A great community partner. Always willing to support fundraising events. Although I don't live in Nanaimo we always try and support this business when we can.
When I usually buy groceries I go to Walmart but this is my second preference to shop for food. It has a nice, almost exciting feel to it. I dont know why because it's just a grocery store. The staff is nice and they have a good selection of various items.
Best service best prices best supply
Love to shop there
Not enough cashier's long wait and although good quality food waits are not good
Large store, lotta space, well laid out
Very nice store and very pleasant staff!
Good, clean store but the won't announce that a dog is suffering in a hot car in the summer. By the time the SPCA or police would arrive, the dog could be dead or brain damaged. 10 minutes to death. 9 won't shop there. Other stores make announcements.
Its always busy so must have good prices
Excellent store, staff and meat section
Love the location, the store layout and products variety. The cashier's are fast and friendly without getting overly familiar. The area staff on the floor could learn a thing or two from them.
Great deals when you find them. Also the fruit and trail mix is pretty high quality.
They hav what you need
My fav place to grocery shop in Nanaimo. Great mid-week specials. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable
Always great deals to found
Love it. Shop here all the time. Glad they have a salad / hot bar now.
Decent selection of fancier or more niche food items (for Nanaimo). A bit expensive for what you're getting. Nice smaller sized grocery store (not so overwhelming) and friendly staff.
Always great and very fair prices, much cheaper than Thriftys
Excellent customer service all ways smiling willing to help
Just need to bring back shopping baskets! Superstore etc has em...
The quality and selection isn't up to my tastes.
Clean, good prices, helpful staff
Went to the restaurant had the hot Buffet I guess you would call it. it was all LUKEWARM and it was terrible. Had cabbage roll mixed veggies one meatball tiny bit of mac and cheese.
Great organic options and coffee :)
God I love the grocery store. Always great deals, fresh fruits and veggies
Best produce in town. Very friendly and helpful service people and cashiers. I Don't live near a Country Grocer store but go out of my way to shop there.
Very pleasant shopping experience.
Good produce. A bit pricey though.
Clean Good Selection Friendly Staff
Great selection of food
A great place to shop and is a bonus when case lot sales are on and staff were helpful when needed.
Very reasonable prices especially midweek specials. Great meat selection and pricing too, i go here often
A little hefty for the prices on the organic fruit and produce here. Awesome mid week deals. Pretty good selection in all aisles for variety of things
They have Great prices & Have good Customer Service! The Bakery makes Great cakes & COOKIES!
Love this grocery store... great selection of fresh produce (6 types of mushrooms!), well-organized products, and frequent sales. They have lots of gluten-free options (a separate freezer section with breads/bagels/buns/pie shells/etc) interspersed throughout the store. Staff is always friendly and positive!
Really great grocery store
The Bowen Road store is bright, clean, and it's easy to find things. They have great loss leaders and we appreciate the grass-fed grass-finished beef. They also give Gabriola residents $9 off if you purchase $75 worth of groceries.
Great deals, usually great customer service
The best supermarkets in Nanaimo. Hands down!
Lots of fresh fruit and veggie choices in a clean area. Assistance is always near
Produce is fresh, meat as well, bulk items reasonable and bundant . Deli is fresh and exvellent quality. Groceries are easy to find. Staff is over all friendly and they do have bins fir charitable donations. Countr Grocer is convenient with easy parking and close to other high use businesses. We shop there most of the time.
Great selection, baked goods, and deli. No loyalty program, so you never have to remember your card. They do a few questionable things like labelling things as a “Manager’s Feature” at the same price as usual, which begs the question: why is this being featured? Great friendly staff. One of our regular go-to grocers.
You know how some places are best for certain things...country grocer is the ONLY place to buy things like pepperoni bread sticks or muffins...no one else gets 'em right! The produce is always good here, too, and I trust their meat department. Sales are often great on random, surprising things.. if I'm not sure about my shopping list, but know a few items on it will be here, this is my go to store.
Cute little off the way place. Not as much for individuals...more family style portions
I love coming in here. They have great stores and a nice diverse selection of items.
It's a grocery store, an expensive one. Periodically, its loss leaders soften the gouge.
I love this store, thye have lots of variety and are affordable, sales are fantastic
Best grocery store from staff, produce and weekly deals
It can be argued....that an effort is made...to provide quality produce, meats, dairy products...at an competitive price...and adding in the occasional sale....which takes into account...the 'socio-economic' considerations of the people who live in the immediate area and who frequent this store.
Gteat regional grocer. Sometimes their specials are exceptional.
Wasnt such a huge fan of this place until I discovered their deli, and now I'm hooked! They have so many great to go and menu options, I probably grab a meal there once a week.
Good selection, great staff, fresh produce, what more can you ask.
Best grocery store in town! If you want fresh and the most savings, go to CG!
Love this store although it is hard to find help.
This is just around the corner from my place and I like the yogurt they have no other store has ot and I like the friendly people there
So i was in there shopping And didnt have enough hands to hold all groceries so put some in my bag went to cash to pay and as im keacing store 2 of there male employees stopoed me and asked to search my bags i said sure... They did not find anything but said i was banned anyways i will never shop here again they completely tried to muscle me this place sucks dont shop there
Good store very clean and good price
Excellent store with lots of great choices including local foods. Super clean and organized. Prices are very budget friendly. Lots of parking
Great weekly & mid-week specials. Extra bonus for Gabriola residents: spend more than $75 and you will get $9 taken off at till.
