There are general retail stores in almost all communities in Nunavut; some specialize in handicrafts, furs, fisheries and Inuit art. The high cost of goods (an increase of up to 50% on the rest of Canada) is due to the supply and distribution costs caused by the large distances that goods must be transported by air or sea.
Shopping hours Mon-Fri 1000-2000, Sat 1000-1800 (although these may vary regionally).
