About PickEco Refills
A local food shop in the blocks that have been Chilliwack's center since before the malls, on 2-9360 Mill Street.
Mill Street runs through the downtown grid a short way off the Five Corners junction, and unit 2 at 9360 is where this shop is filed. That is central ground by Chilliwack standards. Roughly 31 per cent of the city's residents live in this neighborhood, more than 350 businesses trade in it, and the District 1881 redevelopment has pulled a second run of food and retail in alongside the older frontages. A small food shop here is within walking distance of a good deal of the rest of the downtown.
Food retail is an unusually good category in this city. The supermarkets are national and therefore absent from this directory, which leaves the independent half: farm stores selling their own beef, dairy and eggs, greengrocers taking produce from a few kilometres up the road, butchers, bulk and health food shops, and the roadside stands through Greendale, Yarrow and Rosedale that open when the corn does and shut when it is finished. There are 17,000 hectares of farmland and more than 700 farms behind all of that, so the distance between a field and a shelf can be very short. There are 25 or more food processing companies in the area as well, which is a further measure of how much of the local economy runs on what gets grown here.
The name here points towards refill retail, the model where a container comes with you and goods are bought by weight or volume rather than by package. That is not confirmed here, and what is stocked is not stated either, so the name is a hint rather than a description. Neither a phone number nor a website is published here, which for a shop of this kind means turning up in person is how you find out. The postal code will put a map on the right block of Mill Street, and the unit number should do the rest.

The twelve Chilliwack neighborhoods, and what each one is actually like
The City defines twelve neighborhoods. Three of them hold about two thirds of the population and most of the shopfronts, and the other nine run from a drained lake bed to a hillside to a working dairy landscape. Here is the honest version of each.
