Central Alberta Co-op Timberlands Food Store

Bright, clean and beautiful store. Produce was very fresh and the meat selection is fantastic!! I will now go no place else.

Was looking for something very specific, Peter helped with no hesitation and a happy disposition. Also saw me picking out flowers and had them wrapped ASAP! Thankyou Peter!!!

? Co-op Timberlands, an EXCELLENT Food Store containing an OUTSTANDING Pharmacy ? It's always a better day when one is able to make the choice of shopping @ a store that VERY obviously fosters an environment of community & proactive customer service. The most recent relevant point I'm compelled to make about Co-op is that they provide a safe shopping experience for people like me who are unable to wear a mask for medical reasons. Though I'd observed ~99% of customers wearing a mask during my recent visits, I was glad to learn that the Manager had ensured that his staff were informed in regards to both Red Deer's Face Coverings Bylaw & Alberta's Mask requirements including their exceptions & that I could have a safe & discrimination-free shopping experience @ Co-op Timberlands. This has been my go-to store since shortly after they'd opened. They have a great selection & the one time that I couldn't find a product that other Co-op locations carried, after an online request, the Manager(Troy) was able to bring it in... OUTSTANDING customer service!!! The Deli department is great! On the odd, special occasion I enjoy their sushi. It is likely the BEST grocery store sushi in Red Deer. The salmon/avocado roll is my favourite. Occasionally, we'll have another treat like their chicken tenders. Michael really stands out in this department as he dispenses that chicken. He's very friendly & personable, providing great customer service every time! Most of our shopping though is split between the Produce & Meat departments. The Produce department has some of the best, fresh Brussels sprouts I've seen this year right NOW & their leeks, for a leek lover like me, are usually tied for 1st place in all of Red Deer. They're normally firm yet tender & perfectly blanched. They often have things that are hard to find like celeriac, & the rosemary that I picked up today is going to make some great winter dishes that pack a punch. When it comes to the Meat department... you can always count on Linda for advice on things like your picks for what roast to buy based on the way you plan to cook it, etc. The beef is great & they often have great deals on frozen ribs & and a lot of other cuts. If you're a bacon lover, you must try the Co-op Gold Hardwood Smoked Bacon, it goes on sale often. If you're looking for anything in the rest of the aisles & didn't notice it, it's as if Emily is plugged into 'The Matrix' of inventory... anytime I don't know where something might be and I see Emily, I go to her because I know that she can direct me to the exact aisle/shelf/spot of it's location. If Emily isn't around & you pass by Vic, he's always happy to help. It's as if Vic's 6th sense is to know when someone is looking for something & to help them find it. There are a lot of great people here but Emily & Vic are like the T-1000's(Terminator 2 reference) of helping customers locate specific products in the aisles. There is no way to convey how OUTSTANDING the Pharmacy is... in simple terms, Jennifer manages THE BEST Pharmacy in Red Deer! This is undeniably the MOST friendly, MOST helpful Pharmacy that I've ever visited & that's coming from someone with an abundance of medical issues who relies a lot on the helpful advice of his Pharmacists. They play a major role in my health & the health of my family. We've recommended/referred most of our Family & Friends to this Pharmacy & they've all been VERY SATISFIED! This is a compounding-Pharmacy(not sterile-compounding, NO Pharmacy in Red Deer is a sterile-compounding Pharmacy) that ALWAYS has a better price than the competition. Some prescriptions that our Doctor has ordered compounded have been half of the price here at Co-op compared to anywhere else in town. Everyone in this Pharmacy is great! But Jennifer, Susan, Kelly & Breanne are OUTSTANDING! These people have played a major role in our positive health outcomes in the past year! There aren't enough ⭐'s available in this review section to show how OUTSTANDING & AMAZING that this Pharmacy is!! Co-op Timberlands is THE Essential Service of the Year!

This is the best pharmacy I've been to. The ladies are kind, understanding and so nice to deal with. I always have so many questions and they are totally paitent with me and so knowledgeable. Thank you for the great service !

Best bakery in Red Deer. Also excellent quality in their meat department, and check out the selection at the fresh meat/fish counter. Produce is fresh, and good selection of local items. Prices may be a bit higher than bigger stores, but the quality is worth it.

My wife and I love this place so much! Lots of parking, very clean and the friendliest staff all over Red Deer area. 10/10 for exceptional & friendly customer service!!! The veggie & fruit collection here is so fresh, we love getting ours from this grocery outlet. They also have a nice asian/international food collection as well. Shout-out & props to bro Aris (Arish?) at the sushi bar for accommodating our questions even if he was super occupied! He recommended the sushi he liked most and we loved it! He was so friendly and chatted with us liked old friends. Funny that all of us were wearing masks, but we felt he was smiling all throughout. Very exceptional and friendly service from bro Aris, we highly recommend him! Give him a raise or a promotion or something! And the sushi was simply awesome, especially the salmon sushi, all made fresh by sir Aris. We will always return to buy the sushi brother!

I give it a 3 just because I find it too expensive for regular everyday grocery shopping. I will stop in for a few items once in awhile because it might be convenient. But the quality of their products are good and the store is very clean.

Central Alberta Co-op in Timberlands Red Deer is located at #3101- 499 Timberlands Drive. This store is always super clean with well stocked shelves. The staff have always been friendly everytime I've gone in there! They have a large selection of pre-made ready to eat meals, like sandwiches, sushi, salads. These convenience items are a little pricier, but super handy when you're on the run! Thanks to the staff at Central Alberta Co-op Timberlands for the friendly service!
