I was watching the hockey game last night and Bulk Barn had a big on-ice logo at Rexall Place. I know they have come to Lethbridge. Hopefully more Alberta stores are on their way. I have missed it ever since moving from Ontario. Fri Oct 09 22:40:21 -0700 2009 13618 shanman99 1 5097048 this is the info on superpages....have not been there. do they carry organic bulk too? Bulk Barn Foods Ltd 2077 98 Street Nw, Mon Oct 12 09:44:55 -0700 2009 5092809 105701 cleopatra999 2 5103062 In Ontario, they tend to carry packaged Organics, but not as much in bulk. That could be changing though with increased demand. Thanks for the address. I can't find any other reference to it so maybe that is where they are going to open up. Wed Oct 14 12:57:53 -0700 2009 5097048 13618 shanman99 3 5103105 I would think that they must be open already. let me know what you find! Wed Oct 14 13:11:57 -0700 2009 5103062 105701 cleopatra999 1 5104478 I investigated in that area the other day, but couldn't find anything that looked like a storefront. I assume it is either well hidden, or a corporate office? This is the area around the Alberta Research Council, by the way. However, I could be wrong. Traffic was nasty and they weren't kind to a girl driving slowly, just trying to find some awesome bulk food items, so I didn't look as hard as I should have. A closer look at their website just shows an Alberta location in Lethbridge, by the way. Thu Oct 15 01:15:06 -0700 2009 5092809 176727 kazzy 2 5105541 I couldn't help but think it sounds strange that Bulk Barn would be in and around Alberta Research Council, so I googled the address and it came up as; The Great 88 2077 98 St NW, Edmonton (780) 469-1221 ‎ And the map shows the address to be just south of the Superstore in South Common. I usually stop in at the GNC right there (2057 98 St NW), and have never noticed a Bulk Barn. Thu Oct 15 10:52:55 -0700 2009 5104478 190434 raidar 3 5105836 maybe it is just a head office for now then. perhaps they are planning to open soon. odd that they are advertising on the ice though already. Thu Oct 15 12:15:20 -0700 2009 5105541 105701 cleopatra999 4 5109525 Hopefully with the Lethbridge store and with the on-ice ads it is part of a Westward expansion Fri Oct 16 19:14:20 -0700 2009 5105836 13618 shanman99 5 5112128 please, please let them come to Calgary. I can't believe there is no bulk food out this way...I too lived in Ontario and bulk barn was a weekly shopping stop... Sun Oct 18 09:33:59 -0700 2009 5109525 1100491 messier 3 5113525 *slaps self on head* I didn't think to google the address backwards. The Great 88 is a dollar store that closed a while ago, beside the Payless Shoes in S.E.Common. I hope they are renovating as we speak... Sun Oct 18 21:28:27 -0700 2009 5105541 176727 kazzy 1 5113852 Is it possible it's the building where Wal-mart used to be? Mon Oct 19 06:36:37 -0700 2009 5092809 231066 Boxytoes 2 5123416 It looks like it is really coming! I did a search and a bunch of job postings came up for the Bulk Barn (at the 2077 98 Street NW location that cleopatra999 posted). Do a search for Bulk Barn on jobbank.gc.ca The job postings are for a Nov 16 start, so hopefully it opens soon Can't wait! Thu Oct 22 13:55:20 -0700 2009 5113852 13618 shanman99 1 5143371 Just drove by this morning and things are coming along. The inside walls are painted yellow, and so is a big strip on the front fascia. A big dumpster was outside, and nothing really inside..so I imagine it's still a bit away. But you never know. I bet they could have it full of shelves and goodies in no time these days. Fri Oct 30 11:26:17 -0700 2009 5092809 190434 raidar 2 5162508 Any news on how it's coming along? I'm DIEING without Bulk Barn in Alberta...I just moved from Ontario and I just can't figure it out. No Bulk Barn?! They don't even have an alternative! Fri Nov 06 18:53:13 -0800 2009 5143371 88087 Navan 3 5162563 Nothing more that I could see yesterday. Fri Nov 06 19:34:09 -0800 2009 5162508 190434 raidar 3 5162660 there is one in Lethbridge and soon to be one in Medicine Hat Fri Nov 06 20:55:11 -0800 2009 5162508 244806 Bavin 2 5166078 Sign in the window says it is opening on Nov 25 Sun Nov 08 19:41:07 -0800 2009 5143371 13618 shanman99
