Tips: - This store has Frosters, but no Polar Pops…read more - The limited peppermint white hot chocolate is yummy and pink! I originally wrote this review in July 2024. I asked that the old Mac's listing be changed to Circle K. Yelp decided to flag Mac's being closed and to create this blank listing. Not cool. Here's my original review: I was in the southern part of Winnipeg during my second full day. I needed to redeem a digital coupon and find a Circle K. I found this one and drove over to it. The Yelp listing currently states that it's a Mac's convenience store. Winnipeg once had a bunch of Mac's stores, but they have all been converted to Circle K. I know that the one in Osborne Village was a Mac's for the longest time. It's weird seeing it as a Circle K. There were plenty of parking spots in front of this store. I backed into one and walked in. What I love about the Circle K stores in Winnipeg is that they are all standalone ones. They all have hot dogs, sausages, and taquitos rolling in front of you. There are hot coffee and chocolate machines. They all don't have weird, doughy pizza slices. It's heaven! I had a digital coupon for a free Prime drink. I found the cold beverages section and grabbed one. I also saw a deal on Old Dutch popcorn twists. I love them so much. Two bags were going for $4. I'd probably get the munchies in the evening, so it was fitting to get two. I had the nicest man at the counter. He said that he'd give me a third bag of popcorn twists for an extra dollar. Done! Maybe he just knew that I had the face of a popcorn twists fan. Circle K digital coupons work Canada-wide. I had no problem redeeming mine. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. You can't collect PC Optimum points at Circle K stores in Winnipeg. They aren't attached to an Esso station. I liked dropping by this store. It was the closest one to where I was staying. I'd love to return when I'm in the area. I had a great experience. My addendum visiting this store today: The same nice man was there. He said hi to me when I walked in. This store has Frosters only. Finding Polar Pops is tough these days. I had a coupon for a small hot drink for $1. Since it's frigid in the prairies, I got a small peppermint white hot chocolate. It was pink and delicious! I also got two Fuze drinks. I consumed the raspberry iced tea by the time I reached Richfield, Minnesota. I have my sugar-free lemon iced tea left to enjoy. This Circle K is great to grab drinks as I make my way across the border. I didn't do it last year on that road trip, but I'm glad that I stopped by today. (468)

Tip: This place accepts credit and debit cards…read more I needed a drink after clearing security. The Exchange is nearby, across from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, which is next door to security. The Exchange is named after the Exchange District in Winnipeg. This area was originally modelled after Chicago. It is also a national historic site, and comprises the Planetarium and Manitoba Museum, among some of the attractions for both locals and tourists. I headed over to the cold drink fridge. I went with Pure Leaf lemon. There was a zero-sugar version that was new to me. I had to get it. I waited in line for pay. The woman ahead of me took her sweet time putting her purchases away before moving on. My flight was delayed, so I was okay with killing some time. The woman who cashed me out was great. I paid with my credit card. I tapped and was done. I wished her a great day and left. I love Pure Leaf. It's nice that the lemon version has no sugar in it. It was cold and yummy as lemon iced tea. I'm glad that I stopped by to get my tea fix. (234)

Tip: This place accepts credit and debit cards…read more I was leaving CF Polo Park, on my way to see a movie next door at Scotiabank Theatre. I had a breakfast sandwich, but I needed something more for lunch. I saw Gateway Newstands, which seemed perfect to grab something extra. This convenient store is located on the first floor, across from SportChek, near the escalators, by the entrance facing Portage Avenue. The mall doors are across from the bus loop. I saw cookies at this store. A bag went for $7. You save a bit of you get two bags for $13. I saw pepperoni sticks. The problem? I had one on my way over to the mall. I did see a strawberry cheesecake Drumstick. Perfect! It was hot outside and ice cream seemed fitting. The man at the counter was nice. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I wished him a great day. He did the same. I think that he was happy seeing someone make a purchase. Whenever I pass by this store, I never see any customers. The Drumstick was cold and creamy, which a crispy cone lined with chocolate. It was the perfect treat. So good! I love the strawberry flavour in it with the chopped peanuts. I'd return when I need a snack, but don't want to hit the food court. (223)

We've been a shopper at this store for at least twelve years, this was the first time I've experienced a person like this, our experiences with staff prior to this point has always been excellent and without reproach. I'll certainly avoid this person in the future.

Tip: Earn 7Rewards points with every purchase…read more When I first moved to Winnipeg, I briefly lived in River Heights. On Tuesday, I revisited a section of stores that are still there on Academy Road when I was a Winnipegger, between Queenston and Niagara Streets. Closer to Queenston was my dentist. She has since retired, but the dental office is still there. Next door is Chocolates on Academy. Yes, I used to get my teeth cleaned, get chocolates, and then hit this 7-Eleven next to the chocolate shop for a Slurpee. I moved away from this neighbourhood and lived in Osborne Village. I still came here for my dental appointments, Belgian chocolate, and Slurpee fixes when I lived there, as well as when I lived in Rochester, MN. On Tuesday, I came by to get chocolates and check out my neighbourhood 7-Eleven from years past hours before my flight back to Toronto. I parked in front of 7-Eleven. I've never had an issue parking. If the lot is full, you can always park on the street. It felt the same going in. I saw hot dogs, wings, and more. It was hot foods galore. What was different was seeing a microwave with all the ramen varieties that made me so happy. Next to the microwave was the Slurpee machine. It brought back fond memories of first arriving in Winnipeg and getting a large Slurpee in the middle of a heatwave. Winnipeg is the Slurpee capital of Canada. The city has more 7-Eleven stores than Starbucks cafes. I had to get a Slurpee. I saw Crush lime and needed to give it a try. I got a medium. I pulled out my 7Rewards barcode. I got the nicest woman at the checkout. She said hi to me when I walked in and she cashed me out. She scanned the barcode and I paid for my Slurpee with a credit card. Done! I thanked her and left sipping on my Slurpee. The Crush lime was so good. I was so happy. The paper straw was impressively sturdy. I'm so glad that I returned for sentimental reasons. I also enjoyed my Slurpee. (479)

A quirky new convenience store in the Exchange that sells individually packaged toilet paper,…read morebutter, mayo, onions, potatoes, spam, candy/chocolate, bread...etc. The venue is a little sparse in items provided considering the amount of space available. But it's a neat concept for residents and workers in the area if they need to pick up an item or two. Sandwiches from Tallest Poppy are sold there, usually from mid-week on. The place has an old school candy store vibe with it's vintage counter and set up. Chat it up with Andrew - he is an interesting cat. Start a conversation with him about the store or anything else - I'll guarantee you'll be entertained. The prices are okay, I mean convenience stores in general aren't going to provide you the best price since they can't sell in volume to make up for lower prices compared to a Superstore. But they are there for your convenience so the markup is justifiable! 500 ml of sour cream was $2.29 and a brick of butter was $5.99 and a small bottle of canola oil sold for about $5.99. I think everyone needs to support places like this in our downtown to encourage more small businesses to open up in that area. So buy something next time you're there!
