“(Translated by Google) It is an almost secret place which is located in a gas station where gasoline is served. When we go inside there are tons of candy pauets that we can only find on the internet or in specialized import markets. They also have a huge selection of chocolate covered candy and nut wrappers in different sizes. They also offer bubble tea.(Original)Il s'agit d'un endroit quasi secret qui se situe dans une station service où l'on sert de l'essence. Lorsque l'on entre à l'intérieur il y a des tonnes de pauets de bonbons que nous pouvons trouver que sur internet ou dans des marchés spécialisés en importation. Ils ont aussi un vaste choix d'emballages de bonbons et de noix enrobés de chocolat de différents formats. Ils offrent aussi des bubble tea.”
“PLS try the turmeric coconut cashews. They are worth every penny. I am addicted to them and I hope this place continues to sell them forever. Besides that, love the plant selection.

“It is, in my opinion, the most complete and welcoming grocery store in the region. The prices may seem a little expensive compared to other supermarkets like Maxi and Super C, but the atmosphere, the quality of the food and the variety of local products make this IGA stand out enormously.

“Very positive experience at Maxi & Cie on Talbot. This location is a solid choice for affordable grocery shopping while still offering good variety and quality. One of the biggest advantages here is the pricing. Weekly specials are genuinely competitive, and it’s possible to save significantly by planning purchases around their promotions. The store brand products also offer very good value without compromising too much on quality, which makes it practical for regular household shopping. The layout is functional and easy to navigate. Aisles are clearly organized, making it straightforward to find pantry staples, dairy products, frozen foods, snacks, and household essentials. The produce section is generally fresh and well stocked, and there’s a reasonable selection of meat and bakery items as well. The store is typically clean and well maintained. Even during busier hours, restocking seems consistent and shelves are not left empty for long. The checkout process is efficient, with both regular cashiers and self-checkout options available, which helps reduce waiting time. Overall, this Maxi & Cie location is dependable, budget-friendly, and convenient. It’s a practical grocery option in Chicoutimi for anyone looking to manage their food budget while still having access to a wide range of products.”

“Très facile d'accès via le boulevard Ste Geneviève à Chicoutimi Nord. Très complet..le design de la circulation intérieur présente certaines faiblesses de conception. La circulation est légèrement difficile. Spécialement dans la section des fruits et légumes avec des allees petites. La zone de paiement automatique est plutôt petite pour la grande affluence.”
“Belle grosse salade maison bonne pour une semaine pour 10$. Les plats maisons sont vraiment mieux qu'ailleurs et que dire du poisson toujours frais. Beau petit rayon de boulangerie pâtisserie. Peut-être un peu plus cher mais quand on veux de la qualité et des produits santé de grande surface c'est sans nul doute le meilleur endroit au Saguenay.”
“A beautiful, well-filled market and there are even some finds to be made there. They sell things there that I haven't seen in other superCs. The cashiers are smiling!”
“I enjoyed it because I was looking for spicy ones and they have a large quantity. I finally found what I was looking for. It is a good destination to have a variety of exotic products. The prices of some items are affordable. Customer service not bad.”
“Always good, fresh food, as much in fruits and vegetables as in meat and fish. It's very rare that I don't find what I'm looking for there. It's clean and not ugly.”