Great sales, produce is always good and the staff is awesome. Especially Sandy the cashier! !
Very nice and friendly staff
I usually love the country grocer I get all my stuff from there. Today was different though, I had just come off work and I can usually buy a couple re usable bags when I get in there since I don’t drive and have to walk home. Apparently there were none left in the whole store. So I got 2 paper bags. On my 7 min walk home both bags broke and my eggs smashed, my glass containers smashed and I was left on the road with nothing. I am very upset and confused on why there are no reusable bags that I could buy when that is the whole point of no plastic bags.
Best grocery store around
Great Store, Great Customer Service, Great Prices & Variety! Lots of Great Parking & Clean Shopping Carts! Always Have the Best Breakfasts & Lunches in the Cafe! The Public Washrooms & Store Are the Cleanest in Nanaimo!! An all around Great Shopping & Dining Experience!!
Well laid out with wheelchair access and lots of parking. Store has good selection of produce with an excellent deli section.
Good, fresh food in a clean environment
Jimmy P's crew seems to come in under what this team does regularly. They have great quality as well though and sometimes saving a buck is less important than ease of access... especially at dinner time !
Love love love this store. Clean organized and the staff is super helpful and friendly. Great selection in every department. Easy location.
Decent food, decent prices. I've never had an issue and customer service has always been great. They wrote me a rain cheque once for coconut ice cream. Good stuff.
Little pricey, but GREAT food !!
Midweek specials are amazing! Store is clean and well organized. Prices can be high - $14.99 for 1lb Strawberries today :( Shop sales and you'll be golden. Staff are friendly. Wish they had more tills open sometimes.
This country grocer location offers all the standards one would expect from a grocery store, and competes very well with other grocery chains in the area. The best of part the building is the outside architecture, since it almost has this red-barn kind of feel to it. Coffees and snacks from the cafe are tasty, and there is ample parking.
Clean tidy store. Has great mid week specials
Excellent location , great selections and midweek specials, very good selection of gluten free products. Great quick service area
My favorite grocery store, always good deals to check out, friendly staff & helpful
What a great sale. Usually good sales but one day sale is better.
Nice staff and great set up
Awesome deals on a regular basis and no need to deal with collecting points or other such data tracking stuff.
Good selection. Clean. Let's expectations.
Staff are super friendly, products are high quality with low prices and good sales. My favourite grocery store to visit.
Lovely store, delicious produce, not too large a store and love to shop here.
Always a good ezperience- they tend to restock more quickly than the big chains, so for example always.paper towels and toilet paper available. They carry a wide variety of products I cant get elsewhere like Gateway to India local pakoras and samosas.
One of the best grocery stores in Nanaimo
Great produce and have some killer specials sometimes.
It was a really great store but found the pricing not really where I wanted it to be. Lots of variety. I will probably continue to shop at Superstore with my current budget.
I like this store. However, service varies a lot! You can get a rude response or best service ever! Overall, it’s not too bad. I wish there was more international food options. Their sushi however, is super good! The best in any grocery store or supermarkets. When you enter, there are sometimes cool stuff on the right and left. I guess these are locally made. You can get some for a really decent price. Keep an eye for manager’s special. These are really great discounts!!
Great food and meat loved when I lived by here
Excellent selection, sometimes the veggies are not always the freshest but lots of choice of vegetables and lots of organic and local vegetables too. Standard Vancouver Island prices. There are lots of staff around. Also a kitchen that serves delicious soup.
My favorite place to shop if I'm in Nanaimo. Got to know your prices
Great place Central area, near Hospital, Timmy s, McDonald's, Bowen Rd.
Best grocery shopping in the city!! Friendly and courteous staff, always clean store and surroundings, great deals and excellent quality products and produce! Not to mention fantastic hours! Keep up the GREAT work ????
Went to pick up flowers for the wife.
Great selection of fresh vegetables and fruit. A bit pricey but worth it.
Great deals love shopping there
Great store with good deals! However there is a lack of Asian food being sold there.
We were just talking about how good the customer service is here. Every time we go thru checkout they are very friendly, talkative, positive and smiling. Super impressed with the service at this place and we love going there for this reason. A very neighborhood friendly vibe. Prices are decent especially their sales are great when you shop those! Fresh produce and wide selection of pretty much everything you need.
Check your receipt carefully. 3/$5.00 on smart water, charged $7.17. When I questioned it, it was too much trouble to do anything about it. Pure Ineptitude and lack of interest.' Maybe it was because I'm a tourist so OK to rip me off? This happened July 30 at 11.20 via the cafe.
Handy spot easy to park, liquor store and coffee shop nearby.
Great people and good prices
I love Country Grocer. Great variety, often great deals. Good deli. Great cafe/meeting space in many of them. I always try and choose Country Grocer when I can
Like the hot buffet and vibe and great deals sometimes. But not the best produce at times
Everything is easily laid out and the service is outstanding
Good selection and quality for a fair price.
Great selection here????
Favourite grocery store for value and service
Somethings high price but mostly good place
Good grocery store, great café built-in with awesome breakfast and lunch food. Produce is always fresh and staff always friendly.
