About Food Basics
Food Basics on Princess Street offers a good shopping experience with a well-stocked store and wide aisles. Customers appreciate the helpful staff and decent prices, especially on specials, which often remain available even close to their expiration. Although parking seems plentiful, congestion at the entrance and online pickup spots can be an issue. Some shoppers are not fans of self-checkouts due to the need for assistance, and there are complaints about stickers on products. Overall, it is seen as a better option than the smaller RioCan location, attracting a mature clientele in a busy area with convenient traffic light access.

Parking g is not great, although it looks like there are lots of spots. Too congested in the front door & location of online pickup orders, only 2 spots are usually taken by in person shoppers who do not read the signs.

The Food Basics on Princess Street is far better than the new location at the RioCan (the latter is too small with less on offer). A mature clientele for the most part.

Good deals & wonderful staff. Not crazy about self-checkouts as someone always seems to need assistance & the poor cashier is run ragged.
