Mandy Epprecht

It's bulk barn - always good. This time, there were tons of sales, fully stocked, and I appreciated that they gave me a coupon at checkout when I told them I didn't get mine in the mail. Saved me 5 bucks. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the store is very clean. No complaints here at all.

Anna-Maria E. Kuipers

Finally one can go in and choose you own amounts of product instead of prepackaged. This is great.

JT TITAN

Still open! Great staff. Be patient and stay safe

(Translated) Despite the new CNESST recommendations of June 28, 2021, the owner of Chicoutimi refuses that I shop without a mask on July 9, 2021. He says it is the company that refuses this regulation for all of its businesses. (Original) Malgré les nouvelles recommandations de la CNESST du 28.06.2021, le propriétaire de Chicoutimi refuse que je magasine sans masque le 09.07.2021. Il dit que c’est la compagnie qui refuse cette réglementation pour tous ses commerces.

Gary Haupt

We like the store. Friendly staff and clean. The prices are not what one might expect by the name...it is not a bargain bin...but the products are fresh and anything we have looked for is there.

(Translated) So many choices in bulk and so much candy ???? (Original) Tellement de choix en vrac et tellement des bonbons ????

Michael Walter

Bulk Barn is pretty great. As long as you know what you are looking for when you go in, you can find some decent material for cooking and baking that may be difficult to find at the regular grocery store. This location is usually well stocked, though I have found a couple of times recently that they were empty containers. Not sure if they just didn't have the inventory managed properly, or if it was really popular and sold out. Location is great, in the Stavengar Drive area.

Esther Frazer

Super glad to find wheat berries, MSG -free taco seasoning and 12 grain cereal here! Such a fun variety of noodle shapes and candies too! All very organized and clean.

Tyler P

Great selection of bulk items.

Cynthia Jaytan

I love that they have a program to bring in your own containers! I will buy things specially from here for that reason alone. Staff is always very friendly and accommodating, love this place keep up the good work! Would love to see more options for refillable personal products like shampoo, soaps, laundry detergent etc

Stephanie Fraser

Excellent service as always. Love this place.

(Translated) Great store, a lot of choice, I recommend it. (Original) Super magasin, énormément de choix, je le recommande.

T Clements

The grey haired lady is on a power trip. She is rude and disrespectful. I understand Covid protocol but she is too much. Yelling across the store is unacceptable. I took my business elsewhere and will not be back. I don’t need the abuse and bullying.

Sierra Feretos

Awesome thanks

Tim F

This location was wheelchair accessible, clean, followed covid protocols, with a wide selection of items as you would expect. They do cake pan rentals. They allow you to bring your own containers when covid protocols allow. Staff were knowledgeable, very friendly and great with kids. This location is clearly well managed and staffed by an amazing team.

Louis St-gelais

(Translated) I went there yesterday with my wife and I noticed two children with their mother open the lids and pulled into the bomb bin with both hands in turn. Even at one point the boy put his hand in a bucket of powder and all that the mother has done is to try his hand. At one point a girl who works there has left the children in the sweets. Not too hygienic instead. I pass my turn. (Original) J'y suis allé hier avec ma conjointe et j'ai remarqué deux enfants avec leur mère ouvrir les couvercles et pigé dans le bac à bombon à deux mains à tour de rôle. Même à un moment le petit garçon a mis sa main dans un bac de poudre quelconque et tout ce que la mère à faite c'est de lui essayer la main. À un moment une fille qui travaille là a laissé les enfants dans les bonbons. Pas trop hygiénique la place. Moi je passe mon tour.

Sandra Taylor

Always friendly

Magali Charest

(Translated) Always fun going to BulkBarn. Employees should smile a little more. (Original) Toujours amusant d’aller au BulkBarn. Les employés devraient sourire un peu plus.

Roxanne Bertrand

Almost everything!

Bobby Hines

Good for bulk stuff

Curt Arthur

Great planning and practice for Covid safety

Sebastian Kluth

(Translated) This Bulk Barn store is a bulk grocery store that offers drinks and food for all tastes, from different kinds of tea to noodles in all shapes and colors. The prices for all of these products are very reasonable. The store is well organized and very clean. The cashier was very polite and made sure people wash their hands and wear their masks in the store. (Original) Ce magasin de Bulk Barn est une épcierie en vrac qui offre des boissons et la nourriture pour tous les goûts, de différentes sortes de thé à des nouilles dans toutes les formes et couleurs. Les prix de tous ces produits sont très raisonnables. Le magasin est bien organisé et très propre. La caissière était très polie et a veillé à ce que les gens se lavent les mains et portent leurs masques dans le magasin.

Terry Vandament

Got to pay attention to prices

Andrew Denza

no, i cannot eat more

Ben Grantham

Excellent selection and staff. Great reusable container program, too. They can weigh your own containers when you come in, and then you can fill the containers directly. Very handy.

Alexander Barger

Huge selection of bulk just as you would expect. Good deals on most items and good sales in the flyers every week.

Kristy Hunter

During these times of covid, you need a mask, they provide gloves and you can shop there and look through there many items.

Poutine Spots

(Translated) Totally disagree with their covid system a compulsory mask no choice but gloves is totally absurd hand disinfection sorry but I am sorry to inform you that you are too much too much in your preventive actions !!!! (Original) Totalement en désaccord avec leur système de covid un masque obligatoire pas le choix mais des gants c'est totalement absurde désinfection des mains désolé mais je suis désolé de vous apprendre que vous êtes trop beaucoup trop dans vos actions préventives !!!!

Chuck Horne

Well stocked and very clean.

Daniel Jung

Bobbi-lyn Hennebury

The male store person today was an amazing person and very kind and helpful.

