The store isn't bad. It's fine. It's reasonably clean and it has pretty much what all the other No Frills have. There's a decent selection of veggies and meat, as well as all the other staples you need. It's got the basics.
There's also tons of parking, though I do feel like I'm in a bit of an obstacle course in there. Tons of people walking around the parking lot at all times. -

It would be wrong to compare any No Frills to the average Loblaws (or Sobeys). They just don't play in the same league. That said, Freddie's No Frills barely lives up to the many other crappy No Frills locations. Joe's No Frills (at the Dufferin Mall) is much better - cleaner, brighter, better selection and often cheaper to boot! How does that make sense?
Freddie's is just plain bad. Bad selection. Poor cleanliness. Surly staff. Surly clientele (can you blame us?). Terrible produce. And anyway, Freddie's pic makes him look like a gangster.
As many say, we go for the convenience, not the shopping experience. Our hope is that as the Wychwood area of St. Clair keeps getting better and better, those of us in the neighbourhood will get a little competition to choose from. Would it kill you, Freddie, to renovate the store so you can still compete when a new guy inevitably moves in nearby? How does Loblaws let you get away with running such a dingy place? Shame. -

This No Frills is on my way home from work ... plus there's a liquor store next door.
I stopped in yesterday for the first time on my way home from work.
It looks like a big store but it's actually a small crappy store. There's not a lot of choice. The workers were stocking shelves when I was there. There were stocking carts in the way and the workers were quite abrasive (obviously no customer service training). The lack of signs made me wonder what the cost of things were.
I won't be back. The one at Lansdowne/Dundas is so much better. -

Its not quite as bad as the New Jersey [Pancha's @ Dufferin/Eg] of No Frills, but its pretty bad. Let's say its the upstate NY (Buffalo area) of No Frills.
Cons:
Crappy neighborhood
Not that Close to the TTC bus stop
No butcher or seafood counter
Fairly small store
Often crowded at checkouts
[some] Unfriendly/poorly trained staff and management
Low stock of shopping carts, and some are in poor shape
Grubby-ish looking store in need of a reno
Pros:
Low No Frills pricing
If this place wasn't the only grocery action around I would go elsewhere. But alas, there is Loblaws way to the East, and Metro waaay to the West.Listed in: My Favourite No-Frills
