This is one of the "newer" Food Basics stores in Markham; by newer I mean in the past 3-5 years of course. It's also quieter compared to the No Frills approximately 1km south.
Food Basics is, in general, a cheaper Loblaws. You get a smaller variety of food products here, but prices are definitely lower. From a small sample of Food Basics stores I've been to, the variety here is about average, and if you can't find anything that you want in this store, chances are Loblaws is what your target market is.
The cashiers are nice and courteous, and will process your order efficiently, as well as saying hello and goodbye.
As with all Food Basics stores, 5 cents per bag policy is enforced here.
