Country Grocer is a family-owned and operated grocery chain with multiple locations across Vancouver Island and Salt Spring Island. Customers praise the stores' great selection of food and very courteous staff. The stores also feature a pharmacy, deli, and adjacent liquor store, making it a convenient one-stop shop. When visiting Salt Spring Island, Country Grocer is considered the place to go for groceries. The stores have an excellent selection of grocery items, plus additional offerings like a coffee shop and ready-to-eat options. Customers appreciate the 10% Tuesday discount, including on sale items, which allows them to stock up on favorites like the discounted coffee. While the stores generally receive positive reviews, some customers note issues like missing price tags and a cramped, congested parking lot, especially on busy days. One reviewer raised serious concerns about a potential fire hazard in the cafe area that the management has failed to address, urging customers to be aware of this safety issue. Overall, Country Grocer is regarded as a fantastic local grocery option providing quality products, services, and community support across Vancouver Island.
Lots of variety. Always good deals. Random stuff that comes and goes. Not always consistent but cool to have a bit more diversity. Meat seems to be cheaper at Thriftys more often than not.

Great presentation of the produce section. Many ready-made healthy meals available at eye level. Well done.
