They have enough fresh fruit and vegetables as well as frozen meat that you can put together a reasonably priced dinner. The vegetables, fruits and breads available vary, so you need to be able to figure things out on the spot. The store aims to serve the wide variety of clientele found in OEV, so you need to be flexible when shopping here.

I'd start off the review by saying that is is a pretty local food mart kinda place. If you live in…read moreeast old village it's conveniently found at Dundas & Elizabeth and the hours are pretty good. I don't know how long this place has been around but the team is making a go of it. Wide enough selection of products and while maybe not consistent -- fresh produce. Sure it could use a bit of a refresh but I think it does the job of you don't want to be driving. The owners are hands on. I was pleasantly surprised that they reordered the 50% less salt chips as they remembered that I specifically liked them! That was a plus. It's got an interesting cross section of customers but that's the norm here on this part of Dundas. Support a local shop!

This is a very convenient convenience store! I was excited…read morewhen they expanded their hot food menu and their app is a must for getting buy one get one deals as well as counting up how many drinks you buy until the next free one. There are other promos too listed in the app and it does change. Their staff is very friendly. One even reminded me of a promo for free cell phone with top up (so now I got a spare smartphone in case mine goes bust). The store is at a very busy intersection and is very popular with school kids buying slurpees. It is also well laid out. Lines can be very long though because they only have 2 cash registers. 7-Eleven also has the cheapest prepaid cell phone service where the top ups have a 365 day expiry date (or when you use it up, which ever comes first) compared to other companies that want you to top up every month just to keep your credit balance.

Gas costs more in Canada. Anyone who lives on the border knows this. However, when I looked it up…read morein gas buddy ot wasn't outrageously different - Sept 2022. This is a station right off the 403. Easy in and out. 20 pumps. Well spaced. 3 stars for this large chain. I default chains to 3 stars as they must be A-OK to expand as they have.

Normally you wouldn't think of Shell as being a place to think of many thoughts beyond "wow these…read moregas prices are no longer making baby Jesus cry" or "man I have to pee but don't want to become patient zero for a new infectious super disease rising from the rank depths of the uncleaned toilet". This Shell is an exception. The owner clearly has a steady rotation of Shark Tank, Tony Robbins motivational speeches, and customer service training videos on repeat on their YouTube playlist. The employees are so friendly you feel like you should hug them. The store is immaculate. The occasional perks and overall lack of up selling is icing on the cake. I don't feel obligated to defend my views on why I don't want to take advantage of their impulse buy chocolate bar sales, and their occasional "customer appreciation day" bonuses of a free coffee or bottle of water, banana, and brownie for the morning commute to work make this place seem like the gas station version of cheers. But instead of Cliff the friendly mailman, you have the guy at pump 2 smoking and texting while pumping and playing Russian roulette with your lives with his egregious violations of clearly posted pump sticker rules. Violating pump sticker warnings is punishable by stockade in many European countries. But before I get further off track, if you're a Hamilton road east bound or Highbury Ave northbound commuter and play chicken with your gas light on the regular, I highly recommend making this station a go to fill up and fresh breath Bat belt tool reloading station. You won't regret it.
