Cobden Freshmart

Not very well run, they need to gut the place. But as is they just need someone who knows what their doing and has a good work ethic, and knows how to organise and order . They need to hire someone to work the produce dept. They would make their money for wages easy

There's usually a bad smell when you walk in. Stay away from the meat it's usually grey or greenish in color. It's previously frozen but they don't tell you that. They put expired milk on sale a week over its best before date. I wish there was another grocery store in cobden

It is what it is, a small town grocery store. Of course it would be nice to have a beautiful new store, but probably due to low profit margins, this will never happen. Don't expect perfection, just check expiry date on products. For better experience, drive to Renfrew.

I recently purchased an advertised item at this store. When it was rung in, I noticed that the price I was charged was incorrect. I waited until other customers had left the store, then brought it to the attention of the young student at the cash. He walked back with me to verify that I was correct. After doing that, he called one of the owners to come and refund me the difference. When she arrived, she said that the price posted was incorrect and the cash register price was the correct one, and that is what I had to pay. I pointed out that I should only have to pay the advertised price. She would not listen to me. She was rude and disrespectful, and she fled to the back to leave the poor student to deal with me. Word to the wise for people shopping here: watch what you are charged for when shopping here and always check expiry dates!

One of my favourite things about Ontario are the small towns and the many shops which support the community. The Cobden Freshmart is one of those which provides all the basics, and then some, of what you need in grocery. The staff are friendly and courteous and prices are what you’d expect for a small town grocery store.

Check your receipt when buying items on sale. Butter advertised as 4.99 lb. on shelf for 6.99 lb. Clerk said they didn’t have any but I pointed out they did and she honoured the 4.99 price. I had to ask for a receipt and then noticed she charged me 5.99 for a bag of potatoes that were advertised as 2.99. So again, check your receipt. I don’t blame the young clerk…Advertised sales should be entered into system.

fresh bread and meat! love their sticky buns! it is convenient to shop groceries when living in a small town as it saves me a lot of time and gas to drive and shop in satellite cities. loving the new owners too!

thankful to have this small town store when having a bad weather, needing something quickly in town or night time snack!

This place has tons of gems for a small town. I find the BEST assortment of flour here and if they don’t have something you love, they’re willing to bring it in for you! Our kittens were grateful, too!

Mostly processed food is sold at this location.
