So glad there's now a decent dollar (well, $1.25) store here - most of the other "dollar stores" in…read morethis area are more like $4 stores. 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 love dollar stores. This location is convenient for me but unfortunately, it's small compared to…read moreother locations. 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.

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)

I have to be honest, this place is so important to so many people who can't afford to shop at other…read moregrocery chain stores! 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!

I love that it's woman owned and Canadian. I just wish the styles were more fashionable from the cuts to the textile design.

The other textiles are very small prints without any real design point or view. So I only shop here for basics. I've never tried returning anything so can't comment on that.
