One would think all chain grocery stores are the same, when I started to collect Points using the…read moreOptimum App ( President's Choice / Loblaw / Shoppers Drug Mart / NoFrills etc. ) I have been going to different locations, good thing is each stores offers slightly different product and especially ethnic products. E.g. I find more European items at the Tsawwassen store and more Halal products at the North Vancouver store! Since they offer many self service check-out counters I have not used customer service and interact with the staff necessary, I don't know if that is a good thing or not but, we do get what we wanted most of the time! As for Ambiance, most stores offer bright and clean environments which makes shopping a little more enjoyable!

I love watching movies and enjoy a good food or a simple snack to go with it, so I decided to pass…read morethrough this store as I'm usually in this area anyways to see what kind of selection they have. The good: they do have SOME selections of chips and other snack items, as well as beverages like soda and non-alcoholic drinks. And the prices seems fair and competitive. Also the employees that I've seen seemed friendly. The bad: Not the best selections, not saying they're bad as they do provide options, but it's just as I've seen better. That and if you're looking for something as simple as chips, then unless if I'm missing something, THEIR selections of those items seemed not that far off from Walmart or even the dollar store (ie. Dollarama) options. Bottom line, this is definitely a good spot to visit if you're looking for some grubs to eat as they do have items for you to grab either to eat in the store as they have their own tables and seats (with a flatscreen tv as well, nice touch), foods in the deli to be eaten on the go, and even the typical roasted whole chicken for about $10 for you to take home for dinner. Basically, if you've been to any IGA, then you've probably already seen them all for the most part. :)

I took a photo of it and kept the receipt (picture) to ask them for another product to replace the rotten one, expecting fairness from the management. However, for my surprise, the manager told me I should have kept the rotten pineapple and take it to the store to show it to him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to replace it. So I should have kept a rotten and stinky pineapple in my house for 2 days (since I wasn't able to go there the day after the purchase, and could only make it on wednsday), so I would show him this fruit so this way he would be able to allow me to replace it for any other $3.99 product. I used to be a customer at this store, as well as my brother and sister-in-law. None of us will ever go there again, for good.

Looks like the old school Stong's neighbourhood grocer has moved upscale and into nicer areas…read more Still remember the old locations in Vancouver. Parking is plentiful in the strip mall lot. The place is split into a large deli/produce section and a conventional (shelf) section. They also have random perky things such as an ice cream and popcorn section.

The prices are somewhat fair but often are very expensive. Decided to buy a couple of chicken Parmesan with noodles, it's not bad at all but definitely not my cup of tea. This price thing is really the only issue I had with this store (and many of the other Save on Foods as some of the prices just doesn't make any sense at all. Yes, inflations, tariffs and such but still..... around $23~$24ish for 2 portions chicken Parmesan? Not the worst thing I've seen but definitely could be much better, especially since it wasn't even great. As for service, there isn't really much to say other than the one employee that I had asked for help because the self-checkout was on the fritz again was friendly.

Decided to come by to this store recently after a medical appointment right next door because I've…read morebeen itching to check out their inventory and see what they had to offer for a while. Anyways, if you been to any popular grocery store chain, you've been to all of them because they offer pretty much the same idea as any other stores. Their prices seems to be pretty fair and do have a decent amount of items for you to buy as a quick lunch (sandwich, wraps, sushi, chicken tenders and chicken pieces). I decided to get the chicken tenders and the total + the free dipping sauce (first one is free) = $6.11 and the chicken ended up being relatively tender and moist. Is the best tasting chicken ever? No but it does the job if you are hungry and needed something quick. and also the dipping sauce helped a lot too. I also noticed some hot pot meat slices and it's kind of surprising as I didn't really expect them to have these as I've only ever really seen them in Asian stores. The prices for it though wasn't exactly the greatest as I had seen slightly better offers, but it's definitely not terrible. Osaka supermarket in Park Royal mall in West Vancouver 5~8 minute drive away is a better option for anyone who wants this. Lastly the cashier that checked my items out seemed friendly enough. Not a bad place to check out for a quick meal.

If you want to try a new cheese or it's just you for the evening to pair your wine with a sharp Keen's Cheddar or a mild Gouda just have your pick. That option is there. Refreshing Floral Department. Alluring Bakery Section. And if you want a fresh slice of Pizza it's right by the hot buffet of grilled meats and veggies steaming and ready for lunch. And of course the location can't be beat.
