Why You Might Consider Alternatives
- Stock Availability: While generally well-stocked, occasionally items are out of stock due to supply chain issues (possibly related to COVID). Patience is sometimes required while waiting for new orders.
- Loss of Character: Although the new location addresses issues of the old store, some shoppers miss the unique character of the previous, smaller store.
- Concerning Reports: Be aware of reports suggesting discriminatory treatment of Inuit people. This is a serious concern that should be investigated further.
