This is a message of thanks and appreciation for Arden Fowler, Manager at Stong's in North Vancouver. On Saturday, May 2nd I shopped at your store as my partner and two dogs waited in the car. I made a mistake travelling down the shopping aisle against the arrows on the floor. What ensued was a vulgar expression of words and hand signals from… another customer that left me shaken and disturbed. I immediately reported the incident to a clerk who then immediately called the Manager, Arden Fowler.
I was very impressed with Arden's prompt response to this upsetting incident. Bullying and vulgar

Placed an online order on Monday morning with a promised delivery on Wednesday, store cancelled the order on Tuesday saying some items not available. They did not say which items were not available. They could have delayed the order until missing items are available. Not very good service. I went to IGA on West Broadway and found all the items that were ordered from Stong's and cheaper. Stong's has Dunbar pricing. IGA is owned by London Drugs, so a bigger company. The suppliers must be the same for both IGA and Stong's. Stong's could have delayed shipping until everything

I love shopping here ! The grandkids enjoy looking for the items on my grocery list. We start the shop off playing where is the plastic bag and what is the price of this item. Then we get to play where did the item move this week as the groceries seem to move around a lot or they have some really odd places to be found. But this is why the children love coming shopping here with me. A unique experience and guess it works like who would have thought the fresh smell of popcorn popping with the mixing aroma of coffee combination would blend so well together.

Having correct prices and origins of products especially produce clearly listed. When I shop here I also have to check my receipt as more often then not something is incorrect. Produce department use to be good but lots of times missing basic essentials like yellow onions, garlic or potatoes. Frustrating when need to visit more then one store to get the essentials.

Basically, I like Stong's a lot- a great small grocery store, efficient and lots of great choices, BUT, I had their Chicken Pot Pie for the first time, and although the flavour was great with lots of vegetables, and was delicious, where was the CHICKEN??? I don't think there was even one piece of chicken. Let me know Yelpers!! BUT, I will still patronize Stong's. Thanks.

My impressions about Stong's Market
My first visit last year in October was great at Stong's cafe. Friendly service and good coffee, cookies, cupcakes etc.
The friendly coffee team brought me later to the market.
An average market, with no big highlights.
I am not so happy bout these things:
3 of 12 shoppings were billed incorrectly and always to high. ;-(
The cashiers have probably "no information" or "did not" pay attention to the price offers of the week, so that constantly wrong prices are calculated. No matter what it may be, bad training or whatever, you

There's underground parking in the building which is nice.
Cute little store but much smaller than their previous location. Felt pretty cramped in there.
This isn't something the store can control and it's unfair to knock them for it but I can't help it: I really dislike the people who shop here. I have never met a group of more pretentious people in any other grocery store and that includes Urban Fare and Whole Foods. Several people walked side by side together chatting loudly (I could hear them 3-4 aisles away) to the point you had to move aside so they could walk together

Our favorite grocery store in Vancouver because it reminds us of Trader Joe's and Newport Market in Bend, OR.
I love Stong's flower arrangements that perfume the air as you enter the store. Plus their bouquets are the perfect gift (even/especially when buying for yourself).
I also like how kombucha and mate is kept close to the checkout lines so I can stock up before my husband has finished emptying our cart.
Even if it's not the closest grocery store to our home we enjoy making the trip for quality products.

We do the internet shop & delivery - the service is amazing! We get good prices, easy delivery options, and they always do it properly. Today, they came back after the delivery with fresh bread...because they could not deliver it earlier as it was too warm to bake.
So not only is bread super fresh and high quality, the service is impeccable.
i can recommend the seafood, the deli and healthy products - the quality and freshness rival or surpass local farmers markets.

Wow.
I was SO impressed with this grocery store!
Where to start? This was to be our family's first Passover here in our new home city of Vancouver and I had no idea where to get a good brisket. A long-standing Vancouverite friend of mine suggested Stong's, so three weeks earlier, I emailed the store, asking how to go about pre-ordering a brisket, noting the size I needed and when I wished to pick it up. The next day, I received an email response from Chris D. in the meat department, and we made all the arrangements.
Fast forward to this week: I came to this store to get my long-awaited

I have lived in Dunbar for 20 years and used to avoid Stong's (except for meat) because their prices were always higher than the chains. That's changed since they move/ re-opened; way more competitive :)
But my fave reason for going is the meat dept staff. My dealings with the experienced staff (meaning older, the young ones are fine... but...) are always great - good advice etc but mostly I find them enthusiastic / genuinely interested in what I want to cook/eat.
I also love how so many old-timers stayed/came back. It's still a great "community" shopping experience.

Cute locally owned grocery store on Dunbar. They're open early and they don't close till 10:30, even on Sundays. I love how their website features online shopping, so you can search for specific items that you might be looking for. They carry a great variety of natural and cruelty free products, which aren't normally found in typical grocery and drug stores. I really appreciate this! They've also got a small but really nice floral department.
To top it off, all the cashiers are really friendly!

Customer service awesome. Went in one day looking for my favourite soup on
sale. Asst manager helped me load a few into my scooter basket. Six months later I entered store, he was nearby and he said " Your favourite soup is on sale, can I give you a hand?" I go to the store about 3 times a month, and had not discussed soup with him since the first time.. As a scooter user, I often need assistance reaching things, clerks and managers will go with me wherever I need their help and are very friendly. First time in new store manager gave me little tour so I would know where elevator was

Greta selection for all sorts of food related products. I popped in Wednesday, May 24th around 11:30 am.
The deli is very well stocked and this one staff member (sorry, can't recall you name ) was wonderful and uber helpful. I got s few goodies including British crips - yah!
I also grabbed a latte which wasn't anything special and the lady at the coffee area wasn't a happy camper. Probably a tough day but a simple acknowledgement of my thank you would have been appreciated

I shop at a bunch of different grocery stores. I like the ham from Stong's. I buy milk from Save-On and Safeway. Stong's is very convenient. You can get a wide variety of products. They have local items. They have good specials and sales. Good staff. Huge variety of cheese. The quality of the produce and meet (and fish) is excellent. Lots of prepared food, sushi, hummus, etc. Classier than the old location. Haven't used parking, only walking so far. You can park right in front of the store - street parking. There is a bus stop right in front. Finally the flyer is in colour.

Stong's is by far the best grocery store you could go to in the Lower Mainland. They are everything to everyone.
Whether you're the health conscious, eco-aware, or even both, they are that type of store to you. That super hero Stong's bear in the parking lot isn't just a cute show piece, it is representative of their service and dedication to grocery goods.
This hyper-local grocery store not only offers top notch products, earth friendly bags, healthy alternatives, fresh produce and meats they do it all in that true blue understated way.

Stong's is very much a community market. When I was fund-raising for charity 18 months ago, Stong's came through with letting us raffle off a grocery gift certificate from the store. The manager on duty also helped us set up, checked in with us throughout the day, and just all-around wanted to help.
I've purchased the odd load of groceries here as well (it's a little far to be my normal spot) and find the produce and baked goods in particular to be excellent. And while you'd expect their prices to be the boutique version of Safeway, here's a comparison: Safeway coffee
