Is it bad that I love this place? When I was living in the SoHo a few years ago, it was my go to place for snacks and scratch cards. I will always remember it fondly and will visit it whenever I need something.

I decided to check out JC foodland to switch it up since I’m normally a slave to the Rabba. A few things: 1) The ‘Foodland’ bit is totally deceiving. Foodland generally leads me to believe that there is a grocery store offering a land of food. Foodland didn’t really do that at all. 2) Since food was not the key theme, I would have to say randomness must be. There were convenience items such as shampoo, deodorant, etc. 3) It wasn’t very clean, the stuff on the shelves looked dusty and the store was kind of a clusterfuck of things. Granted it is winter, so I understand the muddy floors but it really didn’t look like they were trying to keep up appearances. The reason this store got a second star is because I went in for a 2L of pop and they had them in the fridge chillin. I appreciated that. Conclusion: With a Shoppers Drugmart and a Rabba within a block, there really isn’t a need to shop at this store.

Right across the street from my hotel, serviceable option if you want to stay close, although there are probably better options, for cheaper, a bit further away. They have a pretty great selection for the corner type grocer/convenient store. These places are always a bit on the pricey side but you pay for the convenience of course.
