About Askew's Foods - Uptown Salmon Arm
A second location in the same city usually means a shorter drive for someone, or a lot with more room to park. Askew's Foods - Uptown Salmon Arm is the company's other Salmon Arm store, at 2701 11 Ave on the busier commercial stretch within easy reach of the Trans-Canada corridor, rather than down by the water.
For a household doing a full shop, the differences between one grocer and another come down to layout, which counters are staffed, and how far the load has to travel to the car. Larger stores usually run produce, meat, deli and bakery counters, take special orders for a roast or a party tray, and can put together bigger quantities given notice. Asking for that in advance rather than at the counter on a Saturday afternoon tends to get a better answer.
This side of town also catches through traffic. Highway travellers stopping to restock, people coming down from the mountainsides above the city, and residents of the outlying districts all end up in these blocks, which is why this stretch runs busier at midday than the blocks nearer the water. Anyone shopping around a holiday weekend in July or August should expect the summer population of the Shuswap rather than the winter one. With dairy on the valley bottoms and market growers throughout the district, the local shelf is also worth a look once late summer arrives and the harvest starts landing.
