Best grocery store in town, good selection friendly staff, and generally well stocked. This store has the best selection in town of vegetarian and vegan items as well. The staff actively consult with people in the community as to what they want to see on the shelves. You don't see enough of this!

It’s a beautiful gourmet supermarket where you can find all your essentials. Starbucks inside is a big plus and they have a big flower selection as well.

Only one check out clerk and high prices. I'll be heading back to save on where at least the feed seems less expensive.

I'd say this is the least busy of all grocery stores in Fort McMurray, which is why I prefer to shop here. Not the cheapest, but worth it for the peaceful shopping experience.

Safeway has always been a place that prides itself on quality and service.

Good selection

Justyn Baljer

Good customer service

Norma Eline Cordeiro de Oliveira

Great bakery and a very good selection of produce

Walter Ticas

Good sandwiches, great service:)

Char Tates

Would be nice if they didn't block the exit doors with product. I've even spoken to some of the staff and they just acted like it was all good. If there is ever a fire or other emergency and the lights go out, you would have to trip over cases of pop to find the exit door. Not cool. Other than that, nice store, a little pricey compared to superstore but it's not nearly as busy.

Keng Hian Lim

Good for using cash instead of cards

tough one

Borrey Kim

I am totally disappointed in your inability to keep anyone that's not a senior out of your store from 7- 8 am. There's a reason that this policy was put in place. Check with other cities.They do not allow these people in. Today there were more young people in the store than old. Shame on them and you.

Louay Maghrby

First grocery store to open after the 2016 Horse River Fire.

Gene

Nice.it also has a relax place to eat and drink coffee watching front view

Glen Trafford

No plastic bags sucks a lot.

John Parsons

Pricey but good selection

Brandon Price

Fairly standard safeway. Staff was helpful, but they don't have the power carts I've come to expect at most Safeway's.

Jaisoun

Store was clean and well stocked but disappointed with produce finding higher prices for turning produce is not good example cauliflower section was full but all were starting to mold

Sharon Calahaisen

Not the best. Guys standing around very few customers no one bagging I asked for help bagging over 350-00 of groceries response not my job and just stood there watching

Jason Taite

Cindy and her team at the Flower Department are simply outstanding. The arrangements they create are beautiful and they where able to accommodate all my request in the time requested. For all your flowers needs, any occasions, I HIGHLY recommend Cindy and her team at the Safeway in Fort McMurray.

Scott Kerr

Needs a face lift and better lighting, staff are helpful and engaged.

C DUB

Tidy and well managed grocery store.

William Proulx

The produce here isn't always the greatest, a lot of the times the fruit is either way under or over ripe. The meat section and deli are pretty standard, no complaints there. Customer service is hit or miss, it seems like they never have enough cashiers working.

Robert Melvin

Good food, great service

Jill Micheals

I think this Safeway is currently down for renovations. It seemed like only the pharmacy was open when I arrived. I didnt bother going in to check

Louis Theoret

Affordable and quaint, very nice workers who will help you out at a moments notice. I always love shopping here and they very seldom are missing anything on my list! Feels a lot more family oriented than some of the other giant super stores. It has a more personal touch.

Dave Yayechnick

Its nice in there reminds me of the old safeway in thickwood.

Greg Fediuk

Very clean and nice

Shelves are nearly bare! Didn't know the store was closing, and would have gone somewhere else if I had known. Confusing messages posted on the front entrance... Is this a permanent closure, or just temporary for renovations?

A nice Safeway. A bit slow on customer service, waited for a bit while staff looked on. Delivery man had to go track someone down to help us.

christopher pord

Visited the store today to pick up an order for a food hamper project. People were eager to help.

daniel Worku

Great donuts.

Hamzah Abbas

Air Miles from the pharmacy on the before health insurance cost and good produce section. It would be nice if there was a wider range of apple varieties when they are available at Sobeys. Not that I should eat cereal but the Sally's cereals are so delicious and I have only seen them at Safeway.

Not the best prices in town. I spotted frozen bread defrosting on the shelf. Maybe not kept in warm storage? Frozen bread goes stale faster. Aisle layout is confusing. Intentionally I imagine.

Pat Jones

Great selection of fresh fruit and veggies Lots of items, plenty of free parking

Noman Udoy

I bought a Panini and a bowl of soup. Had to wait half an hour for the soup and the Panini was like two pieces of bread with some stuff chucked in it. The staff were polite but hapless.
