nearby.

Kira Code

Nice place, have good prices out there now.

Jon Hines

Pretty good selection and generally good prices and quality. I don't like needing a quarter for a cart as often I don't have one and it is hard to get around with kids without a cart.

Ashley Demontigny

Had everything I went there for and was not very busy.

prathamesh naik

I would recommend this place specially for fresh vegetables & fruits and also for meat.

Noemi Dubon

They keep the store clean, stock up and staff are very friendly and helpful. You can find almost everything in here.

radha vemulapalli

All types of Fresh veggies are available

Ananthu K.S

Good grocery place, find pretty much everything here. Good price and good quality food. Can fond all sort of groceries here.

Timothy Class

Fair prices , good service, can get pretty busy.good I'd you pick off tes an morning.

Amber Szober

I go elsewhere for meat but produce quality is great. Consistently lower prices than competitors on all items.

Clariza Canton

Nice clean place for grocery

DK Roger

Saw staff use vulgar language with someone who was mask exempt. So much for being kind to everyone, guess that’s not the freshco way

Rehman Sherazi

Neat and clean with plenty of grocery in stock. Conveniently located with enough parking along several other shops and a gas station.

Deborah Huxted

The staff in the store are pretty good and friendly however the patrons seem to be pretty snooty. Which i find odd as they are shopping at a discount store just as i am... Remember we are Canadians and im sorry for this review but it has been this way for the past few visits.

Jayne Grove

We thought we'd give this FreshCo a try and we do like it but it is always really busy. Since we're of the older generation it moves a bit fast for us. But the quality and the staff are really good there.

Michael Bird

Best prices, excellent ethnic selections, best staff, best deals, never would go back to Z, S, FB..... can't afford them. 6 stars!

Amber Lane

Great prices, fresh fruit and veggies and huge international selection ????????✌????️

Montea Viv

Our family has been shopping at this location for last 17 years , Its is our favourite grocery store for the longest time, always experienced good service , however today we had to go through a very bad customer service . Ms. Sue was the cashier at the checkout this evening, We found her extremely unpleasant ,rude and racist. She chose not to greet us but happily greeted the person ahead of us, she did not bother to ask whether we needed any plastic bags. She hurried up on us and closed the till right after finishing with our transaction. Hope the Store Owner take a serious note of this and ensure that such obnoxious service is not repeated.

Norma Regacho

Great deals and nice and organized stocks.

Samuel Šporich

Has a nice variety of items, many interesting fruits and vegetables, and a nice vegan/vegetarian section.

Kim Broberg

I completely respect and understand the line ups necessary to get in and out of retail stores right now. I do the majority of my grocery shopping at Zehrs. They have a line up for express check out and a separate line up if you have more items. FreshCo does not offer this service, so I lined up for a very long time with the majority of the customers in front of me with full baskets. I had one item. It would have been faster for me to drive to Zehrs, which is a bit farther away.

Abdulkaiyum Shaikh (Ab)

One of the best place for grocery. Prices are affordable and yeah! You can always save some extra cash on most of the food items. It's my favourite go to store for grocery

Mike Cornell

Usually better than this morning. I specifically wanted avocados and they had 4 bags left and a few singles and all quality was poor.

Paige Duchesne

Great prices on food, selection is lower than Sobeys/Zehrs for anything not food.

Brent Triebe-Gravel

Reasonable pricing makes this place pretty busy most of the time. Wouldn't be my first choice for quality or selection out side of fresh produce. If affordability is what you are looking for its a good place to shop and there are some things, namely international foods, that can be found here and not elsewhere. If it's after 4 and before 7 during the week get ready to wait. No bagging staff makes for slow moving people.

John Doe

The best Freshco I've been to. Fresh produce, clean and a great selection.

Saul

Excellent food quality and amazing staff. With-out a doubt, this specific location for FreshCo franchise is one of the best places to shop for fresh vegetables and fruits. P.S.: if you have any comments and or concerns about the service or your not satisfied?! Simply ask for the manager Ms. Power as her costumer satisfaction skills and service is top notch ????

