Such an interesting convenience store! Never have I seen a store in Guelph that sells drinks that…read moreyou normally never find in convenience stores (gfuel, different Mountain Dew flavours (my favourite), ghost energy, ryse, etc.). Service is alright, on par with a typical convenience store... You get in, pay, and get out. Lots of variety and flavours of snacks, and it's a relatively quiet place. It's open late which is wonderful. Brother loved this place too, prices aren't terrible, but of course some drinks like ghost are priced higher (5$) so be careful and check your prices. Other than that I think it's in a easy-to-access area and fairly priced. One of the best convenience stores in terms of stock in Guelph.

If I could give a 0 star rating I would, this place does not deserve any business. They are given…read morethe power by the City of Kitchener to give parking tickets to people parked in front of their store or on the store property, even if they are customer, parking infractions. They are abusing their power and the City of Kitchener will not do anything about it. For example, if you are a customer and bought something there but leave your car there to go across the road to the washroom, they have the right to ticket you because you've left your car on their property but you are not there. (This was told to me as an example by the by-law person on the phone when I questioned them about it) If you go on Google reviews for this place, you can see other people's reviews about the same issue.

Hostess chips with WWF wrestler stickers inside and large glass bottles of Pepsi and Jolt that we could return later for a refund. I am now in my 30's and while I no longer live in the area I still come back every now and then. The family owned and run store is the best, and the people are friendly . When I was 10 I tripped over a curb infront of the store and hit my head splitting it open. The owner came out and took me inside and held a towel on my head until I was taken to the hospital. Generally caring people that have been in the community for a long time. While the area has changed a lot and the people in the area are not the same this store and the owners have not changed.