This is our favourite grocery store in town. It's spacious and well lit (without feeling industrial), has a good location, the selection is decent and the prices are great. Always feels clean and well maintained, and the workers are usually pretty friendly.
I used to shop here daily..until I moved but I loved the atmosphere here as soon as I walk in the door...I get a great feeling ..I can't explain it ..but that's the way I feel when I enter this establishment...cheers
Great place to buy groceries today I get a 4L of chocolate milk mmmmmmmmmm
It's convenient, accessible, and clean and the service is good and friendly. It can get really busy at times but the staff generally stay on top of it. Deli is good too!
Great products, prices and staff
Great grocery store in my neighborhood
Its always a pleasure, they care about the customers and they take the time to clean each cart for covid measures...
Very nice atmosphere, prices are good when things are on sale. Friendly staff and good environment. Lovely aesthetic.
Prices are about the same anywhere else. Sale prices generally are good. It's the staff that keep me coming back. They are a great bunch of people there. Friendly, courteous and ready to help if you need assistance.
Produce section is excellent. Easy parking.
Best grocery store on the island!! Amazing sales every week, love this place
Love their specials and produce
My go to for grocery shopping!
Friendly staff. Good service. Well stocked, clean store.
Snooty attendant will not be shopping there again. They are to covid paranoid must wipe everything down. Qoute bonnie Henry on check out window. So sad at least save on foods allows mask exemptions.
Love this store, great produce, all in all so many yummy things, that you won't find in the other big chains. Also cheap fire wood and gas cartridges
Got everything we needed. Safe, clean, friendly. :)
Good grocery store. Lots of deals and sales. Veggies are good, fairly varied with quite a few organic options. Always good pork and chicken, beef is mostly good, sometimes tougher than I like. Very good bakery.
Lots of alternative for sensitive diets like gluten and dairy free
Picked up a B-day cake for my niece... ???? delicious!
Great selection, prices and location (near my house). Also, friendly and helpful staff!
Always had good deals and helpful staff
Awesome place for all your grocery needs. Staff is always friendly and super helpful. I swear they have the freshest produce in town.
Good they clean thier carts n practice social distancing
Excellent location great staff.
Favorite grocery store. No large corporate feeling and always friendly service.
Lots of selection and nicely different for someone who does most of his shopping at Thrifty foods.
Nice produce. Clean store.
Has great local food items, no store card so lots of good prices for anyone, cafe lunch breaky area pretty decent. Tons of parking.
Helpful staff, and decent prices for a store that isn't as massive as superstore or costco.
Great store, awesome prices. Great staff, always helpful!!
I love this grocery store. It has the best staff. Especially the bakery department.
All good. Got all I needed. Quiet for a Sunday.
Wonderful grocery store , thank you Country grocer
Always has great healthy options, staff are always helpful!
You get what you pay for. Expensive but excellent quality and service
Decent grocery store, a little pricey.
Good quality, great selection
I don't mind Country Grocer but I have other grocery stores I'd rather go to. I find the prices are a little high but they do have good produce and I like their bakery.
Great bakery section, always good deals going on
Always great here. Good prices, friendly staff .
The best birthday cakes in town!!’????????☀️????❤️
Always quality found here, has some great sales check the flyers.
i ran a round to find some help , but seen like they dont have enough people
Great prices. Good stock. Friendly staff.
Always clean, organized, super helpful and friendly staff! Produce and flowers lasts really long time.
Costs a little more but higher end
Bright location . Usually good deals. Friendly staff
Spacious and all the products are arranged in a good manner. Sometimes there are good deals as well.
Everything you could ever be looking for is here; along with friendly staff. It's a clean organized store, with a restaurant area to sit & eat, after you've placed your food &/or, drink order. Their Tai soup, & their choices of Sushi, & their Chai Tea, all taste delicious. Lots of parking - & a liquor store right next door!
Fantastic ???? selection of deli meat ????
Great store with a huge variety of in house foods. Their bakery is stellar!
Great little grocery store, specials every week, great lunches to sit and eat or to go. Always friendly, weekday specials.
Great health food selection
New grocery. Reminds me of Safeway but more rustic a bit like going back in time. Great deli and cafe with a seating area.
Excellent shopping
Good service helpful people
Always a good experience at country grocer!!
They are proud that they offer good prices to everyone, you don't need a loyalty card to get deals. They also sell lottery tickets and transit passes. I particularly like the way they organize their aisles for less congestion. Beside the deli, Country Grocer has a large, airy dine-in area, popular with groups and with lone laptop users. Coffee cards, free Wifi. There are a few outdoor tables, all non-smoking. At least one meeting room upstairs is available to community groups. The garden centre is under cover by the main entrance/exits. Fund-raising hot dog sales are often held there on weekends. Country Grocer shares the parking lot with a TD bank and with Greenrock liquor store. Good vehicle access from Dufferin Crescent. The #40 bus stops nearby, and #30 a block away (on Meredith at Bowen). Two accessible pedestrian entrances to the parking lot from Bowen Road.
Excellent produce & well stocked. Good selection, Usually pretty clean. Good sales and efficient check out.
