Blush Lane Organic Market Bridgeland - Calgary, Alberta

Love this place for its produce and staff. To be specific Festus, their security guard, is amazing! He is so helpful and kind (he knows how to pick out the best fruits). We’ve been customers for about a year now since moving to Calgary and he’s a friendly face we look forward to seeing. 🙂

I like the selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. Their meat department does not pack for families of 2. Their dry goods are average. They are unwilling to keep basics in stock to the point that it is easier for us to shop elsewhere, and we do now. Furthermore, Their on-floor staff are RUDE, woke and argumentative. We no longer shop here. Never again.

No, I won't reach out. I have put suggestion after suggestion into the suggestion box complaining about these issues. Guess what? Notthing happened. Blush lane is only responding to this review to do damage control. If Blush Lane cared about customers, these issues would not exist nor would they persist.

I'm not sure what "not matching my expectations" has to do with anything. It's a corporate non-response. My expectation is to deal with polite non-politicized staff and for the store to stock the products I need. Blush Lane fails hard in both of these areas and the condescending response from the "owner" is just more of the same.

One of my favorite markets. Sure some things are a bit more, but there are hidden surprises like the quality cold cuts in the deli from local producer Valbella that are cheaper than any other supermarket in town. Staff are well versed and they have plenty of great local produce of all sorts.

Great store with a fabulous selection. My only complaint is the pricing. I can easily find many of the products a dollar or two cheaper at other stores in town. That being said they have many specialty items that make it worth a visit.

Overall, it is a great store to purchase natural foods, beauty, and health products. The staff that work in health and beauty are the most caring service staff I have ever encountered. I've always felt valued whenever purchasing supplements for minor ailments.

I've lived in Bridgeland for 5 years, and Blushlane has been the shop I frequent most often, but since my most recent experience, I won't be returning. I arrived at the store around 8:15 pm and did my normal shopping. This day, I was wearing headphones and unfortunately did not hear the "10 minutes till closing" warning. I had asked for a sample of some protein powder because the previous one I purchased tastes... not great. The associate happily grabbed me a sample, and we had a brief conversation. She informed me it was 8:55 and she needed to go. As I had completed most of my shopping, with the exception of some bulk items, I was not rushing, but I knew I had to leave. I was then approached by who I assumed was the manager and he told me I needed to go to checkout IMMEDIATELY. I told him I just needed to grab two bulk items, and I was done. He proceeded to follow me to the bulk section, watching me put salt and sugar in the bags provided. I saw they had raw pumpkin seeds in bulk so I decided to grab some as well. Apparently this crossed the line as he said, "You said you were getting two bulk things, not three." At this point I was extremely uncomfortable and felt like I was doing something wrong so I rushed to the till. I arrived at the cashier at 8:58 and found the manager BLOCKING me from going back into the aisles(as if I wanted to be in there any longer than I needed to be).

After the cashier rang my 14 items through, she said that she needed to clock out as it was 9pm. I understand that the store closes at 9pm but essentially kicking me out of the store? Ive worked in many retail stores and I would never imagine treating someone like this. I have ADHD so keeping track of time is hard for me. I wasn't wandering around, I wasn't messing up the shelves, so I'm confused as to why I was treated like a neausance. For a store that promotes "health and wellness", I left anxious and unwelcome. Just because the store closes at 9 doesn't mean the staff clock our at 9?

I've never experienced anything like this before. If you are a late shopper don't go here.

Seems it’s more important for certain staff to chat with her coworkers than helping customers
The security guard is doing a much better job in that regard.

Our favorite shop for delicious bread, milk and fresh vegetables and fruits. There working very kind and caring people. Sometimes putting on hold those items that I need for my family. Very much appreciate their care and help.
