I started shopping at this location of No Frills on an occasional basis early in 2019 but following…read morethe onset of the Pandemic in March 2020 I began coming more frequently; usually once a week but sometimes I'll skip a week. No Frills appears much cleaner, brighter and thereby more welcoming compared to it's previous appearance, which is going back many years. The large store features a wide variety of food and other products on offer and I can't complain about the prices, and even less so about the frequent sales on quite a few items that I buy on a regular basis. I'm quite impressed by No Frills' efforts at maintaining a safe environment in which to shop in light of COVID: a quoue to enter due to a max. no. of Customers allowed inside at one time, directional stickers on the floor, plexiglass at the checkout counters and of course hand sanitizers at the main entrance/exit and mask requirements for Staff and Customers. I fully intend to continue shopping at this location on a regular basis.

Another Canadian grocery store. This one was pretty nice…read morebut a little more expensive on some items. We just bought pop & snacks for our video game night. The employees were a lot nicer here than at Metro, which is where we usually go for groceries. For some reason, I can't seem to remember very much about this store, except the pop was expensive. I know it was a decent store, but my memory is failing me.

This FreshCo used to be a Sobeys -- Markham's only Sobeys. Well over a decade ago, I used to shop…read moreat this Sobeys often. I loved it. The store was open 24 hours a day and had everything that I wanted. It shut down. I was sad. I sought other places to get groceries. The hours were the best. I remember shopping here after the company Christmas party at around 1 am. I was the fanciest person wearing a chiffon skirt, shiny blouse, and a long coat in the store. I also pumped gas in that outfit afterwards. Ah, memories. Anyway, I don't shop at FreshCo often. There's one on my old route from the office in Etobicoke that I'd drop by once in a blue moon. A few weeks ago, just before Easter, I decided to check this FreshCo location out. I'm glad that I did. I am so used to getting a cart without requiring a coin deposit that I was shocked to see that you needed a quarter to unlock it. I don't carry change with me during this pandemic. Luckily, there was a nice man with a plastic green tool that simulated a coin. He inserted it into the coin slot of my cart and it was unlocked from the one ahead of mine. Yay! Such an angel. I thanked him and carried on. The produce is in pretty decent shape here. The celery and melons looked fresh and pristine. I got a bag of avocados that were perfect. I also got carrots, mushrooms, and onions. I was happy. The bread section is also great. Cinnabon and Sun-Maid breads were there. I liked the brioche baguettes that looked fancy. My main reason for dropping by this store was for a couple of items to make my Easter meal: stuffing and a turkey. The best prices were at FreshCo and both were in stock. I love Stove Top stuffing. It's a great supermarket shortcut. I aad finely chopped mushrooms, onions, and celery to it. I love it so much that it disappears fast. At the beginning of this pandemic, only huge turkeys were available, and I'm not talking about some of my colleagues. I'm glad that 5 to 7 kg turkeys are available these days. It's plenty for me and my parents to devour. I got a Butterball and was happy. After getting my main list of items done, it was time to check out the rest of the supermarket. The frozen foods are impressive. I have never seen so many variations of Jamaican patties, including vegan ones. I bought a box of baked beef ones and they were yummy. The other highlight was the assortment of paratha and naan available. I stood in front of this fridge section for the longest time trying to decide which flavour I wanted. I settled for the onion paratha. As an aside, they pan-fry nicely and quickly. They are flaky and so good. I came back recently and got a box of empanadas. They were excellent, too. Both times, I had no difficulties at the checkout. Both women helping me out were nice. I tapped with my debit card and my groceries were all mine. You do need to either bring your own bags or get a free box from the pile before you exit the store. I had bags during my first visit. I had a handful of items during my second visit, so I carried them to my car and put them in a reusable bag. I like this FreshCo. It's clean. Prices are cheap. The quality is decent. The only weird thing is the quarter deposit to get a cart. I need to find one of those coin contraptions that the nice man had. There was plenty of parking both times that I was there. I backed into my spots both times. I'll be back. I'll likely try every paratha and patty flavour that this store offers. (150)

It is bigger than other stores I have been to and has a great selection of pantry and frozen items. Especially in a smaller community it's so great to have this, as sometimes in larger centres you have to visit a specialty store and it's much more expensive. Also I LOVE that there is a beer and wine section right in the store! And it's actually pretty extensive, single beers, and cider. 6 packs and some larger ones. So convenient, you don't have to go to a second store!