Anne-Marie SOUAN

Very disturbed by the fact that on May 12, at 6:30 pm customer entrance was not monitored and that no employee was cleaning the carts. Disappointed as Freshco is my regular grocery store and I enjoy the variety of vegetable and fruit. However I will not stand to be taken for granted in this volatile Covid 19 era and will avail myself of other shopping venues nearby.

Christine McEwen

Good location, good pricing (they price match), quality produce, and decent selection on other goods, including international items.

Amanda Hill

Produce supply is mediocre. Check expiry dates on food, they don't keep up with it well. I have purchased multiple items from here that were already expired or expired that day.

el danny carlito

Well stocked and organized. Noticed some new product. That's always exciting.

Raina Bernard

Incredible prices, a little difficult to navigate the layout

Rasoul Akhavan Mahdavi

Good quality compared to price. The only negative point is that it's a bit far.

Jamie H

The owner Myles was a nightmare to deal with. Very unprofessional. Childlike behaviour from a grown man

Kat Rogers-Hern

A well stocked location with friendly staff. I took off a star for the variable nature of the produce quality, but it certainly isn't enough to stop this from being my go-to spot for full shops.

Reza Razavian

Like to go there for grocery shopping. good selection, decent price.

Nick

Good prices with a great selection of international and foods. Would like to see more local grown variety though.

Andrew Hannaford

Very similar to NoFrills, just green instead of yellow. Selection wasn't very good but the sale prices were great.

Justin Tube

So bright and clean. I always walk away feeling like I got a great deal on my groceries.

Pooja Ganeshwala

Good price and international products are available, friendly staff, good bakery items

Rachael Morin

I've been shopping at this store for 10 year- since it was a Price Chopper in fact. And the people have always been wonderful. The produce clerks always greet me when I end up beside them (I spend most of my shopping time there being a vegetarian) and whenever I've asked for help finding something in the shelves the staff has been enthusiastic and quick to show me. The produce is fresh and lasts longer than it does from other grocery store competitors and at better prices. The cashiers are efficient and patience with my kids paying after they help load everything on the belt. I even once ended up forgetting a bag of groceries, went back to the store and they gave me everything I said I had forgot without question. Tonight was the only experience I've had there that's irked me. I purchased some arugula 2 days ago and it was supposed to be good for at least another 2 days past today, which was fine since planned on using it today. This morning when I went to make my lunch I opened the package and unfortunately it was all wilted and starting to get soggy. Naturally I took it back to the store when I had the chance. Sandra, the cashier was originally helpful and straightforward but when I can back with my replacement she told me that what I had brought back had salad dressing on it. No, it wasn't dressing it was decomposing greens. I told her that I didn't put anything on it and she just raised her eyebrows at me. I have never, in 10 years, returned something to the store and the one time I did with a product that had gone bad before the expiration date that's the treatment I got... I was incredibly disappointed when I usually have such great interactions with the staff. I know you probably get people who try to take advantage of the store but I am not one of them. I like going to the same place and having enjoyable visits. The store is 99% of the time great shop at. This one time won't sour me but I hope that Sandra shows me more respect in the future.

Bette j Harley

Competitive prices on fresh produce and meat and poultry specials.

Kamran Nishat

Lots of options for indian and Pakistani people. Lots of frozen desi food.

gerry clayfield

The people are nice very helpful in the prices are really good

Kassem Maksoud

Standard Fresco store, all varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables all kind of groceries at decently priced in addition to meet. Helpful and friendly staff and service.

Rémi Chris

The sales are always good, I'm just a bit saddened it seems they have discontinued stocking Jamaican items in the International aisle

Barry Pearlman

I like shopping there .clean.they are helpful And the prices are very good .so is the quality of the products are very good Ps. I live close.

Gregorio Garcia

Prices are somewhat misleading, advertised in lbs but charge in kg. Just do the math to know the real price you'll pay

A M

Very well stocked, but be prepared for long lines. They carry a good variety of stuff along with great international snacks and desserts to try. The staff however is absolutely phenomenal. A+ all the way. Over the years I have shopped a lot here and I have seen the staff members go way beyond their expected job to help customers. I highly recommend this location.

