Reviews of Jan's Valu mart (Fruit Store)

Tom Myers

Dear valu mart... Your Ice cream fridge is alittle ice hairy. Kids love poking the Ice off. Good prices and usually friendly staff. It's clean and fresh.

Noella LeBreton

Thank you Céline for your help on January 26/21 regarding my purchase of grapes ???? over the phone and bringing them out to my truck...it was truly appreciated...Noella

Alec Storry

Way over priced, cramped store with poor quality food, it's worth it to make the trip to Petawawa

Don MacCulloch

Very pricey with small selection

Hendrik Pape

Friendly staff, excellent service!

North American Motorcycles

Small town grocery with friendly people to help. Bring your own bags, as they charge you if you need some. Prices are fair and reasonable.

Karen McElroy

Fabulous selection of fresh and quality products in small town Ontario! Thank you to Jan and all staff.

Rose Kennedy

Easy to find products. Staff are very pleasant and if you can't find spmrthing you just have to adl one of the staff

J Nelson

Overpriced on every item by about $2.00 and I frequently find that items I routinely buy are out of stock. I shop elsewhere when I have the opportunity for better prices. However; the staff are excellent and extremely friendly.

Todd Bilstein

They have most of what you need. Friendly staff.

Dad Nickers

Cheery staff, well stocked shelves

Great small town store. Prices are a bit high at times but overall a great store for such a small town.

Dan Laverdure

Andrea Martin

Jim Hutton

Great place; good selection and reasonable prices.

Lisa Ives Thurston

Wasnt expecting this many gluten free options in a small town, will be happy to get groceries here again instead of bringing some from elsewhere.

Isolation Chronicles: Part Six My mom lives in rural Ontario approximately 3 hours north of Ottawa (where we live, feeling helpless to help her with what she needed). She is in isolation, as are we, and doesn't have the luxury of many stores nearby (none in fact, closest being about 30 min away). Groceries under the best of times are a thought-out event for Mom, let alone during a pandemic! With bad asthma, we didn't want her to go out needlessly even for necessities. I contacted Jan's Valumart to see if there was anything they could do. They responded within minutes of my request, professionally and efficiently. The store was well stocked and had almost everything Mom needed AND they delivered to her (30 minutes away!) Contactless! Less than a few days later. WOW .. talk about taking care of your community. It was easy to pay with credit card over the phone, and her and her team were wonderful to deal with. Unsung heroes during these times of need. I was astonished by the care and attention given to my request. Thank you, Jan!

Once you start going more often, staff becomes more friendly, but initially I didn't love their client services.

Wonhyo Lee

Thank you for existing.

Nicole Chouinard

Everything in there

Tammy Arsenault

Great experience.

Rhonda Shee

Amazing produce.

Bill Boxall

Considering it's not one of the mega grocery stores, it has a very good selection. It has President's Choice, too, which is great, because I have PC Points.

Cynthia Conn

Had to go in three times to get what I needed for dinner (thanks to an absent-minded cook) so I had lots of time to assess this store! It was nice and clean with very nice produce, shelves were well stocked, floor associates very helpful asking if I needed help finding anything! The cashier I went thru the first two times was very friendly and efficient and I breezed right through the line up. She also knew how to properly pack grocery bags!!! ???????? When I went back for the third time in 10min, the line ups were 5-6 people deep, but another associate quickly jumped on cash and I was through in a flash again! Kudos, Valu Mart! Great job!!

Ruxandra Dranga

Good variety of fruit and veggies...

Mubarik Ahmad Siddiqui

Nice mall

Charlotte Jordan

Such a nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Organized and clean! Didn't get to meet Jan, but her staff was very accommodating. Thanx Jan for running such a nice store.

Helen B

A bit crowded by shelves but it does have some items you can't find elsewhere like chung king chow mein in cans that we haven't seen in years. It has a lot of stock and produce is good but just a bit narrow in the aisles.

Jason Walsh

Great spot to shop!

Pam Martin

This small town with big heart and Jan's Valu Mart is a big part of that

Marc-André Jean

Good selection

Chenoa Dowling

Not a wide selection of meat or produce..but adequate Staff friendly and helpful

George Burchart

Always well stocked with friendly staff, clean store and always multiple cash lines open.

