| - I have been shopping here since 1997, but I never knew that one day I'd give these guys 4 stars. Count 'em! Back in the good old days, I'd rate them 2 or 3 stars at best...
What has changed? 1) The produce section has moved to the centre aisle(s) and it appears that there's more shelving/layout space for all the different fruits and veggies (rather than having the produce lie around in storage). I wonder if they reduced the number of the bulk bins? The Bernard Callebaut bulk chocolate seems to be missing.... 2) The overhead signage in each aisle has improved immensely. The print is larger and there are more items listed on each sign. 3) Items seem to better stocked. Since going to Superstore is a bit further than going to Co-op, I sort of expect to buy all of the items on my list on a single trip. In the past, it was tough bananas for you (I like to shop around 8:00-9:30am; no later); over one-third of my items were out of stock or simply unaccounted for (e.g. Baking aisle: no dried apricots, raisins, almonds. Food wrap: no parchment paper, paper plates, or plastic wrap)! Well, I've only come here 3 times since their reno/reshelving, the acid test would be before Thanksgiving and Christmas. 4) Gotta love the cheese display. There are more display units to showcase their extensive selection of cheeses and pates.
5) They've added an in-house sushi and platter-making island. Did you forget to order something to take to a BBQ, concert or special event? Come to Superstore and get it then!! 6) It was easier to maneuver my cart around the rearranged aisles/shelving units.