Anshul Jain

Stuff here seems so much fresher than walmart. Plus there is a lot of Indian selection too!

Elizabeth Loforte

My go to grocery store in the region. Good produce with great prices and they have a solid international selection compared with leading competitors in the area.

Jessica Carbone (Jess)

This store is my go to. Recently i had a very rude experience with a cashier and was pretty upset so i filled out the survey on the receipt. The owner called me the next day, she was very apologetic and just really great about the whole thing. I definitely will continue to shop there. I appreciate a business who takes the time to make sure every customer is satisfied. And they price match!

Kat S

Love this place! Cheaper than most grocery stores on most items. And the best place to buy bread they have a huge selection of the bedt bread and pastries for cheap ????????????

Hal Robins

Nice layout in this store.

Dee Kennedy

What can I say fresh produce great price's friendly staff

Vvv Ccc

They sell the best gluten free wraps I've ever bought. They're near the regular wraps in the store and they actually bend without breaking

Isaac Bergeron

Pretty average supermarket. Clean, staff tend to be friendly. Decent prices and quality. It can be busy during peak hours, but late weeknights will leave the store mostly empty for your shopping pleasure.

Derrick Ransom

Lots of great selection. Store was clean and friendly staff.

Yasir

Great prices fresh fruits vegetables and lot of hand slaughter Halal meat options here

Prarthana Thakkar

Favorite grocery store above all. Cheap price for vegetables. Can find ultimate variety in Indian stuff, more than Indian store.. lol

Arielle N

I like FreshCo for some of the exotic produce I can find there. I'd say my only problem is the quality of their produce almost every time I go in has been less than great. Seems no one is paying enough attention to them sometimes. Other than that it's an okay place to shop. Great location!

R C (DF Collectibles)

Good prices! But be prepared to bag your own groceries.

Emma Clare McGee

The store is well organized and the staff are helpful, however, when it comes to enforcing rules like one ways there is next to no follow through and results in crowded isles

Rachel Taylor Denison

An excellent grocery store! It has plenty on options for food and has a wide variety of international foods. Very economic pricing and friendly staff. I do my regular shopping here.

Cedar Thiessen

Thank you Cairo! This nice young gentleman in the produce section was extremely helpful, and talking to him honestly made my day. Cairo made my experience so much better, I would go back in a heart beat just because I was blown away by the helpful service that he gave me.

Chris R. Keller

Amazing customer services. The owner/manager of this store is excellent. Last time I was at the store he saw me approaching the check out and gave me coupons for the product I was buying to reduce my grocery bill. All around top notch.

Aimal Khan

Convenient location; carries most day to day stuff; affordable; friendly staff

Tim M

A good grocery store with very fair prices. Dry goods are almost always more affordable and the same quality as other stores. Busy plaza.

Arielle N

I like FreshCo for some of the exotic produce I can find there. I'd say my only problem is the quality of their produce almost every time I go in has been less than great. Seems no one is paying enough attention to them sometimes. Other than that it's an okay place to shop. Great location!

K Chow

Always friendly staff. Well stocked aisles. Clean and well lit store.

Jeffrey James

Pretty decent grocery store. They have a good selection.

Sheida M

The best balance of higher quality and lower price compared to other stores. Also, there is a lovely selection of international foods. Iranians and Middle Easterns: you can find plain/flavoured sugar cubes (cardamom/saffron/cinnamon), pomegranate paste, tiny raisins, and yogurt drink (dough/ayran flavoured with mint). People in love with Wasabi peas: you can find them here!

D Hausman

Low prices. Good place to stock up on loss-leader staples. Not much selection in FRESH seafood.

Nilam Savani

Great place to find everything. Most important thing is price. They are cheapest than all others. If you don’t have a time to compare the prices go to FreshCo only. For Indian people, you will find most of the Indian snacks here.

Shannan Peck

Cheap, and I only have to go to the specialty grocery store for oyster sauce and one type of vegetable. I can live off two weeks groceries easily here and pay less than 40 a pop.

