Really enjoyed finding this gem. They carry lots of great local and hand crafted items in addition…read moreto some more brand name items you might find in many kitchen or gift shops. There is a small room with books that seemed to offer some unique options as well. They have an amazing restaurant on the top floor which I had no idea was there but now am a regular at. 100% recommend the food here! Only thing is that it's a bit expensive for some items, though most of the hand crafted stuff that interested me primarily was pretty fairly priced.

It's quite obvious to me that Holly visited Country Lites on what appears to have been a really bad…read moretime for the owner if in fact it was the owner and not a member of the Staff. I have been driving to Sylvan for a number of years to shop at this lovely Country Store. I have ALWAYS been treated with nothing less than professionalism, friendliness and helpfulness. The shop is full of merchandise to decorate your home or cottage with a country style. There is nothing in this store that spells dollar store so I believe Holly is not being honest in her views. If you had a bad experience then I feel bad for both you and your husband but again I will state that you are lying about what the shop has to offer. Nice try though!

Like rocks? Gems? Fossils? Have I found the place for you. It's 6 rooms of stones and fossils of…read moreall sizes and shapes. You can get fossilized shark teeth, quartz, jade, pictures stone and SO much more. The staff is super helpful and just about as excited about talking about rocks as you are to buy them. The prices are a lot lower than I had expected and we came out with so many more rocks that I had intended.

The labour board needs to investigate this place. They have an unprecedented turnover rate and will…read morefire you with no notice right before the holidays as they've done with entire departments before, but they'll be sure to inform your entire team before you are even made aware. On the "road," you only get breaks if there's time, despite standing for 12 hours straight. They will make you re-sign a part time contract despite promising you full time and benefits. A coworker of mine worked 50+ hour weeks without a raise or a full time contract. Workload is massive and unfair for $16/hr. They mostly hire young people that they can manipulate easily, especially for the shows. When 8 people phone in sick after teardown, there is obviously a core problem in the company but you just laughed. The owners create an extremely suppressive environment. They gaslight, victim blame, lie, gossip, lovebomb, micromanage, avoid reflection, and never take accountability. There is no diversity, safety or trust, but there is a constant fear of retribution. It makes you wonder why there's no HR department. They use fear as motivation as the rules only exist to keep us in line. They are microaggressive and expect workaholic behaviour but provide no opportunities of forward movement. There is immense leadership gossip and favouritism. Regular employees are not allowed boundaries. The owners are malicious and secretive. They insist on silence as employees are on a need to know basis. We are not to discuss wages, hour cuts, contracts, and/or red flags or we will be punished. They gossip about former employees and even harassed one and used it to blackmail them. They lie about pricing and overcharge people and expect us not to tell them, and they create fake sales for profit. They lie about unethical sourcing to customers and employees. They undermine serious health hazards on a daily basis. One coworkers hours were cut to one day a week after she claimed WCB when a product fell on her head causing a concussion, and another coworker got blood poisoning from their failure to explain the risks of lead-based minerals. The owners spend the majority of their time managing their ego over their vision, and personal interest always comes before collective good. They told us the store was losing money so they had to pay us out of their savings, but can afford to buy a house and a boat on Vancouver Island and a helicopter. They intentionally use unclear communication to cover their own disorganization and to place the blame elsewhere. These people need their business license revoked for abusing their entire workforce. Even the customers are beginning to notice their arrogance and disrespect whenever they meet them. I am truly disgusted with this company's practices and will rejoice when they are finally closed indefinitely.

Considering the number of boutique-like that shops in Sylvan Lake that focuses on higher-end…read moreclothing for men and women, one wouldn't think that a clothing store that is in conjunction with a grocery store has anything remotely interesting, but in this case I will tell you that you are wrong. When I am intent on finding something interesting to wear, I make sure I stop in Cobb's because more often than not, I walk out with a purchase and usually at a reasonable price because the sale rack or the sales are really good. The best part of the deal is that I don't have to get my butt to Red Deer of Calgary to brave the crowded malls and stores. I am going to confess that I am not the thinnest girl in the crowd so my Sylvan boutique shopping experiences have left me feeling sort of disenchanted because I am usually just shy of fitting whats on the rack. But Cobb's is my exception to the rule. Its selection has something for everyone. It ranges from young and trendy to old lady chic that goes from casual to dressy. It carries shoes, accessories and has a nice selection of swimwear. It even carries body shaping undergarments. There is also a selection of casual menswear, but the sore is most geared towards women. The staff is friendly and helpful. I've found myself coming in to the store, looking for items and having the staff helping me search the racks and bring me some nice clothing pieces to try on in the dressing room. I'll note that the regular prices are generally higher end, but if you keep an eye out for their promotions and/or take a peek in the discount section, you can find yourself a steal of a deal. If you are in Sylvan, ladies especially, this store is definitely worth a look.
