Lucky Loonies has been part of the Clover Square Village since the strip mall opened about 8 or 10 years ago on the corner of Highway 10 and 177B Street. I know I've been in there throughout the years to pick up a few things. For some reason I can always find baggies there when I can't find them at Price Smart or London Drugs.
What's up with baggies anyway? I cram a few into my pockets because I walk my dogs all over Cloverdale and have to clean up after them. I go to Price Smart or London Drugs and half the time they aren't on the shelf. I just want the regular flip flop fold the top. I don't care about the brand. Generic or name brand. Whatever. Its just going to get flushed down the toilet when I get home. What I do not want or the zipper lock bags that seem to be the only thing on the shelves whenever I go shopping. Even at Walmart - same problem. I do not need to spend extra money on a zip lock when its only going to get flushed with its contents when I get home from walking the dogs.
So after an unsucessful buying mission at London Drugs and Price Smart a few weeks ago I went over to Lucky Loonies. They had a sign out saying 30% off everything in the store. Sounds good. Instead of buying a couple of boxes of baggies I bought 6. I even bought a chocolate bar! I asked the clerk what was up with the sale. Were they going out of business? Nope. Just spring cleaning, wanted to unload inventory and restock.
We stopped by this past weekend and now there's a sign on Lucky Loonies saying 50% off, closing out sale. Oh no! I rush down the aisle where the baggies are kept and the shelves are bare. Gee if I want bare shelves I can go to Price Smart! Most of the shelves were very sparse so I'm guessing they are closing their doors for good at the end of April.
Too bad. That's another Cloverdale business gone by the wayside and several people who are finding themselves without a job.
And no other dollar store in town.
