This place is a hit and miss. Some items are cheaper and some just doesn't make sense. If you run a…read morebusiness or a restaurant than maybe it will work out for you. Otherwise, it really depends on what you buy. Some items require you to buy in multiple of 2 or 3 or even a dozen. Not all items are in bulk or sold in multiples of many. I can find better prices elsewhere for most of the items here. I am guessing that is why the store is never busy.

I sometimes come here to buy plastic disposable gloves among other items for food prep. It's like a…read moremini costco where it's basically a big warehouse and everything is on very large shelves. Unlike Costco, you DON'T have to buy a membership in order to buy stuff here. It's entirely optional. The membership includes perks like member only discounts though. Typical of warehouse stores, a lot of the items are packaged in bulk. For example, you can buy a 6 pack of giant condiment bottles instead of just one pack. Another thing is some discounts are only given if you buy multiples. For example, a bottle of sweet chili sauce goes for $4. But if you buy 4 or more, you get 50 cents off each bottle. All in all, this place is really good for people who buy in bulk. One small negative is that the price tags are hard to find. I came with old relatives who had to look very carefully for the price tags because they were jumbled up with other product price tags for other items that were nearby. Other times, you would have to stoop to the very bottom and peek under a not so see-through plastic lining partly covering the price tags. Also, some prices are more expensive than other grocery stores. I didn't buy a 12 pack of pop here because they were more expensive than other places. Came around 8pm and the checkout line was long. It stretched to the middle of the whole store. The line moved relatively fast and I got to the checkout lane 10-12 minutes later. They have a Walmart style checkout line where one giant line is for 4-5 checkout tills. As far as I know, there are no self checkout lines at this store. Staff here are pretty nice. I forgot an item and they let me run to get it and come back. They chatted about personal stuff with another staff member as they rang my stuff up though. Interestingly, even though Wholesale Club is a sister store of No Frills and Superstore, you CANNOT earn optimum points but you can redeem them here. At least that was what I was told by the cashier at the time. All in all, I would come back once in a while for the restaurant or food prep supplies which aren't really sold in other stores or buy items i need in bulk and get a small discount. 3 out of 5 stars.

We went right when they opened on a weekday and there were maybe 5 customers. It was so zen! A completely different experience than the local Costco experience. As advertised, they had a lot products for restaurants like commercial equipment, commercial sized oils, large units of takeout container necessities. There are overlaps with the local Costco though in terms of snacks, sauces and other home goods like shelving. It was the same price. Their fridge was our favourite part though. The meats are in bulk and there's ungraded ones too, which they don't sell at the local Costco. Overall, loved it here. It's going to be the go to place for bulk meats. Loads of parking and no need to fight for spots.

Finally made it there recently, shortly past 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon. The experience is kind of in between that of a normal Costco and that of a...well, Business Centre. A lot of stuff is the same stuff you'd see in a normal Costco, and then other stuff is much larger than your average Costco. A lot of stuff is already quite large even at an average Costco so here it's even larger. Tofu for example...I saw the biggest pack of tofu I'd ever seen. Never even occurred to me before that tofu could come that large. Meat and Dairy were both in a separate room about triple the size of the produce room that one might normally walk into for a regular Costco. There's no food court, no bakery section, not clothing section, no books section, no toy section, no prepared meals like Sheperd's pie, and I didn't see any frozen desserts through any of the freezer doors. I really just came to pass some time and check it out. Was tempted to buy some stuff but in the end I didn't cuz...well, I really didn't need any of it. Don't think this is a place I need to come to very often unless I happen to be in the neighbourhood already for the Value Village next door or the Queensborough Landing shops nearby. I'm good with regular Costco.
