“This store is so amazing. You can get all your groceries items under one roof. Owner & the co-workers are so friendly, they always offer free drinks to the drivers who are delivering freight. Me as a delivery driver i love to go there.”
“Love my local Foodland…. It has a family store feel with familiar staff who smile when you visit and say hello! My only pullback is that its selection is not as broad as a Sobeys or Superstore. It has a small vegetable and meat selection. But it has the big essentials and at decent prices. It’s sort of tucked out of sight but it’s well worth a trip! Check out their online app too it’s really helpful. PLUS there is in store wi-fi which makes accessing the app much easier (metal frame and roof has poor cell reception so this is mega handy!”
“i would like to thank the younger girl that helped me the other night. I was shopping there on Saturday and lost one glove that i had just purchased two days before. I think her name was sabrina. I stated that i lost my glove and she also took her time and took my name and phone number and genuinely seemed concerned. She called me later in the evening that she had my glove.( I couldnt believe it.) This girl had personality plus and i think one of the staff member had found my glove. Great customer service.”
“Wednesday 26 August 2026 2:15pm - Today, a large summer storm with high winds, thunder and lightening, and hail plummeted Sobeys into darkness when the power went out in the downtown Charlottetown area. As customers cut their shopping short and took what they had in their carts to the cash, the interac machines stopped working, as did the only ATM in the store. In the midst of what would have otherwise been chaos, every employee in the store, regardless of assigned department and responsibility, came together as one and handled the situation calmly with courtesy, professionalism, efficiency, and humor. Each employee went above and beyond to provide excellence in customer service, and did everything they could for their valued customers given what little resources they had available to them during the power outage. Special thanks go to my cashier, the amazing Sandeep, and to the always gracious Marilyn as well. I would like to give a very special shout-out to the incredible young lady named Linda, Front End Manager, who single handedly demonstrated to me what east coast hospitality really means, who personifies the true meaning of dedication, commitment, and excellence in customer service and community spirit that Sobeys stands for, and who eliminated any doubt in my mind that the move from Toronto to Charlottetown was the right one! To management and staff of Sobeys 400 University Avenue, thank you all so much for your warmth and kindness, and congratulations on a job VERY well done! Sincerely, Jon ❤”

To help you visualize what that means, imagine a virtual mall packed with bright colors, wacky landscapes, and cartoon avatars wandering around. Realm lets you browse "digital doubles" of real Walmart products by navigating through several make-believe worlds. "We believe this is the future of commerce," said Justin Breton, who leads brand experiences at Walmart. "It won't replace our website or app, but will complement them."
