Food Basics Pharmacy is a convenient and affordable option for health and grocery needs. Customers appreciate the friendly and knowledgeable pharmacy staff who are happy to answer health questions and provide various services for families. The store is organized and easy to shop, offering good deals and a wide selection, often at lower prices than other stores like Zehrs, Loblaws, or Walmart. However, shoppers have noted issues with expired food, such as pear fruit cups from July, so it’s recommended to check items carefully. The store sometimes faces empty shelves, and staff knowledge about customer service varies, with some feeling that previous management provided better service. Despite these concerns, many customers find the staff helpful and friendly, with positive interactions. The store lacks a deli counter but offers self-checkouts and a generally good shopping experience, especially for those seeking lower prices and convenience.
Cleanest, largest and nicest food basics around. Good selection at good prices.

The pharmacist here is very knowledgeable and kind. He was very helpful and friendly. He explained things very well and provided alternative options to help me save some money vs buying the name brand meds that the doctor prescribed. I come here for all my medications. The prices are great. Excellent service every time.
