Compliments Cinnamon Sugar Granola

Compliments is a prominent private-label brand owned by Sobeys Inc., one of Canada's leading grocery retailers. The brand traces its roots back to 1993, originally launching as "Our Compliments" before being simplified to Compliments in 2005 as part of a major retail refresh to compete with other store brands like Loblaw's President's Choice.

This specific Cinnamon Sugar Granola is part of a broad portfolio of over 5,000 products ranging from pantry staples to fresh produce. The brand is designed to offer high-quality alternatives to national brands at more competitive prices. As a private label, while the brand is Canadian-owned, manufacturing and sourcing vary across the product line. However, Sobeys emphasizes supporting local supply chains, and many of their cereal and granola products are manufactured within Canada. To confirm the exact facility for a single bag, shoppers can look for the "Prepared for Sobeys" label near the UPC, which signifies Canadian production.

Today, Compliments is a core asset of Sobeys Inc., which is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Empire Company Limited, a conglomerate headquartered in Stellarton, Nova Scotia. The brand remains a staple across various retail banners, including Sobeys, Safeway, IGA, and FreshCo.
