Food Basics - St. Catharines

Well kept store, friendly, helpful staff. Have sale items in at great prices!

Old review: Switched to shopping here recently, very good prices.Edit: The quality of this store has fallen a bit. Never any carts or baskets available to use cause they're so backed up on collecting them from the returns, items completely unstocked and some items that i usually buy here look like they've been completely removed from the shelves. Spent way longer then needed in here aswell due to employees talking to eachother in the middle of aisles as if they're arent other people trying to get around.

Great products at a really great price. Stuff disappears too quickly when they have a sale. They have really good selection and carry wider selection than the more expensive stores. It’s the only place in town where I could find red sweet potato with white inside! Good prices on staples and with the new grocery prices we are literally surviving because of this store.

I can 't say enough about Craig (one of the store Managers) and how they, as a company) dealt with an incident at Food Basics Feneva St.. I had $40.00 taken from a self-serve terminal unknowingly. I called later that evening when I realized something was wrong with my bill. I had hit the incorrect button. Instead of debit, I hit debit with cash back. The woman who took the money asked if I paid by cash instead of informing me that my money was in the terminal. Craig listened and took the matter to the Store Manager, and they kindly returned the money to me due to my honest mistake, as well as watching her take my money on camera . They didn 't have to do that, but their consideration has won me over. I got everything I needed and can 't say enough about Craig 's integrity!!! Thank you, Food Basics Fairview Mall for looking out for your customers!!!?

Always out of everything. Even if you go early in the morning shelves are not stocked. Staff are nice and you can get some pretty decent deals if you can find what you're looking for. Way too many trips to this store and walked out empty-handed.
