After…read morestruggling through the entrance door, which is not handicap friendly, we were greeted by empty display cases, and a disinterested woman who asked what we were looking for. We told her, and she said they have no flower arrangements until tomorrow. So we asked about cut flowers, and were told the same thing. So we were in a flower shop with no flowers, and the woman couldn't have cared less. And she walked away, leaving a senior pushing another senior in a wheelchair to struggle awkwardly out their manual door again. If you and your staff want to encourage repeat business here, this is NOT the way to do it. There are other places to buy flowers in Nanaimo, and that is where we will shop from now on.

THREE CHEERS FOR THRIFTY FOODS' ONLINE SHOPPING & DELIVERY SERVICE!…read more I no longer drive, so being able to shop online is a Godsend.

After a recent ferry arrival in Nanaimo, we went downtown for a little sightseeing before heading…read moresouth. We found this gift shop via a walkabout of the shops, sights, and sounds of a portion of the Harbourfront Walkway. A small and rather 'cute' place, offering a very decent selection of affordable gifts and such. But have to admit, it was the name of the shop that really caught 'my' interest, and beckoned me inside. Having lived several years in Newfoundland, and now here in Nanaimo - how could I resist! The ladies enjoyed their browsing, while I enjoyed chatting with the owner. Nothing bought (some "fun & funky" acrylic slugs sure came close!), but regardless, a fun and enjoyable visit before we headed south.
