New FreshCo getting closer to opening in Vernon

Groceries have been a hot commodity of late, which is why there is even more anticipation for Vernon’s newest grocery store to open.

Sobeys is converting the former Safeway on 30th Avenue into a FreshCo, a discount banner of the Canadian owned-company.

The company is not ready to announce an opening date at this point.

“Our new FreshCo store is scheduled to open in late spring and we’re happy to circle back with you with additional details once available,” said Zakiah Lalani, with Sobeys media relations

Vernon Matters also inquired if the staff has been hired for the Vernon store which the spokesperson did not respond to.

A job fair was held by Sobeys for the Vernon store earlier this year.

FreshCo got its start in 2010 and now has over 100 stores across Canada.

The company cites a commitment to provide the best discount grocery shopping experience by offering quality fresh food at low prices and with less compromise.
