Reviews of Sobeys Uptown Centre (Fruit Store)

Lynn Stevens

The new store is beautiful. It has an old school feel to it and is also very modern. A lot of great options for grab and go food. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well!

Jackie Ferguson

My only complaint is the price they want for a little roast...lol

J. Leger

I can hardly wait for the new store. Always friendly and helpful staff.

George Stavinski

Can be rather pricy, but there are some good deals to be found here.

Peter Keddy

Had everything I wanted. Was only here for a quick trip so I don't have much else to say.

Angelica D.

Usually fairly decent. Unfortunately the last two packages of hamburger I've bought there have been disgusting, and not edible.

Don Booth

Usually decent prices, shopping late at night is great if you don't like crowds.

Brian Macdonald

A bright and well designed store where you don't have to walk miles to find what you need!

John S

Good Sobeys and food selection, busy at times. Pretty much lost interest after they stopped the 24/7 hours, Oromocto location is quieter.

Mimi B

Ok i used to enjoy going into this particular sobeys store but on my there one employee made my visit completely uneasy first off accusing me of pocketing or stealing whenever i paid for everything that i got. Yes the items that started off in my cart changed i can change my mind since everything is so expensive everyone has to pinch as much as we can. Not every person is a thief not everyone has to steal. Every time I doubt it that my social anxiety is going to disappear any time soo. That is for sure

Claudine Sullivan

First time walking in there was a bit overwhelming, it took quite a while to find what I was looking for but after some exploring the aisles seemed straightforward. The only major confusion I had was the check outs. I was looking for an express lane since all I had was bandaids but was ushered to the grocery line where people with carts of groceries were lined up. Wish it was more clearly labeled where to go. But next time I know. Edit: I can understand a bad first encounter but a second just makes it a pattern. It seems everytime I go to this location an employee is being terrible. Really makes me want to avoid this place because the employees I have encountered here always make the experience a terrible one so far.

Aliaa Afify

It's a beautiful supermarket with high quality products and a little bit expensive.

Robert Ross

My wife shopped at this location on Tuesday morning (Senior courtesy hour). I waited in our car. Upon entering the store the shopping carts were carefully sanitized by friendly staff who gave a cart to each customer as they entered. Hand sanitizer was also provided Distancing and directional travel arrows were marked and maintained.My wife returned with groceries along with several compliments which I will share. She noted that staff were wearing gloves and were careful to clean the checkout belts after each customer along with changing their gloves each time. The cashiers were protected behind plexiglas shields as well. Health safety was obviously a major concern and was much appreciated by both of us.

Katherine M

Nice and clean. Has a variety of gluten, and dairy free options. Also have delicious fresh ready made food. Overall a very nice upgrade I love Sobeys extra.

Andrew Grothe

Love the new store, great new gluten free options

Steven Douglass

It's very cramped, hard to navigate the aisles. Don't think I'll head back, i don't need extra challenges when shopping with children.

Mamdouh Mohamed

There were a great offers today !!

Duncan Greene

Its Sobeys, it's a nice Sobeys, big and clean, but still a Sobeys. Nothing wrong with that, just a supermarket.

Sea Chief

Very nice store with great selection of product. I really like the deli sandwiches.

theguythatcan49

This new store is very well organized , once you get a feel for the floor plan shopping is quick and easy . This store is open 24 hrs a day ,which for a small town is very convenient.

Cynthia

They have thing's that the Superstore never seems to restock since Covid.I try to be loyal to one store but now I just come here.Staff knows where things are as well and there are allways Staff present so you don't have to go looking for a Staff member.I love that!!

Blaine Macisaac

Great staff and great selection of food and items that you need day to day.

Malcolm Elliott

Miss the 24 hour

Ben Craig

Has more variety than super store and Walmart but costs are higher.

M.

Before having my son I would shop here for most of my groceries. Since my husband works out of town I decided to stop there today with my little one to restock my fridge. Unfortunately, I couldn't get all I needed as I had no way to juggle a cart and baby at once. This store doesn't have carts with a carseat type thing to put babies in who arent' yet old enough to sit up on their own. My only option was to use the stroller and a basket (not enough space for a full grocery order. Needless to say I could only grab the necessities (eggs, milk, bread, and a couple veggies) and left. I will now be doing my shopping at Super Store as they have carts for infants and as an added bonus, parking for parents with infants under 6months.

Frederick Chase

Support local even though the truth is that the Superstore had a much wider selection.

Jennifer Wiseman

Very clean and well laid out

Emma

Clean and organized, and a good simple layout if you're just running in to pick up something quick (premade lunches counter and bottled drinks right between front door and cashiers). A good location and open 24h.

