The Whistler Grocery Store

This grocery store is a good choice if you’re staying in the Village and need to grab some groceries. It’s not a big store but it has a little bit of everything for you to stock up on. It’s also conveniently located next to the Government BC Liquor store which is a plus. The prices here a bit higher than other places but I guess you’re paying for the location and convenience if you’re staying around the village.
They have a good selection of prepared items that just need to be heated up in a microwave and also so pre-​seassoned meats you can make in your hotel room (if it’s equipped with a kitchen).

Good quick stop if u r staying in Whistler only a couple days and just wanted main ingredients like milk, cheese bread. They have a little of everything just not the biggest selection. Also a little tough to find stuff as it is a smaller store. If u have more time to shop and want a wider selection, go to IGA market. If not, this place will suit your needs.

Best to try other options. Despite Multiple phone calls and emails the groceries ordered and paid for were were NEVER delivered to our condo. Should of used nesters as recommended
Good news… Avalanche pizza in the village bakes a great pie

Reminds me of the grocery store in the heart of Waikiki yet the temperature difference is diametrically opposite. A good selection of everything you may need to stay fuelled up while spending your days heading down a mountain at high speeds. However pricing is a premium. Let’s say not quite double what you would pay at your local grocery store but easily 1.5 — 1.75 the price. The mega plus however is that a BC liquor store is adjacent and you can stock up on all the booze to keep you content and numb the pain that the hot tub won’t take away. Convenience is the factor here and it serves all the condos of the village. My recommendation is stock up in Vancouver or Squamish if you are driving up and only gather essentials you are missing if you have the chance. Otherwise don’t choke at the price of your bill.
Another handy feature here is there is a decent selection of prepared meals and they have a microwave on site to warm up if you want a cheaper lunch or dinner option.

The name of this store is actually «The Whistler Grocery Store.»
They carry a good selection of produce, meats, processed foods, canned goods, cleaning supplies, beverages (nonalcoholic) and toiletries.
I stopped in here to restock on toothpaste, antacid, skin moisturizer, bottled water, and V-​8 juice.
There alway is a lot of customers in here and they keep the line moving fairly well.

Not my first choice in stores. Actually among the three stores within easy walking distance of my house, this is my last choice. My impression is that it is a little more expensive than the IGA or Nesters, although some «convenience store» type items are about the same price. The selection is small because the store is small. Actually, it has the feel of a large convenience store. It gets really crowded there and because it’s so small the lines back up into the aisles at times. For those who think IGA and Nester’s have narrow aisles, take a look here. The people working there are pleasant enough, especially considering the size of the lines. I have been here on occasion and I will probably be back at some point, it’s not horrible, but there are better options unless you need food and the other stores are closed or something.

If you’re looking for good lip balms — absolutely essential in Whistler — skip Rexall & get them here. Good prices & selection when it comes to lip balms. I ended up buying 6 because they were so good. We also hit this place the first day we got to Whistler & got what we needed for our kitchenette, although things were a tag expensive compared to IGA, which we found later. Overall, we preferred IGA for their selection, location & prices but this place isn’t bad. Just not our first choice for shopping for essentials in Whistler. The extra bonus to this place is that they’re open til 11PM, which is spectacular if you happen to arrive later in the day & notice you forgot to pack your tea/​coffee for the next morning.

Living in the village this is super close for you to do grocery shopping! Do keep in mind that you are in Whistler so this is more on the expensive side than usual. Definitely a nice walk to get here from the hotels in the village. I like how clean and organized things are here. Staff here are friendly, they do have Canadian souvenirs you can purchase up front in case you forget to grab some. Cute souvenirs too! I’d definitely come back to this grocery store if I was in Whistler again and living in the village.

So we were looking for postal stamps and were directed to this market. Once we walked in, we realized that it’s a quaint little grocery store. Yes, prices are a little higher here, but you can pretty much find anything you are looking for here, including souvenirs… Especially Maple Syrup souvenirs!

