Tonight we finished up at the farm and driving home Kerry decided he wanted garlic bread with the spaghetti we were planning for dinner. I did not want garlic bread because I find pasta dishes filling enough without it. But he wasn't giving in. Garlic bread or nothing. And so we headed to Price Smart Foods around 7pm because they are closed at 10pm nightly. That's the one in the shopping plaza on 64th Avenue and 176th Street next to London Drugs.
I decided there were a couple of things I needed to pick up at Price Smart Foods. Nothing urgent but seeing as how we were going there anyway I could use milk and cranberry juice.
We arrived in the parking lot about 7:15 and the lot was empty. No cars! What's going on? We drove up to the store and it was shut down with the iron gates pulled tight and nobody inside. There was no updates on the door advising they'd be shutting down early.
I wonder if there was a robbery. No police cars in sight, but if the place was robbed earlier in the afternoon standard procedure would be to close for the rest of the day and put a sign up explaining why.
No signs posted.
Price Smart was open earlier this morning when we'd driven past.
Very weird. I can see them closing early on Thanksgiving - tomorrow, Monday October 12 - because that's a stat holiday. But closing early on the Sunday evening before Thanksgiving? I mean that would just tick people off who realize they don't have something in the house and need to run out and buy a can of cranberries or something.
There is nothing on the website. I wonder what happened. I sure hope all staff and any customers involved are OK.
