Grocery Stores in Barrie, ON
Faircart lists 10 grocery stores in Barrie, ON, across 7 banners: FreshCo, Metro, Zehrs, Costco, Food Basics, Foodland and Sobeys. 7 of them come from the retailer's own store locator; 3 come from OpenStreetMap, where volunteers map stores whose chains do not publish a readable list. Nothing here is typed in by hand. FreshCo has the most Barrie locations we can confirm (2 of 10). These stores sit in 2 different postal areas (L4M, L4N). Barrie's grocery banners here are run by Empire Company Limited, Metro Inc., Loblaw Companies Limited and Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd., and 6 of the 10 stores we list are covered by Faircart's live price tracking.
3 of these 10 locations come from OpenStreetMap — verify before you drive. Loblaw, Walmart, Costco, Super C and Adonis do not publish a store list we can read, so those addresses are contributed by volunteers. They are accurate in aggregate, but any single listing may be out of date. Rows from a chain's own locator are marked below.

Grocery prices in Barrie
Faircart does not have Barrie-specific prices, and we are not going to imply that we do. Our price observations are collected from each banner's online storefront for one region, so they describe the banner, not the individual store on your street.
Of the banners with confirmed Barrie locations, we do track live prices for FreshCo, Metro, Food Basics, Sobeys. You can run your own shopping list against those banners and see which basket comes out lowest — only baskets that contain every item you asked for are ranked.

Price matching at Barrie banners
FreshCo
Competitor price matchIf one of a short list of discount competitors advertises an identical item cheaper in its current flyer, FreshCo sells it to you for 1¢ less. The guarantee is limited to up to four named discount competitors in your store's trade area, current-flyer proof only, and a cap of four units.

Metro
No price-match policyAs of September 4, 2026, Metro publishes no price-match policy. We checked the Metro Help Centre, the weekly flyer, the terms and conditions, and the Moi loyalty programme terms on metro.ca, and none of them describes a customer-initiated price match against a competitor's advertised price. This is a finding about Metro' published material, not a claim about what an individual store manager will do at the till.

Sobeys
Limited points guaranteeSobeys' published "Verified Prices" program — offered in Atlantic Canada (NS, NB, NL, PEI) for a limited time — automatically credits the difference in Scene+ points when a flyer item Sobeys has marked with the "Verified Prices" icon is cheaper at one of its pre-selected brick-and-mortar competitors. The official process is a points guarantee on items Sobeys selects, not a customer-triggered price reduction using a competitor flyer at checkout.

What this page is missing
A directory that hides its gaps is an advertisement. These banners operate in Canada and are not listed above, because on our last harvest we could not read their store lists from a public source. Assume Barrie has more grocery stores than this page shows.
- Farm BoyEmpire Company LimitedFarm Boy runs a separate storefront platform and is absent from the Empire store index we read, so we cannot list its locations.
- Longo’sEmpire Company LimitedLongo’s runs a separate storefront platform and is absent from the Empire store index we read, so we cannot list its locations.
- Chalo! FreshCoEmpire Company LimitedChalo! FreshCo is not distinguished as its own banner in the Empire store index we read, so we cannot list its locations separately.
