Tim's donuts are pretty good. They also sell breakfast and other sandwiches, soups, etc. - like an upscale Culvers. Donuts are a foundation of a good ice-fishing breakfast, providing the energy needed to maintain body heat during a long day on DaIce.

There used to be a smallische chain grocery store in western Canada called Overwaitea - which I thought was an odd name as their goal is to sell groceries. The name suggests "overweight" to people who, thus prompted by the name, may truncate their grocery purchases in consideration of their body mass. I have shopped at a couple/few of these stores back in the day. I think in eastern BC or Kamloops and also in Alberta by Banff/Yoho/Jasper. The last time I was at Banff/Jasper was with DaSqu_w and DaSun in or about the early '00s and by then it was swarming with Chinese and Japanese on tourist buses. It had become Yellowstone-ized since I first visited in the '80s and then '90s. Really sad to see these very urbanische Asians step off DaBus, take some photos of each other in front of a glacier or standing on one, then get right back on the bus. Their trip objective seems to have been collecting pictures. Nott my idea of an ~OUTTdoor adventure or nature experience. They may as well have stayed home and watched a video of the parks. I found it depressing in the same way as Yellowstone, Yosemite, and now Glacier have become drive-thru theme parks for the masses. Why do these people even bother - just get the videos.

Overweighty - now defunct - prolly because they didn't have good donuts and did nott also sell bait
