As part of Sobeys Inc.’s plan to win market share and grow our business in Western Canada, we are announcing three new FreshCo locations in Alberta.
Closing for renovation August 28, 2021 and re-opening as FreshCo in Winter 2021/2022
- Safeway Downtown Fort McMurray, Fort McMurray, AB
Closing for renovation October 2, 2021 and re-opening as FreshCo in Spring 2022
- Safeway Jasper Gates, Edmonton, AB
- Sobeys Lewis Estates, Edmonton, AB
The Pharmacy Departments will remain open during the remodel and banner conversion and the fuel station in Fort McMurray will convert to a Fast Fuel and the kiosk to a Needs. The location will remain open and continue to operate during the construction process to ensure there is no disruption in service.
Our full-service grocery stores are an important part of our customer offer and a valued part of our business. By expanding our store network to include full-service Safeway stores, as well as additional discount FreshCo stores, we are better equipped to win market share by having customers shop with our company rather than discount competitors.
We will be working closely with impacted teammates and the respective unions in the coming weeks to ensure the terms of their collective agreements are met and to provide support through this transition.
We are sincerely grateful for our teammates’ commitment and dedicated service to Safeway.
