We weren't even in there for 5-minutes and the lady at the cash register literally said word-for-word: "Do you guys need help finding something? This isn't a museum. Hurry up because I got stuff to do!" We're the one of two sets of customers in the store and the other customers just left. It was very rude and it was in the middle of the afternoon. Won't be coming back. As I left I told her it was very rude how she acted, but she didn't seem to care and she wasn't checking IDs either. read more

They must get tired of this. So very, very, very tired. What am I talking about, you say? I'm talking about Americans who stop in here to evacuate their pockets of Twoonies & Loonies. It must be annoying to have Americans stop in here to unweigh themselves of Canadian Currency. But you know what, the lady working here when we stopped by: super nice, eh? While prepping to leave Canadia, we took a pit stop at the Real Canadian Superstore to get rid of our Loonies, Twoonies, and any other hard cash. This basically means we buy lots of Cheezies, Smarties, Eat More bars, and other Canadian junk food. However, as we were walking the parking lot, we noticed a liquor store across the way. My sister and I sauntered our way on over there. This little liquor store was "warehouse-sized", but it was nice inside, and there were lots of beverage (of the alcohol variety) options here. Most of it was the standard stuff, but we noticed some local B.C. microbrews, and had to do some on-the-fly coin calculations. How many bottles are in a 6-Pack?!? How many Twoonies will I need to buy one? What would Bob & Doug MacKenzie do????? (http://youtu.be/w1RN3cYnY9k) We ended up picking up a couple of 16oz bottles and then making our way to the checkout counter. This is where it gets embarrassing for the United States of America. We basically dived our hands in our pockets and laid down a pile of coins in front of the lady. And ya know what? We were short! This is when we had to run to the car to get our mommy. She came in with a big smile....and some silver. More counter-clinking coins clamored for attention and counting. We did it. All the coins (and lint) from our pockets were removed. We had liquid souvenirs from Canada. The counter lady smiled and sent us on our way. read more

Great Canadian Liquor Warehouse - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Cranbrook, British Columbia

Of course the best thing about a liquor store is the product. Most are fairly comparable. The benefit of Great Canadian liquor is that it's got great hours. Open until 11 every day, great for late night runs when most stores are closed. Pro tip: take your receipt and enter your name for the draws they have. There are always a couple in play at any time, ranging from a car, to sports memorabilia, to smokers. I haven't won anything yet, but fingers crossed! read more

The liquor prices here are high, as one expects at a cold beer and wine store...but we already know that's going to be the case, so no big deal. I liked the fact that they bring in booze from local wineries, supporting small businesses is a big plus. I also like the fact that they bring in some interesting and different types of liquor, ones that you can't find at the other liquor stores in town. It gives people a reason to shop there instead, and they are willing to pay a couple dollars more to get something unique. read more

- since the prices are generally higher than those you'll find at the BC Liquor Store(s), I reluctantly give this place a boo when I'm trying to find a particular item - often it's an exercise in futility ... sigh - that said, I must commend the staff for they've always been courteous & helpful read more
