I never walk into a Giant Tiger brimming with huge expectations, because let's face it..some Giant…read moreTiger stores are ghetto enough to be scary. So I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into this location and found it to be very spacious, clean and well laid out. I bought a huge bag of low quality socks for $10, which made me pretty happy. Of course, there are the usual rows of low quality, low nutritional value food items...but at those prices its to be expected. They had a few different nick nacks that I found interesting, but they looked very poorly put together, and I'm pretty sure if some of the items you buy cost even 1c, you still wouldn't get your moneys worth. But all of that is just the nature of the Giant Tiger chain and brand, and not the location itself, which I really liked for it's clean, welcoming feel. So if your budget is on a shoestring, I really recommend this GT location.

So believe me when I tell you, I know a good thrift store when I see one. This place could be a 5 star location if it had a better shoe and bag section. You can tell these two sections are always small, not a lot of space was designated for them. I was so excited to visit a Frenchy's.. A true Frenchy's close to home. I had amazing luck in the sweater department, and honestly it's where I concentrated most of my searching. So I can't tell you how good the shirts or skirt bins where. As you can see from my photos, I found many of my favourite brand names. I was pumped! I went through the dresses and jackets, but came up empty handed. The selection was there, lots to choose from, just nothing to my taste. The store is large enough to keep me coming back. Although it's close, it's not that close. A bit of a drive from downtown to lower Sackville, but I would say it's worth it. The upside is there is lots of parking, I also like that the price of the clothing is listed on the bin labels (see photos). The complete price list is in the fitting rooms Incase you're wondering. Also, the dressing rooms are clean and very large. Large enough to try on the whole store if you like! The whole store is very clean! I can't wait to go back.

I really miss Safeway and their particular way of doing things, but I think thats more out of homesickness than due to them really being any better..

Since I live in the US, its still difficult for me to stomach the exorbitant prices of everything, but that aside I still think they do a great job and I love how well organized and clean everything seems to be.

The staff was friendly and the best part of this experience is that the isles were not filled with boxes that they stock the shelves with.

Also just a short jaunt off the 102. I am, however, re-evaluating my choice to pick this branch as my default place to buy food, and have found myself more and more using the larger, newer and better stocked Sobeys at the Larry Uteck exit off the 102. But back to this location, access can be a bit of a nightmare during rush hour since both HP rd and the Beford Hwy can get super backed up, and the surrounding intersections become hazardous to say the least when traffic peaks. The inside of the store seems new and bright, though the layout is a bit more confusing than other Sobeys. This could possibly be due to recent renovations, having to overlay a new layout over old infrastructure. Other than that, the staff are super friendly and seem to enjoy working there, which is always a good sign.

The seafood and butcher's area is always clean and well presented, and the meat is delicious. They also have an excellent "Hippy Section", as I've always called it, full of healthy foods and ethical household supplies. I can't think of anything majorly wrong with this location. Sometimes they dont have everything I need (Artichokes, why are you never here?) but they come pretty darn close. It can be a bit tricky to finds things sometimes, but if you've ever played a point-and-click game, you can usually deduce where everything is. No basil in the the herb section? Check with the tomatoes up front. Can't find the pancake batter? Check with the syrup, not with baking. It's either a fun brain teaser, or a deeply frustrating exercise, depending on your mood. Plus the cashiers are always hilarious, which is always a bonus!

There are pillows in there for example - just two pieces of fabric sewn together and stuffed, nothing fancy - for over thirty bucks. In this economy? There are things up about the store that also refer to Canada as "Turtle Island", which is preachy and a colonizer term (colonists brought maps from above and the "Turtle Island" thing is contentious and offensive to other Indigenous tribes that don't adhere to this term for Canada). I was only able to afford a pinback button (an ace flag, I love ace representation!) and a second-hand Beanie Baby because most of the new merch was so expensive. Friendlier environment than Strange Adventures, and I loved how kind and approachable the staff were. To be fair, this is a somewhat recently-established shop in comparison with its competition, and so the price thing might just be teething troubles, but nobody in this economic climate could afford to buy much here.

If you don't care about that, the selection of furniture is small, but very good quality with some neat retro stuff as well as more modern furniture. I have suggested to the manager that employees don't wear cologne, scented hand cream, etc. so that it's easier to tell if the furniture has fragrance in it. For me, fragrance chemicals are a deal breaker.

On December 23rd, 2022, I was shopping at this Canadian Tire in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, and witnessed a senior staff member telling a young staff to just go lay her head down on the table and see if she felt any better. The staff looked very sick and in visible discomfort. I then overheard several of the staff gossiping about the sick staff member and talking about her needing to "learn her lesson." I don't know what inspired that, if they thought she should have given more notice that she was sick or if they thought she was hung over or what, but I could not believe that post covid pandemic, they would not let a sick staff go home and then would talk about her in a group. The staff must have noticed me staring at them, because then they followed me around the store. No less then 4 different staff came up to me, one after the other, in different aisles as I browsed for Christmas sales, asking me if I needed any assistance. It was very disturbing and intimidating. I understand that Christmas is very stressful for retail staff, but the bullying behavior of the staff towards their sick colleague was something I just can't forget and why I am writing this review.

If you're looking for respite from the…read morenever-ending monotony that is shopping at the regular grocery stores, I definitely recommend it here. When you walk into the store, the first thing you notice is all the British imported food and snack items.. Reminds me a lot of my childhood and I usually buy something for nostalgia sake. Right beyond that is beverage display case with all sorts of drinks you'd rarely see elsewhere. I especially enjoy their local and import ginger beer selection, as well as Ribena. Beyond that the store is a mixture of exotic cheeses, excellent produce, a deli, health food aisles and the British butchery. This butchery is especially known for its Nova Scotia lamb, which is the best I've bought anywhere around here. The beef steaks are a close second. Needless to say, due to the nature of the products sold here, the prices are exorbitant.. I keep Pete's as a treat to go buy a few luxury food items if I haven't entirely blown my food budget for the month. If my budget hasn't been blown yet, it's sure to be so once I'm done at the Frootique. While many of the items are quite unique, there are many food items that are..items which can be purchased at your regular grocery store for half the price (ie. many of the dairy products). I also think the space the store occupies is much too small... you constantly feel like you're in a traffic jam trying to navigate the narrowly jam packed aisles, and always a hair breadth away from knocking things over.. the store is so cramped, I picture knocking something over as having a domino effect.. dropped a bag of chips?...there goes the whole aisle. The check out staff are fast, friendly and on the ball with keeping registers open. I don't necessarily see this as good customer service, though... since the store is so cramped, if long lines were to form then customers in line to pay would take up half the retail space (I've seen this happen here more than once). I definitely recommend this place, though, even if just to window shop. You might discover something new on every visit.
