Take a little tour with us…

Deli

First up is our deli, offering specialty meats and cheeses from around the world as well as perfectly prepared salads and deli-made spanikopita, sausage rolls and more. Our fresh and delicious made-to-order party platters are great for all occasions. The best fried chicken in Sooke, Chester’s Chicken is located just to the right of the main deli counter.

Bakery

Mmm, what’s that delicious aroma? Our bakery products are baked fresh daily… everything from bagels and breakfast muffins to dessert pastries and custom birthday cakes.

Butcher

Along the back wall of our store, our butcher shop offers a wide selection of quality meats, poultry and seafood. And if you don’t see what you want, simply speak with one of our staff and we’ll have your request prepared in no time.

Produce

You’ll find a wide variety of local and imported fruits and vegetables in our clean and colourful climate of our fresh produce department — with an expanded organic produce section. Too busy to prep food for your next gathering? Save time and let us do the peeling and chopping with our Garden Veggie or Orchard Fruit party platters, featuring our finest selections from our produce department.

Grocery & More

In between, you will find the most comprehensive grocery section of local and import items you can imagine — and then some. We stock gluten free, sugar free and other products for specific diets and are constantly adding products to our shelves to meet special customer requests — just ask.

All our checkouts accept Interac/Debit, MasterCard, Visa, American Express and cash and sell Village Food Markets gift cards. We also sell lottery tickets and bus passes at the Customer Service Desk. Near the entrance, you’ll also find pre-arranged fresh cut flowers for that special occasion (we do not have a custom floral section).
