It used to be the company store for Scotia Trawler, and catered both for the provisioning of the fishing boats and the needs of the families at home. It's got an adequate selection for its size, although it's a little light on speciality or high end items, which is understandable. As a place to get staples, it's wonderful. Foodland is associated with Sobeys, so it carries the Our Compliments line of house brand products, and it also gives Air Miles, which I love.

And now that I have a family of my own, it's a traditional stop for my husband and I (and ALL of our friends!). This market started off as a produce market, selling fruit and veggies from the Wile's farm, and a bakery. Eventually the shop started to expand to include not only the bakery, but also other local produce, a huge garden centre and a gift shop. They've also recently added an area with "comfort food to go". All the recipes used in the bakery are just the same now as they were when the place opened in 1985! And they're FANTASTIC! They're baking from the time they open in the morning until it's all gone in the evening. Everything is delicious, and made in-house - you can even look through the window and see into the kitchen where they're baking up new treats! We love stopping by on the way to the cottage to grab all our fresh fruits, veggies and baked goods. The ladies that work the cash are so helpful, kind and funny. They always remember a face (maybe not your name though!). Stop by Wile's next time you're on your way to Keji (it's on the route, just past exit 13!) or if you're in that end of the province and grab some of their delicious white,brown or raisin bread or a fantastic molasses cookie or freshly baked pie. You will NOT be disappointed!

My husband and I stopped in this bakery after lunch because, well, it's a bakery! Lol. Staff were…read moresuper nice and greeted us right away. I was just looking around when they introduced me to their Chai Cookies. I love Chai, so I had to get one. They were $2.30 each (taxes in) and quite large. They also introduced me to their soft baked pretzels, which looked really good and were also quite large ($3 each), but I decided to pass, maybe next time. I was looking at their chocolate chip cookies and I found it really cute that the girl said "I promise you that no one took a bite out of these, they are just broken like that." They did in fact look like someone took small nibbles around the edges, haha. I have a soft spot in my heart for bakeries that go ahead and sell imperfectly shaped or less aesthetically pleasing goods. This is probably because my own baking is not much to look at, but it is delicious - my own opinion, but also the opinion of others who have tasted my baking, lol. Anyway, they are relatively new, as they weren't there when we were last in Liverpool a few years ago. They sell sauces, pastas, water bottles, and other items in addition to baked goods. They also have sandwiches.

I'd be delighted to have a shop like Main & Mersey down the street from my house. There was plenty of space. I hope they are jammed for dinner. We sat at the community table and we got the history of Liverpool and an analysis of local economic conditions from a lovely woman who was at the table with us. The Liverpool Tourist Authority might want to hire her. Or maybe she WAS working for the Tourism Authority and we didn't realize it.
