Reviews of The Blue Store (Foodmart & Video Inglewood) (Fish Shop)

Barry Rothwell

Great people; in this time; there prices are fair for a small local store especially since there almost the only game in Inglewood(neighborhood) Calgary

T Squarish

made to order full menu of sushi and it's excellent! and excellent ice cream too!

Tanya Thordarson

This is local place that used to go to relatively frequently. However, I was in there today and noticed that the cashier was not wearing a mask. When I mentioned that the store could get shut down because of her decision and she replied that they get a small fine ($50) and just carry on with no mask. Then she indicated that we "trust each other in this neighbourhood." What an absolutely asinine comment. They have lost my trust and my business as they clearly do not care about the welfare of their "neighbours." Mask wearing is apparently so difficult and painful that some people feel the need to fight it. I will take my business elsewhere from now on.

Blue store is great. Super friendly staff and a good vibe

Heard there was new owners so thought I'd take a look inside. I'm normally not one for picking up sushi from a grocery store but I'm glad I did! Picked up this roll which had nicely sized salmon and avocado. Salmon was fresh and good price ($6.99). The sushi is provided by Yakuza Sushi which seems to operate out of the store. The fried chicken is yummy too! Glad to have these new additions to the neighborhood.

I stopped going to this place because they use to cheat on the prices. Now I m only going if it is absolutely necessary but they keep on cheating and now also they are very rude. Super expensive low quality products. Better to avoid if it is not absolutely necessary.

This is an epic corner store!

Brian Kane

Love what they have done with this store! What a corner store should be and then some. Proud to have the new and improved Blue Store in Inglewood.

I had read about the updates to The Blue Store and heard about their delicious Korean fried chicken. We had the opportunity to try it the other day and were very impressed. It was light tasting, crispy and delicious. The spicy chilli strips are sooo good.

They have some of the coolest and rarest stuff like Oreo and Chips Ahoy popcorn, Korean goodies, noodles and Asian condiments that are hard to find in commercial groceries. They also have wide selection of dairies, fruits n veggies, Korean Fried Chicken and other Korean snacks, Frattelo’s coffee, household items and smoking vapes, cartridges and bongs.

Marcin Swoboda

So glad there is a reasonable convenience store in this area. Great when you need the odd thing like onion or fruit or bongs.

Wander Dazy

Best place for a walk by ice cream and walk around the area to see what is going on that day. A big one scoop is $3.

Bob McInnis

New owners are demonstrating great business sense and community spirit.

T Boz

This place is amazing! Great little market with an excellent selection of Asian foods, fresh produce and grocery and deli items. This may be the best corner store I’ve ever seen to be honest. They also serve in house made korean fried chicken and sushi that is to die for. I’ve lived in Inglewood for years and the facelift this place has gotten is amazing. I will be coming here more regularly for grocery items and yummy Asian food. Well done Blue Store! Five stars.

January Kohli

A little neighborhood bodega - it has fresh produce, an ice cream window, snacks, toys and great vibes.

Irene Kim

It’s an amazing place to shop with very friendly staff. Everything is great, the store design is totally changed, very clean & cozy.

John Roberts

The fresh food they make in house is no joke! It’s amazing! The sushi is on point The Korean fried chicken is a competitor with any other fried chicken The coffee is likely as good or better than any neighbouring barista can make for you. I’ve had it all and I will continue to. Plus everyone that works here, is so friendly!

K

Nikki M

Has everything you want and didn't know you needed

Boss Tattoo

Lindsay Gordon

Love the new additions of ice cream, Korean chicken, sushi and a coffee bar! More than just a grocery store now.

Nostalgic

Always have everything i need

Aiken

We're so glad we found this gem! Fun selection of goodies and delicious fried chicken and sushi at the back. I'm from Vancouver and found it very difficult to find reasonably priced sushi with good portions in Calgary. Ordered the Vancouver roll and was pleasantly surprised, generous portions of fish and great size (compared to other places I've been to). The fried chicken was delicious as well, we ordered the half-and-half fried drumsticks. It was a 20 minute wait, but we passed the time quickly browsing nearby shops. Will definitely come back here again.

Rob Schultz

Amazing neighborhood store. It’s quickly become an important part of the community. Great staff and constantly evolving product line.

Jake Finnan

This place is nothing like it used to be! It's actually worth going now! Great selection and friendly staff. Very happy to see the change. Will be going here regularly now, used to avoid it.

Esther Tang

Check out the Blue Store for their in house Korean Fried Chicken and sushi! The best of both worlds. The customer service is fantastic and food is great.

patricia marty

I had to update my review....since a new owner the place is so inviting and clean....I spoke to an employee and next time the manager of the store....gave them a couple suggestions which I believe they were very willing to think about....please stop in....

Luke Kaye

Hell yeah

Unca Grampa

The best. Such a cool store. Reminds me of bodegas in Brooklyn, but with way better food.

Daren Thomas

Friendly & convenient. They have more then you'd think!

Rene A

New owner and staff are awesome. Much needed in inglewood. Excellent selection for snacks and for whatever ingredients you may have forgotten and you’re in a pinch to make a recipe. They got sushi and korean chicken for takeouts or delivery. Icecream in the summertime. Honestly it brings such a good energy to the corner on 8th ave and 13th st.

Stan Bobrow

Love the ice cream - and the service - and the location

Hyuryun Kim

I love this unique place!!! HUGE RENOVATION here. Come and see this market change. Amazing!!

Cr. Dick

Some of the product are old. I bought the bread a month ago, but its date was expired. I do not wanna go there again. Algunos de esos productos son viejos. No quiero volver allí.

Le Steph

Love the new management! This place sure is spiffed up and stocked up with way more produce and goods. This store has saved us and our last minute late night cooking sessions more than once, so thank you! And welcome to the neighbourhood!

Jump Man

The lady at the counter was nice but that's about it. I paid for a chicken order and was told to wait 15 minutes. I ended up waiting 26 minutes before staff realized that my order was not even made. I got a refund but I ended up being late for work because of this. I had high hopes based on previous reviews but unfortunately I was let down.

Michael Scott

Awesome I've been going there since I was 8 year's old

Tiffany Bradly

Well. This store has come a long ways, But for the number of times I have been there at 1030 and they are closed,,, Ah! The old store was always open till 11pm and now they are closed far to early on a Friday night for example. Anyways I am hoping for longer hours one day soon. But love the ice cream!.

Sybille M

Amazing corner store, super friendly staff, great selection of all kinds of grocery items. Best part if you’re hungry…walk to the back of the store and order THE Best Korean fried chicken I’ve ever had and yummy sushi! This will be my new go-to after work to pick up dinner!!!

Ed McGowan

This store is one of the older buildings in Inglwood. It has always been a neighbourhood store and provided groceries and video rentals for many years. This last year it changed hands and is still a neighbourhood store for local community members. But, they have added a walk up window from which you can purchase an ice cream cone and have painted the side of the building in black and provide multicoured chalk the with which to leave a message to friend a, your outlook on life or solutions to various world problems. They have a pop up patio on the side street With picnic tables. It has been a great component for the community and now it is even better. So happy to see this happen. Check it out when you next visit Inglwood.

Great little place!! Looks amazing what they've done with it. And a cool hidden gem for ice cream too, all outside and never had to wait in a line. Would recommend checking this out on a hot day.

Hi, I love your store, you've done a great job. However, I have an issue with your staff not wearing masks. This is the third time this has happened this week. The Calgary mask bylaw is in effect until Monday June 5th, then it will be reviewed.
