Lishman's City Market

Lishman's is the kind of grocery store that reminds me of being a kid.Did you ever visit the Sureway in Grand Isle in the 1980s? If so, you will understand what I mean when I say this store is very similar. If you didn't, visit and you'll get it.Lishman's is small. That doesn't mean you'll need a trip somewhere else to complete your shopping for the week. Since I don't live in Lacombe this isn't my go-to spot for groceries. What is is though is a great place to stop for an item or two as I pass through the area.Because the store is small compared to a Rouses, the aisles seem more narrow and packed to the gills with stuff. Passing another shopper requires patience, but most of us need more of that in our lives anyway. The meat section and produce section are smaller too, but again, they really have pretty much everything you need.There are two or three checkout lines that are staffed with super friendly cashiers and lines move quickly.Another thing that is different than many stores are the other customers. The last time I stopped in I must've been greeted by two people in the parking lot and three in the store. Maybe they weren't used to seeing a giant rando, but everyone was super friendly.If you find yourself in Lacombe and you need groceries, this is where you should shop.

A good selection at this mom and pop grocery store. Congenial people working here. Prices average to slightly below. Quality is good.

Very clean with friendly staff. Not a huge market but it's sufficient for most items. Not much gluten free.

Nice, small grocery with just about everything one needs. Their rotisserie chickens are the most flavorful I've found. Meat department has been upgraded. Very friendly staff.