Tracy Seper

This is a beautiful Grocery and more store. The newest in Canada I think. Nice Deli. The butcher shop has a glassed in meat ager. Selection in all departments is excellent. Self-serve checkouts, florist, pharmacy, wines, and a lot more.

Frank W. McLaughlin

Good experience but too expensive on most items.

Sin Semilla

Nothing special but, good employees (Old store review) NEW spot is great, best selection I have ever seen for anything you can almost want food related. Strongly recommend a couple trips through before giving a comment/review.

Wade Hudson

Friendly staff and quality food. Always a reliable place for grocery shopping.

Gavin Phillips (The Zen of Gavin)

Open 24/7 Need a say more. Sure I guess, the over night staff is (430AM) professional and ready to serve with a smile.

Eric Kunstadt

Great selection and very fresh food ❤

Jennifer Murray

It is my preferred Sobeys location in Fredericton. They seem to have the best lay out, and stock. Typically between Costco and Sobeys uptown we get everything we need for our family of 6. No small feat.

ItzOrange

The new store is awesome! Very nice product selection!

Stamatia Baker

The new, expanded location (in the space formerly occupied by Target and, before that, Zellers) is beautiful. I was a little overwhelmed! I have to say though, as impressed as I was by the fact that there's a whole gluten-free section (seriously), I was disappointed that they didn't take the opportunity to expand their international section - they have more of what they had before (Indian, Thai, Chinese, etc.) but there was no Middle Eastern food, for example. I assume it's to avoid directly competing with Scoop and Save, which is just down the street, so I won't sock them points for that! EDIT: the aisles in the centre are noticeably narrower than in the old store, and that is not a compliment...

Jen Peddle

Worst grocery store I have ever been to. I have been there three times and had problems with staff every single time. Last time I went an employee stopped his pallet of pop too quickly and three cases fell off. My husband felt badly and went over and help him put back on, his response was "I said I didn't need help, but I guess I did" very rude. The first time I found mould on the blueberries, gave them to an employee and he snatched them from me and said nothing. The second time we got into an argument with a lady working there for being rude while we were trying to get by her and four other employees blocking the isle. Also waited about 10 mins at the bakery counter trying to get mini cheesecakes for my kids with lots of people working but no one would help us. Only plus is the car carts, my kids loved those but I will not ever be going back. Super disappointed, as it is a very nice store with good product. Terrible staff.

David Olive

Friendly staff and fair prices on excellent selections. Looking forward to the new store.

Greg Pallen

always clean and well stocked. friendly staff.

Stephany Smith-Golding

I like this place. It's in a good location not far from my house. In which it's in walking distance

Odd Fetishes

Great store, I love their staff.

Jacob Victor

Customers can't follow arrows and staff don't enforce it well enough.

Alieopal

Open 24/7 expect holidays. Great staff. Even in the middle of the night. They are friendly and helpful.

Ray Nay

Good selection. Courteous staff,but be prepared to pay for that kind of treatment

Taylor Seely

Parking lot sucks but the staff is friendly and there is good selection

Keith Stiles

Nice clean store in a good location. Not a big fan of their meat or produce, but the staff are very nice.

Daniel Paull

First time visiting this store, have to say it was the cleanest most well organized grocery store in Fredericton. That's not to say the other stores are bad. But that this store is just better. I am sure it helps that it is clearly a newer store but overall its that little bit "extra".

Mallory Bulmer

Love the new facility. Great make your own salad bar.

The Rev. Stratton Phillips

This is a very clean and organized location with a great selection of products.

ClaireKitty5

Nice and bright. Love the new layout compared to the sobeys downtown.

Annie Reade

Clean and tidy shop. Very helpful and polite staff. Had a great experience shopping here as everyone went out of their way to help me find things during my first time at this store. Lots of variety in the produce. Fresh and nicely displayed.

Je Joo

This was sobey is great but staff is not friendly at all

Allil L

Horrible new store. Isles are too small to move around in. Only picked up a few things and then left everything there. I couldn't get out of an isle for 15 minutes. Wish they never moved. I always went to them when It was in the other building. Wont be going to sobeys again though.

benjamin mcfarlane

The presence of food and absence of minotaur at this labyrinth make it truly one of the most enjoyable mazes!

Jonathan Millar

Nice new store but service is terrible. Every time I would like some of the new fresh prepared items nobody is around and I wait 5-10 minutes just to order. The attached photo was from one of these times, about 8 minutes into the wait...

