Amazing store and amazing people running it. It’s really nice to have a Bodega style shop in Nanaimo, from the fresh meats and produce to the special American pops they get in, they always stock up on the good shiii. Can’t recommend this place enough!

But of a neighborhood gem, they sell grocery items, snacks, drinks, lottery and tobacco. Can even find drinks that aren't commonly found in standard chain stores. The family that owns and runs the place is very kind

10/10 amazing people, great place to shop. Friendly family mom and pop style shop. If they don't have what you're looking for they will probably try to include it in their next order ??

I used to shop at this store when I was a kid, after 40 years this store still here and with Long and Minh taking care of it for the past 5 years it’s fantastic corner store to come to, very hard working couple. Good people make a difference.

It's nice to have a corner ma and pa store to shop at. Keep it in the community and not the big box store.

The place has become an excellent source of Asian food products. And conveniently nearby. Plus they still have all the trappings of a corner store

Added Dec 8 2022:New owners (for a few years now) are wonderful, kind, friendly, and fair. They still roast the excellent and well-priced beef in-store and prepare fresh sandwiches daily. There is also a standing freezer full of hard-to-find meats, fish, etc (frog legs, durian pulp, eel, shellfish, snails) well-organized and stocked. If you’re looking for something you can’t find in a chain grocery it’s very much worth coming to Townsite Grocery for a look here.Real neighborhood corner store atmosphere. Charming owners and staff, always helpful. Fresh coffee in the pot, friendly faces, it’s become a genuine hub of the community.[Original review from 2018 for prior ownership:Owner cooks the roast beef sold in the deli section (for less than most chain stores) himself, and it is the most luscious roast beef I've ever had. The sub sandwiches prepacked in the cooler are made daily in the store and simple but very good. They can also do you a sandwich to order for prices comparable to Subway. The breaded pork cutlets in the freezer the owner also prepares himself,breading and all, and are a fantastic deal.The staff can occasionally come across as gruff but they deal with a lot of trouble in the area and tend to focus on safety and detecting potential problems rather than obsequious customer service, but I find that refreshing. I'd rather have an honest 'grump' than some poor soul being forced to be "friendly and engaging' by their faceless parent corporation.It is a corner store, and of course things are priced a bit higher because they don't have the power of a buyer's group that the big chain stores have, but it's a neighbourhood corner grocery with nearly everything you'd need.]
