Blush Lane Organic Market Aspen Woods

Love this place! Shop here often. Always variety, lots of organic produce. The staff are friendly and helpful and it’s nice that they have organic chicken and bacon which are difficult to find.

I gave it two stars because of lots of parking and the store was super clean.

Tell your Secuirty guard or floor walker to lay off and stop stalking your customers. Made a point of following me and when I got fed up and walked out, he did it to my wife! I’ll never go back. I understand watching and keeping an eye out, but plain old stalking isle to produce to isle…come on. When making a comment to a lady up front literally got a - then leave if you don’t like it. So I did.

The cashiers here are LOVELY, but the two managers Linda H & Linda F are the most miserable and snooty people I’ve ever encountered. Due to the incredibly upsetting experience that I had at the Aspen Blush Lane, I unfortunately don’t think my family and I will ever be supporting this store again

Have gone in there a couple of times to purchase turkey breast and the cooler was empty and was informed that they were down. Wanted to get some fish as well and was told that the cooler was down for it as well. Wanted to pick up some fresh ground beef from topgrass and has been empty for a couple of weeks. When I looked at the eggs on the shelf, they were expired. I have purchased a number of platinum products that were slimy and smelly. I would like to give them a zero but that's not an option.

This store openly discriminates against people with valid medical exemptions for wearing masks. They’re draconian and rude using security to intimidate you out of the store. After 2 years of this and countless studies now pointing towards the uselessness of masks, especially cloth ones, when it comes to contraction and spread, you’d think this “health” conscious store would be more understanding towards customers who cannot wear masks due to medical reasons.

Shame on the store managers! Also, demanding their staff get shots or lose their job is one fundamental reason why I will not spend a single dime at any of their locations, I highly encourage others to do the same!

The store manager Linda was a monster to some of her employees. I have never witnessed so much rudeness to workers especially in pandemic times we’re working is already so stressful. The produce manager Harley was also snapping at employees for what looked like no reason? DONT SHOP HERE IF YOU THINK MINIMUM WAGE WORKERS DESERVE RESPECT!

This place does not respect mask exemptions. The manager is really aggressive about it. Many food items are not fresh. Prices are too high.

Do yourself a favour and make the trip to Amaranth. Extremely kind, inclusive, great selection. Can’t recommend Blush at all anymore, and I will always spend the extra gas to go to Amaranth. I have a daughter with a disability, and they have made it extremely clear that she is not welcome in the store anymore. I will never support a business that discriminates against those with disabilities. Appalling.

Overrated and overpriced. The quality of this place has really gone down lately, and the management of the store is even worse. The milk I purchased last week tasted disgusting and metallic, their meat always has a terrible smell, and I’ve noticed a huge decline in the condition of their fruits and veggies. I’d suggest buying your organics from other local grocery stores, as it’s much cheaper and better quality.

I like grocery shopping here and people working there are usually nice. However, we had this incident the other day where the security guard kept following us and creeping on us. We were confused looking around the aisles but it just got very uncomfortable. I am not very big on race issue but I noticed other white people moving around and the security guard was fixated on us. Made me very uncomfortable and disappointed so much stereotyping can happen even in grocery stores! Please try to teach your staff about racial and cultural biases which might lead to this unwanted and in fact unacceptable behavior. If there was such an issue he could have approached us and asked if we needed help rather than creeping us out on aisles and following us as if we are here to rob the place

Both managers named Linda are horrible people. They followed me around the store while I was shopping. I was not wearing or carrying anything that would make me look suspicious. The cashiers are lovely, and the boy in produce was very nice to me.

I should also mention that while I was in the store one of the managers in question was super mean to her staff for seemingly no reason. I will not return and go to the blush lane in Marda Loop where the managers are not horrible people.

The worst store… avoid this place at all costs. I’d rather drive an extra 20 minutes to go to the other Blush Lane in Marda Loop. This location has a pest problem, and the management is absolutely terrible and needs to be replaced… the two older managers are the most stuck up people I’ve ever met, and made me feel incredibly unwelcome in the store. Never going back there.

