Friesen's General Store

I was told by my friend about this store so I decided to come and visit. I was impressed by the stock items that they have on their store, include so many good items from Costco such as organic avocado oil, organic olive oil, coconut oil, organic sugar, and basmati rice. Those are the items the I used to buy when I was still in Calgary. Now I know where to buy our monthly stock and it is only 15 minutes drive from Fort Vermilion. Such a great idea to provide Costco items in this isolate place. Thank you and well done!

I visited Friesen's in the 80's a few times and have talked about that store many times since. Back then, I remember they had a butcher shop in the back and the floors were covered in sawdust to absorb the blood from fresh meat purchases. I supposed it's changed since, but from reading the other reviews, they still have everything you need..... as a General Store should. I retain a wonderful memory of this place..... just wish you had pictures of what it looks like now.

Excellent service and a lot of selection at this old time country general store. They have everything you want at FRIESENS GENERAL STORE.

They sell wings and shrimp from Costco! And there prices are now lower under the new management!

Santa Fe closed in 2006. Some reviews are not very timely :-)
