Parking is available along the side streets, as well as Hastings after 1800. The interior is nice and bright. The space is quite large, so they have a pretty good selection of stuff. Special mention goes to their super glue selection - they have several different sizes. They even have a pack containing a bunch of tiny tubes. Anyone who has used a larger tube before knows that it always dries out before way before you can use up the product. Staff were friendly quick. I will definitely be back.

I like to buy breads there, as they sell the Non-GMO Project verified and vegan brand "Silver Hills" which is my favorite brand. Silver Hills breads can cost anywhere between 4-6$ at regular price in regular stores. They receive the breads every week and usually the Best before/expiry date is at most 3 days later, but it doesn't matter because I just freeze it. They also have a few staples like pasta sauce at a discount price, but their grocery section isn't that big and mostly contains unhealthy foods. The best deals are probably on household items such as kitchen tools, cleaning supply, etc.

Wow! This store was…read morerecommended to me by a Vancouver friend. Growing up in New York I had many toys/toy brands from Europe and in raising my son I've been looking for a lot of the toys I remember from my childhood. I found my beloved Moulin Roty toys here to give to my son. The selection here is an awesome combine of whimsical aesthetic while simultaneously avoiding much of the plastic that has come to be a part of childhood. They also shipped easily back to the Bay Area.

The store itself is located next to some concert venue or something of that sort because the entire place was literally shaking from the noise of a couple of electric guitars and a drum set. That would've driven me nuts personally, but maybe the owners are okay with it. The lady was pretty friendly, and answered my questions on the phone. She was also able to find every item on the list. Where would we be without these stores. My only complaint is that the stuff here isn't the cheapest. It's not really a dollar store. Stuff ranged from $2-5. Yes it's still convenient, but call yourself a toonie store if you have to.

This shop is very well stocked up with art and office supplies, party supplies like paper plates and cups, holiday decorations and kitchen and bath necessities. He always has current holiday supplies, cards and a good assortment of gift wrapping needs. I love the little blank books, lined and unlined for only a few dollars that are too expensive elsewhere. You could even pick up a few "stocking stuffers" for the right price here. If you're in the neighbourhood, and you remember you need some last minute things, this is your place. *Also to note, a chocolate store across the street, an excellent bakery and a fine meat shop next door.

Pros: - fresh fresh fresh fresh fruit that is very fresh. It's fresh. - prices are v good and they're v competitive since there are many other produce shops within a few metres away from one another - lots of bulk variety and not at all expensive - they bring in snacks that you don't normally see, so if you have the time- need to go through the aisles and really look at everything. There are some amazing things out there that aren't the usual Pringles and Milk Duds - staff I meet at the cashier are always v friendly and speedy to serve. Notes: - parking is tough, the drive is not really good for those driving, but try metered street out front, or the residential inside streets (careful of the signs and driveways)

There are times when I can't afford shopping at other places closer to my house and I come here to shop bulk produce. Persia Foods has a good bulk section for dried fruit, trail mixes, beans and nuts. This place saved me so much money for being an affordable small grocery store. I have nothing bad to say about this place. One time, I left my wallet at home and the cashier let me take my groceries home, gave me the receipt and told me just to come back when I can to pay my bill, I came the same night and paid for my groceries. No other place has ever done that!!! It shows that this place is about community, not just money. Thanks again Persia Foods for being the best grocery store on the drive!
