I really love going into Showtime Video. The owners/workers are very welcoming and the place has a…read morenice feel. I know, it's just a corner store, but nonetheless I have a pleasant time during my regular pop-ins. Showtime has become my movie center of choice. Sure it's no Video Difference which is just around the bend, but for $4 (tax in) you can rent a new or old release. I appreciate not having to spend a full fiver on a DVD, because really once you're over the five dollar mark, it might as well be ten bucks if you ask me. Recently, I was baking banana bread and didn't want to go to the grocery store, so what did I do? I went to Showtime and lo and behold, they had brown sugar and a few other ingredients that I required. Support this family run business and swing by Showtime for a DVD or a candy bar. But make sure your rental is back by 7pm the next day or face the $4 penalty. And for you folks out there who are pornographically inclined, I've heard tell of an adult section... but don't tell your mother.

I've stopped into Showtime just a couple of times to grab things like cat food & bread and recently…read morestopped in to use the laundromat. When you first walk in you'll be in the convenience store section, but if you keep walking past the cash you'll see all of the movies for rent in one section and the laundromat in the other. It's well lit with all of the basic convenience store needs. As far as the laundromat, there are ~6-8 washing machines including a double load one ($4/wash) for comforters, etc. and then ~8 dryers at $2 a load. There were two long tables with lots of different chairs to use. There are no electrical outlets though, so if you need to do work on a laptop, etc. while waiting on your laundry, make sure your battery is fully charged. The staff were friendly and helpful when I had questions and I always see them chatting with people when there isn't a line up of customers. There are also lots of parking spots and this spot is between a couple of different restaurants in case you get hungry for a meal while your laundry is drying. The spot is nothing fancy, but it gets the job done and the service is great!

Worst store in HRM They are so rude. Very disrespectful and…read moreunhelpful. Even hangs the phone up, and will block your number.

This place fed my junk food addiction all throughout high school. They have the luck of being…read moreright next door to Auburn Drive High School, so they know how to appeal to their teenage demographic: stocked with chips, pop, chocolate bars, an ice cream case, and best of all, a candy case. You can buy single-serve pop tarts and energy drinks to fuel you study period. That being said, they also know how to rake in the money with inflated prices. Now that I live a block away, it can be convenient to walk over for that bag of chips for girls night now, but that convenience comes at a premium cost, higher than the grocery store. Still, it's a clean, well-organized store, a decent-sized parking lot, and a family-run staff that, for the most part, is pleasant and polite. You can pop in for milk, bread, and snacks, so it hits the spot for convenience for basics. However, if possible, bring cash to pay with unless you want to be dinged with debit fees. I also recommend going outside of school hours, if you can, to avoid the congregating mass of teenagers with an insatiable hunger for salt and sugar.

Very friendly staff. Awesome alternative to chapters!!