Always a great store, fresh and good selection, friendly staff, and the store is small enough that it didn't take you two hours to walk to the other side to get bread, but big enough that they have everything you need.
Clean, stocked and always nice staff. I have never had a negitive experience shopping here. Only reason it's not a 5 star is because the prices are a little more then the average place. Especially meats.
Okay, easy to shop. Pricing can be disappointing on a lot of items, so I don't do full shops here, just fillin cause theyre close by.
Good grocery store for variety.
Great selection, competitive prices, friendly and helpful staff.
Couldn't ask for a better local community grocery store
Thanks a bundle to the girl at the entrance this after noon who gave me a mask because I had forgotten mine. You made my Friday.
Great selection but way over priced
Always great service! Friendly and helpful staff.
A little pricey. No express lanes.
Very clean but a little pricey
I like Country Grocer. Wide aisles.. lots of variety. Clean. Friendly. Helpful.
I work nearby and enjoy taking advantage of their sales
Prices are great employees are awesome! The store is kept very clean! Produce is fresh and the lineups are not too bad.
Good prices & wicked cafe
Great place to shop for just about anything
Wow! Cant get better than this store! The staff here are 10 out of 10. The managment team as well! We there the other day and they were super busy all the managment dropped what they were doing and jump on till to help ring everyone through! Amazing!
Clean neat tidy store with everything you need . Yummy baked in store treats . Good fast friendly service . Good location. Lots of parking . Has busy points but that like anywhere .
Awesome treatment of customers welcoming welcomers
As far as grocery stores go this is about as good as it gets. Quality selection and they always have a fairly good assortment of deals.
I love this grocery store - the deli/café area is really good. The shop is kept clean, orderly, the lines are quick and the sales are well advertised and varied.
Country grocer is great for many things
Codi was a really sweet cashier, very friendly and unlike most cashiers. Breath of fresh air!
The country cafe in the store has pretty decent food.
This is the best place to get things they always have a good stock of everything and friendly service merry Christmas to all your workers and cashier's
Good food. They have prepared food as well as groceries. Slightly pricey, but still good. Staff are helpful.
Excellent produce selection.
The health shelf and the produce department are fabulous!
Is there really a better place for your grocery shopping.... I think not awesome place.
Clean, organized. Shop there regularly
Good selection of baked products, love the pepperoni cheese sticks. Prices tend to be higher than other grocery stores and there are always line ups at the check outs. Great store if you only need a few items.
My favourite supermarket, all of the staff are really nice.
Yearly Spring Sale. Awesome Deals!
Affordable prices, plenty of specials, and top service.
Best Staff in the World ????
Great produce. Decent prices.
Nice grocery store with friendly staff and good service. In the spring and summer they always have a great selection of veggie and annual starter packs. Along with perennials and other gardening supplies.
Clean well organized grocery store with good prices. And a funky barn shaped building.
Always clean, bright and friendly with fresh foods.
Always good but expensive.
The best service in town
great store, nicest staff around.
Friendly service...everything on my list...with covid I don't go out often but I do enjoy a Grocery shop now and then...
Great place deals all the time
Great bakery and meat department. Watch expiry date on sale items
Love your bakery but some of your recent hires (in the past 6 months) have been questionable at best....young, ditzy, blonde, and not helpful or friendly. Let's hope they improve with age...like wine. Then there's the older woman who asked me about a card she happened to see in my wallet as I pulled out my debit card to give her payment.....eyes off my personal business, sweetheart! They all need a lesson in basic professionalism.
Shopping for 8 can be challenging. I shop 2 times a week, in and out in under an hour. The staff are very helpful.
They have nice selection of groceries and helpful staff.
This is a wonderful store to shop at they always have good food for less money than most ????
Always friendly. Good prices. Great produce.
A bit pricey but sourced from lots of local stuff. Good quality.
Good selection , quality and cleanliness, a bit on the pricey side.
There always friendly at country grocery on bowen RD. plus produce is usually very good and they know me there.i like going there.
Good selection of foods, regular prices are mid-range, sales can be good prices.
Clean, fresh atmosphere and very organized! I don't generally enjoy going grocery shopping to be frank, but I enjoy my experience when I go here!
Great variety, super friendly staff. Nice wide aisles.
Seems to be real expensive on most things. Fantastic sales on certain things when theyre on and super great staff.
Lots of good deals. Always clean.
Great selection on gluten free products!!
Nice, clean establishment. Good parking
Great selection including organic. Is more expensive than Save on for organic veggies but then almost all other grocers are. I like how close this place is and it has a good atmosphere.
Always friendly service! Great deals to be found
Convenient great prices some days.. groceries... location is convenient for myself.. walking distance
Looking for a value grocer? Turn back now... Looking for convenience, a big selection and great produce? Check it out. I stopped in here to grab a few last minute items for dinner. The prices are slightly higher than normal, but I did manage to spot some good deals on "bulk buy" items when you purchase several at a time. I browed through the produce ares and was pleasantly surprised by a broad and organized selection. There also appeared to be a nice selection of organic produce, if you're into that kind of thing. They offer bulk bins, a bakery featuring cakes and all sorts of breads, and even a small quick service food stop serving sandwiches, soups, etc. The staff seems friendly and accommodating and the overall feel of the grocer is clean and organized. If the prices were a bit lower, I would be doing all of my shopping here!
