“I went to foodland today to order subs .I have to say the service I had with the young lady I think her name is Katie, that made all three did an excellent job! She was nice polite and it didn't take her very long, she even reminded about the 2 free sides that came with it.
Thank you so much!”
“Very cute little locally owned shop.
We got some flowers and pepper plants for the balcony and they look great!
Their produce was good and they also have a good selection of foreign snacks and drinks.”
“They are a good neighborhood grocery store where they have most of everything that you are looking for except Bothwell Cheese Gouda. I looked the store up on Google, and it said that they had the cheese, so I went there to look for it, and unfortunately, they don't carry it. Great store and friendly people that work in there. Excellent service!”
“This will be a neighborhood staple for as long as its around. While I find the prices pretty expensive, the location and friendliness of the staff make up for it. I always see the owner being chatty and asking for customers' feedback on new products, which is so refreshing to see. Additionally, there's been a couple times now where I've been given a great discount - once was because an avocado was slightly overripe, and the worker offered a discount without us even saying anything. The next time was for a box of macaroni that was expired, and they gave it to us for free :)”
“I can see why it got its name. They have alot of pop flavours you won't find elsewhere. I also won on the only scratch off i ever bought there. 9$
No hygiene concerns as far as i can tell. It is what it is.”
“I had an excellent experience at BV Buy thanks to Rex. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about helping me find exactly what I needed. He took the time to explain everything clearly, offered honest recommendations, and never made me feel rushed. Customer service like this is rare—Rex is a huge asset to the store.”
“Not too big and not too small. Good selection of most things you would need from a grocery store. Wonderful people to deal with - very helpful in helping you find what you are looking for. As expected, they do have good sales, but generally prices are a little higher than big stores.”
“I was very pleased with my service today. The lady was kind, efficient and was able to answer all my absurd questions about products. However I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation being had with an uber driver. I have never seen someone ask for help so rudely and talk down to a worker. The young lady was directing him to all the correct places but he just kept denying it while raising his voice. I remember hearing him say “what do you do when a blind person comes into the store” this behaviour is so incredibly rude and infuriating. I just wanted to say that I had an amazing experience at this location and that the lady handled the situation so very politely and mature. I have shopped at M&M’s for a long time with my mom and to see the workers have to get treated like that is horrible. Something needs to be done so these uber drivers don’t feel so entitled for someone to do THEIR job.”
“Very convenient for a small town, clean, staff are nice.
Prices are higher than more populated areas 40 min down the road, purely opportunistic pricing as it's the only grocer in town.”
“Good selection in the produce and bread and deli departments. Prices are decent with a selection that are priced even better. Prices seem a bit higher than No Frills but mostly on par. Lots of choices for Middle Eastern cuisine.”
“A good place to shop - well paid, happy staff, but beware of impulse purchases. The store is set up in such a way as to force you to do a complete circuit resulting in potentially unnecessary purchases. More sustainable clothing brands would be a plus”
“I LIKE IT! It's cheap because there are NO frills, unlike Loblaw's, which has many frills and very expensive. I'm not a frilly kind of guy - I just want food. No matter how frilly it is when you eat it, the frills are gone when it comes out the other end.”
“The Food Basics on Princess Street is far better than the new location at the RioCan (the latter is too small with less on offer). A mature clientele for the most part.”
“Bought a case of the wrong type of cat food yesterday, and tossed my receipt in the trash before noticing. Went back today and got a quick, no hassle exchange. My kitty gives 5 stars too, she just doesn't like the pate style. $30 bucks would have been a lot to lose in today's tight economy. I appreciate the great customer service I received today.”
“I’ve had consistently great experiences at the Costco Tire Centre. The service is always fast and effective, even during the busiest tire-changing seasons. The staff remain friendly, professional, and efficient no matter how busy it gets. I really appreciate how smooth and stress-free every visit has been. I’ll definitely continue coming here for all my tire needs”
“Words cannot describe the exceptional level of care and guidance this Pharmacy offers. Carm and team are absolutely phenomenal and truly care about their clients. We’ve been going here for years and can’t recommend them enough! The best!”
“Food Basics is a great option for shoppers looking to save money without sacrificing a good selection of groceries. The store offers competitive prices, frequent sales, and a solid variety of produce, meat, dairy, and household essentials. While it may not have all the specialty products found in higher-end supermarkets, it delivers excellent value for everyday shopping. The store is usually well stocked, easy to navigate, and a practical choice for families trying to keep grocery costs under control.”
“Allison at self-checkout offered to wrap my flowers 💐 and wow! She did a nice job wrapping, theyre beautiful! Also, Lou, Joan, Kyle and his mom, everyone at self checkout are really stellar people and employees. They deserve a raise and a nice paid vacation. They have a hard job and deserve to be recognized! Thanks again Allison, you truly made my day.”
“The renovation at Loblaws made the store very efficient to walk through, as well as very organized, while keeping departments in their original and familiar places before. As well, I like the addition of the takeout and sushi bar, which gives off a restaurant feel. There is also seating upstairs, which has a lot of natural light, and an area which displays the history of the Kingston Loblaws location, and an area that was used for cooking classes! My only complaints are the prices being more expensive than they should be for basic items, like fruits and vegetables, (but that’s every grocery store right now) and some indoor employees not wearing their uniforms properly. It looks sloppy and makes it hard to tell whether they are an employee or customer. Otherwise, I had a nice visit, and brought my sushi takeout to the upstairs seating.”
“I always have a great experience here. The store is clean and easy to navigate, and the staff are genuinely friendly. The pharmacy team is especially wonderful—they’re always happy and excited to see me. The new associate is very professional and easy to talk to.”
“Best Caesar salads in Kingston, made fresh daily and whoever thought of putting in the lemon wedge deserves a raise. Loblaws is great and their fresh baked goods are delicious!”
“Awesome store that has a little bit of everything, and is great for Forrest as they have lots of beach items that you can pick up before heading to Ipperwash or Grand Bend!”
