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)

Generally I find FreshCo the best discount grocery store…read more Their produce and fruit is much better than big box grocery store. This location has parking, but I find the lot a bit awkward. Cars always seem to be blocking another car's ability to turn. They sometimes have someone at door to disinfect carts, but lately that hasn't happened. I just do it myself as the disinfectant and towel is at entrance. Most checkout clerks can do the price matching now. Not all knew how to do it well but I haven't had issues lately.

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)

QUEEN & GLADSTONE -- Mediocrity seems good enough for this…read morestore's manager. I just returned to the Gladstone/Queen FreshCo to return the Piller's Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich packets I bought yesterday. My daughter noticed it was slimy and smelled bad when she opened it. The best before expiry date was September 28, 2023--3-1/2 weeks past due. I returned it and spoke with the manager who inspected my sales receipt from yesterday, October 22, 2023. He didn't say much other than I should exchange it at the checkout. I asked how this happens and he said the part time staff probably missed it. I went to get a replacement and found ANOTHER EXPIRED packet from September 28! When I showed it to him he shrugged and said the dates are actually suggestions. I raised my voice when I assured him the meat was slimy and smelled bad and he was minimizing a problem. It was a health concern. He asked me to leave.

Terrible customer service. I was looking for a specific type of bread (Stonemill Bakehouse's '21…read moreGrains'). I called ahead and asked to speak to bakery and then if they could confirm that was in stock, the person on the line said they knew that specific type of bread and confirmed it was in stock. I asked them to ensure it was '21 grains' as they have flavors like multigran, 3-grain, 11-grain and 12-grain which can be confusing if you do a quick look-bye. They reiterated they have '21 grains' so I said I'd be coming from far away, do they have alot in stock and I was assured yes there was alot. I trekked half an hour through a winter storm to get there, only to find out they had zero in stock. Thanks for the time wasted!
