They have tons of energy drinks, candies and chips. They also have cool food-themed hoodies and t-shirts. They had a ramen hoodie and a Cheetos hoodie. They had a Doritos T-shirt and a Mr. Peanut Planters t-shirt. I like kitschy stuff like that, and wanted one of everything, lol. (76)

I went to pick up my parcel, with the CP pickup ticket, and they couldn't find my parcel and told me to come back next day, I went back 2 days later and the clerk refused to help saying CP is closed... im like what the hell, I went back the day after and was told my parcel was sent back because I didn't pick it up in time... this is the most ridiculous service I've ever seen... the gave the same hard time to my wife when she tried to pick up a parcel, and again I have to pick up another parcel and I'm dreading going there... Canada Post if you are reading these posts, stop using this location as a drop off please

Just an average convenience store, on the edge of downtown Ottawa. There are a lot of different bus…read morelines that stop right out front of this store, and it's within a block or two of several hotels. They've got all the junk food you could possibly need, random other travel-needs, plus a Scotiabank ATM machine.

Once upon a time, this was a Hasty Market (a convenience store chain with locations across…read moreOntario), but then it became independently owned Slater Street Market. It's open 24/7 and is really convenient if you live nearby (which I kind of did when I technically had my own place elsewhere, but was staying with my boyfriend in Centretown all the time, lol. Don't worry, it's not scandalous, because I ended up marrying him, haha). Slater Street Market is on the ground floor of the Minto building and most major city bus routes going downtown stop right in front of it, so it is really convenient. Of course you pay for convenience, because the prices are astronomical for grocery items (compared to big box stores, grocery stores or pharmacies). However, if you're just grabbing some snacks, like a samosa, or a sandwich, it's not much more expensive than at other places. The place is clean, brightly lit and fairly large for a convenience store. Service is courteous. There's a Bitcoin ATM inside the Slater Street Market. Of no interest to me, but may be for some.

If I want something that isn't there they will have it there the next time I go. They are always very polite and appreciative of my business. I recommend them comepletely. My experiences are always pleasant and the staff are great. The produce there, is mostly more fresh than some Big Grocery Stores. I buy all my groceries there for years now. They always have lots of stock and carry absolutely everything one needs on a daily basis. I will always go there and will continue to.

It's funny because I never ever knew the name of this place until I looked it up! If you've ever…read moretaken or gotten off of a bus at the Mackenzie King bus station at the Rideau Centre, you've definitely passed this place over and over. Most people have purchased at least an item or two here, maybe without even realizing it. It's a small convenience store on the third floor of the mall, right across from the OC Transpo sales and information centre. Because this centre is here, Gateway doesn't sell bus tickets, like most people think. They do, however, sell a whole bunch of things you need on the go, and for inexpensive prices, including gum, snacks, cold drinks, newspapers, smokes, lottery tickets, and even phone cards. It's more than conveniently located because it's right in front of the bus station, and it's also open later than mall hours. Be warned though - once the busy hours are over, the attendants like to blast techno music that can sometimes be heard all the way down to the elevators.
