Northern Store

Northern Store in Baker Lake is the North West Company's retail anchor in this central Nunavut community, providing everything from groceries and household essentials to tobacco and smoking products. For Baker Lake's approximately 2,000 residents — many of whom maintain traditional Inuit lifestyles alongside modern amenities — the Northern Store is the primary source for consumer goods shipped in by air and annual sealift.

With 3.8 stars from 66 reviews, this is Baker Lake's most-reviewed retail establishment by a wide margin, reflecting the store's central role in community life. As with all Northern stores in fly-in communities, prices reflect the staggering logistics of supplying a town with no road access, but the store remains indispensable for the daily needs of Qamani'tuaq's residents.
