Loblaws

Simply outstanding supermarket with a huge range of quality produce. If you're in this part of Vancouver then make this your supermarket of choice.

The bakery unit is nice, but the pastry unit does NOT have good cakes although being fancy in appearance!! I have tried quite a few of their pastries so far; non were appealing!! I purchased Mocha cake today, no one liked it in the family and I have to thrash it. I also purchased a slice of carrot cake that was NOT good. I purchased two Eclaires that were acceptable, nothing special though!! If you want nice pastries go to Save On Foods!

Had a great experience yesterday with a guy working in Bakery section named Mojtaba. He was so nice and helped me patiently to choose the specific bread and donuts I wanted. He absolutely knew how to behave with customers, so appreciate that.

I actually shop at this Loblaws a lot. Very convenient, near my house, parking usually easy, staff mostly helpful and friendly. However they are always struggling with stocking their shelves. Not sure if it is staff issue or if they intend to keep their inventory low. However today I was not able to find first three items I looked for not rare items, just coconut yogurt, fairlife milk, fresh cut melons, It was frustrating so I did not continue to look for the rest, and later I was able to find all at Loblaws Lonsdale, so obviously it was not general supply issue but store based. Another annoying change they made is $100 limit on card tapping. I understand they are making this for security but if Walmart, Superstore, other Loblaws can manage payments with higher tapping limits I am sure park royal can do that as well. Considering this neighbourhood’s income levels I assume several shoppers exceed $100 limit and need to look for their cards instead of tapping their phones. And honestly this is not a cheap grocery store so it is very easy to pass $100. I hope they will do some improvements so I can see this store as one stop shopping where I can find most the items on my list and just pay and go after my morning run without looking for my card.nnUpdate: Not much changed. Adding pictures from today, no fresh produce. Fully empty berry aisle, no parsley, cilantro, kale, zucchini, english cucumber or tomatoes. Even during pandemic it didn’t get this bad at any store. And now none of the other stores have such a problem. This is so frustrating. How could a brand like Loblaws have such supplier issues??? Another waste of my time.

had the best customer service from Will! he was able to help us locate some soup very appreciative, friendly and efficient :
