About Sobeys

Sobeys is a retail grocery store located on Adelaide St N in the Stoneybrook Heights neighbourhood of London, Ontario. It serves the local community as a destination for quality and convenience, offering a variety of fresh groceries, bakery items, and weekly deals. The company describes itself as a trusted grocery retailer with a long history rooted in Canadian values. Founded by J.W. Sobey, the business originated in 1880s Nova Scotia as a small meat-delivery service using horse-drawn wagons. It eventually expanded into a full-line grocery store in 1907, offering local vegetables, dairy, fish, and staple food products. The business culture is built on principles of loyalty, self-reliance, and community service. Sobeys has grown from a local Nova Scotia operation into a nationwide chain, expanding into Ontario in 1987. The store participates in the FoodHero program, which allows customers to discover deals on surplus products through an app to help reduce food waste. Customers can place orders through the app and pick them up in-store. The location is managed by Jeremy Sheridan.