I will not shop there until thy fix the check out process. The cashier was going to make me walk the entire front to get in line when no one was in line. Rude and not worth my $
A bit pricey compared to Quality Foods but their selection is great.
This store includes a nice cafeteria area. Staff are friendly and helpful. Only beef is the parking lot. With only two ways in and out our is a nightmare at busy times.
Visiting from Vancouver, stopped to buy some flowers. How disappointing to see over 50% of shoppers without masks! Shame on this local business for not putting safety first and following medical experts' suggestions. I'll shop Superstore where masks are mandatory.
Great store clean and friendly.
Love the customer service ...
Awesome staff. Shop here all the time on my lunch break, store is nicely laid out, tidy, and cashiers are fast.
Lily is the best! So kind and helpful.
Clean, friendly, nice layout of produce
Great grocery store. Not a huge amount of selection but it is very tidy and well put together.
High prices but good quality food. Sometimes hard to find staff for help though on the floor other than cashier's which I would rather ask a stock boy rather than a person ringing people through.
Pleased to meet you I'm the Junior Apprentice...
Sells expensive, EXPIRED food. I bought some frozen pizza but when I went to make it, I noticed it was really icy and the box said it had expired 7 months ago, back in September. Gross.
I love the freshness of the produce at Country Grocer!
Awesome staff, great place to shop. Open early good value
Has the sales, always something good on midweek speciaks
Great prices on meats and all around good selection
Prices practiced are among the highest in BC. Nice food court, friendly staff.
I like this store a lot because of their fresh hand made items, in particular the salsa (pico de gallo) and guacamole - you can't find these better at any other store! Just a warning: There is a young guy who guides you to the checkout lines, look out for him because he's a control freak. He insisted that I backup and stand on a line even though I was about 7' away from the person checking out. COVID-19 is not an excuse to be rude to people, get a job in law enforcement (no disrespect to any RCMP living or passed). Update: I received a positive response from the store and have not seen that pesky guy again, all of my recent interactions with staff have been wonderful, this truly is a great place to shop!
Love this store, staff is always friendly and they have great sales
A country grocer shopping experience - in the city!! ????
First time here. Ok. We were looking for smoked salmon. Only frozen!
Friendly, large store and convenient to find everything in it! Reasonable prices too.
Love this grocery store ❤❤
Always love going to this store and live this location. Always friendly staff and helpful!
Very nice store with lots of nice product.
Great local store, seems to mostly have what I need.
This store is always very clean and the staff keep the shelves well stocked. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The clerks are fast and efficent so long line ups are very rare. The prices in their meat department are some of the best in town. Love this store.
Busy but fast during peak times
My favourite grocery store. Check them out.
A company that puts its people first and focuses on local island products. My favorite product is the cheese end cuts that I use for sauces!
Vast selection of local food brands. Competitive prices.
Great employees that are always friendly, wide variety of groceries some of which can't be found anywhere else, competitive prices. If they had online ordering I would give them 5 stars.
it is a good place to shop for you grocery , it has a lot of fresh food and vegie, a bit busy at parking
Want a quick fresh hot lunch? Try the deli here for a BLT with super crunchy fries! Mmm
The prices often leave something to be desired, convenient location. (COVID-19 related) Their system for till queues is incredibly effective. The lines seem to be faster than ever, unless you're behind someone buying lotto at the express.
Best place for buying meat etc.
Large, good size isles, nice staff. Didn't have fresh pasta, but not the end of the world.
I like the feel and vibe, and the coffee shop in the back.
Great shopping ..Cheese section is very good ..produce is fresh and varied ..friendly people!
Super expencive salad bar!
Great local goods!
Love the chase river country grocer
This is my favourite grocery store of all time. The staff here are simply wonderful, always. The prices are very competitive with bigger stores. This is grocery chain local to Vancouver Island, which makes me love it even more!! Fantastic.
always have great sales
Great staff and awesome sales
Very good quality food and service.
Everything you need for a life of quality. Choose local, support locals!
Great place to shop for groceries
Great deals and staff.
They were very helpful
Great selection. Fair prices. Watch out for expiration dates, they have a habit of letting things sit too long. Also not the most kid-friendly, though they offer free fruit to kiddies, there's no 2-seater carts and other parent friendly amenities are lacking compared to other places in town. Still high recommend though!
All the staff is super nice and friendly. I dropped a box of yogurt thanks to my clumsiness and it splashed everywhere. They quickly have someone come over to clean up my mess and very kindly reassure me when I got little panic and embarrassed. Best customer service ever. The food is always super fresh . You can find the best soup bones and whole salmon here in the frozen section.
Great service shop for most of our groceries.
It's always 5 star best in Nanaimo
Country Grocery is always a pleasure. Staff are always going above and beyond. The store support s the community they are in and in return, I am happy to support them!
Lots of local produce and local meat. And good service . ..
Country Grocer is amazing as always
Best hand made bread at a grocery store.
Staff helpful and friendly. Store clean. Prices too high
They have everything. Prices are in line and ton of selection.
Very Busy, Cashier was doing her best.
Love the precooked food in restaurant area.
nice shop with a lot of ooptions
Very good selection of vegetables and fruits
Good experiance overall, use this store often...
