Terra Foodmart

Typically my go to Asian grocery store is Oceans, but I absolutely dread driving in that parking lot. I don’t like the sushi at T&T, so I don’t really go there either.
Terra, to me, is a nice compromise. Plus, it is super close to my house. Terra has a great selection of produce. Their meat selection is plentiful and always well priced. I always stock up on chicken when I go there.
The hot table at Terra has a lot of great selections, with the shanghai noodles being a favourite in our house. We also indulge in the occasional pound of roast or bbq pork.
The employees are noticeably friendlier than those at Oceans, which doesn’t mean a lot to most people. You kind of just get used to getting poor service at Oceans.
But given that Terra is newer, and going after the Oakville crowd, that extra service level will be key. Take it from someone who worked in an Oakville mall… its necessary.

Closest Chinese groceries near my house; so I have ventured here quite a few times to pick up some ingredients to cook up some Vietnamese dishes. Since it just opened, it is very clean, and I feel like the meat and fruit/​veggies selections is kept very fresh. As other reviewers mentioned, there is a different demographic at this grocery market. Therefore, I feel like cleanliness, and hygiene is more valued by the customers than at other Mississauga Chinese groceries. There is less pushing, littering, etc. Also, cashiers are usually younger students so they aren’t as grouchy and rude as other places (I can name a few).
Overall, I would definitely come here for my usual grocery shopping than venturing out further into Mississauga…

B-​Trust owned, but in between Oceans and T&T. Setup reminded me of Oceans (more the Brampton location), but Terra is less ghetto as it’s new. Reminded me of T&T in terms of being organised like a Western grocery store. Did not smell like fish water… yet.
Customers were more reflective of this part of Mississauga, re: more White people. I felt that it was less hustle/​bustle pushing than the other more established Chinese grocery stores, so that was nice. Busyness may depend on time of day. My visit was on a Saturday evening, during dinnertime.
Only time will tell whether or not this particular store gets rundown.

Apparently this is a new branch of B-​Trust and it appears to be aiming for the Oakville market since it is closer to Oakville than the Mississauga core.
a) So far, it’s clean. I said the same thing about Oceans once they first but as they got more customers, it got more worn down and less clean.
b) They have reasonable prices (same as most Asian grocery stores).
c) They have a hot food section with a decent assortment of dim sum and Chinese fast food.
The one big downside I find about this place is that they don’t seem to serve freshly baked (or at least in-​house made) Chinese pastries.
Verdict: Same as B-​Trust, but just closer to Oakville.

I believe this is a BTrust owned grocery store. Unlike BTrust it has a combination of asian and non asian foods which I assume is to attract the demographic in the area. It took over a location that used to house a Sobeys.
It’s clean and open although not everything is set up yet it seems, at least not in the hot foods section. For some reason the hot foods section is this slow moving chaotic line up which is the same as BTrust.
One item plus fried rice or noodles for $ 4.99 and two item combo is $ 5.99 with soup choice of hot and sour or egg drop. The roasted meat section is not open yet (will it be?!).
Groceries are standard fare and what I expect from an asian supermarket combined with North American groceries. Fish, meat, bakery, and fruit and vegetable sections are all clean and a wide variety available.
Cashiers are friendly and quick. Nice to finally have an Asian supermarket closer to Oakville.