Avoid this place. Very pricey, lots of items not currently in stock. Staff is rude when you ask a question. You can get almost all the same stuff at Safeway across the street for much cheaper prices. Safeway staff friendlier too.

Wish I could give them less than 1 star. Followed me around the store and wouldn’t leave me alone. Poor management.

As a frequent customer I did not appreciate the security guard stopping us at the door to see if my toddler was two and that he had to wear a mask. Worry about distancing, worry about sick adults, do temperature checks if you need to but for the love of god leave little children alone. Intimidating guards dressed in uniform does not leave the warm and fuzzies especially for how much you charge and how much I spend and have supported Blush. Not happy.

Owner is extremely rude for people with mask exemptions. Not polite or considerate. Won’t be shopping there again. I expect tons of human rights complaints because apparently she hasn’t checked the laws and human rights violations yet. I expect big fines.

I like this grocery store. It's close to home and has most of what I need. The only issue is I am not able to find out if their meat products are entirely Halal. I have seen some Halal products in the store but can't get an answer on other products. As a Muslim, this is important for me.

Staff is rude and condescending.there are other places to shop so I'll take my money elsewhere!

Prices are high. Staff are rude and a lot of stuff has either gone bad or is about to.
You can actually get sick by eating meat that has gone bad. Maybe Blush shouldn't sell it. I shouldn't have to come back to return spoiled food items that I just bought. Most recently, I just happened to see a dead mouse in the Health and Body section of the store. I alerted staff but they didn't care. All they did was put baking soda around the area. Maybe there is more then one mouse and staff doesn't care. Sunterra was shut down for the same thing awhile back but this place gets to stay open.go figure. I will be shopping elsewhere. Btw - these issues are all only at this store. I have been to the other Blush locations in Calgary and they are run a lot better. Maybe new management is needed.

Avoid this place. There are mice droppings in the milk cooler. Prices are high. Lots of products are out there with expired dates on them. More concerning for me is the one kid wearing the bandana who works during the day. He is telling everyone shopping that Covid is b.s, masks don't work and talks about attending anti-mask rallies. I have seen him coughing over food products. Not a person I would want handling my food. Safeway is across the street. Better option.

Been shopping here for five years and the staff are always friendly and helpful with recommendations. Great selection of meats, cheeses, and breads. Thanks Blush Lane!

I have shopped at this locations regularly for the past 4 years and spend a considerable amount of money there biweekly. Although expensive, I have appreciated their organic selections. They have been most accommodating this past year during covid for people like myself with medical mask exemptions. March 2020-August 2020-No mask mandates. August 1,2020 mask by-law went into effect. Somewhere in the fall of 2020, only 2 people allowed in the store with mask exemptions. It then followed a few months later to 1 mask exemption. Fast forward to the end of April 2021, NO mask exemptions allowed. This is discrimination in its finest form.
It disgusts me how many people I have witnessed adjust their masks by pulling the front of the mask with their fingers. What is harbouring in this moist Petri dish? Then what? Touching produce and products? Think.
I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I shop here often for my family but today I had a more exceptional experience where one of the staff accommodated my purchase very well! All The staff are very supportive and friendly!

It is good to have an organic store to service this special items. But my main concern is that most of the items are imported from outside Canada and mainly from Mexico. No offence against Mexico but i will highly recommend fresh food and to be local product

I use to love Blush Lane. I felt comfortable and the selection was always great. I knew the produce was sourced from the best. Recently since COVID, some of the staff have been a little more aggressive with the mask mandate. To the point, the lady at the front door that greets you and offers hand sanitizer and such. I overheard her talking to another customer about me. The customer and the staff member proceeded to glare at me when I was in sight. I felt super uncomfortable with my 2 year old son. I shopped as fast as I could and got the hell out of there. Thank goodness the stock shelf guy that wear a bandana, was so nice and apologized for the inconvenience I felt shopping at a local store.

Love this little store. Staff is always friendly, they always have what I need and love the fresh Kombucha counter. Highly recommend. On Christmas Eve they had rosemary when everyone else was sold out. Saved my turkey! Highly recommend.