Friendly staff, great selection, good quality foods in all the departments. In COVID times it feels clean. Unfortunately I go to another grocery store for pet items. They still get 5 stars, I just have to shop else where when I need certain pet treats and wild bird seeds and suets.
Like most times, good.
Best Canadian grocery store ever. LOVE IT PERIOD
Friendly staff. Clean environment and great produce
Great store for all your grocery needs
Always a great place to shop!
Nice clean and friendly store
Great service. Beautiful cashiers ???? and their baked goods are yummy
Best grocery store, well stocked, fresh looking fruit and veg, excellent deli!
I'm not used to prices so high,but I'm told there one if the best. Nanaimo prices are higher than ontario
Friendly staff great products
Always good, and best local produce and only Endive available in North end.
Good store, nice selection. People are friendly.
Great Produce and bakery, its a well-run store. Never have to worry about the high consistency of products and Staff, and the best of all, Island owners who want to know if they can help customers and the Community
Found items easily, friendly staff, no line ups...
The salad bar is $2.79/ 100 grams in comparison to fairway market at $1.79. The staff ( some ) argue that the salad used is fresh; even while brown juicy lettuce and yellow bits are picked out in front of them. They look at people as if they are nuts for requesting gluten free toast with thier breakfast, or gluten free bread with sandwiches. The grocery store is also lacking Portefino Bakery gluten free bread although they have some inferior frozen options. The ingredients list in the wicked Tia soup vary from cream to coconut milk depending on who you ask. The experience was overall alienating, inconsiderate and disrespectful.
Friendly staff. Well organized and easy to find items. This location has a good selection. Prices seem about average. I enjoy country grocery. A local market
Been shopping here for 4 years now. Very easy layout, TONS of local BC farm produce, poultry & fish! The staff have always been friendly and kind. Prices are good. The baking department is always hard at work, and the “made in store” products are fantastic. I will continue to tell family and friends to shop here!
Consistently clean and well stocked with helpful and friendly staff. Good product and meat sections, and even a pretty decent bulk section for a smaller store. Only nitpick about the store portion is that during busy times it can be hard to get help because there never seem to be any floor staff - I always end up going to someone at a counter or till, and when there's lineups that means it takes awhile to find the answer to anything I need. BUT they are very helpful once I get to them and, most importantly, knowledgeable about their product, and also willing to ask questions of other employees if they don't know the answer themselves! I value that a lot because of course in some stores you have staff that clearly don't care. I'm guessing that means the employees are treated relatively well, as I find enthusiasm and dedication tend to be directly tied to employee morale, so kudos to CG for excellent staff. RE: hot food options, there's a restaurant as well, including a new salad bar-type setup that has both a salad station but also stuff like wings and lasagna and other stuff - which they have boxes at so you can pack your own mixed meal to 'take out'. It's a flat price by weight so you can get a pretty decent sized salad for a pretty decent sized price. I've tried both the restaurant and the salad bar and found the food in both kind of mediocre but having said that, that's all just down to personal taste. Both the salad bar and the restaurant are also kept as clean as other areas and the dining area is a nice bright and comfortable location.
Always a fantastic selection of fruits and vegetables. All the departments within the store are always well stocked with fresh items. The cashiers and the entire staff that I have encountered have always greeted me, or answered my questions quickly and with professionalism. Worth the extra driving distance.
One of my favorite grocery store friendly staff and we'll run
which is one in Nanaimo BC
Good staff Gloria shift manager is absolutely the best their is for customer service rep
Store is great, parking can be a problem and lines can be extremely long
Always a great experience at country grocer.
Great grocer... Always great service.
There Awesome Staff and are helpful with everything. But most of all, the Staff is so so Beautiful, Caring and Awesome
Over priced convenience store
Cute little grocery store. Little expensive but convenient for elderly shoppers.
A little expensive but great selection and nearby where we stayed.
Very expensive unless it's on sale.
Best ever. Great people. Best service!
People are always nice.
Best covid protocols of all local grocery stores.
Excellent customer service. Always seem to have what I want. Very pleased the deli is still open during the pandemic Thank you all for being there.
Nicely stocked , friendly staff.
Always a pleasure to shop here. Clean, great selection and service.
Love the country grocer chef. Please keep him on. Gives me so many great ideas.
Fresh bakery, and hot food deli. Good prices, clean store, and friendly staff.
Expensive, but it's my store.
Great friendly service a clean and organized store
Staff is always friendly and the store is bright and clean. Great produce selection
One of my favourite grocery stores. This location in particular is nice , clean and I really love their deli and bakery ! The only bad thing I could say about it is although they have great deals A lot of the food is very expensive but its no different than the other grocery store prices. I find that yes not all tills are usually open but the cashiers are pretty fast and I never noticed any slow service :) Keep up the good work country grocer!
My fav grocery store! Sandra is the best!
Good selection but higher priced then other stores.
Great grocery store. Good prices.
Great staff. Great store
Warning. Do not purchase mushrooms from here. My friend said they had good mushrooms here, so i figured i would give it a try. I bought a whole bag and starting eating them by the hand full. Waited an hour and felt nothing, so I ate the rest of the bag and waited another hour. Still felt nothing. Got a bad stomach ache which is a side effect of mushrooms so i thought i was on the way to jupiter. i would not recommend mushrooms from here, they are complete trash.
