Loblaws

I always have great experiences at this location. Because it's almost Halloween, they sell a lot of super big pumpkins here. Especially if you want to accumulate Optimum points, just buy 10 pumpkins and you will have 2000pts. Not only that, here are super rare promotions if you want to buy candy for Halloween, you only need to pay half of the normal amount and get the same amount of candy. Especially this place sells very delicious cakes, many options. This is always my favorite place when I want to buy cake and bread and other cakes. Finally, here the space is clean, spacious, there are many discount offers.

This is generally an ok store - not the fanciest or inviting of course, and they usually do not have everything I’m looking for, but since that is what I expect, it doesn’t take me by surprise when I shop here. The staff are generally pleasant and I will say the Meat department is good. One thing though that happens consistently is, whenever I buy any pre-washed salad greens, well in advance of the ‘best before’ date, they are always waterlogged and half rotten, and I end up having to pick out all the individual slimy brown leaves out when I get home. In the end I’m left with between 30-50% of the product that is actually usable/palatable. Additionally, their heads of leaf and other types of lettuce are usually badly wilted. I would have to guess that they are storing them improperly/at the wrong temperature. Maybe the produce manager here could learn something from the Fresh Co down the street, or the No Frills on Pacific, both of which are very good.

This experience happened to me a couple of months ago but never posted a review until now because I still can’t believe it. I bought one of their pre packaged feta pasta cause it was 50% I believe and when I got home, I ate about 70% of it and looked down and there was a freaking earwig!! I couldn’t believe my eyes, I felt absolutely sick. Nasty establishment! I didn’t go in cause it wasn’t worth going back and getting a refund since it’s a bit far from me but I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else!

Poorly organized isles and badly overpriced produce. No gluten free section. And was told today that they don’t have trolleys so good luck hauling your shopping around. Not coming back. I’ll support the mom and pop grocers on Roncy instead.

Great store. Big variety of different products. Clean facilities. A lot of parking. Great customer service. A little more expensive though than other stores such as No frills for example.
