Cheese Please

[TenPenny]

I believe it's an Eastern-based chain (Ontario or Quebec) that doesn't find its way into BC...

Ontario? Quebec????

Sobeys is based in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.

1300 stores, in all 10 provinces.

By the way, Sobeys bought up Thrifty stores in BC.

lol.. fair enough. Sobey's is a grocery chain, perhaps it's Albertan, not Canadian. I fail to keep them all straight (due to lack of giving a **** on a normal day... lol).

Sobey's are all over Ontario. Here on the Island, Thrifty Stores are now owned by Sobey's but still carry the name Thrifty's. Very expensive stores to shop in. Thrifty's I mean. I don't know about an actual Sobey's store.
As for numerous kinds of cheeses, the deli dept. in Save On Foods (Overwaitea/Price Smart) and they carry so many different kinds I couldn't begin to name them. I never pay attention to the kinds that come through the till because for the most part - I don't care what they are. I do know they aren't cheap.

Seems especially appropriate.......comic relief from this serious subject.

OOPS! Now I stand corrected. I had never seen a Sobey's in BC, but I don't get out much... Thanks for the clarification. :smile:

Today (for an appetizer) I broiled mushroom caps stuffed with smoked mozzarella. Yum!

Sobey's started in Stellarton NS. Frank Sobey had a meat shop, and turned it into a grocery store, then he turned it into a franchise. It's been moving west ever since, though I seem to remember not seeing any in BC last time I was there, 2008. They own a whole bunch of companies now.

And you're right about their cheese selection. Much better than Superstores selection.