Very busy today with the one day sale, but staff are quick and efficient with friendly smiles and pleasant conversation.
The young man at the til was amazing. He was polite, kind and very professional
Great place to buy groceries
Friendly service good prices
Getting very pricey &5.00 For 5 lbs of russet potatoes. Come on!
The quality of the produce is top rated. It's always clean and you can find what you are looking for. The staff are polite and well informed about the stock.
Nice place great deals lots of choices
Excellent grocery store, very clean and always come here for when I need cakes. Chocolate is my favourite here. Not too sweet and the filling is really good.
I give this grocery store a 10 out of 10. They carry a huge, fresh and varied inventory of high-quality products at fantastic pricing. The organic and health food section is loaded with fantastic products very competitively-priced. There is a nice energy in the store with all the staff who are cheerful and always willing to help.
Awesome.
Great deals always! Fresh produce & friendly staff. My only tip is to watch for expiration/best before dates.
A nice little cafeteria. A wide selection of menu choices and a bright corner to sit and eat a meal with friends.
Great staff, clean and great deals.
Great deals great place!
Great prices and awesome produce!
Poor customer experience. Staff attitude uncaring. Much better places to shop. Staff need Customer101 training
Cute store with loads of local products. Hardy Bouys, Island Farms and Qualicum Cheeseworks to name a few. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great grocer!
Great deals, friendly staff
This week is $5 days so tons of great deals with lots of savings.
Best butcher counter in Nanaimo. Very helpful. Great staff, good job guys.
Always have whatever I need at great prices
I've been shopping here for almost 30 years, back when it was known as Food Country. They always have great deals and their prices are pretty good.
Love it here. Always friendly servies and smiles from the staff.
Very busy good place to shop
Big selection. Always happy with their meat and produce.
Not a fan myself, I just go here for convenience.
I went in for a sandwich had a Reuben one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, very helpful and friendly staff.
Staff are nice and pleasant. Many of there prices are high. They do have a better variety of products then most stores.
Really nice store. Great customer service. Great bakery goods and hot chicken. Cafe drink/patio was lovely. Some* food prices are very high though, some double cost of superstore, but, I get the impression they treat and pay staff better and it's a nicer shopping experience.
Good selection of foods and a large health section. The side cafe offers excellent soups and sandwiches. A very convenient location situated right in the middle of town.
Love the bakery and very friendly tellers
Friendly and helpful staff, very organized, and clean bathrooms!
Nice store. Very helpful in meat department.
This is a really nice store.The staff are Friendly and knowlegible about the products they sell also where items are located i.e. which aisle which shelf and so on and so forth this helps me shop efficiently and saves me time.Also this shows commitment To good customer service.I have noticed the same experience in other Country Grocers stores..
No longer stock items needed looking for new place to buy groceries
Awsome staff fast friendly service
A bit expensive, but close to my place lol
Love this store. Produce is fantastic! Large variety!
Prices compared to Save-on are outrageous.
Nice store lots of variety and rrasonable prices. Local strawberries today, a great flower section and nice giftware along with the food
Country Grocer is great. Its close by and the people that work there are awesome!! Makes getting groceries a pleasure!
So great grocery store...always very clean...best covid procedures...always stocked when the big guys are not ... Egg salad...at the deli...yuck with the horseradish...was good before
Friendly clean store to shop in.
Snobby staff in all stores and way to expensive. Horrible to shop at and horrible to work at
Great prices and well stocked
The worst Chinese food I have ever experienced. This review is for the Chinese food only...it had a sticker that said oriental express which I tried to find but there is no such restaurant so I assume it is made in store....I picked up the szechuan chicken rice and chowmein....the flavor and quality was so awful I thought it was expired but it wasn't. I am not a picky eater but could not eat this. Everything else I have had from the deli is fantastic.
Great locally owned grocery store!
love this store so clean and friendly!! Awesome sales
I'm in line to pay for my items, and every single time I get the pleasure of being served by Jason. He's an absolute delight. He always asks me questions about when I worked for cruise lines. It's so sweet and he's got a smile on, all the time. Please let him know he's doing a fantastic job! Grocery selection is great, pricing is great. I love shopping here.
Opened tills when needed. Freshest produce in town.
Shop the sales at country grocer, no card required!
The cost of things in there especially produce is outrageous !
Favourite grocery store in nanaimo
always friendly and helpful!!
Best grocery store in nanaimo.....products and employees are wonderful
Huge produce selection! Lovely and helpful staff. Great variety in the deli department.
It was very busy but they had good covid protocol
Great prices on bedding plants and starters.
It is such a nice spacious store, GREAT plants- indoor and out, gifts and other nice things. They pack your bags perfectly. I also love the country grocer bread
Good selection, clean store, friendly and helpful staff
Love this store, great staff and great produce meat and bakery section.. the bakery is dangerously good
Clean store. Fresh and top quality produce. Prices reasonable and always something I need on sale.
Great staff, store is pricey compared to other grocery stores.
I love country grocer but they keep eliminating the brands of dog food I use, so now I have to do more shopping trips.
Good place to shop
Really like the store but I get confused by some things in the flyer - like items showing one price then when I turn up on a Sunday the item is higher priced.??
