Proudly Canadian since 1907

<h2>Proudly Canadian since 1907</h2>


Investing in local is part of our heritage: J.W. Sobey began a meat-delivery service using a few local suppliers in Stellarton, NS. Over the years the grocery business may have changed, but Sobeys commitment to support local supply partners has remained strong.