I parked close to the main entrance and walked in. I do miss having a Sobeys in Markham. This one is large and had everything that I needed. The produce section was great. I needed cucumbers and gone a couple that were on sale. This store has a lot of pre-cut fruit if you are looking for a supermarket shortcut or just don't feel like cutting fruit. With barbeque season being here, there were inflatable ketchup and mayo in front of their respective product displays. I liked the inflatables so much. If they were for sale, I'd probably get them because they looked cool. This place has heat-and-eat quiche and empanadas. I loved looking at this section so much, from meatballs, to rotisserie chicken. The dessert section was deadly. There were lots of whole cakes available. You can also get single slices. The cupcakes looked yummy, too. I got a dozen eggs. I enjoyed the dairy section. The product that opened my eyes wide was Silk whipped cream. I have found that you can get a dairy-free version, but it has sugar in it, or you get one with no sugar, but the dairy is there. This Silk product made me happy. It was both sugar-free and dairy-free. Yay! Each Sobeys is different. This place had kombucha and bubble tea in bottles. I was intrigued with the latter. I'll need to give it a try next time. This store had everything that I needed and more that I wanted! Luckily, I had some self-control during this visit. I got a nice woman who helped me at the cashout area. I had my Air Miles card scanned. I then paid with a debit card. All was great. I loved shopping here. I hope to return when I'm back in the area. (210)

I used to work near Mount Pleasant and Eglinton in Toronto. I'd often swing by the Sobeys there. I then got laid off. One of my choices is to go to this Sobeys Extra in Aurora. I decided to drop by one Saturday. I parked in the lot. It was odd that there was a concrete island that separated a single row of spots on one side and a ton of spots that you'd expect on the other. It was different. I was just pleased to park somewhere. I love this store. It's nicely organized. The fruits and vegetables section looks inviting and healthy. I particularly liked the natural source section. It has a ton of dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan food options. I don't know much about cauliflower pizza, but I was happy with the varieties available. This place has empanadas! I love them so much. Yum! You can grab a number of take-and-eat items if you are either hungry and need nourishment fast, or want to bring something for lunch to work the following day and not make your meal. I also enjoyed all the pepperoni products from Noah Martin in St. Jacobs. I bought a pepperoni stick to try out and chomp on as I drove home. It was delicious. I need to come back and get more. Customer service was friendly. I didn't have to wait. I put my items on the conveyor belt, paid, and left with my groceries. Don't forget to swipe your Air Miles card here. The cashier let me know how much I could redeem, which was nice. Prices seem about the same as what you'd expect at Longo's. Some items are even cheaper. It's all about product variety for me and this grocery store has what I need. I definitely will. (291)

Look out Whole Foods. Sobeys is not letting you into Canada without a specialty food and gourmet…read moregrub fight - and us consumers are going to be the sole benefactor of this new next level battle of the grocery giants with Jaime Oliver leading the charge for Sobeys! The new Sobeys 'extra' concept is a total revamp, with a focus on specialty items and giving each item or genre of food on your grocery list it's own spot in the sun. This ain't your florescent lit-aisle after aisle- "discount on fish fingers in aisle 3"- grocery store anymore, it's a living breathing market filled with warm colours, soft lighting, expert displays and specialty EVERYTHING! Every aspect of the store has a tactile market feel that brings you in, gets you interacting with the store, it's shelves, displays and various specialty counters. Like the market your grandparents would have gone to, you'd interact and inspect each item before you purchase it. It's no different here. Except, Sobeys wants you to interact with the store itself. For example, sectioning off the dairy items into individual glass door-ed refrigerators which look slick and well polished - asking to be opened so you can grab your pick from behind it. The flow of the store begs to be shopped, there is no more walking up and down aisles, in Sobeys 'extra' you're led to the next item on your list in a natural flow as you would at a Sunday farmers market. Why have one counter for all deli when you can break it down into specialty counters, one for cheese and gourmet crackers, and one for deli meats. You can say goodbye to Starbucks, Tim Hortons and McDonalds in stores because at S.e. they're roasting their own beans in store in front of your eyes before they make you your cup of coffee! Amazing! I also eluded earlier that Jamie Oliver has his stamp all over this place as Sobeys new spokesperson. You see his books, his gourmet items and recommendations everywhere, as if he was some sort of Grocery Dictator. Hail Leader! *Salutes with organic carrot* These are a new breed of concept store and thus not everywhere, BUT, if you have a chance to visit Aurora (just off Hwy 404), north of Bayview and Wellington. I recommend that you do - It will blow your mind!

