Needs Convenience is a chain of convenience stores throughout eastern Canada. The Needs logo and trademark are owned by Sobeys. Individual stores are operated by independent franchisees. Sobeys is the exclusive supplier to the chain. Many stores operate from 6AM-midnight, however there are some 24-hour locations in larger urban centres. In recent years, the Needs chain has begun installing gasoline stations at a limited number of locations using either the Ultramar Limited or Sobeys Fast Fuels brands.