Chandrasekar Rajaram

Fresh vegetables, fruits, kitchen groceries, bakery food, dairy products.... And many more in abundant variety, all neatly kept and labelled... great place to shop.

Sharon G Wilson BA FP

Good prices and wide range of products, clean, good parking lot.

Claudia Koppoe

Nice staff.. affordable prices. Can't complain.

Christian Monterroso

Great prices, good selection, OK produce. Bring your own bags. $25 rental for carts.

Kevin

This is a great little grocery store for quick needs and to get the basics. Only lost stars for variety (but it is a smaller store) and there does need to be more cashier's on for quicker service at busier times of day. Edit: I've now added a star as they complete their renovations. The store is now more open and easier to navigate. As well they now seem to have more staff on at busy times of day. Your shoppers appreciate the efforts being made. Now let's get that fifth star!

Sarah Hohner

Not my usual grocery store: I only go for good sales (plants and meat, in particular). I find the store layout tight and claustrophobic. Cashiers have always been friendly.

Dilpreet Kaur

Best for indian grocery and team is soo helping.

Dan Weber

Great prices. They do a great job on a variety of ethnic foods, too!

Adelio Pereira

Not too busy. Products on sale were available except for astro Balkan yogurt again!

Nathaneal Ogunode

If you are on a low budget, best place to get your groceries. Best price for food.

Guru Siva

Good price. Something similar to Sobeys. Some Indian vegetables also at fair price

Jonathan Suckert

Great prices, not sure why they let people with cart fulls bog up the express lane though. Makes getting a quick purchase not worth it.

Les Piotrowski

There's always a great deal at this supermarket.

Joseph Tu

It's a decent place to get stuff. Staff is friendly, but they kind of lack in fresh vegetables (this could be seasonal).

pooja mankani

I love FreshCo for it's canned and bottled items. They have some great saving offers on toiletries too but what really really puts me off is the quality of produce. On more than one occasion I have got a bag of carrots/apples etc and seen fruits that are.rotten and shouldn't be sold. Two weeks ago I bought a pack of chicken drumsticks and as soon as I opened the packet or stank of bad meat. I did take it back and the staff refunded my money but that's the last thing you want when you have a saucepan ready to cook dinner and your freshly purchased item let's you down. I will stick to buying salad dressings and canned items from FreshCo but not chicken and fruits for sure.

Kevin Sylvestre

Great cheap place to get groceries. Plenty of choice and all fresh. One of my favourite stores

Heather Graham

Great price on Sirloin Tip Roasts. Got three roasts for under $25.

nicole janssen

Their produce is great in comparison to the other frescos . But id like to see more employees on the floor to help shoppers like myself .

Barry Saetoen

The store is clean and organized however wait time to check out was a little long. Need more staff to work cashier positions on the weekends to speed up things up.

Debbie-Lee Gardner-Dickey

Great prices great selection of food great staff but the lineups are a little bit long.

Whats Zup

Produce selection and quality is terrible. On several occasions produce does not last more then 2 days or is not good enough to eat.

earthy205

Went in with my SDiT and the staff do not understand the AODA or even their rights as a company. Someone had mentioned that there was a ferret emotional support animal. Those things DO NOT exist in Ontario. Get your stupid rodent away from my food -_-"

Cathy Clarke

Freshco has done a remodel and I am not impressed. They have discontinued alot of products that I purchased weekly. I will be looking for a new store.

Jane Mitchell

Fresh baking and produce and great prices. Great variety of international foods. Hint: almost all supermarkets, if the sale item is gone you can ask for a rain check and get the sale price when shelves full again

Renee jeremike'a

The price is right on grocery Masi cho

Ted Ramsay

I shop there most of the time. Great prices and staff

George Shamoon

By-law 20-035: -'Employees should wear a face covering in the enclosed areas of their business/building that are open to the public' -'Face coverings are required in the following locations: Stores ' On multiple occurrences staff have been seen not wearing any face covering and not abiding by social distancing guidelines. Having customers witness these occurrences causes confusion and does not abide the face covering by-law for Region of Waterloo. For the safety of the community it would be appreciated if the owner could enforce this already mandatory by-law.

