Food Basics welcomed shoppers to its newest location in Mississauga, Ont. today (March 27).
The Metro Inc.-owned discount chain plans to open six additional locations in the province this year.
Food Basics’ new 29,000 sq.-ft. store—its seventh in Mississauga and 146th overall—is situated at 4152 Confederation Parkway on the ground level of Parkside condos. It will employ 85 people.
The news comes as the banner celebrates its 30th anniversary.
“Food Basics is always looking for opportunities to expand, and we are excited to growing in a dynamic community like Mississauga,” says John Manax, vice president of operations, Food Basics, in a press release. “No matter where you live, people are always looking for ways to save on quality products. Residents who may be first-time shoppers at Food Basics will get to know us as a discount grocer that is a reliable source for always fresh, always in-stock, healthy food at always great prices.”
The store promises to offer a “stylish, urban feel.” Shoppers can expect private label brands Irresistible and Selection, as well as an extensive international foods section and locally sourced products, fresh meat and produce.
Customers can earn Moi Rewards and have the option to order groceries online with click-and-collect or have them delivered via Uber Eats.
“Our main goal is to provide our customers with the best discount shopping experience possible with the most value at the lowest prices possible,” stated Jennifer Hall, store manager. “I’m looking forward to opening our doors and welcoming everyone to our new and modern store here in Mississauga.”
As part of the opening, Food Basics is donating $5,000 to Food Banks Mississauga. The food bank is affiliated with Feed Ontario, a long-time partner of Metro, notably through its One More Bite food recovery program.
