Re: Groceries

Re: Groceries

This is the same for the 2 biggest commercial suppliers too (Sysco and GFS). Operate your business from a ski resort and delivered prices are higher than in a neighbouring town. Transport costs are...

Re: Groceries

This rings true for my business - non-perishables are a no brainer to get delivered, but fresh produce is hit and miss. I reject items like strawberries, bananas and salad items too frequently to...

Re: Groceries

Re: Groceries

Kamloops east to west takes 30 minutes drive time. North to south maybe a little more as it isn't served by a highway for a large proportion. There are small populations of a thousand or so in each...
