Reviews of Sobeys Parry Sound (Fruit Store)

Maureen Skrtich

Great selection and very fresh produce. Staff is very friendly and helpful!

Alex Reinhart

The posh grocery store, compared to No Frills. Frankly, I don't understand why you would shop here, instead of No Frills, especially when the latter has PC products... But it's conveniently located it you just want to pop in off the highway.

Somewhat pricy, generic and sale items are often out of stock, but generally a wide selection of regular branded groceries. Baked goods, wine, beer and cider are also sold in store many are available refrigerated.

1 star for staff, 5 stars for products. The lack of mental capacity in regards to some of the staff members, is astonishing. I've had multiple encounters with cashiers who were confused about various things related to their jobs, including double scanning an item and then proceeding to try taking original said item completely out of my groceries and not giving it back? I paid for 2, but still want the one I paid for, so just subtract the second one off my bill? Having to explain this to the cashier repeatedly was brutal lol, they were unable to comprehend.(This happened twice with 2 different cashiers) I also had an issue with a cashier thinking I wasn't waiting in the line, absurd! I had been waiting in the line, along with the rest of the customers for awhile, until 2 tills became available, one being hers. I proceeded to it, and she acted as if I appeared out of nowhere? Telling me that I need to go wait in a line? That's where I just came from! The long line in the store! While you were busy scanning people's groceries unaware of who was even in the large lineup. You should probably do your job, and mind your own business when you have no leg to stand on, as you couldn't even visually see the line. Said cashier causes customers unnecessary grief, and needs to learn better communication skills in regards to others. It's completely unacceptable for anyone to have to receive such a poor attitude from a staff member. You probably shouldn't be working in the public sector! You are also not any type of dictator and have no right to even become aggressive or hostile with no legitimate reason. You might want to seek therapy! Management needs to train the cashiers better in regards to customer interactions, as some of your staff are not representing your store very well, heads up! You also need more staff at the tills instead of wandering the floors. The large line ups are ridiculous and people standing around in close proximity to eachother for long periods of time isn't doing anybody any good during this current time. Walmart was heaven compared to here! Signed, unimpressed.

Everything you could need. Huge store with large selection! Very helpful and kind staff.

Erin Jade

Well organized in here with a great selection of items and friendly staff. A bit on the pricier side though. Cash register line up was a bit backed up but the cashier got through it pretty quickly.

Anna Rose

Clean facility. Friendly staff, easy to find what your looking for, but the checkout wasn't well run. They only had 2 registers open, and probably around 20 people in line waiting. The person running the cash was also filling bags so ot was quite a long wait

Jess Harrold

Prices are high and at times the selection of fresh fruit and vegetables is extremely poor, but they do have alot of products I can't find anywhere else. Most of the staff is friendly. The dictator of the checkout line ups needs to chill out.

Rodney Simone

We were looking for a particular item and there wasn't any to be found by a certain company. Two other items were out of stock. No black Cherry pop at all.

Stephen Ball

Solid grocery store with good selection and friendly staff!

Nick Scullion

Lots of cashiers at the check out even tho it was extremely busy I was In and out pretty quickly

Linda Sullivan

Good products, but on Monday morning, manager/staff not doing much to ensure shoppers follow social distancing and face mask wearing protocols. Either Rotary or other service group volunteers were constantly running back and forth, not respecting social distancing and not caring. One rule for them, one for everyone else? And they were allowing customers to return their cart to the main store site, not wiped down.

John Hildebrandt

Great choices! If you're someone who is vegan, plant based, or vegetarian there are so many options to choose from here, was surprised honestly.

Christopher Hughes

I like the selection but seems expensive for items.... staff are friendly.

Guy outside collecting the carts was questioning my service dog. Guy had no sense of the laws and was trying to argue with me. Told him he had a problem, have your store manager see me and walked by him. Wasn't impressed.

Belinda

This location has great staff, and a good fresh selection of fresh local fish, produce, and other items. Even on the busy days the staff is friendly and helpful. It is a bit pricey, but you do get good quality.

Jarrett Bobbett

By 430pm the hot counter food section was completely empty / ransacked everything was on its last portion well before dinner time. No express lane I only bought two items was in line with people buying many many more. No no baskets only carts.

Heather Drury

Just don't go in there on a Friday in July unless you literally want to wait for 4 hours to check out with lines wrapping around the store.

Leslie Tabobondung

Sobey's staff are helpful & resourceful. Meats & produce are delicious. Christmas products are festive ????

Lynn Manning

Went in to pick up a quick lunch; great selection of pre-made sandwiches.

Lorraina Nicola

For one they have raised their prices significantly. Half the essential items you can’t get. If it is a sale item, you must go immediately the first day or its gone. I can not afford a 50$ roast or 25$ chicken. Prices for the locals, unless it’s a sale are exorbitant. Do something Sobeys. I believe every one needs to have access to decent food, just not double the price.

Jae Beausoleil

Extremely busy but seem to handle the long line ups with ease. Prices are comparable to other food outlets in Parry Sound. In convenient location just off the highway, close to other retailers. Easy to access

Lola Marjanovic

Operator 125 August 3rd, 6:00pm...lazy, uninterested cashier. Had us pack our own groceries, because she just couldn't be bothered. Awesome service...going to Loblaws.

Brian Tandy

Expensive, compared to other grocery stores but great selection.

Juanita McCabe

Found staff to be rather rude. Prices like this for a small town store are outrageous. Seem to be far higher since new management took over. Toilets in the women's washroom are constantly broken. I much prefer shopping at No Frills!! Will not be shopping in this over priced crowded and understaffed store again!!

Rachel Kuhn

This is a nice grocery store. It was clean except the women's bathroom was broken. They had a large selection of baked goods, treats, meat and cheese. They also had the best beer selection that I found in town. They had plenty of fresh vegetables and sweets too.

Ridiculous customer service!!! Deli counter couldn’t tell me whether fish was wild or farmed and refused to give me an answer. How am I supposed to know the quality of the product I’m buying?

Colton Johnstone

Employees watched me walk around trying to figure out where something was when they could have said one sentence to help me.

Larry Brock

Everything was great , good selection of food products and helpful staff , prices could be a little lower though .

Brad Boltan

Beautiful store. Well stocked, always clean, friendly staff especially the cashier's but with the exorbitant pricing it is well out of the average day to day consumer.
