For the Safeway Pharmacy: Absolute amazing service, professionalism and care. I am on vacation here for 1 week and was in need of a prescription, the pharmacist prescribed it for me immediately and it was ready within 20 minutes. After I picked it up, I wanted to have the prescription changed to a different medication and he did it no problem while we were still in the store. I am very thankful for their kindness and flexibility, it made a difference in my trip here in Canada and saved me a lot of headache and pain. read more

The local HEB equivalent in Canmore. Same items as the locations in Calgary and pricing and selection looks to be similar / the same. Good spot to stock up if you're visiting the area to avoid eating out for each meal. read more

Safeway - Grocery Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

Came to get our groceries for our week stay at an air bnb. Able to fleet our Asian spices and fresh produce.

Grocery did the job on stocking up on produce. The location takes Scene points - but entering your scene number can be numbing - - because of the number of digits. Self check out is available and there is mountain view from the entrance of the store. Plenty of parking spots! read more

During my short stay in Canmore, my friends and I visited this Safeway at least 4 times...we became a little obsessed. The parking lot view is absolutely breathtaking. You're completely surrounded by big beautiful mountains the minute you pull up and things just get better from here. This Safeway has anything you could ever want. Canadian candy, American candy, groceries, a water refill station, maple syrup and more. We met the nicest cashier who was practically our tour guide and gave us a fantastic hiking itinerary. Need Canadian money? Look no further because there's an atm here! I did a lot of amazing things while I'm Canada, but Safeway made it happen by providing fresh water, snacks, mountain views and great company along the way. read more

Normal Safeway. Just had better stuff than Safeway in the USA. Very clean and nice people.

Safeway Canmore - Unethical and unprofessional conduct! June 22, 2024 Lea from Customer Services refused at first to hand me my IPhone 15. I forgot my phone at the blood pressure monitor near the pharmacy. I traced my phone through Apple/Customer Services and its location was in front of the Safeway. Lea claimed that she searched everywhere and it is not there, even though the location from Apple is clearly stating the phone was there. Eventually, we said we will call Apple Support to validate our statement. Less than a minute, she gave me my phone. I'm of the view that this matter is serious and concerning. No organization should encourage such inappropriate behaviour at the risk of the Canadian public. read more

It was a nice clean well-organized supermarket. I stopped in here to buy some drinking water during my trip out to Banff. It was easy to find what I was looking for and the prices were reasonable. The cashier was nice and friendly. There were ample parking spaces outside. I would have no problems shopping here again. read more

I'm not sure I've ever given a grocery store a 5-star rating, but this one surely deserves it! Great selection - the layout of the store is just as you find them across the border. I had previously never seen a Safeway in Canada and was unsure what products would be the same and what would be different. Having been to Canadian chain grocery stores from BC to ON, I had a good idea of what I was looking for. I was on my way back to WA and needed breakfast type snacks. At the deli section I found scallion pancakes (a Taiwanese breakfast delight!) and in the yogurt section not far away I found my absolute favorite yogurts in this world: Liberte fruit and grain yogurts! They had several different types of Libertes, which hail from Montreal (of course) and where other shops have stopped stocking the fruit and grain version of this, they had a an excellent selection and I really had to be discerning (TSA won't allow yogurt through the checkpoint). If I had my way I'd be bringing a case of these home with me. read more

Some brief points to note about this Safeway--it does not have the plethora of bulk bins that Save On Foods next door boasts. Also, the produce on the several trips that I made there seemed extremely sub-par--expensive and not uniformly fresh, with yellowing leaves, etc. I know that it's hard to keep a well-stocked produce aisle in middle of mountain country, but the representation here wasn't palatable. On the plus side, in general Canadian Safeways seem to do a good job of stocking British products from the Tesco line and other brands such as Cadbury's (cookies, crackers, canned goods, etc). read more

Safeway - These leeks are not fresh - Grocery Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

We have been here almost everyday to get a custom sandwich before going hiking. They have a great selection of meats and do a grilled panini if you want. The person behind the counter, U with a Z, is super efficient. I'd hire her for any customer service point! read more

Good selection of items as usual, each aisle is clearly signed so I know where items are just by scanning the signs quickly, and there's a fresh seafood counter as well as a fresh bakery. Self-checkout is available here and makes the process faster too. read more

Pretty good selection of items, unfortunately all over super overpriced. They didn't have enough checkout lanes open so it took longer to checkout than to shop. read more

Very standard fare for a Safeway/Von's. Not sure what the other reviewer is talking about. This Safeway is way bigger and better than the IGA in Banff. IGA in Banff is more of a typical grocery store in a resort area, carrying just a enough for the typical tourist with packaged greens, etc. This Safeway has a huge deli and plenty more to select from. Very organized, We are staying in Banff for a week and needed more for breakfast fixings and a few dinners in. We are in a condo and having 3 meals out every day gets old for the family! We are truly enjoying our meals out - no complaints about the restaurants. read more

Came here late around 10pm one day and it was ok...just a standard Safeway. I then went back on a Thursday around 8PM grabbed my stuff and headed to checkout and found a huge line of about 20 people waiting for self checkout, that line went all the way to the start of the deli section for reference. There were 2 regular checkouts open but they had just as many people waiting. Decided to give up and headed to Save on Foods. Was actually glad I went there. They had a great selections of items and it was kind of fun to see different items. To be fair their prices did not seem as good as Safeway on average but they had lots of sale items that even it out. Worst experience at a Safeway ever. Actually at any grocery store for that matter. read more

Watch the sale signs (on the floor it may show a sale price but at the till you may be charged full price) and expiry dates. Cannot trust what this store advertises or sells. Buyer beware. Quite deplorable considering people are struggling financially and have basic needs....LIKE FOOD!! read more

I don't get too excited about grocery stores, but this Safeway bakery had a tray of mini old fashioned donuts - 14 to be exact. I am going to haunt my local Safeway bakery to see if they can make these. Waaayy better than Timmy Horton. read more

A great store. We needed supplies for our day trips (lunch meat, cheese, fruits, etc.) and it was the best store we encountered for this type of thing in Canada. Side note, the corn on the cob was incredible. We went back for more. read more

There is a general lack of focus on customer service at this store. Long lines at checkout stands is common. The checkers are slow, lacking an urgency that affects the customers. Our checker didn't know how to properly pack the bag. She mixed products that should never be bagged together. I repacked the bags myself. Shelves are often not stocked well enough. In the deli we went to buy a Dagwood sandwich which is usually in the case. There weren't any more in the case. The deli employee told us she could make us one but we'd have to wait 20 minutes. She had to finish something else first. That is evidence of a lack of focus on the customers needs that permeates throughout store. read more

We shop at alot of safeway and this one needs help. Make the effort and go to safeway banff or the other store east of safeway canmore. Poor customer service, lots of unfilled drink frigs. The toilet, yes, just one. After we could not locate what we wanted, we ventured to the other grocery store near by and it was soooooo much better than safeway. What a shock. Think safeway canmore needs a thorough review by upper management. read more