Tends to be crowded. Meat is over-priced compared to competition.

Samantha B

Prices are decent but the produce is questionable in regards to its freshness... Chicken was really fatty. They have some vegetarian stuff like Yves ground round which is good. Oh it's an awesome place to get cheap plants in the spring and they're amazing!!!!

Muhammad Ali Khan

Update #Jan #30 #2022 : name is Freshco, but selling and displaying all rotten green peppers, not a single one was fresh. pics attached. its today Jan 30, 2022. please avoid putting nom fresh items and if its there, then put in on 80% off. These are all garbage green peppers, how you guys even put on display! it's a shame, no one noticed! Reduced ⭐ star cheap prices.. more halal options.. no pharmacy not a good selection of frozen fresh items

Dylan Fishe

Amazing how much is there and ordered in proper format not like other stores with everything in the wrong section

Adam JR Pawlowicz

Clean and tidy. Well priced foods and they price match. Great place for groceries.

madison madison

Not always the best selection of different brands but friendly staff and good prices. Produce is is great 90% of the time. Store is clean and has a good lay out. Note there is no deli or bakery. They still have good deli and bakery products though.

김기주

A little good,but Asians food not good

Jeremy

3/4 of the grocery store is filled with "non-food food" items (food you shouldn't eat). The produce section has been good though, one of the better FreshCo stores.

Scootor Griffin

It was very, nice to find everything we needed. Our cashier even gave us a free bag to put our basil plant in so it woukdnt .

L Jewer

Keeping people social distanced, but they are not moving people very fast. Nice shopping experience overall. Helpful staff! In stock items.

Marcie Adams

Today I witnessed the owner of this store running the line wearing his facemask on his chin, not covering either his mouth or his nose. Another customer called him out on it and he rudely said it would "fog up his glasses" and continued to wear it wrong. I am so disgusted and will not shop here any more.

Helen Paret

Appalled at how little social distancing was actually taking place. Checkouts should not be running 3 people in rapid succession through while expecting customers to be packing their groceries at the same time. There was no break between customers and the cashiers didn't even attempt to pace the traffic to maintain the mandated social distancing. Very disturbing, particularly since this is (or was) my usual grocery store. Do better if you want to protect your customers!

Cathy v

Store is always very clean. Many student cashiers ...very polite and friendly. Good selection. Glad they r ecperimenting with some carts that do not need quarters. I understand that the quarter system is needed in an area close to so many schools.

Jason Burgess

Everything you need at great prices and quality is not spared. I seem to walk out with twice as much groceries in comparison for the same amount spent at one of the major grocers.

GAGANDEEP SINGH

REASONABLE PRICES, FRIENDLY STAFF, VALUE FOR MONEY.

Kathy Chiu

Things here are pretty fair price I would go here more often if I was close

Kasey Gambeta

Good selection, low prices. They have a great selection of natural foods.

Allison A.

Generally a good grocery store overall as far as selection, prices and quality. Most staff are pleasant with the exception of the woman with the head covering. Don't understand why some staff members accept online coupons without any …

N Morphet

My first visit,large selection,clean ,bright & lots of help

Kamaljit Sian

Best place to get almost everything at a decent price....especially fruits n vegetables

M.S.

Your organic milk does not have a price sign nor does it ring up at a sales price when on sale. Please fix this. It's happened a few times now. …

Snide Coren

After the rude discrimination by one of your employees(the cashier) over lying disability of not being able to wear a mask I and my family and community will he boycotting this location. …

Zach Dockstader

Usually has the best prices in the area for the places I've been to, but the layout is not very practical

Dan Deller

I personally love this location. The prices are hard to beat. At times quality in produce lacks but if you eat fresh, within a couple days, it's fine. I've often seen the store manager on the floor unpacking boxes. The store is clean. I drop by at least once to twice a week and while sometimes the lines can get long when everyone ends up at the cash together, it's nothing out of the ordinary compared to other grocery stores.

kaleb gump

It is a great place for groceries but most of the employees looked depressed

sandra helwig

Good produce but usually some out of stock. Good prices.

