Askew's Foods - Sicamous, British Columbia

Can only rate the bathroom as it did not have the full service kitchen / bakery like Armstrong (amazing!) does , which is why I stopped.

Bathroom was stunning! People were very friendly

I love to support local and the friendly staff and service here are excellent. The have a great little bakery and deli and a good selection of produce as well as name brand food products throughout the store, unfortunately they don’t really cater to an Asian style diet so pickings are a little slim in that department with just the bare minimum generic and cliche items available also vegetarian or vegan items are difficult to find.
Although the produce section is well stocked with basic fresh items.
I really want support this place more but I find the pricing in most cases is at least 25% more than they should be and seem dedicated to Tourist trap style pricing rather than catering to local residents especially noticeable in the dairy and meat departments but also in the snacks, prepare to pay full rocket for pop or juice and snacks, which on average are 40% more than the norm, I really believe and wish that they would work with their suppliers to develop better pricing for their local customers many of whom are elderly and are unable to travel to Salmon Arm or Vernon for a lower grocery bill, most locals who can, choose to purchase their groceries elsewhere because of the high prices here, this is sad because Askews clearly loses business because of this.
The trick with Askews is to pick and choose carefully, wait for deals and support them where you can.

Fantastic store for such a small-town. We are very lucky to have a store like this in a town thats dead 8 months of the year. The prices are very fair for a smaller independent grocery store.

This is my favourite grocery store. We wish there was one closer to Kelowna. We had some Askew’s Italian sausage last night and they were the best I’ve ever had. Hardly any fat and the flavour was delicious. We also love the Laura’s frozen fruit pies. I can’t wait to go there again and stock up.

On the plus side, they have a small variety of everything; on the minus side, if you're looking for a specific item, may the odds be in your favor. It is clean, the staff very friendly and helpful, and no major waits at the checkout. It is a little expensive, and in the summer boating season, can be busy.
