Extra Foods was founded in 1982 by Loblaws. The chain grew in popularity and quickly began to open more locations throughout Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. 
In the late 1990s, most OK Economy stores were rebranded to the Extra Foods banner, this expanded the Extra Foods name. 
By the early 2000s, Extra Foods had reached their peak, with locations in 4 provinces and 2 territories. 
Starting in 2008, Loblaws started to rebrand select locations to Extra Foods. Starting in the 2010s, locations also started rebranding to the Your Independent Grocer. By the end of the 2010s, most locations had rebranded to these banners or were permanently closed. In 2020, Extra Foods was down to under 10 locations. 
In 2024, the last two Extra Foods locations were closed in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This marked the end of the Extra Foods chain