Trent Smith

It's an old staple when it comes to fredericton, lots of parking is available and they're one of the few 24/7 stores available (with the exception of holidays of course).

Corey Etheridge

Cashier was gentle on fruit while bagging, checked eggs and other items at checkout to make sure they were good.

Colin Steeves

Low sensory shopping in Sunday nights is great.

Joel Landry

Great grocery store, has a large selection of foods, and great hours.

Pearl Ravenwich

The new building is beautiful and clean-looking. It takes some getting used to the way the store is organized--I wouldn't have done it that way myself, but it is what it is. They have self-checkouts now (which take cash!) and the location is so much more convenient--reflected in the fact the store is busier than ever. I think they have more free samples, if I'm not mistaken. All in all, I'm much more inclined to shop there now.

Sheryl Doiron-Powers

Store always clean and well organized. Staff are helpful and friendly.

J.W Deveaux

I love that this place is open 24/7. Sometimes you just want Covered Bridge - Weekender chips at 4am. Don't judge me.

Cube Stevens

great new store.and as always best baked bread around.

Logan Coffill

The 48 day (maybe it's 54 day?) dry aged steak is amazing!

Mrs.Sathy True

Delayed and then rude customer service at Bakery. I left with out purchasing items. Spoke to Manager who verbally apologized. Thank you. Good thing there are alternative and stellar bakeries in Fredericton to shop at instead who offer excellent Customer appreciation even after mistakes are made. I'm ok with mistakes or bad days, but how it's rectified is what will stand out.

Melissa McGraw

Always a friendly welcome!

Arash Ahmadi

Easy access store which is open 24/7. It's very useful to have such store in this small town.

Donald Bennett

Great shopping experience. Love the wide aisles.

Brad Detchevery

I find it very hard to find products with this layout. However, if you look at it as an adventure in the urban jungle it can be kind of fun ????

lilkikay (Lilkikay)

Disappointed and rather annoyed with staff(?) at this Sobeys in particular. Last Friday before shopping I tried making my way to the bathroom, only to get hassled/approached by a random man (who I saw chatting with another man and Sobeys employee prior). He asked where I was going after my sister and I went through and empty check out lane to get to the washroom. Note we only went that way because the (clearly dressed) Sobeys employee and those men were chatting and blocking that path. I told him we were going to the washroom and gestured toward the sign/door. Like "that's where it is right?". When we were done I noticed they pushed a little chip display in the way we went through before. I was so annoyed by the encounter I decided I didn't want to shop at the location anymore. It's one thing if the female Sobey's employee had something to say to me, but these two men were in regular clothes? So why is it their business where I am going????

Paul Lindsey

Large, clean store with wide aisles. Prepared food section is expansive and they also have a large bakery too. Service is slow however as even though there were a lot of cashiers working all of the available lines had at minute wait.

Paul Juhnke

Really liking Fredericton's newest Sobey's location - interesting store layout, good selection, and nice to see department's staffed during evenings/weekends and lots of staff to provide assistance.

Michael McDonald

It could be because I work at the superstore, but I still don't like the new store. It is small and very disorganized. I don't like how they have the Express lanes, then u-scan, then the regular lanes. Its weird how they have seafood in the produce department, and it is hard to find the meat and bakery all together. They just seem to have everything squished together. Other than that the employees are very friendly.

Melanie Ouellette

Love sobeys

Adrienne

Friendly workers, reasonable selection of fresh goods, could use some more international selection especially Asian ingredients, but you can't beat 24/7!

Cindy Bee

Great grocery store. If you are used to layouts of other big chain grocery stores, this one will throw you. The layout is different but it has lots of variety and the selection of prepared ready to eat meals is quite large if you are looking for a quick lunch! They also have little kid carts!

Jeff Shanks

New store is nice, but aisles are too narrow and the flow is not customer friendly.

Lorne Amos

Great hours and prices.....especially like their buy local policies

Black Rose

The only thing is no longer that Sobeys it is not been evaluated by food. Strawberries and Apples it are because is not been to the buttered bread.

Ed Ashton

The strangest laid out Sobeys I have ever been to, difficult to find anything. I avoid it when at all possible.

Erica Currie-Fraser

Really nicely place. Payout is confusing at first but lots of helpful people. Love the salad bar!

Leonid Chukhovsky

Everything u expect, great service

Robin Crawford

Very clean store there wasn't boxes and carts in the isles. Friendly staff!!

Julie Wyrwas

Always great staff and experience

Theresa Cox

The staff is very helpful and friendly. I find the prices a bit high, but I find nice sales sometimes.

