I decided to return to this IGA as it was lobster season and this IGA generally gets a lot of lobsters or at least during the times that I've visited this IGA, I've never ran into a situation where the lobsters either haven't arrived yet or they were sold out. I would generally show up on the weekend in the late morning or early afternoon.
During lobster season, the price of their lobsters are sometimes a bit more expensive than at other grocery stores selling lobsters but my time, gas, and ability to get the lobsters is worth paying a bit extra in my opinion as opposed to driving some place where it is advertised for less and they either haven't received their shipment yet for the day (which means waiting a few hours for it to arrive) or they are sold out.
This year for lobster season, IGA decided to offer a lower price (but still slightly more expensive than what was advertised at 2 other grocery stores selling lobsters) for people who had the Scene+ card so before deciding to drive here, I applied for my Scene+ card online and stored it on my phone.
The person working in the seafood section was very friendly and offered good customer service for the lobster. I personally have a preference for female lobsters over male lobsters so ordered 2 female lobsters and he had no problems accommodating me.
The place is also clean and the inside is very nice.
I noticed that this grocery store also had a self checkout aisle and since there wasn't a line-up to use these machines whereas there were line-ups to use the cashier aisles, I opted to use the self checkout aisle. Paid very easily and scanned the virtual Scene+ card from my phone. The person working/helping people in the self-check aisle was very friendly and nice as well when I had problems scanning my virtual Scene+ card from my phone.
This IGA also has a dining area which has free WiFi so you can buy some prepared food and eat it in the dining area.
For me, the location isn't the most convenient which is the only reason I wouldn't visit this place regularly. I'm closer to the Maxi and Super-C area of VSL which is why I would go there regularly and would just visit this IGA occasionally as it is an extra ~10 minutes from me by car to get here with traffic. read more
