We had the opportunity to drop into this Mediterranean and Persian grocery for a first-time look…read morerecently, while browsing/shopping a few stores in Burquitlam Plaza, before heading to lunch in the area. Some of my first look observations: - overall freshness of some of the produce (fruits & veggies) lacked appeal -- some decent finds, but root veggies, and such, had definitely long passed any 'date' for me to consider purchasing. - good, large, and highly-varied selections of canned, bottled, and otherwise packaged Mediterranean products. - nice looking selection of Mediterranean breads. - good looking, quality selections of Halal, fresh, and prepared meats and poultry - chicken, lamb, sausages (some beef, and beef w/cheese, sure looked good), and such - and some smoked fish (whole, smoked whitefish sure caught my eye). - I thought prices for brand name products I know and use, were rather high -- but I am unable to relate to the prices of most of the other stuff, as they are mostly specialty products I do not know. I am glad to have had the chance at that time to pop into this store for look -- I'm a big fan of these "small, local, neighbourhood" stores. Hope to have the opportunity for another look soon, and with what I saw this time, have some solid ideas of what I will be looking for that visit!

We went on the second day after grand opening and the place was super packed. We have noticed they had a lot of Indian specialty items. The isles are very wide. Prices were definitely cheaper. There is a giant parking lot out front. Another great thing about Freshco is that they are beside the bus loop. Super convenient. We are happy this place opened up.