Ann Harriman

Make sure you have your bags they do have brown paper bag for 10 cents.

Duane Collicott

I really enjoy shopping here!

John Macnaughton

I find this store utterly unnavigatable. I can't find anything. We used to like the fried chicken more than KFC, but since the move to the new store, it's been sub par. I've also have got to wonder why when they were building a new store, they didn't make it so they could do a pickup business.

Sam Westfield

Great staff, very helpful. Good selection and descent prices, just like any other sobeys

Nick Boyko

Good service, and excellent selection. Haven't been unable to find what I'm looking for yet. Good sales too.

Mike Ou

Offer free WiFi, it is very nice!

Eddie Crompton

I love the flow if thiS store very nice shopping experrinece

Adam Jones

Lots of selection. Even found things I wasn't looking for.

avard cameron

People not following rules,going wrong way in isles, prices have really gone up,when you are one fixed income, you look for cheap meals

EJ

There is way better alternatives to this grocery store in the area. Victory Meat Market being the best, but I still have to go to that Sobeys since they have the best grapefruit juice.

Margaret Laking

Big store with some big prices to match. Did find a few sales but not on what I buy regularly. Much prefer Wal-Mart.

Maxime Thibodeau

Open 24/7 is great. The staff is knowledgeable about the local products (ie Honey, Oysters, Blueberries). Both the daytime employees and the night staff are very helpful and welcoming.

reta macntosh

Always very satisfied and they have an awesome lady front-end manager.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Angela Carson

Like shopping here. Good selection.isles well marked re items. Cashiers friendly.

mr Woohoo

Used to be 24 hr but changed long before covid, I have personally caught dozens if not hundreds of falsely advertised and priced items, male cashiers are terrible people and rude, caught one talking bad about me as I was leaving store he lied when confronted pretended he didn't say anything but I knew, anyway I'd suggest shopping elsewhere but your call

DealsNotLimited USA

One of the Best Store in Town for Grocery. Why 4 Star ??? Cost $$$$ to do shopping here :( But But But...Love this Place.

Adam Conrad

A nice gentleman in the fruit section helped me find my list of fresh produce.

Emily Franklin

The layout is a bit confusing but the service is great in all departments and it has one of the best pharmacies in the city.

Kam Halfpenny

Excellent supermarket although the shelves were sparse of product

Thomas Pratt

Beautiful new Sobeys Extra & friendly service.

Archonstix

The store is clean with a large selection, and everything is well placed/easy to find.

Dylan B

Hours are not good. Definitely needs improvement ASAP. I Lived here some time ago and the store never closed.

jarred lawson

Everyone is always great here! I love shopping here. It is pretty much the only place I get groceries!

T MacFadzen

Best place to get groceries in Freddy

Jim Drover

Too much prepared foods and small aisles in grocery area. And high prices.

matthew connor

Good selection of pretty much everything with the exception of international foods.

Jesse Saindon

Very friendly staff and nice clean new store, but the aisles in the new store are way too narrow. It's like the grocery store version of trying to get to a middle seat in a crowded theatre.

Emily Blanchard

I want to be clear that this store is not actually bad... It's quite good. I am leaving two stars because they have continuously modified their hours for the worse, making life here more difficult.

Sara Perry

Wide aisles and clean store

Kimberly Babineau

This is my go to place for groceries and prescriptions.. the staff members are very accomadating

Angela Demers

A great store for all your grocery needs fresh produce and the bakery is awesome. Always a large selection of everything. Staff make you feel welcome.

2384095 Asdw

Despite the high demand for products, Sobeys is doing well to keep shelves as stocked as they can.

Tyler P

Amazing grocery store.

Jason Hebert

Busy place,not enough cashes open for a quick lunch. No microwave in the the seating area to heat up you lunch like most other locations.

C. Howland

I have been there a few times at this new location and I still cannot find my way around. The layout is backward or something. I forget things every time I am there. Also, several things that I buy most every time I am there, are no longer carried I guess. The biggest one being Tropicana Grape Juice. The one thing that keeps me coming back is their signature Butter Crust Bread.

Alicia Schroeder

Literally the most unorganized Sobeys I've ever been in. The signs for the aisles make absolutely no sense and the items that would make sense to have close to one another are in sections that make no sense at all. You spend 10x the time in this store just looking for things which obviously isn't ideal but especially during this virus.

clead1000

Prices can be a bit higher than other grocery places in Fredericton: Walmart, Costco and Superstore.

Franz Ruberl

Would have given it 3 stars, but they decided to not carry certified humane meet anymore. The layout is poorly designed.