Praful Chand Alapati

I wouldn’t recommend this store coz staff has no clear knowledge and they are rude.I have been to many bulk barn stores before but this is worst.

Finnian Burnett

The manager of the penticton branch is absolutely the kindest, most helpful person! She always makes our visit pleasant and because of her, it's worth the drive to shop here!

Janice Newton

So happy that we can bring our own clean containers when shopping at Bulk Barn. No more plastic bags. Another reason to love Bulk Barn!

Eliott

Polite staff and high quality spices. I cook a lot of authentic south asian food and this place is best to get all the spices.

Dominic Malo

(Translated) Glad to have this type of shops great product diversity. Monitor prices often advantageous but not always. Mostly feel sometimes certain foods are rancid (Original) Content d'avoir ce type de boutiques grande diversité de produit. Surveiller les prix souvent avantageux mais pas toujours. Surtout sentir les aliments parfois certain sont rancie

Hannes Koch

I went in looking for organic popping corn. They don't sell it, they only had GMO corn. Employee told me all popping corn available anywhere in the world is GMO. I went to Bins and Bins, they had 2 varieties of organic, non-GMO popping corn.

ouida koetsier

The Bulk Barn has everything you can think of. Also cheaper than other places, & the quality is there They have disposable gloves for wearing when getting your stuff. They observe all the covid reguirements

Jamie-Lynn Morrison

Went today to grab a couple things ....we all know covid is here to stay for a long while and I work in healthcare and totally understand all that is covid and the cleaning required and how to do it properly under provincial cleaning practices....I also understand how challenging these new procedures are for people ....so with restrictions in place ppe needs to also be used and worn properly which isn't being done here despite the attempt...the cashier had the same pair of gloves on the whole time I was there, she checked out a handful of people( about 5 while I was there) touching their things with dirty gloves, the same gloves she checked out the previous person(s) with , also cleaned shopping carts with and opened the door for people with, wiped the counter with...gloves are not required or needed when hand sanitizer is in place and there is a hand washing sink, which staff should be using regularly during shift between hand sanitizer use, breaks etc...now the runner or personal shopper was very friendly but again never changed his gloves between customers and cleaned carts and served another person while touching our products with dirty gloves...see the use of gloves just spreads germs around from person the person , not helping prevent anything...next time I am there I will be asking for the gloves to be changed or removed before touching my things ..

Amir Ali Khan

Shafiqur Khan

A true hidden gem. Found all of the spices that I couldn't find in the other stores and then some. Looks like someone got a direct line to the British East India Company :P

Matt Reviews

My favorite place to shop in Penticton by a longshot. This place has NEVER let me down. I love Bulk Barn!

Etienne Houde

(Translated) Very good choice, everything whether for spices, products of all kinds, sweets, a store where you have to keep control of your expenses because everything is attractive. For the prices it is necessary to even be careful some its more expensive. (Original) Très bon choix, de tout que ce soit pour les épices, produits de tout es sortes, friandises, un magasin ou il faut gardé le contrôle de ses dépenses parce que tout est attirant. Pour les prix il faut qunad même faire attention certains son plus dispendieux.

Nathan Walker

It smells bad in there.

Dustin Teliske

Awesome bulk buy choices and prices

Jennifer Piuze

(Translated) The lady at the cash desk told me that my bags are not accepted because they do not know where it comes from and if they are clean. I explained to her that I wash them as we wash dishes and she kept her point. A bulk grocery store should encourage zero waste! (Original) La dame à la caisse m'a dit que mes sacs ne sont pas acceptés car il ne savent pas d'où ça vient et s'ils sont propres. Je lui ai expliqué que je les lave comme on lave des plats et elle a gardé son point. Une épicerie en vrac devrait encouragé le zéro déchet!

Linda Perry

Won't go back and support this store. Don't kid yourself, the dried fruit is full of bugs and flies and they cannot keep them out. That's what former employees say all the time. Also, I have a mask exemption and this owner is dumb enough to follow the government. Its okay because soon you will be shut down.

(Translated) New extraordinary store, really many choices for all tastes, will be a must stop when I go to Chicoutimi. A big plus for all those who do not want to buy items with huge packaging as is the case in many grocery stores and the fact that all are loose, it avoids the loss of food. I highly recommend it. thank you (Original) Nouveau magasin extraordinaire, vraiment beaucoup de choix pour tous les gouts, se sera un arrêt incontournable quand je me rends a Chicoutimi.

Al Abaster

We're all sick of the big C. To actually tell me I have to use hand sanitizer when entering and then proceed to explain to me how to follow the arrows! You want to hold my hand while I pick out spices too? Not one business has told me I had to use hand sanitizer. A bit much. I went back in without a mask and said I was medically exempt. Her words were " Please leave the store". It just shows they are so wrapped up with the big C that they don't care about their customers other health issues. Shame on them. Never again folks. I'll go to the one off Sheriff.

Deb in Okanagan

Understandably stock is low right now, no doubt due to Christmas baking and covid. But they are still excellent in their cleanliness and service.

M R

Awesome Staff! So helpful, especially during these challenging times. Excellent demonstration of what we should ALL be doing with regards to safe distancing while shopping. Thank you SO much, you are the best!

Francis T

(Translated) Bulk product fresh and very affordable !! (Original) Produit en vrac frais et tres abordable !!

Bobbie Hepburn

I do not recommend this store! I purchased a pet food product for approximately $100 and my pets refused to even touch it, even during their mad dash to collect before winter. It says a great deal about that product when a hungry wild animal won't even try it. Then the store refuses to refund the money and we believe changed the description on the original sign after getting the heads up from head office which I spoke with several days prior. This says a great deal about the store and their customer service and loyalty. I will never waste my money at this store again.
