| - I have a love/hate relationship with this store. It's close to home so it's convenient. It's clean and bright. I spend far less here than at the other major grocers.
The variety of goods is vast. They recently started to crowd out shelf space for 'North American' foods in favour of other cultural options. I have tried many new foods as a result, but, my feeling is they went too far in that direction.
For some reason, the clientele here has become increasingly rude and disrespectful. That's a shame but speaks to what the world is becoming and is no fault of this grocer.
The parking lot is often a nightmare (a full on fist fight was even featured on local news, caught on video). If you can go mid week, during the day, it's easy-peasy. All other times, be warned, it's awful. Best suggestion to navigating it is to head for the back of the lot (against the concrete retaining wall beside Lawrence Ave). and use that area to make your way around the perimeter, head toward the LCBO and exit from their lot.
Also note....they took away the shopping cart sheds in the parking lot 2 years ago. The result is, you have to walk your cart all the way back to the front entrance to get your loonie back.
So...head there at the right time, learn the parking lot and enjoy. If you insist on going on a Saturday, midday.....you have only yourself to blame. It's a zoo.
