Thrifty Foods

Thrifty Foods is a supermarket chain founded in 1977 in Fairfield, Victoria, British Columbia.

Over the years, it has expanded to operate numerous stores across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, becoming a staple in the local communities it serves.

The stores offer a wide range of products, including fresh produce, meats, seafood, bakery items, and ready-to-eat meals. Thrifty Foods is known for supporting local suppliers through initiatives like "We Pick BC First," which highlights local farmers and producers.

In 2007, Thrifty Foods was acquired by Sobeys Inc., one of Canada's largest food retailers, allowing it to maintain its brand identity while benefiting from the resources of a national company.

Beyond groceries, Thrifty Foods is committed to community engagement, supporting local charities, and promoting sustainability through various programs and partnerships.
