Safeway In Stony Plain, AB is better stocked than all the rest, I have found. My only complaint is that since they have done away with the discount card, telling us that everyone now gets the discount, the prices have gone up to where they were before in relation to all other stores - so I want my card back! lol - But this is a global issue.
Stony Plain store staff are helpful, available, personable, and courteous I have found. I have shopped there for 25 years without any negative incident. The store layout is easy to manage. I have found that the florist will put together blooms in an arrangement for me, with a nominal extra fee. However, I admit the service is not quite like in a florist shop, though prices are similar.
When I have a large shop, invariably, if I've chosen to go to Superstore or Walmart instead for the price difference, I always end up back at Safeway to get those things the other two stores did not have (out of stock), and the Spruce Grove store is not quite as reliable as the Stony Plain store for me. Also Stony Plain store has the gas bar - very convenient. I have been warned that the gas will be "cut" whatever that means, because it's bought from Shell etc., but I have found no difference in the gas consumption or running of the car. Pharmacists here are top notch as well.
Overall, this store offers a warm and comforting atmosphere for me. read more
