Bonnie in Burnaby

I was about to move out and needed all the usual kitchen utensils, tools and accessories. I did not have the time to run from store to store looking for the best products and deals and I found that I didn't need to as Gourmet Warehouse stocks excellent products for very reasonable prices. Also, there are lots of specialty food items!

I was on the lookout for a new computer and my last per-assembled name brand computer had left me unimpressed. I decided to have one custom assembled for me with parts that were suitable for my needs. NCIX was very helpful in this matter and the prices were very reasonable.

I was looking for a live alternative to frozen bloodworms for my fish and after looking on the internet thought I would try live blackworms. Unfortunately not many pet shops carry or order them but Fraser Aquarium does! When I called, they knew exactly what I was talking about (unlike other stores) and after my first order, even knew me by name.

My fish were pretty sick with multiple kinds of illness. This included fin rot, lesions, and fungus. The medication selection was quite large and I was quite lost but the staff were super helpful in explaining what the medications were and selected the right products for me.

I was looking for basic tools for small home repairs. The staff were very helpful and did not make me feel awkward for being a female in a male-dominated store. Would definitely return.

Wanted to update the light fixtures in the dining room. Great selection with a lot of options that we did not see in other stores. A little pricey but worth it if you're looking for unique options.

Wanted a new colour in the living room and decided to try Benjamin Moore instead of the usual big box stores that I had gone to in the past. Was pleasantly surprised by the service and the quality of the product. I really liked the fact that you can get sample paint to try on your walls.

I was looking for inexpensive lighting that would make the basement hallways brighter. Unlike other lighting stores, they offered a great range of prices as well as various styles. Also, the staff were helpful and welcoming, unlike what i have encountered at big box stores.
