Market 17 is a unique little place. In a city with so many big box grocery stores, it's nice to see a little neighbourhood store crop up. Although I don't visit often as it's not overly close to me (other corner of the neighbourhood) it's a fun place…More »
It's a Safeway - what can I say? Layout is good, has pretty much everything I ever need. It's the one nearest my house so I visit a lot. The parking lot can be irritating to get in/out depending on which way I'm driving but other than that, it's…More »
Of all the Safeways in my area, this is my favourite. It has the best selection, is the largest and generally has great stock. It gets very busy but other than that it's a good location. I also like that it's in a mini mall with so many other stores,…More »
This Black's location is pretty average. I think it's cool that they have kiosks towards the front of the store where you can upload/choose photos and the staff can help you out.
They do passport photos, which is why I happened along this week. The…More »
Alexander Calhoun is small but it does the job. If you're looking for a library with a large selection of books and lots to browse through, this may not be the place for you. It never seems overly busy, though, and the people who work here are nice…More »
Once upon a time, I used to live in the Pump Hill area so I visited this Safeway fairly frequently. Way back when, it was one of the first Safeways to receive a facelift. Now, it's starting to look a little dated, the flow in the cashier area could…More »
This is my closest Canadian Tire and, as far as CT goes, it's a fairly good one. It's a large store, always has what I'm looking for, and the employees can be incredibly helpful. For example, I was looking for a product, it wasn't on the shelf, and…More »
This is a pretty small Liquor Depot, but it has your basics. You can usually find wine priced anywhere from $10 to $$$. Doesn't have all your liquors (I can never find Triple Sec and I'm not shelling out for Grand Marnier!) but all in all I drop by…More »
This isn't my favourite Shopper's Drug Mart ever, but it does the trick. While it's smaller than most, when I'm busy it's easier to stop here during my work breaks than try to head to a Shopper's closer to home after work. The lines can be…More »
Granted, I've never been to another Toys R Us in Calgary so maybe I don't have a whole lot to compare to, but this one seems to be a little disorganized, small, the registry printer NEVER works (ok, "never" being the two times I've tried, years…More »
As far as Superstores go, this one is pretty good. The location isn't close to me, so unless I'm at Costco or Ikea, I rarely visit this store. But it's fairly well laid out (except for the candy on the way to the Exit, AFTER the tills? Who thought…More »
I've only been to this place a few times but I have no complaints. The prices seem reasonable, they've never ruined a coat, comforter or duvet and they're always friendly. They turn stuff around fairly quickly (I've never had any complaints) and it's…More »
This is my default Esso since I live close by. Prices are regulated so they're the same as everyone else. There's a Tim Horton's in the building, which is a nice perk. I know some of the people who work there and they're friendly. Store is a little…More »
Image, you're working at Canada Post, some frazzled woman in yoga pants comes up without saying a word, and starts pushing her laptop up to boxes on the wall, trying to figure out which one fits best. Then pulls out a (reusable) bag full of…More »
