Sobeys Supermarket

Sobeys is one of the most prominent supermarket chains in Canada, serving as a cornerstone of the Canadian retail landscape for over a century. Founded in Stellarton, Nova Scotia, the company has grown from a local meat delivery service into a nationwide grocery powerhouse with hundreds of locations across all ten provinces.

As of the mid-2020s, Sobeys is owned and operated by Empire Company Limited, a major Canadian conglomerate. The brand remains entirely Canadian-owned and headquartered within the country. Empire Company Limited manages Sobeys as its primary retail brand while also overseeing other well-known banners like Safeway, IGA, and Foodland, ensuring Sobeys remains a key player in the competitive North American grocery market.
