Grant's is great for getting some ethnic ingredients - including Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Japanese and some European items. They have a butcher section with some pretty cheap cuts of meat. The fish section is okay...enough selection for most. They have a fruits and vegetables section with a good variety of produce. Great prices on the produce and I can usually find the harder to find produce that you need for specific ethnic recipes. The best thing about going to Grant's is getting your bill and realizing how much you get for the money you spent.

I would give it a 4 BUT they desperately need to change the set up by the entrance so am giving it a 3. It gets pretty crowded at times and you couldn't help but be annoyed a little bit. Especially when the staff is trying to put away the products, or people stopping at the entrance with their carts blocking the way (they do it because the sale vegetable/fruit stand is right outside the door, but man, it can be pretty annoying since the pathway is VERY NARROW).
Other than that, this place is good for grocery shopping. It's a little bit more inexpensive on the FOOD compared to other asian's stores I've shopped at based on the amount of food I get for the price I pay for. So do shop here!
If your thinking of purchasing beauty or health related products... your better off going to walmart since their prices are a little expensive at grants. Just saying.
In terms of atmosphere, well... it's okay. It's clean at most times but the surroundings can get a little messy when they get busy. Completely understandable but it shouldn't have to be like that in most cases. If I would rate their up keeping it would be a 2.
And I would like to point out that the bakery section is close to the entrance so am not sure how I feel about that. I wish they would put it in a much more "sanitary" place around the premises just AWAY from the door.
Their meat section is always packed with great prices (if you love meat), while the seafood (which is located at the back by the vegetable section) is okay in price but not extensive if your looking for more variety.
What I like about Grant's is that they sell selections of food from the Philippines, Japanese, Cantonese, Korean, European, and some Indian products too. I definitely appreciate the diversity of this grocery store but just dont expect too much from them since some of the stuff I want (like a bottled Milk Tea drink from Japan) isn't sold here. You can only get that from another asian grocery store around Mississauga.
They always have cashiers ready at hand so rest assured you wont see one or two lanes open only. It's a fast paced environment so you wont wait long to grab your groceries and go.
