FreshCo Pharmacy Gerrard

This is one of my favorite locations. I love the layout and the staff are always trying to help you in every way they can.
Fresh vegetables and fruit always there.
Meat is always in stock
Close to transit stops

COVID-19 WARNING: February 25: I had to stop using the shop because many people were not wearing masks properly, not at all or staying a safe distance apart. This included the staff and the hired guard at the door. Once, I might forgive, twice, bad timing. The third time I went in and left the compliance was worse.

This shop is right across the road from a Loblaw's Superstore. With a few exceptions they have a similar variety of products and usually the prices are cheaper but you need to be vigilant.

They also have both fresh fish and meat counters. The selection of international foods is exceptional. The selection of produce (especially in the winter) is limited compared to Loblaw.

They are almost always busy but don't have huge long line ups.

I would give 5 stars, but a couple of the new younger cashiers need MUCH better hospitality training. They don't greet customers, nor ask customers from the start if they will need bags, then they don't say what's owed nor ask how customer wants to pay and finally they don't say thank you. They act like zombies and robots. Train them better please. Apart from that the other cashiers are great, and store prices are the best in the area.