This is a small grocery store in Whistler Village. They have a decent selection of produce, though their bananas were far from being ripe. My favorite finds at the Grocery Store were Hurraw Lip Balms, Tim Tams (from Australia), and Nature Path Hemp Oatmeal.
Their items were expensive, but hey you pay for convenience! It’s probably cheaper to buy some groceries here to make some meals in your condo if you’re staying for a week. Next door is a liquor store which is perfect! Bring some reusable bags to save on plastic. Those bags were wimpy.
The employees were nice and friendly. I always appreciate an employee who is efficient and patient.

Not the biggest grocery store, but it gets the job done and wow, its expensive! The IGA 10 min away is a tad cheaper and has more variety.

This is a tiny little grocery store, super expensive as with everything in Village proper. I recommend bringing food with you and using this as a last resort. It is always packed full, but is right next to the liquor store, so win there!

The Grocery Store (What a unique name!) make you feel like your in remote part of the Himalayas… the prices are so expensive and the selection is so small.
On the plus side, The Grocery Store is right on the village so the convenience factor is high. And despite the high prices, we saved on buying breakfast items here versus dining out during our stay.
Yet, on the negative side, this place is TINY. Try pushing through huge crowds along narrow aisles while finding milk for under $ 10. The selection is very small and limited to mostly basic. Even for Whistler, I found the prices on everything to quite a shock. $ 7 for basic granola cereal. $ 8 for non-​organic milk. $ 3 for a couple bananas. WOW. How do the locals handle this?
Anyways, this place is all about convenience on location and getting the necessities. Don’t expect to be impressed.

I liked this place. Items are expected to be a little bit on the pricier side but I don’t think they are exorbitant. Pre-​made salad was $ 4.25, bags of snap peas and mini carrots were $ 1.99 and Greek yogurt was $ 2.20. I guess it depends on what you purchase. Aisles are small to maneuver in but that’s because they try and pack a lot of selection in the tiny space. I’m not complaining too much there either. Store was clean and has an upscale grocery store feel.

Decent selection but expensive!

Hate that feeling of… «oh shoot I forgot the _​_​_​_​_​_​!» Have no fear because The Grocery Store has most all the common ingredients and items that people need to finish off that meal.
I came here to grab eggs and appreciated that it came in ½ dozen because my boyfriend and I didn’t need a full dozen. I found drinks here are cheaper that if you were to buy up on the mountain too.
A little on the pricey side compared to other grocery shops in Whistler but as expected in the heart of the village. Location is key for a quick and easy stop.
Note: Beware of it’s narrow aisles, which may lead to some uncomfortable squeezes with strangers.

Had all the essentials, excellent location near our hotel, and had excellent fresh Nanaimo bars! Great for stocking up.

The Grocery store is convenient because it is on the way out of the village and easily accessible. The downside is that it is extremely tiny and expensive…
Don’t get me wrong– I’ll probably still go there when I leave the village. But I know it’s probably smarter to go to
The Marketplace instead.
It’s all about location. That’s where the 2 stars come from… Location. Location. Location.

This place is cramped. It’s even more cramped in the winter when people are wearing maximum layers of clothing.
Surprisingly, the produce is cheaper here than any of the other grocery stores in Whistler. Organic lemon are cheaper than the non-​organic variety.
Packaged goods are way more expensive here than the other grocery stores in Whistler.
I give this place an extra star just because produce is the cheapest here of all the Whistler grocery stores.

Navigating the aisles of The Grocery Store is a bit like playing Donkey Kong in real life. Instead of jumping over barrels to advance platforms, our hero was forced to squeeze around parka-​donned skiers to get to the next aisle. Progress was vastly impeded by employees stocking shelves in every other aisle. How exactly this store works when there’s 6 people stocking shelves and 3 on the cash registers is not clear.
PROS:
— Conveniently located in Whistler Village.
CONS:
— Very narrow aisles.
— No shopping carts.
— Expensive prices, even for Whistler. $ 14 for a frozen pizza? $ 2.99 for the lowest grade microwave dinners? No thanks.
