Is FreshCo hiring and how do I apply?
We are always on the lookout for talented individuals to join our team. You can find opportunities and apply online for positions at our stores and corporate offices here. We also encourage you to visit your local FreshCo store and speak to the Store Owner/Operator about what positions they may have available.
Can I buy gift cards?
Yes, FreshCo is happy to offer gift cards in amounts between $5 to $500.
How can I request donations for a community event?
Our Store Owners/Operators are very active in their community and giving back to our community is a value we all share. We encourage you to work directly with your local store and discuss what fundraising opportunities or support may be available for your charitable organization or community group.
Why am I having trouble viewing the flyer?
We know how frustrating this can be. Many computers store web pages on the hard drive to help access web pages more quickly. What this means is that when your browser retrieves a page from its cache instead of the Internet, the page displayed may not be the most recent version. If an older version of our flyer appears, first try refreshing the page. If the problem persists, or you have received an error message, follow your browser’s help menu to clear your computer’s cache. This should solve the problem.
Wondering if you carry a particular product – can I check product availability online?
Sorry, at this time you can’t check for individual product availability online. However, you can access information about our Compliments line of products by visiting our web site at www.compliments.ca or contact your local FreshCo. store and the staff there would be happy to assist you.
What is your product return policy?
At FreshCo, we are proud of the quality of the products that we carry, so much so we have a DOUBLE FRESH GUARANTEE. If you aren’t quite satisfied with an item, return it to the store with your receipt within 14 days and not only will we refund your money, we’ll replace the item. Also, we suggest that you contact the company that manufactured the product directly. Manufacturers are the experts on their own products and welcome customer feedback.
What does “Lowest Price Guarantee” mean?
Our “Lowest Price” guarantees mean that discount supermarket competitor within your local store's geographic trade area offers a lower price on any item that we carry in this store, we will sell you that item for 1¢ less than the competitor’s advertised price when you show us the competitor’s price in their current flyer (print or digital). These guarantees apply to identical items (must be same brand, size and attributes), or comparable items in the case of private label (must be competitor’s private label product of same size and attributes). These guarantees do not apply to any of the following items: products sold by in-store third party vendors, prescriptions, gift cards, liquor, tobacco, , products which may not be discounted by law, and also exclude 'spend x get x' purchased items, clearance sale items, and 'free' promotions and discounts for items obtained through loyalty or other customer programs. Our “Lowest Price” guarantees do not apply to competitor misprints. Eligible price matched purchases are limited to quantities of four (4) units of the identical price matched product per customer. These guarantees may not be used in combination with any other offer. We reserve the right, in our discretion, to determine for each store the supermarket competitors, geographic trade area and comparable items, and to make changes to this guarantee program without prior notice, which includes the right to withdraw this guarantee from any customer who we determine to be abusing the guarantee.
Do you price match turkeys?
If a major discount supermarket competitor within your local store’s geographic trade area offers a lower price on a Turkey that we carry in our store, simply show us their price in their flyer/ad (current) and we will sell you a comparable Turkey for 1¢/kg less. “Comparable” means that if the competitor ad is for a Frozen Utility Turkey, we will match their price but give you a Frozen Unstuffed, Unbasted/Unseasoned Grade A Turkey. For all other Turkey ads, “comparable Turkey” means (a) we will sell you a Frozen Unstuffed, Unbasted/Unseasoned Grade A Turkey for a Frozen Unstuffed, Unbasted/Unseasoned Grade A ad; (b) we will sell you a Frozen Unstuffed, Premium/Basted/Seasoned Grade A Turkey for a Frozen Unstuffed, Premium/Basted/Seasoned Grade A ad; (c) we will sell you a Frozen Stuffed Grade A Turkey for a Frozen Stuffed Grade A ad; and (d) we will sell you a Fresh Turkey for a Fresh Turkey ad. Excludes ‘spend x get x’; clearance sales, and ‘free’ promotions and discounts obtained through loyalty or other preferred customer programs. Does not apply to competition misprints or withdrawn or corrected advertisements. We reserve the right to verify competitor prices and to limit quantities to 2 Turkeys. “Our major supermarket competitors”, “geographic trade areas” and “comparable items” are determined solely by us and are based on a number of factors that can change from time to time. We reserve the right to make changes to this program without prior notice.

How will FreshCo handle cash transactions following the Government of Canada’s plan to eleminate the penny?
The Government of Canada is phasing out the penny. Starting February 4, 2013, pennies will no longer be distributed to businesses or financial institutions. In our stores, pennies will continue to be accepted. For cash payments where change is owed, your change will be rounded to the nearest five-cent increment using the following Government of Canada rounding guidelines:
- Amounts ending in 1 cent and 2 cents are rounded down to the nearest 10 cents
- Amounts ending in 3 cents and 4 cents are rounded up to the nearest 5 cents
- Amounts ending in 6 cents and 7 cents are rounded down to the nearest 5 cents
- Amounts ending in 8 cents and 9 cents are rounded up to the nearest 10 cents
- Amounts ending in 0 cent and 5 cents remain unchanged.
Our rounding approach may not be adopted by third party service providers operating within our store environment. Please contact with those providers directly if you have any questions about their rounding policies related to the elimination of the penny.
Electronic transactions such as debit and credit cards don’t need to be rounded, and will not be impacted.
For more information, please visit the Government of Canada “Phasing out the Penny” site at www.actionplan.gc.ca/penny or call 1 800 O-Canada.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept VISA, MasterCard, Interac, and Cash at all of our stores.
