“Same vibes as the original store, had exactly what I was looking for and I hadn't been there since the change in business name. Staff are helpful and friendly.”
“Very good grocery store with fine fresh produce, decent bakery, fairly good meat quality and selection and very competitive pricing. Poor fish and seafood selection.”
“The store is very well organized and is very clean. We were able to find everything pretty straightforward as we were from out of town and got everything we needed in a short amount of time.”
“Really cute shop, one of my first shopping experiences after moving to SSI for work.
The sausage rolls are to die for, and the booze selection is fantastic. As another bonus, it was the only place I was able to buy a corkscrew (the 5th place I tried) and the service was kind and quirky, much like the island itself.
I'll be back.”
“This market is primarily staffed by first Nations from the area, and it is one reason I go shopping there. I like to be connected to these communities, and I find that the service is heart felt, and people are just so helpful they are!”
“Good supply of fresh produce and grocery items. However some produce was priced higher as well as household staples. The cashiers were all friendly and worked the tills well and quickly. However the lineups grew longer at peak hour....not enough checkout
cashiers. The hot food deli section was lacking their product...empty containers. The frozen products were stocked well. The butter prices were priced higher than other grocery.”
“Thrift’s gift baskets: Overall ober the years Thrifty’s has provided great service for creation of their gift baskets. From time to time certain substitutions were allowed related to dietary needs and requirements. These days you need to give 48 hours notice and they do not do substitutions at all. Great service however the aspect of flexibility around substitutions has changed. Employees are mostly friendly. They may be the most consistent basket creator in the area but if you need something specific, you need to go with a specialty store who delivers to the area.”
