It's been so interesting getting to know the area since we moved close by! I needed some pain reliever as I had run out, and this shop had more varieties and price comparisons to offer. Of course, the fact that it's December and all the shops are decked out were its holiday cheer! I can hardly wait for the after-sales!! I was greeted by friendly and helpful staff at the makeup counter Got what I needed without difficulty.

They overcharged my mother's prescription on her Visa and I had to ask for a refund of over $100. They put the wrong pills in my mother's packaged prescription more than once. Thank God I always reviewed the pills. There is ALWAYS a minimum of half an hour wait time even when there are no other customers at any of the 4 service windows. Today, again I went to pick up the prescription, told it was not ready and it would be 15-20 minutes. I left, then came back 40 minutes later and again had to wait another 15 minutes as I was told that the pharmacist had to review the prescription. Note, I had been told that it would only be less then 5 minutes. I waited at the consultation window for the pharmacist. The pharmacist "Hina" is rude and nasty, she INSISTED that I sit on the yellow seats rather then wait at the consulting window. THERE WAS NO "PLEASE", it was said in the matter of a demand. When I said that I will wait where I want, she rudely stated that the window was for consultation only. Please note, there were no other customers waiting at any of the windows or on the yellow seats. During my wait time, Hina decided to have a social conversation with "Jeana" who was sitting beside her. So much for customer service. I will be looking for a new pharmacy! I would give this pharmacy a zero if I could.

Food Basics offers affordable fruits and vegetables which is what we purchase here most often, as they tend to be more affordable. For instance, this is where you would find the red, yellow, green, and red peppers that are perhaps a little smaller or misshapen than you would find at the competition (think: farm boy, or Sobeys, Loblaws even), or not as round as the more expensive grocery stores, but certainly, these are still edible and tasty. We tend to look for the specials (you can look in flipp if you have a smart phone for the best prices in your neighbourhood.) What I often find here in their very small flower section is that the blooms can be past their best-buy date, grown but not at their peak. But then, the bouquets are often offered at a better price, as a result. The Food Basics has a decent international section, considering that they are a standard grocery store. The service is usually good. COVID restrictions are adhered to, with well marked aisles throughout the store and at the registers. They also have lottery services.

This is a mainstay in Gananoque and has all the essentials and then some. Decent produce and meat cuts are available with a decent array of other consumables. The staff are friendly, helpful, and efficient. Also, if you find yourself in a pinch, their floral section can help you get out of the doghouse. A decent grocery store for sure.
