Stores and Services

Whenever there is a need to buy clothes, supplies or accesories, my main destination is always the Orchard Park Mall as it offers a wide variety of choices for a same service/items. While growing up and living with my parents, I was taught that the best way to find something you are looking for is to drive/walk to the biggest mall in town and search inside as there is high chance you will find it. But, is that the best option?

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Instead of wasting gas money and time getting to the mall in town, check out your local neighbourhood first. You can find convenience stores, small businesses, restaurants which are often run by families of your own community.

Every time a recommendation is given it will always be biased because of preferences and/or familiarity. Thus the following section will only describe, in as much details as possible, what each establishment offers and it would be up to your own judgement to decide if what is offered meets your standards.

The classic "Save N' Savour" convenience store located in the intersection between Rutland Road and Hartman Road was replaced at the start of 2022 by a ONE STOP convenience store (owned by CANCO, https://www.cancopetroleum.ca/#home). The inside of the premise got a fresh paint as well as the outside (removing the iconic graffiti on its side) and a brand new orange sign on the front door. There are new services offered on top of the old known ones:

• "Chester's, Chicken on the Run": the store sells Chester's famous double-breaded fried chicken as well as: chicken tenders, potato wedges (called "mojos"), macaroni salad, dip sauces, coleslaw and as expected you can get combos or meals (for a cheaper price) instead of just individual items.

• Bus Passes: in collaboration with BC Transit and the Kelowna Regional Transit, the store offers day-passes, monthly passes and 1-day passes to their customers.

• Ice Cold Products: Slushy (flavoured ice + soda drink), ice creams, screamers (part slushy part ice cream), classic ice cream and fountain pops.

• Electronics: iPhone chargers, phone-car adapters and gift cards for online platforms (Minecraft, Roblox, STEAM, etc).

• Lottery Tickets: LOTTO MAX

• ATM: for any quick-access cash withdrawal purposes

• Gas Supply: Propane

• Toiletries: Paper Towel, tissues, toilet paper, toothpaste, etc.

Most of the mentioned products are available to delivery via Skip the Dishes (link: https://www.skipthedishes.com) or DoorDash (link: https://www.doordash.com)
