Inspection summary

Big Eddy Market has been inspected 10 times by Interior Health Authority since April 30, 2013. The most recent inspection, on October 29, 2025, found no infractions.

6 of 10 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Handwashing and staff hygiene and Food temperature control.

The last 3 inspections in a row found no infractions. Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 3, 2019. For example: 7 Are foods protected from contamination?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on June 15, 2023. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on April 3, 2019. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded once on April 3, 2019. For example: 6 Are the premises designed and equipped to ensure safe food handling?

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

    Recorded once on March 23, 2017. For example: 4 - Are the premises, equipment and utensils designed and maintained to ensure safe and sanitary food handling?

      • Observation(s): 1. A portion of the wall in the walk-in cooler directly facing the door appears to be worn and has moisture damage. Please repair to avoid mould/cleanliness issues. 2. The thermometer in the walk-in cooler (an outdoor garden thermometer) may not be accurate and is hard to read. Please replace with a more accurate unit (preferably NSF certified). 3. Lighting in the walk-in unit is to be shatterproof. The incandescent bulb can be replaced with an LED bulb to achieve this. The sandwich fridge had broken down and was not being used at the time of visit. Please ensure the unit maintains a temperature of 4°C or colder prior to placing food back in the unit. In the interim, place a thermometer in any fridge storing sub sandwiches to ensure temperatures are maintained at 4°C or colder.

    Just went in to buy myself a sweet treat. The lady behind the counter was incredibly cold and rude, don’t know if she just had a bad day but either way will not be going back in there. Bad atmosphere.

  • Brittany Baumgartner

    Girl working was extremely rude—made me feel like I was ruining her day just by paying for gas. Also, if you prepay and don’t use the full amount, it doesn’t automatically go back on your card. I had no idea, and they told me I’d have to come back in person to get the rest of my money. Really frustrating experience.

  • Kobe Lage

    Was charged $139 instead of $13.90 for a purchase. I was refunded in Canadian dollars, but I am from America and am returning tomorrow, so Canadian physical currency is not ideal. Understanding that mix-ups happen, I hoped that the cashier would offer at least a discounted price from the items I purchased. This was not the case, even when I politely asked. So I paid full price for my items and was sent out the door. Very poor customer service.

  • Vocal Local

    This place was recommended to us by the people at the visitor centre in town. Gas here is cheaper than anywhere else in Revy. You have to pay inside, and the only only premium gas they have is marked gas. Convenience store has a good variety of grocery items for sale as well. Some prepared food available too.

  • Gord T

    Gas is always the cheapest in town. 8 to 10 cents a liter less. Nice older couple that own it.

  • Ansaoneil Datt

    The regular grade gas was absolute trash. The engine started making started making strange noises on a brand new car (Ford SUV). DO NOT BUY GAS FROM THIS GAS STATION. This will ruin your engine, your gas quality is awful at this gas station!!! Will ruin it.

  • Ryan Rinsma

    Cheapest gas in revelstoke this store has a little of everything! They even rent avalanche beacons and packs. Great subs and sandwiches. . Lots of Italian groceries locally owned Try their deli meats European sourced pasta and fresh baked goods.

  • Ryanna Hansen

    Older pumps require payment inside. Lots of options to purchase inside though prices were high. Older and off the main road. Gas was slightly cheaper here.

    Cheapest gas in town, free air for tires, amazing fried chicken (probably the best in town) cheap and delicious sandwiches and the most caring couple running the place. General/grocery store. What more could you ask for?

  • Cynthia Tuftin

    During a time of social change for us all, finding savings in fuel prices is always a bonus, even if you have to drive your rv off the beaten trail to save a dollar. But what we experienced was less than stellar at THE BIG EDDY MARKET; 1st …

  • Hallie MacDonald

    This family run gas station and restaurant / convenient store is a great place to shop at if your camping in the area. Selling deli meats, cheeses, homemade cabbage rolls, and homemade pepperoni.

  • Grant Smith

    Do not shop at this store. 0 stars. It is a truly horrible experience. The older woman there is the biggest witch I’ve ever encountered. I can’t imagine her having a job that requires her to interact with the public since her …

  • Diana Delwo

    Service was brisk and rude.We felt like trespassers and the prices were daylight robbery. We were apparently a huge inconvenience for shopping here, according to that witch's tone. I'm never ever going here again.

  • Cody Wood

    I wonder if the Old Hag's attitude at cash comes off as charming if you're a local and know this place. I'd siphon the fuel back into the pump if I could

  • James King

    They were so helpful to me when I showed up after 5 on a Saturday looking for emergency oil for my Mercedes.

    Six years later, the staff is still no friendlier. I went there on July 19th and 21st, 2024, and the woman who worked those two days was really in a bad mood. I later thought that perhaps she was hard of hearing and didn't understand that I wished her a very nice day. 😊 …