Roy Knight

Jan's continues to improve it's setup. Servers are great.

Abhinav Kumar

For a small town, this store probably works as a life line. All grocery items along with many other things are available. Staff is very humble and helpful.

Adam Kerr

Always sold out of things on sale. They also list things for sale that are not actually on sale (example: they have had No Name peanut butter "on sale" for 3 months now but its the same price as they have always been so its not truthful. They just put the sale label on to move more products)

William Lucas

Crazy long line up at cash!

Lucas Beaulieu (OwenBeaulieu)

It's a grocery store offering PC rewards.

Frank Brown

Prices are about 30% higher than Pembroke, but there is a good selection.

Amanda Aylward

Very expensive for a grocery store. Quality is good but I'd rather drive to petawawa or pembroke, so I can get more for my money

Ross M

Nice eclectic selection.

B S

On the pricey side, and the store is always very cold. The butcher can cut good meat but is expensive. Overall, where else are you going to go? It's a good place to shop for fresh produce and the such.

Adrian Cecco

Picked up cooked wedges at the deli department at 5pm today, which were, as is often the case, rock hard (as if they were cooked hours ago) without almost any actual potatoe in them (i e. Just hard fried shells of oil). I wanted to purchase a bbq'ed chicken from the deli as well, but, as is almost always the case, they were sold out. Knowing they would likely be sold out, I tried calling the store several times between 4 and 4:30 to reserve one, but no one answered the phone. Any grocery store in a city that routinely had this pitiful selection of dinner food available at 5pm would go out of business in weeks. And don't get me started with the produce section that is routinely completely out of stock of several fruits and vegetables, and rarely has any bananas that aren't completely green.

Lilian Fang

nice place

Dakota Walker

Things are getting pretty expensive so I try to stay away

Darrell Dechene

Decent. Not cheap but besides the small grocery section in Giant Tiger, what are you going to do?

Kristi Evans

We went here to get lunch and it was a nice store that had everything. Even stuff on sale, for the garden. Ramona, was really nice to us very friendly.

tim wasmund

Great prices, freindly staff

Duane Avery

Small in comparison to the city, but they seemed to have everything in one place. Pharmacy next door was closed, but Jan's had what we needed, at the right time.

Les Neilson

Clean store, friendly professional staff who are always helpful.

Chris Ryan

Decent prices, and selection, modernish interior.

Will4bes

They're convenient for being located right downtown but with there closest competition being 30min away there prices are higher. The Staff is friendly and will help you find anything you're looking for if they have it.

BC “disco” Miller

Great selections!

Larry Kenny

It's so so

Uditha Senaratne

Fresh produce, very good selection of other food, earn and redeem PC points.

Tim

More competition is a good thing.

Soprano Island

I was astounded at the price of ground beef. It's not steak! Over-priced groceries must be sending consumers to Petawawa and Pembroke.

Ash 2Mouth

Whether you're looking for milk or almond flour Jans will have it. Friendly staff fantastic owner who does plenty for the community.

Alex Pilon

Open 8am to 6pm on Sundays

Ashlea Colton

Amazing variety for a small town grocery store but you pay top dollar for the selection. If you only buy sale items then it's good.

Craig

purchased 2 packs of "boneless skinless" chicken breasts from the store last week. its a good thing i was cutting the chicken up for fajitas and sliced chicken on a pasta becasue all 8 "boneless" skinless chicken breast were full of bones. Each breast has multiple bone chucks/fragments. with this it took extra time and precaution removing the bone so my family and children we not chewing or chocking on chicken bones.

Always friendly and helpful staff!!

Catherine Grills

Good variety of fresh vegetables and fruit

William Schermerhorn

Produce is always fresh. Alot of choices for brand names

A little pricey but the staff are so helpful and wonderful. They need to talk to their dairy stock man, he's really rude and the furthest from patients of the customer trying to shop.

JASON ARMSTRONG

Expensive but convenient

Todd Whitehorne

Expensive, often poorly stocked, slow to add a cashier when busy. Worth the drive to independent Petawawa.

Dann Dancey

Good selection and very helpfull staff.

Jake Vienneau

A little expensive but has a great selection considering it is a small store.
