Things were nicely placed and always good customer service. Only thing prices on some of the things were high. Good local store!

From the moment I stepped in, the welcoming atmosphere and organized layout immediately caught my attention. The wide variety of fresh produce, high-quality meats, and well-stocked shelves made my shopping experience not just convenient but also enjoyable.The staff members were not only friendly but also knowledgeable, readily assisting me with any inquiries. The cleanliness and orderliness of the store showcased a dedication to maintaining a pleasant shopping environment. The exceptional service, product variety, and overall positive ambiance make it a standout choice in the community. I wholeheartedly recommend this store to anyone seeking a top-notch grocery shopping experience.

Medium size grocery store. There is an old John Deere tractor on display over the vegetables ?

Great place to shop for groceries, but prices are higher than larger outlets.

I paid very close attention to pricing at the 49th before crossing over to CG due to the fact that I find CG to be overly priced to begin with. Not surprised that most items, unless on sale, have increased in prices substantially. Stopped in today and the sales were very limited but what was shocking was the price of watermelon, $14.99! When I got home I checked every grocery store online between Duncan and Nanaimo and CG is the highest priced.Ladysmith and Chemainus are small communities with little in the way of competition. Ladysmith has Save On Foods whereas Chemainus only has CG. For people who are unable to travel to Duncan or Nanaimo for more reasonably priced groceries, those on fixed or low income are restricted to CG and their almost criminal pricing.

So disappointed in CG. Bread and bun sections, nothing is fresh. Every package I checked was hard and stiff. Found that it is baked in Chase River store but unfortunately by the time it gets here is isn't fresh! Also meat department is really gouging, I bought packages of breaded pork cutlets last week and a few more this week, (comparable in weight) to last weeks. Last weeks cost $2.81 and 2.99. This week 4.99 and 4.75. That is a ridiculous amount to add n a few short days. I will be shopping elsewhere. :( .

Bought a few items at 50% off at till, they were never taken off at till and unfortunately didn't check till we got home. Very pricey, good quality produce.

Not sure why everyone is complaining about the switch over- We happen to love it, as we hated the 49th store & would never shop there as it was way overpriced and had low quality items.CG is the opposite, they also have great deals!! Shop the flyers!Would love an "ugly" produce section for lower prices & maybe the option to have unwrapped produce would be awesome- But that's an every store change I wish would happen not just here.Please ignore all the old people complaining... The newer/younger generations loves having country grocer!Happy we don't have to drive to nanaimo or cobble hill now for CG!

49th was a fantastic grocery store, and I really do love the Country Grocer in Chase River, but the Country Grocer takeover in Ladysmith has been profoundly disappointing.We used to have a store that carried a fantastic selection of products including things that are hard to find here on the island, allergy friendly products and great local products and we could do all our shopping in one place. We can barely do half our shopping here now. It's a deluge of corporate brands and TV sets with a about a quarter of the diversity of products.They got rid of smaller shopping carts in a small store where large carts are a huge hindrance. It feels like management never even bothered to look at the actual store or its demographic in any way.

Unfortunately the fruit in the produce section is often left on shelves and sold while actively mouldy.Now that they are turning into a Country Grocer, the most affordable products have dissapeared and are being replaced by more expensive alternatives.Staff are always lovely. Would love to see a self checkout so I can go at my own pace.