Sandra Knarr

Good place to go shopping have good deals

MORGAN MAILLOUX

Cheapest groceries around and great quality. Staff are very helpful, they will go out of their way to try and find something for you.

Denny Cybalski

Good prices and a good selection of international food items

Ali Guroluk

They usually have a decent selection of items and have improved over the years. I hope they can get to the level of selection of Zehrs one day.

Deep Desai

Have different types of ethnic foods, excellent food quality and fair prices. Smoothly following Covid regulations.

Debra Grenier

Omg just saw the type of employees you have been hiring..seems giving customers the finger is the "new normal? " sad day for a company that I had given my hard earned money to. Thank goodness for other stores

nighat noor

Every thing is fresh at freshco

Glen Black

Inexpensive fruit and vegetables. For prepared food, one brand or another always at a discount.

Ian Childs

Best to go early (before 930am), best choice of produce at that time and not so busy. At the busy times, expect a wait at check out. Staff is great.

Ahmed Amin

Fast checkouts, friendly staff, fresh vegetables almost Everytime I am there

Matt Webster

Nice store with a lot of options, one of the grocery stores I can always find soft corn tortillas when I have a hankering for mexican.

Matt Posella

My own personal hell. No flow whatsoever, just a giant free for all, they need more cashiers and higher quality of product. Id rather spend the extra money at zehrs.

Ali Chris

Good food. Look closely at produce before you buy. Decent prices. Lots of great sales. Clean and well kept. Recently renovated.

Amy Ludington

My favorite grocery store. The staff are amazing!

Mike Walloschek

Good prices,great selection,,plenty of parking

John C

I often frequent Freshco as it is very close to my home. Today I went in for the sale on steaks and the young man working was beyond helpful. Showed me where they were, advised me that if I wanted to take a look at some more he would pull some out of the back room - which he did. Also, helped me choose a few beauties. Your prices are quite good but believe me it is the customer service like this that will continue to make your store a success. Wish I got his name as he should know. Great Job!!

Adam

What I like the most about freshco is their competitive pricing

John Shahin

Organized, variety in goods, you'll surprise by finding things that can not be exist in this place, like eastern food. Welcoming crew.

Jason Carroll

Make sure u bring a quarter for cart deposit. Their bags are good and strong

Major Tom

The cashiers are very friendly and efficient. Always a positive experience

Preia Grant

Though FreshCo did not carry what I was looking for (USB-C charging cord), the employee was very helpful, which saved me a lot of time.

balu mistry

Good clean store

gaganbhandal19 Bhandal

Staff is very friendy.one of cashier who’s name jaspreet singh is very nice person.He is always treating to customer very politely.

Dawn Lubitz

Found everything I was looking for. Good prices!

Joanna

Cashier's don't help you bag your groceries. They just stand there staring at you... Not sure if it's a freshco thing, but it's awkward and rude. Lane 1 and 2 Monday Aug 2, 3pm.

Joseph Campos

Love the price matching they allow at this store. Makes my grocery shopping easier.

charity bell

The staff at this store totally ROCK!! From the guy in with the ponytail in produce to the awesome cashiers they are friendly, informed and outta this world.

Paresh Patel

I recently had a bad experience, the lunch mate was on sale and I went 4 consecutive days and the shelves were empty and it was full when the flyer date changed. Also some of the cashier are racist and they lack basic customer service. But few girls are decent and polite

Sagar Patel

Love their prices. Decent fresh produce as well!

Tim Romanski (Timr11)

Great location to get your groceries. Very similar to Sobeys but less expensive.

Steve Myrie

Quick late trip. Place was very clean despite the messy snow. Staff was courteous. In and out in a jiffy.

Inderjit Singh Bains

I love this place. Good service good prices.

Ed Grabasandwich

Low or reasonable prices but you need a quarter to get a shopping cart! You get the quarter back when you put the cart back.

