    Balfour Supermart!!! An Amazing store. Amazing Wonderful staff, Isha and Jatin. So friendly and helpful. That store Has Everything a person needs while camping or any everyday items for ppl who live there or surrounding area. Prices are fantastic, selections of products great and great selection of beer, coolers and liquor too. We were camping nearby Kokanee Creek Prov Park. We shopped Daily there. ❤️

    I recently tried the pizza at Balfour superette and honestly, it was one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. The crust was perfectly cooked, the toppings were fresh, and every bite was full of flavor. You can really tell that care goes into making the food. A special thanks to Bhumika for preparing such a delicious pizza and providing such a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good pizza in Balfour!.

    I'm extremely disappointed with the service we received from the employee working the closing shift at this store on October 10th. Despite calling ahead to confirm closing time and arriving 5 minutes early, we were met with a rude attitude and the door was closed abruptly, preventing us from entering. It's clear this employee is not a good fit for your team. I strongly suggest re-evaluating their role and finding someone with better customer service skills. SHE IS THE WORST! Worst employee! Worst attitude! I was reading the reviews and I think its the same old sad, unhappy, ungrateful women! Again, to the owner consider changing your staff!

    A perfect one stop shop! Friendly and helpful staff and all the amenities you need.

  • Aaron Savoie

    Best customer services nice staff always try my to help you with your needs and go above and beyond

  • Brent Loach

    This normally friendly place that we have enjoyed every summer for 40* years is no longer so. There are new owners that are more interested in texting than providing any sort of speakable customer service. The cashier ringing me through literally stopped twice to respond to texts. No smiles, no eye contact, no thank you or have a nice day, nothing. I guess all good things eventually come to an end. Avoid giving your money to people who don’t appreciate your business. Avoid the Balfour Superette.

  • Katie Brown

    I have supported this store for many years but the current staff is extremely rude.

  • Carola Bloedorn

    The store has a surprisingly wide selection of beverages (alcoholic and non), fruits and veg, local products and gluten free products, all a reasonable prices. What surprised us most though was the friendly and helpful young couple running the store. Not at all what we were led to believe from previous comments!

  • Mark Linsley

    Great staff super helpful

  • John Hunter

    Horrible service. Mean spirited old woman behind the counter who seems to delight in being hurtful. Expired food on the shelves. Balfour deserves better than this. Go to Gill & Gift around the corner by the ferry terminal instead, they’re very kind and friendly there.

  • Dalton W

    This store has all of the essentials plus a little more, the prices are marked up which is expected for its size. What makes a customer leave feeling dissapointed is their service. The staff …

  • Chris Goggins

    I live nearby so I go here probably 10 times a week. Prices aren't too bad and there are a few gems, some good frozen meat and decent bread. …

  • smokindiesel

    The owner of this establishment needs some serious, serious help. He truly cannot control his impulsive reaction to assume that every customer is stealing. …

  • S MacKay

    Good variety, a little bit of everything

  • THOMAS G Willmett

    A great selection of beef jerky. I recommend the original. Also a good Gatorade selection. Although I always go for blue. A bus stop opposite going Nelson. Everyone was very friendly. Disabled access

  • Preston Weist

    Discriminated by staff multiple times. Store is clean, shelves are well stocked for dry goods. Veggies section was in good order.. very small meat section, nothing fresh. The "hardware" section is an assortment of odds ends and screws; …

  • Mike Bibby

    This is our local store, which we have supported for the last few years. Decent selection and friendly employees. HOWEVER the owner is so utterly rude and unpleasant that we don't intend to shop there any more. Not sure what his problem is, but he has zero concept of customer service.

  • Blue

    Went there for some beer and juice (cranberry, pineapple) and the lady was very nice, there are no complaints from me. She was very nice and smiling, and helped me with finding the pineapple juice and she did it with positivity and so for that thank you 😊 havent had a problem yet. …

  • Raine F

    Terrible experience today with the owner. He was power tripping b/c he thought I might be shoplifting, I understand loss prevention but it could have been handled in a way where I still felt comfortable enough to finish my purchase

  • Kathy Alexander

    For a "country" store, they have an amazing collection of items--you can find almost anything you might need. The women who work there are especially nice and competent. Very clean and well stocked.

  • BlinkofaStorm

    Overpriced, closes way too early and does not update their schedule, owner is aggresive and rude. Only survives because the next best option is a 20 minute drive and hold the monopoly in the area. Plan a trip to Safeway then going here.

  • Chris Leeson

    This is THE place to shop in or around Balfour. Because you literally have no other choice. The store is fairly well stocked, but even in the non-tourist season, the locals are treated to about 75% premium pricing on basic grocery items. If …

  • Those Boys Tho

    Owner is a total jerk, I didnt have shoes on when I entered the store so instead of asking me to go put some shoes on, he just blocked the door and barked "youre not coming in" over and over at me, not even explaining that it was because i …

  • Corinne Wilson

    Had the displeasure of meeting Jack the owner he was rude and very un helpful Will never go there again It wasn’t the first time I have ran into a rude staff member there. For a small town he should work on his customer service

  • Josh Collens

    The owner is a horrible waste of space. I refuse to ever buy anything from there ever again. The Gill and Gift over by the ferry terminal are way better to do business with.

  • Rob Johnson

    Friendly staff ... lots of stuff.

  • Chris Botterill

    I stop here everytime I go through Belfour to pick up a six pack and a pep and ched. If I'm not in a rush usually pick up one of the hitchhikers waiting across the road. Great selection of Ceasar making supplies.5 stars.

  • Patrick Gremell

    Fun little store, great variety of goods. They also have an extensive liquor selection as well. The staff and friendly and efficient.

  • shion major

    owner is a racist a**hole, stopped for chips next thing im stripping for the owner so he can see if i stole anything (my skin is brown) Lived in the kootenays my whole life and been there a million times but im not goin back, shame i used to really enjoy that place

  • Alfonzo

    Good selection, friendly staff, great hours year round. Everybody else shuts down earlier. No gas, but there is close by.

  • Lyle Brown

    Stopped in to grab a drink after taking the ferry over. They have Calypso Kiwi so that's awesome. Loaded up.

  • Lalaine Gutowski

    Rude owner & customer service. Have had other people say the same. As a local I won’t be spending my money here anymore. Very unfortunate because it’s a nice little store.

  • Kevin Rechsteiner

    No mask were worn by employees. They didn't follow their own procedures of how many people could be in store. Sold out of ice

  • oye alfonso

    Prices on shelf and in cashier dont match. Dont try telling them that! Used it because we had no option. They have fair variety of things which is good.

  • Lisa Tam

    When in Balfour, you can't not stop in this shop. It has everything you need so that you don't have to head into Nelson. They have Booze to hot dogs to ice cream.

  • Douglas Thompson

    Theres nothing to like abiut it the new owner is rude kicking out locals that have lived here their hole life he skyjacked all the prices treats people like crap i watched him as he yelled and screamed at the old owner while kicking her out we dont need people like this in a small down

  • Mike Orton

    For a small store they have a great selection including a small hardware section that often has that one thing you need! Great store to have near by.

  • Ian Morrison

    Almost everything you need. Groceries, liquor, hardware and good service.
