Hubby and I were looking for liquid smoke for some makerel and thought to try at Loblaw.
I have never been to Loblaw and I was very impressed with their store. When we first walked in we saw a Starbucks, definite plus points here. Then there was the curving staircase that led to their second floor, which has dining tables that overlooked the layout of the store. Perusing the aisles I saw many specialty items that looked and sounded deliciously enticing. Took a look through their sales paper and noticed they had decent sales.
Couldn't find what we were looking for and asked one of the staff. She couldn't help us, so she called someone else who could. This sweet older woman personally escorted my hubby to where they usually stock the item; they had a pleasant conversation on the way over. Found out that they were out of it, and since it's the end of the bbq season, wouldn't be ordering more. She apologized for the inconvenience.
Friendly and helpful staff, lots of interesting specialty food items to try, and great sales: I will definitely keep Loblaws on my roster of grocery stores to visit.
