Superstore may consider an eligible Sobeys advertised price when Sobeys is a local accepted competitor and the item is identical. Sobeys-banner stores (as distinct from FreshCo and Foodland, which share the same parent company, Empire) are less common in some markets where Superstore competes, so confirm local eligibility before assuming it applies.
Sobeys, FreshCo, and Foodland are related but different banners
Sobeys, FreshCo, and Foodland are all owned by Empire Company, but they operate as distinct store banners with their own flyers and pricing. A flyer from one banner doesn’t necessarily apply to another, and Superstore’s local-competitor list may treat them differently depending on which banners actually compete in your area. If FreshCo is more common where you shop, read Does Superstore Price Match FreshCo? instead — it covers the same mechanics with the more commonly relevant banner in many Ontario markets.
Confirm Sobeys is an eligible local competitor
This is the first and most important check for a Sobeys-specific match, since fewer Superstore locations will have a directly competing Sobeys-banner store nearby compared to FreshCo or Food Basics.
