The store owners are most kind and thoughtful and they gave me outstanding personal assistance so I got my complicated, quirky document made, printed and faxed out....on a deadline which had made me nervous... but once in the store I felt I was receiving skilfull assistance with great kindness. If I ever need a phone case or any in-person tech-support, I will be back at Ganges Stationery & Tech!

Due to not being able to find the right glasses for my face in store, I purchased a pair on line. Risky business. When they arrived 2 sizes to big, with no return, I was not happy. Then, remembering the service I had received in prior years, thought, " I bet Iris on Beacon can help me ". And without question, they did. Treating me like a local loyal customer, regardless of my mistaken purchase on line.

The store was well stocked, clean and had friendly people working. A couple tried helping us when we didn't ask and were good finding what we wanted. They have 2 kiosks near the front with a few souvenir items but no postcards. The cashier tried ringing us up for something the person ahead of us had, and the separation bar was there. They ran after the customer to get it to them, leaving us and the rest of the line waiting for a few minutes. Great that they wanted to help them, but should have called for someone else to do that instead of leaving 10 people in line.

Decent place but always crazy busy, including the parking lot, when I stop by in the afternoons or…read moreevenings. As someone that uses a cane, I do worry about this. As many drivers are distracted trying to see signs, navigating their way to coffee fix and with this oddly laid out but decent sized parking lot it makes it a bit of a take a risk to shop vibe. As I do find the layout is an accident waiting to happen, I try to assess the busy level by driving by to do other things before going here. So far this is a good strategy for my mobility. The grocery itself is conviently located off the main highway and for Duncan, it is halfway along the drive itself. So nice to have a grocery in that area as you can easily add it along your stops. Food is always well stocked and place is well kept up. I always enjoy seeing their seasonal dispalys (turn right and near the floral area is usually where you'll notice the creation). Great selection of items like at any Thrifty's place but I do have to say for price point, I don't feel like it is a cheaper option (like the name might suggest to some). Staff is always friendly and quick to help if you have a question but you don't see a lot on the floor. So there was a few times I would buy vitamins and supplements if I had help locating them but there was no one to be found. That definitely could be an improvement being that they make an effort to stock so much for that section. I really do like their take away items for single people and always find something new to try when I'm shopping. Sometimes even as a gift for a friend. Overall a decent place to shop. Just be mindful of that parking lot situation.

The owner is an eclectic lady who has created such a unique store with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling treasures.

I am grateful to have a special store like this to pop into and I know I will always leave with something beautiful.

My daughter loved the store. I purchased something. We came back to eat near there and I went down to look again, store was closed but mentioned the one up the street. So again I brought my daughter. She loved some cat ears so she was holding them til we were ready to buy. I even said don't let us walk out without paying, as the store has a lot going on and I didn't want to forget. We went to the other side I noticed the woman behind the counter (not the one from the other day) had just happened to come up there and was looking around. My daughter found a purse she wanted to match the ears but before we could go swap the ears, the woman asked me and ONLY me, "was I done yet" I said no I'm not she proceeded to say "okay well I'll hold those behind the counter till you're ready". Are you kidding me? The ears were $5 the purse was $15. This is not "valuables". It rubbed me the wrong way completely and if my daughter wasn't so happy with them, I would have left the stuff and walked out. It left a bad taste in my mouth. You implying I would, what, steal? In front of my 5 year old daughter? Really disappointing.
