Scoop and Save
Scoop and Save began as a business about twenty years ago. My family has owned the business for the past year and a half. Scoop and Save recently moved from 8 Pinsent Drive to a new location at 5A Bayley Street in Grand Falls-Windsor. Our new store is bright and colourful and we even have a place to sit down for coffee and tea. Sometimes I help my mom make muffins or a cake. Three people work at Scoop and Save, my mom, my dad, and one employee. Sometimes my sister or I work at the store. My job is to help clean or to bag the customer’s items.
The most interesting thing about Scoop and Save is that you can buy as much or as little as you want because everything is in bulk. You can buy all kinds of spices. Many people come to our store to get things that they cannot get anywhere else such as giant stuffing shells, Nori sheets and other sushi ingredients, and of course chocolate jujubes.
One day after school four of my classmates and I visited Scoop and Save with our teacher and Denika Lewis’s mom to take pictures to go with my report. We took our Flat Pen Pals from Tany’s Dell School in Harlow, England with us. It was fun to bring my friends and teacher to see our family store. Mom let everyone scoop up their favourite candy and put them in a bag to take home with them. They were very surprised to see such a variety of candy to choose from. It reminded Ms. Warr of the candy that she sold in her mom’s confectionary store on Elizabeth Street when she was my age. She told us that then you could get three candies for just a penny. My flat pen pal, Flat Rhianna Collins, and my friends really enjoyed their visit to Scoop and Save. Thank you, Mom, for giving me and my friends a wonderful tour of our store.
