Food Basics

Food Basics is a Canadian supermarket chain created by A&P Canada, to compete with the successful "No Frills" warehouse style supermarket operated by Loblaws. Food Basics sells at lower cost due to low maintenance (no free bags, just free cardboard boxes). The chain operates by pushing a high volume of product out through lower prices to the consumer. Lower prices are obtained by keeping decor to a minimum and using a smaller number of staff; mostly part time employees.

In addition to the thousands of national brand products they offer, they also carry their very own Private Label products to bring great quality and even more savings all at the Best Prices Everyday!!! Those brands include Master Choice, Equality, Simply Kids, Great Basics Finds, and Basics For Less which are household products are designed for the customers who like to save even more money.
