Many years ago I was in a upscale grocery store in Phoenix and to my amazement saw several kinds of PC foods products.

Now that I will be moving to Nevada I'm wondering what the likelihood is me finding them there.

I love PC products and can't bring shiploads with me when I move.

Has anyone found any PC products in the states? If so, I'd love to know which states and what stores.

Thanks.

Well that's kind of awesome - I personally bring boxes of stuff back when we visit back home.

I'd be wary of how fresh they are, I wonder if it reflects the fact that your community may have a larger than normal Canadian contingent?

I live in Las Vegas, but I have seen some Target's carry their products. I've seen the sodas/coke/carbonated beverage/pop/whatever at Wal Mart. Funny, I wouldn't think this was classified as 'high quality' given the stores which it was sold in :)

high quality in comparison to the so called 'No name' brand in Canadian grocery stores...nothing to do with where they're being sold in the US

Wow! I love PC products and I never even thought to look for them in the US, thinking they wouldn't be available. Now I MUST check out the Target, etc. in Fargo to see if they are available, given the proximity to the Canadian border. :)

orginally pc products were an offshoot of popular labelled brands but now they are so much better...in fact, better than most.

pc now has 'black labelled' items that are to die for. seldom do i crack open a jar of pesto or trendy sauce and get disappointed. pc black label products are similar to unique products found at trader joe's or whole foods but half the price and more reliable...imo.

hummm, really target and walmart??? i'm not a target fan but have been to walmart on occasion. i've seen no-name brands but not pc. wonder if we're talking about the same thing?

pc products are a registered trademark of loblaws, a canadian chain of grocery stores.

Beyond decadence Ice cream form PC..yum!!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

i'd even settle for online availability. Some of their products are just "unique" in comparison, but yes, very good quality. The jams are great too.

My fave PC product has always been the chocolate chip cookies ... decadent ones ... now im hungry :(

haha! I was just coming to post the same thing!!

If I found these at Target or somewhere, I'd lose my mind. Crumbled on ice cream... they're on some next level sh*t.

Sadly, I haven't seen any PC stuff in HI or SoCal so far :(
