TL;DR/The Short Version: The only FreshCo in Orleans. Lots…read moreof imported products. Big, bright and clean. Not too crowded. The Long Version: I went here with my mom to check out some items on sale in their flyers. My dad doesn't like going here because it's a bit farther from their home than other grocery stores. I don't mind driving, so while I was visiting I offered to take my mom to places my dad doesn't usually take her. The first thing I noticed is that it's not crowded like Walmart, The Real Canadian Superstore or Your Independent Grocer, which is where they usually go. That alone, I feel is worth driving a little farther for, lol. There were plenty of parking spots available, even on a weekend. The store is relatively new. It opened in July of 2023. Fun fact: it was the 99th FreshCo to open in Ontario. It's bright and clean. I like FreshCo for it's large selection of imported products. They had lots of British items imported from the UK. And lots of European items from places like Poland, Finland, Ukraine, and Switzerland. They have products from Asia too, including India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam and Korea. Their house brand is called Compliments and is not bad. Their reward points system is Scene which admittedly I hate since you don't get points per dollar spent like other reward points systems but only points for certain items at certain times. Of note, they were sold out of the flyer items my mom wanted, but we still enjoyed poking around and we got other stuff there for a good price. (208)

This IGA - aside from being amazing in all the ways I described in my original review - seems to be setting the standard for how to properly operate under the current conditions so I wanted to share in the hopes of other grocery stores following their lead. When you arrive here, all the doors are closed except for one and when you enter that one there's a portable handwashing station like you'd see outside portopotties at a festival. So everyone is washing their hands as they enter. Then they are given a cart which has just been wiped down by the staff. Staff are also circulating wiping down the handles of fridge doors etc. Cashiers are using sanitizer between every customer and as you leave your cart is immediately wiped down again. This loving attention will save lives in our community and I really really appreciate it.

It's really a shame they cannot come to la belle province, Mais c'est ca! Back 10 years ago I got my wife hooked on the lemon garlic salad dressing! To this day it's her favourite salad dressing and we try to buy a case (of 12) twice a year! They have an excellent produce selection, seafood, cold cuts, and cool sauces and house brand Farm Boy brand + and excellent bakery! I've noticed they have boned up on prepared foods and have one of the biggest selection I have seen on K-cups for Keurig! It's really a shame we couldn't have FB in Montreal as it excels at providing a different yet fresh and cool selection of different products! We will keep coming back for the salad dressing and other goods because they are so tasty and awesome!

You have to order ahead of time though because it takes about the an hour for it to be ready. I got the Mixed Platter for my parents and I for lunch and it was great! The Mixed Platter is $45 and it comes with 4 beef kababs, 4 chicken kababs, 4 ground meat kafta, rice, salad, hummus and garlic sauce. My dad was super disappointed that it didn't come with pita or naan bread, but he got over it, lol. The meats were fantastic. The beef was so tender and the chicken was juicy, despite being lean chicken breast meat. They were big pieces of meat too and I love that the kebabs were mostly meat and not mostly vegetable fillers like onions. The only vegetable on the kebabs was green peppers and they were tasty. The kafta were flavourful and good, but I preferred the other kababs better. The salad was romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and green peppers. All vegetables were fresh. I liked that the dressing automatically came on the side so the salad wasn't soggy. The rice was soft and fluffy but a bit too greasy for my liking. My dad (who loves carbs) felt that there was not enough rice. I agree that the rice was minimal; there was just a very thin layer of rice under the meats. The garlic was creamy, rich and potent. The hummus was smooth. I enjoyed them both. Service was courteous. The place looked clean and the shelves were well stocked. I didn't look around too much though. I would buy their platters again. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

I would stay loyal to Costco except that the nearest one to us is about 2 hours away. So, we had…read moreto sign up with BJ's in Massena which is roughly half an hour away. The basics are there, especially for my purposes (diapers, juice box, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.). But there seems a lack of real variety here. I've never been to any other BJ's so I don't know if the absence of a food station is a standard. If you get caught with hunger pangs in the middle of your shopping, McDonald's (or Taco Bell) might be your only choice for a quick fix (or wish hard for free samples). Positives: It never gets crowded and they have their own gas station. And I can pay with cash, debit or even credit (which I can't in Costco or Sam's Club). Negative: No food service area; food items aren't updated (so be cautious about expiration dates!) and it can be very creepy inside because it can be very empty even on a weekend.
