I'm a fan of the salad bar, and the curry bar. The salad bar has 3 sizes of plastic containers that…read moreyou fill with a do-it-yourself style bar. It has an awesome selection of toppings from chicken pieces, ham pieces, red onion, broccoli, corn, mushrooms, etc. I like this salad bar in particular because they pay by the size of container not by WEIGHT. You can put as much of the heavier tasty items and not get penalized. The curry bar also has 3 different sizes of cardboard containers. They have chicken curry, chicken vindaloo, and basmati rice. These are also done by size, and not by weight. They also have a great gourmet food hot section for takeaway. pizza, meatballs, chicken, ribs just to name a few. I also really like the full service meat counter located at the back of the store. It always looks fresh, and tasty. I usually get the kabobs or chicken wings, that are already marinated. If I have to say anything negative about this location, its some of the staff aren't really friendly. The customer service desk in particular isn't that friendly. It doubles as an express check-out. It's almost like your putting them out when you go to pay for your items there. I also heard a couple of the cashiers complaining about someone at the customer service desk as I was purchasing my food. It was very unprofessional. Other than that, i'll come back for the salad bar and curry bar.

This place is clean, in good repair, rarely busy, and you can pay with a credit card if you don't have cash. What I really like is that there is a 90 second grace period after your time runs out. Unlike most DIY car washes where you have to listen for the machine beeping and plug more money before the time runs out, when the time runs out here you have 90 seconds to throw in some more money. No more missing the beeping and having to overpay because there's a $2-3 minimum and you just need another buck to finish rinsing your car.

Let's see... let's wipe out a Future Shop with a decent parking lot, a financial office and a…read morerestaurant, and instead build a gas station. Not just a gas station, but a Co-Op one complete with kick-ass Liquor Store. Oh, and while we're at it, since the space is so large, let's make it HUGE! Welcome to the Calgary Co-Op Kingsland Gas Bar and Liquor Store. Complete with rows upon rows of energy offering goodness to help my motorized Black Beetle of Doom terrorize the roads of Calgary, it's basically a pretty decent gas station and convenience store x 4. It has one of those all things to all people feel, with groceries, magazines and tons of snacks galore, but also with booze readily close by with a pretty decent selection of beer, wine and liquors. For example, where else in Calgary could I have found Bacon Maple Beer (the beer that smells like maple syrup, has hints of bacon, and the aftertaste of the ashes of a burned down maple tree dumped inside). Unlike most convenience stores, it's closed after 10pm, so after that, you have to wait until the AM for your Van Houtte coffee fix, still, I like to get my loto tickets here since every little purchase I make goes towards my Year-End Co-Op dividend (available to members depending on what you spend for the lifetime extravagant fee of $1) and the discount coupons too when I fill up (2.5 cents per litre of gas given back as a discount coupon towards groceries at a Co-Op supermarket). Oh, almost forgot, they have one of those mechanized super touchless car washes in 3 flavours, regular, Super and Supreme, each level adding to the level of cleanliness (?!? a clean car is still a clean car... after all). I really should try one just to see the machines whirl. #15 of Yelp's 30-Day Review Challenge

Thankfully, just about every carwash around is now "touchless." After all, who wants spinning…read morebrushes, embedded with other cars' grime, abrasively whipping your paint like micro-fine sandpaper? The touchless playing field is now pretty level, so how about some new innovation? It's here. This Kingsland facility contains a touchless carwash different from most, in that it is "self-propelled" (similar to Bubbles), but the owner remains in the car. What this means is that the driver enters the moving queue themselves, and immediately begins the wash procedure. This is occurring while, down the track, other cars are being rinsed and dried. In other words, you don't need to wait for the complete wash cycle before your car enters. Multiple cars are in process simultaneously, and this saves everyone time! I love the idea, however, this also means that drivers need to be able to: A) Have enough skill to position a front tire between the rails above the moving track. B) Follow directions. These two points can lead to some unexpected and unintentional comedy! I witnessed one driver moving back and forth repeatedly trying to get a wheel BETWEEN the rails, and then, trying to figure out why the car was not moving once there. This is the "following directions" part. As the sign says, you must be in neutral, and GET YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKES! Funny how a car just sits there with all 4 wheels locked up. Otherwise, this Kingsland Co-op facility is great. There is no Co-Op grocery store--it is convenience only. But for a "gas station," it's everything you need. There are a significant number of gas pumps out front, which means no waiting. Also, and most significant in my "gas station choices," the pump handles lock in the open position!! I ** REFUSE ** to gas up at any station where I need to physically hold the pump for all 120 litres in the wind/rain/sub zero temps. Sorry other guys, if you bowed to your lawyers and removed the locks, I fill elsewhere. The convenience store is large, clean and new. And attached, a Co-Op liquor store. What you'd expect out of both in a brand new location. Truly, this place lets you knock off a number of "to-do's" in one stop.
