This is definitely a typical Superstore with familiar brands, products and prices, as well as a similar layout. It includes a Joe Fresh, a pharmacy and a bakery. This store definitely has some supply issues as they were out of a few things, but that is typical for small town in interior BC. Previously when I visited this store there was no cell signal in the back half of the store, which is frustrating if you are trying to look at a digital app for your grocery list or calling someone to ask if there is milk in the fridge. But this time I was able to do both with far less issues. The gentleman who checked me out was so nice, he grabbed me from a longer line to open up his till, made friendly conversation, and had such an upbeat attitude for a very busy day, 3 days before Christmas. He just made my day.

I was thrilled to find that the online checkout procedure had finally been improved. But I just…read morereceived a copy of my order, only to find that the prices charged are NOT the prices of the same items when I ordered, only a few hours before. This has happened before. Has anyone ever pointed out to Superstore that that is "false advertising"!!! If Superstore feels it can offer an item for say "$2. each, with a limit of 4 items at that price", and then charge me $4. each, after I have ordered 4 items, then I should be able to change my order to 1 item, if that is what I'd have ordered had I been told what they planned to begin with. I quit ordering from WalMart after they cheated me out of $60. one time. But at least they honour the prices they advertise! I think it may be time for me to start rethinking my loyalty. Diane P.

It was exactly as my friend described it, because it contained "everything you could want in a hurry" (and if you can wait a little longer, you can always order online or venture into Princeton). They had an impressive selection of snacks, household items, and outdoor hobby items. The prices did feel a smidge higher than average, but I can definitely understand you pay for the convenience.

Tonight it was sour cream, and they had it. And for $2.50 for a small container - not bad. Some things are overpriced (like the pack of vanilla oreos I got at $5.94), but what do you expect? And they need to make a living too, so it's not a complaint as much as it is an observation. It's a one stop shop with post office, grocery items, vast array of fireworks, restaurant and eating area in the back. And they're very friendly. A note that they're only open till 6 pm usually (8 pm on Fridays).

He got me back on the road on good quality tires at a very fair price on the very same day that I came in needing help - which happened to be the Monday of a summer weekend that a lot of other local businesses were treating as a three-day weekend. Jarrod was very personable and easy to talk to, always with good clear communication; he set reasonable expectations and then exceeded them. Could not be happier with how this whole situation worked out. My opinion of Canadian Tire Automotive Centers just rose astronomically because of this very positive experience. Thank you, Jarrod!! Makes me almost wish I lived closer so I could come take advantage of the warranty :-) *almost!*

But yeah, they seem to fit in and even though they might not be as good for the smaller businesses, there seems to be a way that they can all fit in together and work out their territories. Wal-Mart is on the other side and just outside of downtown Merrit. Like the one in Squamish BC it seems to serve it's purpose by offering regular Wal-Mart type items for a good price. Pretty much everything you can find here, but not everything. There are things elsewhere in town that you just can't find in any Wal-mart. That is mainly character that doesn't fit in a big box. Still, if you can't find it elsewhere, it's always worth a chance to check it out here. And yes. I did enjoy walking through the aisles here a few times.
