Your Trusted Grocery Store in Revelstoke Since 1977
Since 1977, we have been a cornerstone of the Revelstoke community, evolving from a small neighborhood grocery into a destination for global culinary exploration. Our journey began with a commitment to quality and local sourcing, which expanded as we embraced our role as a specialty Italian grocer before broadening our horizons to include flavors from around the world. Today, we pride ourselves on offering fresh, high-quality produce, meats, and pantry items that reflect both our roots and our global curiosity. Our deli and bakery provide house-made specialties like slow-roasted beef and daily-baked breads, including gluten-free options, while our international aisle features everything from Italian cured meats to Thai curry paste. We actively seek customer input to refine our selection, ensuring our shelves mirror the diverse tastes of our community.With a focus on health-conscious choices like organic and low-sodium products, we strive to support active lifestyles through carefully curated wellness offerings. Our hand-cut local meats and partnerships with BC farmers underscore our dedication to regional producers. We operate daily from 8 AM to 7 PM, welcoming customers to explore our ever-evolving collection of global and local goods. Our team approaches every interaction with the belief that food is a sincere expression of care, which drives our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. As we look to the future, we remain rooted in the philosophy that home is where the heart iswhether that heart beats in Italy, Vietnam, or right here in Revelstoke.

I have boycotted everything that supports the Isreali apartheid. So I don't go to the Save on Food in town anymore. I've been more conscious where I'm spending my money. Hence I have switched to buying everything locally. Southside is a locally owned grocery store. And it has a good variety of local products. I have boycotted pepsico and Coca-Cola company. So now I buy Kicking back cola from Western family brand for my pop.

MICHELLE & CHRIS MADE ME LOVE SOUTHSIDE AGAIN! As a lifetime local in Revy, we’ve seen some scary ownership at Southside and really sketchy/expired foods in the aisles or freezer burnt items... but I’ve said time and time again, and finally tracked down Michelle to let her know that they have really turned the place around. Southside has so much to offer and has so many items you can’t get at Save On. The prices are competitive and the cleanliness and service is top notch. Thank you Michelle & Chris for taking Revy’s little market and bringing it’s magic back
