Nice store but the most surly miserable butcher I have ever encountered. Extremely unpleasant interaction with someone that should not be dealing with customers.
The aisles are too narrow. The back wall with the out swinging cooler doors presents challenges, as does the meat island in that section. I want be shopping there on a regular basis.
The renovations are complete, auto tellers are available, the Deli has expanded its space and offerings for the public, and the staff are trained, competent, and politely attentive to customers. What a relief!
Am I the only one who can't stand the smell of this store? It emanates from the meat/fish department. I avoid the aisles near the meat/fish department and avoid the store if I can.
Produce and service is otherwise really good.

Since Sobeys took over some things have changed. I noticed ALL apples are $2.99/ pound. Carrots are only sold prepackaged- in large plastic bags, or in a group with a rubber band around it. I tried the latter one day. Tasted really bland. Avocados are about $2.99 each every day. What happened?
I prefer Market on Yates or The Root Cellar. Delicious carrots! It’s easy to tell what is fresh because they leave some green on the end. Almost like dessert. Something in produce is always on sale at either store.

Excellent Location in Fairfield. Washroom available for customers, just ask. Easy Parking, on University Bus Route. Excellent selection and price. Newly renovated and up dated. Wonderful staff.
After one month in Victoria, visiting from Montreal, I must say Victoria's have strange ideas regarding the meaning of "thrifty", "dirt cheap" and the like. Prices are 30 to 40% higher than in Montreal, with some products reaching double the price (see berries ). I also found prices between various local grocery shops quite similar. You'll get fairer prices at Walmart (sadly!).