As of late, I have been enjoying getting groceries at FreshCo. Lately, I have been taking in movies…read moreon Saturdays at the SilverCity in Richmond Hill. Before heading over there, I like to get most of my errands out of the way, which includes getting groceries. The closest FreshCo by the movie theatre is this one on Major MacKenzie Drive, just west of Leslie Street. Why do I like this store? - You can earn Scene points on everything - Prices are decent, especially if you are targetting sales every week - The produce is fresh The only thing that can be tricky is that you do need a quarter to use the cart. I sometimes have change. I sometimes don't have any. I have had a quarter once out of my two times shpping here. I ended up using a basket when I didn't have any change, which was fine. I only needed a few items. The produce is excellent. I had the best strawberries here. They were ripe and in pristine condition. The celery was in great condition too. The apples in bags are also competitively priced and are yummy. The only downside that I saw were eggs in cartons. Many of them were broken. I don't know if it's due to customers or if the eggs were broken in the first place. It was a bit of a downer trying to find a decent dozen. I was unsuccessful and ended up getting a carton at Shoppers Drug Mart. I like the frozen food section. The more carbs involved, the more interest I have. I have had the paratha stuffed with potatoes and plain ones. Both heated up so nicely in a hot skillet. I've also had garlic naan, which was perfectly yummy. I've had the pork and chive potstickers. They were excellent, too. I've seen steamed buns that I'd like to try next. Prices seem to hold for weeks. The Pillsbury Pizza Pops have been at $3 for a box of four when you buy three boxes. You save practically two dollars per box and take advantage of getting the Old El Paso beef and cheese taco, which is excellent. It was this price both times that I was there. I hope that the deal is still around. The cereal aisle is cool. I have seen everything from strawberry milkshake Frosted Flakes, to Cinnamon Toast Crunch Minis. I like variety and seeing what sugary flavours are out there. I've had friendly cashiers at this grocery store. Getting my Scene barcode on my phone scanned has never been an issue. I've also paid with a credit card both times. Easy peasy. It's a clean supermarket. The parking lot does get a bit busy, but I've always been able to find parking. (202)

I always see night staff going into the store. It's closed to shoppers like me. A few Saturdays ago, I was running errands. I had a late lunch at McDonald's and then got groceries at Fresh Co. Parking was busy. I parked roughly two rows away from the entrance. I walked in and grabbed a cart. I like this supermarket. It had everything that I needed. The produce was fresh. I was pleased with the celery, avocados, and apples that I had picked up. There was a sale on all things Pillsbury. The crescent rolls were cheaper here than at Walmart. I was impressed. This store has a nice assortment of jaffa cakes. I remember learning about them on Sesame Street as a kid. I was happy sinking my teeth into my first orange one years later. This store made me so happy seeing them in orange, cherry, and blackcurrant. The frozen food section is amazing. Momos. Potstickers. Samosas. Pillsbury Pizza Pops. Naan. Drumsticks. Beer. I was so happy. I felt like I had won the food jackpot. What was sad was seeing how many cracked eggs were in cartons. It makes me wonder how they got to this state. I ended up passing on eggs here and hit Shoppers Drug Mart instead. Other than not putting a bunch of Humpty Dumpty eggs back together, I loved shopping here. I had a pleasant woman at the checkout. I got my Scene card scanned to earn points. I then paid with a credit card. Done! I bagged everything. I thanked her and left with my groceries. After putting them away in my car, I returned my shopping cart and left. It was nice to finally visit this grocery store. I look forward to shopping here again when it's daylight and I'm in the area.
