We were in and out quickly and with such good-hearted and friendly service. This place just brings you back to a warm place where you remember that life should be easy and simple! The morning after our trip to the river we sent a friend to grab stuff for our camp. We were making coffee when we realized we forgot cups and knew our friend wouldn't have cell service to get our call. We tried calling Berry's to leave a message for him and they didn't answer. But guess what: they called BACK. Who would do that? Just shows what a nice and friendly place this is and the type of people you'll be surrounded by there. My one disclaimer is that their wrapped sandwich options can be limited, but if you stick to breakfast and snacks you'll be satisfied. ...Don't forget to grab beverages and ice for when you're floating in the lower!

This small store sells…read moreliquor, tobacco products, jewelry, watches, fragrances, candy, snacks, and a few other gifts. The selection here is limited with some items on the pricey side. You can save a lot of $$$ on the liquor and cigarettes. The candy prices are pretty good: 2 large Toblerone Chocolate bars (2 for $3) and assorted cream filled cookies from Sweden ($1 each). You are allowed to buy items here only if you are heading into Canada from the US. The cashier will ask for your name and vehicle license plate number for tracking purposes. If you are a US citizen, you have to declare your purchases here when you reenter the US. I only wish that this duty free store on the US side offered currency exchange like the Atlantic Travel Centre (duty free store) on the Canadian side does. I had to go through some hoops to exchange my US Dollars to Canadian money and loonies.

The duty free store here offers liquor, tobacco, beer, jewelry, watches, Swiss Army knives, fragrances, snacks, candy, Canada souvenirs, collectibles, apparel, and other gifts. The selection here is better than the Duty Free Americas in nearby Houlton ME and the prices are pretty good. They carry cases of Moosehead Canadian Beer and my favorite Canadian Maple Fudge, woo-hoo!! The currency exchange counter offers competitive exchange rates to the banks in the Woodstock area. The Go Food counter offers beverages, cereals, baked goods, sandwiches, and ice cream bars. This store caters to travelers heading west from Canada into the US. If you are a US citizen, you have to declare your purchases here when you reenter the US. Okay so I just entered Canada from the US and NEEDED CANADIAN MONEY!!! What do I do next with my US MONEY??? Instead of trying to find a bank in Woodstock, NB, I got off at the first exit and headed back west on Highway 95 towards the US border so I could visit the Maritime Exchange to exchange my US Dollars to Canadian Dollars and Loonies. However, I exited the travel plaza and had to cross the highway and GO THROUGH CANADIAN CUSTOMS AGAIN. I told the agent I had entered Canada about 45 minutes before and I just visited the westbound store to exchange currency only. I was grilled a bit and let through again. I knew I was not allowed to purchase duty free items from the store since I was not going back to the US. Bummer man, because this store had some really cool sh-t! But I did find the same products in the local stores. I had to pay the 13% HST for my Canadian Maple Fudge candies, but I couldn't resist.

Visiting Old Town Hannaford is painful in many ways, all of which imply a negative leadership or…read morecorporate attitude towards customers. Some things that make patronizing this business a poor experience: -Navigating the aisles and accessing food is CHALLENGING due to pallets waiting to be stocked and the stockers blocking the aisles and/or access to products. It is rare for them to notice customers trying to get to products. This is true at peak hours and in high traffic aisles (dairy case). One might surmise that they don't care. -There is no easy way to get help, especially help finding things. There is no customer service desk. Stockers are not helpful beyond saying " I think that might be in aisle 5". The Website is not accurate. -The pharmacy is SLOW. It is not uncommon for you to be ignored at the window while staff chats. The pharmacy also closes mid-afternoon, apparently for lunch. Imagine the implications for some people.... -Check out lines are long, long, long. Checkers are often slow. -When I took the opportunity to tell the store manager about the difficulty I had accessing products because of pallets blocking access he said "That ain't gonna change". No empathy, no apology, nothing.

It's been very difficult to get my list of allergies (most of which are ANAPHYLAXIS) right. There's probably more I'm forgetting. Attempts to contact the parent company about issues lead nowhere.
