We are continually evaluating our store networks to ensure that we have the right stores in the right markets to meet the needs of the communities that we serve. Today, Sobeys Inc. announced two new FreshCo locations in Western Canada – one location in Saskatchewan and one in Alberta.
Opening in Summer 2021:
Opening in Winter 2021/2022:
The Saskatchewan location is an existing Sobeys store in Regina and starting February 2021, it will temporarily close for renovations and re-open as FreshCo. The Alberta FreshCo store announced today is a new build construction site located in Grande Prairie, in the Cobblestone community.
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’re better equipped to meet our customers’ diverse needs.
We will be working closely with impacted employees in Regina and their union in the coming weeks to provide support through this transition.
