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.

I really don't like how the new parking lot is. It feels like it causes more congestion. I had to…read moreprocess a few returns from different receipts and was helped pretty shortly after my arrival. The shelves are always well stocked and I had no issues finding the items I came for. I bought a whole rotisserie chicken and intentionally bought one that was slightly lighter in color. Unfortunately, when I was eating it, I noticed some parts could have been cooked a touch longer, so I thought it best to cook the chicken a bit more. My cashier was friendly and talkative. She continued our conversation even after I finished paying. I give this visit 3 stars, but if it weren't for the chicken issue, I would have rated this 4 stars.

They have a lot of everything. You also get few hundred steps, as the store is large. Two thing I like about them the most. First, their bulk food section is so good, one can spend an hour just there. Second, their fresh salad can't be beaten. It's large and often goes on sale. Most of the time the checkout line looks longer than bread lines in the old Soviet Union, but the line moves fast. Customer service is the "luck of the draw," so be prepared. The parking lot is large enough to even accommodate the Thanksgiving and Christmas crowds.

Late delivery of orders (multiple days) with a kind older man who is alone and unable to unload larger items that are shipped on pallets and obviously loaded with either a pallet jack or a forklift. Apparently "curb side" service means the truck pulls up to the curb and then it's up to the owners to unload their order. Not the drivers fault at all. I was contracted to site manage the renovation and tried twice to reach the owners representative without any callback, even though I left a message to try and find out when the owners order would arrive. I had not talked to this rep previously so my message asking for some information could have been from anyone of her customers as far as she would know, and no call back. This would appear the norm rather than a missed call to a client to their or their contractor. The upfront people who answer phone and try to assist are friendly and helpful and the drivers as well. Other than that, poor representation, lack of call backs and no way to safely unload orders onto the "curb" I would not recommend this company if this is how they treat all their clients.
