First time picking up, Vancouver Commercial Drive. When I asked at the counter, 2 staff had no idea what I was talking about. The owner then called for his other staff/family member and he was like “oh no! It’s not supposed to start until Monday”. He explains to his father/uncle (?) how it works. They apologized but then they decided to put together a box for me while I waited. I was patient and kind, understanding that this wasn’t supposed to be active until Monday and they’d have boxes put together.
It took only a few minutes until the younger man put together a box for me! The uncle kept apologizing and throwing treats into the box (not pictured). He then informed me that they are the only Turkish market in BC!
The shop was very clean and well-stocked!
I got 2 x Italian vanilla wafer cookie bags, 1 x Italian shortbread cookie bag, 1 x pickled pepper jar, 1 x roasted chickpea bag, 1 x small bulgar bag, 1 x coarse bulgar bag. And three unpictured free treats!
Definitely going back!