Peter Lehman

They price match but I almost never need to. Prices are fantastic. Selection is great. Staff are really friendly. Rexall is right beside them. Make wise choices when leaving the parking lot. Worth the effort to exit onto Bridge St. if you want to get on the expressway. (Left turns onto University are not always safe.)

mikestmp

Best average prices in the area! Staff is friendly enough to help you out if you have a question, but not over zealous in their need to do so if you didn't ask. …

Charbel Esksndar

Products are displayed nice and the store very organized good and clean

Albert Gebara

There are a lot of products that you can't find at this place. So you're forced to go to a different store to accomplish your weekly shopping

M I

Keep marchandise in the same place. Relocating items from one shelf to the other make me wasting time to find them. So do not make me wasting my time. I know this is your "policy" to make me walking like a idiot to find my items,hoping i m gonna buy dog food even i do not have dogs !

shwetnisha kalekar

There is plenty of parking, fresh veggies and fruits at reasonable price. It also has good stock of South Asian ( Indian) grocery.

Deepa Balaji

It's a typical neighborhood grocery. Get a lot of Indian/South Asian stuff at reasonable price.

Betty Ann Hunt

This is my 'go to' grocery store. Realistic store size, while maintaining a good product selection. On occasion I do need to go to a larger franchise in order to purchase special/out of the ordinary items. It does not have a deli but they do have package deli meats. An enjoyable shopping experience for most of our grocery needs.

Miodrag Cvetanovic

Every time it's a good shopping here. Either it is ice cream, lamb shoulder chops, pork sausages, bologna, caned tuna, rennet, halva, peach halves, potato chips etc. that is on the half price reduction or so, but there was no single time that I left the store without satisfaction.

priyavadan dommati

Good place to find all the things at one place

Joanne Gooding

Very pleasant place to shop..found what iwas looking for with help of a lovely young lady..plus lots more!!

Robert Munden

Freshcogreat to go out enjoy shopping for groceries the store is nice place to love getting what I like to choose from nice people who always help you when neededthank yu

Stephen Weber

Pretty good selection and stock. Prices much better than other places.

Elizabeth Cunha

My go to grocery store for both personal shopping and for my little restaurant. Great prices, fresh products and helpful staff. Line ups to pay can get a bit confusing because somedays it's one line, other days choose your own lane.

Monika Wieder

Today May 1, 2021 I was in line to enter the store and I asked the person at the door why people were coming out and he didn't allowed people do go in. His answer was "too many people were already inside the store" that is already a violaton of the rules and" If I don't like it to go to another store"!

Dean Brooks

Very low prices and an extensive inventory of international foods.

Q & A

Huge line ups on Saturdays but they love fast. Probably worth the wait compared tonthe prices at zehrs

Robert Kruse

Good place to shop, great specials, more spacious feel after redesign of store. Ji

Mohmmad Darsot

Nice clean store, well organized and great layout. Employees are very helpful as well.

Maya Simmons

Winter weather resulted in shopping carts being frozen together. I asked an employee if there were any carts available inside and the store owner ran outside in a t-shirt right away to get a cart for me and my baby. What a great example for all employees.

Sonu Grewal

This is the food handing of FreshCo at university and bridge. Please be careful before buying anything, because they are not caring about it. I told to a employee their.

Christine McCullough

This particular Fresh Co. offers a wide variety of international foods, both packaged and frozen, and the prices are great. The major draw back is the produce section, which is small, often low in stock and not the greatest quality. (And remember to bring a quarter for the grocery cart!)

Kevin Mcginnis

very clean as always,very busy for long weekend rush,one of my favorite grocery stores

Tony S

Nice, organized, clean grocery store. Prices are good, and there's a decent selection of products. Parking lot seems a bit awkward, and sometimes it can be difficult to turn left on Bridge street.

Nrzan Daghouz

Not always fresh, and way too tiny, if it's a bit busy you feel like your in a soda can! food displayed beside detergents & no big detergent jugs! But good prices overall, but I will go to superstore for better selection and even prices

Frank

The teller told me no towels to clean the desks.

Henry S

Most of the cashiers at this location are incredibly rude and have no sense of customer service. They barely greet you, are easily irritated and have no problem expressing it.

Kristopher Brazier

very clean store and friendly staff.