Good food, and great value, at the in-store eatery. Wide variety of many ethnic foods not always found at other grocery stores. Pleasant and helpful staff.
The best place too get your Grocerys in Nanaimo. Good deals always! Friendly staff their too always help you.
Prices were higher than local market area and we found two of the staff a little frustrated and short with us.
Great grocery store. Fruits & Veggies are fresh and bright. Love the Hot food buffet and salad bar. Every week there are great sale prices. Staff are kind and helpful. Well done Country Grocer!
Flower/garden center is lovely! I always get really fresh flowers and plants and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Also, I recently got my son's birthday cake from the bakery and it tasted so delicious and was decorated beautifully! All staff are always friendly and kind!
Favorite grocery store to shop. Great service and clean store.
Nice and clean store. Quite expensive I believe.
Nice looking store. Too much junk in the store making it tough to navigate with the family.
Very nice store great staff
Reasonable price for groceries, very clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly
It's where I get groceries... What more can I say.
They always have fresh vegetables and fruit and is always beautifuly displayed. Always helpful and happy staff members. Great place to shop.
Have everything we need. Great sales, especially the case lot.
Absolutely horrendous customer service. I have called and complained to managers before regarding the customer service/floral staff's lack of respect and hospitable service and it went no where. Will not spend my money at a place where customers are not treated respectfully.
Pretty good service, clean, okay prices... would recommend.
Great store good prices
It's clean the food looks taken care of
I drive from Nanoose Bay to shop as staff are friendly and helpful. It also is the BEST COVID clean store in Nanaimo and Oceanside area compared to others that I used to shop. Also, when there is a sale on items, it cant be beat
Great shop, friendly people. Long line moved ok.
The meat department was excellent. Ray, butcher was very helpful and acomidating. Store was ran with it's of staff on duty.
Good products, great staff, not bad parking, local meats and produce
My favourite place to shop. Best deals on groceries in town. Always clean and the staff are very friendly.
The best friendly staff ever!
Very good service great deals
Like all the others grocery stores. Just shop your deals.
Great store reasonable prices
In my neighbourhood, they rarely run out of their specials. They have great sales and except quality on meat and produce. Service is always great and cleanliness. I appreciate their practices during covid, they follow the rules more than some grocery stores. Great overall.
Easy layout. Friendly staff. Always fresh food.
Country grocery is always good . Best prices and best produce in town . Staff is outstanding .
Good fresh baked goods. Good selection .
All good. Can't leave without at least a couple in store baked sourdough bread. Best since? You decide. I say Vancouver Sourdough from the old Venice Bakery. Long long search over
In my opinion, this is the best grocery store in Nanaimo. It is a little more expensive but like any other store these days shop the flyers ( which are excellent here) and you'll be fine. Best consistent produce in town. The staff here are amazing!!!
Workers are great, prefect layout, always have great produce, love this place. Stay it in my top 3 for grocery stores in Nanaimo. Pomme Naturals and Thriftys would be the other 2. But SuperStore in Nanaimo is always a good place for most things.
Love shopping local, staff are always very nice, great sales, and there produce always looks great. Also they are a great support to helping many local clubs for fundraisers and sponsorship of many programs around.
Luv this store....has everything I need, including a great vibe!
Ask for Joey. Tell him he's a nice man
I go here 3-5 times a week love it. I little bit pricier, but you get what you pay for.
Favorite grocery store. Staff is amazing. Store is clean.
Went in for a few items found some great deals, so stocked up my pantry
Best grocery store in Nanaimo the one on Bowen Road
Always like shopping there...great produce, staff etc...
Always good...luv that store!!
Good service here. Pricing is reasonable on most items. C-19 protocols in effect.
Nicest grocery store I've been to. Very good produce and baked goods. Feels classy to shop there.
Adorable market and well laid out with lots of options
Clean,well organized, very friendly staff. I love midweek specials.
A great store, Friendly staff, love their Bakery
Wonderful service, friendly staff. Great shopping experience. Thankyou
A bit too expensive for my taste but in general friendly staff and fresh food.
Clean!!❤ Most all staff friendly! Good selection but no choice of pepperoni. Just seems they favor Grimms
Amazing ladies in the bakery! Seriously though I ordered a special birthday cake for my daughter and it was spectacular!!! Very affordable and so yummy!
Someone keeps putting regular jujubes in with the sour jujubes. This is a crime and the person responsible should be fired and disciplined appropriately.
Always great customer service.
Good place for custom birthday cakes
Always great. Great deals and awesome customer service.
Locally owned and operated, my choice for groceries in Nanaimo.
Great service and excellent staff..... nice savings as well
I can get in, get out with last minute dinner ingredients without huge lines etc. Great variety and a nice selection of Gluten Free food items! I also love the wide range of plants, gifts and signs and flowers they carry.
Great grocery store, very clean, super friendly service. Competitive pricing.
Excellent little cafe in store with great food, for great prices. Also love the farmhouse/barn style of it, super cute. The grocery store itself is pretty great as well with amazing ac that makes you shiver even on the hottest days
Most reasonably priced local store with good selection.
Always good value for great products with awesome customer service!
I shop here almost daily. Great store with quality veggies and meat portions that are affordable and also packaged with a family in mind.
