Bit of a double edged sword. We used to have 4 dedicated GF stores in Calgary with all sorts of niche products. As popularity increased, the grocery stores got in on it, eventually driving these GF stores away. There are now none that I know of in Calgary. I buy some stuff off Amazon now that I can't find anywhere else. Yes, you can go to Community Natural and Amaranth, but the GF stores had everything, and you didn't need to read labels or check for GF stickers on the shelf(that are often wrong). And fewer products.
