Today, Sobeys Inc. announced the decision to close three Safeway locations in Manitoba and convert them to FreshCo stores. In addition, Sobeys Inc. will reopen one previously closed Safeway location as a FreshCo store.
The following locations will reopen as FreshCo stores in Spring 2021
Our customers’ needs are changing, and they’ve told us that they’re looking for more discount shopping options. By expanding our store network to include full-service Safeway stores, as well as additional discount FreshCo stores, we’re better equipped to meet our customers’ diverse needs.
We will be working closely with impacted employees and the union in the coming weeks to ensure the terms of all collective agreement are met. We will be entering the collective agreement specified process soon.
Pharmacies at these Safeway locations will remain open throughout the closures, renovations and FreshCo re-openings.
