In the heart of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, there’s a grocery store unlike any other. A down-to-earth, high-energy, family-run institution where the deals are as legendary as the lineups. Gateway Meat Market isn’t just a place to shop; it’s a community lifeline. At a time when grocery prices are soaring, Gateway dares to do things differently.

This documentary takes viewers inside the fast-paced world of Gateway Meat Market. A passionate team of butchers, cashiers, and staff hustle day in and day out to keep prices low. Loyal customers drive from all over Nova Scotia and beyond, just to stock up. "Priced to Thrill" offers an inside look at a small business that’s challenging the norm, showing that with the right approach, keeping food affordable isn’t just possible, it’s a mission worth fighting for.