Brent

Like the layout of the store and despite being busy it didn't feel cramped

Jeremy Brewster

Nice store a little bit confusing with the layout if you shop at Sobeys on Regent

Korneel Luth

Great store, but not as 24/7 as advertised or as shown on google maps. On some holidays they’re simply closed.

Bertina Donahue

The new store is flashy, but not all that easy to get around and is kind of confusing.

Terrie Evans

Really disappointed. Took my mother shopping here today. No social distancing. Employees and clients not following arrows in the aisles. Noticed one employee not even bothering to wear his mask as he walked the opposite way in the isle towards my senior mother who has COPD. I understand that we are lucky to have very few active cases however, this can change with stupidity. Will choose to shop at Superstore and Walmart who care enough about their clients safety.

Brad Harris

At 6 PM on a Saturday, nearly all flyer items are sold out, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, Ruffles lightly salted potato chips, Tostitos hint of lime, and many others.

Pam John

Was really busy and line up was very long. Super staff directing the line up made the line move very quickly. Well done

Brad Little

24 hours, so that's good. What can I say, it's a grocery store. Sometimes has good 2 for 1 weeks. Check your flyer.

Cust Omer

The store has smelled of sulphur strongly for two weeks and in inquiring I got no answers as to what caused it. Would have potentially felt better with answers. The store is putrid and needs to be dealt with, not ignored and cast aside. Switching to a Superstore now.

Amy Seymour

The last time my husband and I were there we were treated poorly by a cashier. I get it was later and she might have been tired but she was so rude. The gentleman behind us put his basket on the belt and she let out an obnoxious sigh and slammed the divider down. When I paid, she ignored to give me my receipt until I asked for it which she then snapped it off the machine and practically threw it at me. My husband and I just kind of looked at each other and didn't say anything..... Remember, we pay YOUR wadges!!! We will not be back!

J M

Well stocked shelves. They have alcohol! Yippe! Friendly staff

Kaylie Burke

I mean...it's a grocery store. The new exterior is beautiful and modern, and it appears the produce/meat sections have been remodelled as well. However the centre of the store is clearly filled with the old racks from the previous store which makes it look dated in comparison to the rest. As an actual store it is great. I have not noticed the issues with produce that I have seen in the store on regent, and the staff is great.

Melanie Kesterson

Wonderful friendly staff. One even looked in the back and found an item that was out on the self!! Most important was a cart that accommodated my son. He finds walking in the store difficult and its to big for the usual seats for kids.

Candice Budd

Wow. What a selection... only down side is that it takes me forever to find stuff cause the store is so massive. I like that they offer paper bags for 10 cents. Staff was nice:)

William Manuel

Very nice store, good location,. always stocked, aisles nice and wide, friendly staff, could use a bit more parking

David Champagne

Great place to shop. Prices are somewhat higher than need as pricing fluctuations are seemingly a daily occurrence. Many cannot afford to shop there my

Thomas Hong

It is my favourite supermarket.But I really wish that it was still open 24hr,like the old location down the street was for decades.Made plenty of late night and early morning trips to that Sobeys back in the day.

Roger Ploude

I have always appreciated the service at Sobey's, highlighted by the unfailingly friendly and helpful staff in all areas. The prices seem to be on the rise of late, owing I suspect to forces beyond the store's control. That said, I still think the friendly and welcoming staff makes shopping at the store the positive experience it is!

Dekota Fletcher

Good place to get groceries. Attached to a good liquor store as well.

Jhoni D

Disappointed by the continued unreasonable hours. Was really hoping these limited hours would be resolved by now because I often work all day and get off at 10 (which is closing time since Covid started). I'm left with no time to buy groceries in this city. Other than that the stores not bad.

Mrs Smith

To Sobeys, I no longer feel safe in your store since you changed your check-outs back to the old ways. As long as we are still in a global pandemic, businesses should be still doing what they can to limit the spread which you are no longer doing to product our vonurable citizens, not your bottom line.

noah smith

Excellent service, wide variety of different products. Wine tastings are to die for

rick jenkins

Great store good prices has everything I'm looking at

Nick Walsh

Apparantly "Open 24 hours all year" does not include new years ever at 6:30. That big 24 hours sticker feels real bad at a time like this.

Greg Fidler

Great prices and friendly staff that get to know you. I prefer this location to others when it comes to getting groceries.

Zoë Martin

Great store...I work here occasionally as a guest promoting Air Miles and in talking to customers they like this store and are excited about the new opening of their bigger store location to happen later this month. I am sure that will be very successful ????
