They have a little bit of everything, but everything I've ever looked for has been here. Plus, they often have new things I haven't seen! Get you holiday items early though.

It's located right across the street from Carlingwood in the revamped Fairlawn Plaza. What makes this location so freakin' awesome? It's huge! It's size makes the selection great, and I have a bit of a sentimental attachment to it since it's were I first discovered pre-mixed Canadian Club and Ginger ale (SO convenient - right?!). Seriously though, the selection kicks butt, the staff are helpful and pleasant and it's brand new! What's not to love? Also, if you happen to be a drinking cyclist, they have a bunch of places for your bike (and they're used - a lot. I don't know how people have such awesome balance that they can bike home with a 2-4, but props to them). My only teeny tiny complaint it that they're only open till 9 p.m. most nights, but so are most locations that aren't downtown. Otherwise, thank you Ontario for this wonderful establishment!

The single cans cooler is usually packed and includes new and seasonal so it's easy to try new things. I don't love the returns area in this one though.

Close to the Aylmer Marina (stunning views of the Ottawa River), Dépanneur Rapido is one of two famous convenience stores in the old village of Aylmer, Québec. Dépanneur Rapido has an abundant selection of domestics, broad selection of imports and an impressive array of micro brews. The walk-in cooler in the back of the store is extensive. Expect to pay about a buck a beer for most domestics. As it is to be expected, there is little parking available. You will be able to find parking on the streets. If you are planning on an abundant purchase, don't bring it up to the cash - let the cashier know and staff will accommodate you at the garage door. Pay and go! Taxes are not included in the sticker prices for beer in Quebec, unlike Ontario, but the savings add up.

This Circle K became my go-to place to redeem digital coupons while I was in Ottawa. The funny…read morething was that I had never intended to drop by this store. The city has a high number of standalone Circle K store, which is cool and different to me. Markham does not have any to my knowledge. Circle K stores tend to be attached to Esso stations in my area. My original plan was to visit the one on Laurier Avenue East. Sadly, I couldn't find a spot to park. I attempted to go around the block and ended up at this store on Osgoode Street instead. I found street parking all three times. There was a small parking lot on the right when you are looking at the store. However, it looked like it was for another business, so I completely skipped giving parking there a try. What stands out about this store is the large variety of Froster flavours. The number of flavours was easily in the double digits. Insane! I got a couple of Frosters here. I did Barq's root beer with lime Crush. I also did Mountain Dew purple thunder and orange Crush. Both were small and a lot of fun consuming on hot summer days. Staff are friendly here. They do enjoy doing upselling. I ended up getting Tic Tac candies. There was some deal going on. They did come in handy. Otherwise, I said no to everything else that they were trying to sell me. I got a number of AriZona drinks here. The selection was wonderful. I never duplicated my flavours. I realize that practically all my purchases were beverages. I also got a small English toffee. I wasn't sure if I could down a hot drink on a 30+°C day. I did it in my car and it was enjoyable. If you are a coffee drinker, this store has Monin sugar-free syrups to make your coffee fancier. I loved this addition. This store has a number of prepackaged foods, such as sandwiches and hamburgers. I loved this setup. There was a huge counter in the middle of the store with a microwave. My last visit wasn't the best, though. The place had replaced the medium Polar Pop cups with large ones. I had a coupon for a free medium Polar Pop. Since there weren't any medium cups, I thought that grabbing a large one where it clearly said medium would be fine. Nope, this place did not honour my redeeming my medium drink with a large cup. It was ridiculous. If you can stock large cups in your medium cup dispensers, and you only have large cups, you should let customers go large. Provide good customer service and delight your customers. Instead, I took a sip of my cream soda in my large clear cup and gave it back to the man at the counter. I then left. I ended up redeeming this coupon when I got back home. Other than that nonsense, it is a great Circle K to visit. (273)

I had a candy cane hot chocolate there (in August, lol) and it was good. Very minty and didn't just taste like hot water, like the hot chocolate does at some locations. The Polar Pops there though are a little flatter than at other locations. I like my pop super carbonated so was a bit disappointed. It has some hot food as well, including prepackaged hamburgers. I didn't see any pizza though. They have lots of canned drinks, but are often out of Arizona iced tea. They do have a good selection of snacks like chips and candies. This Circle K is a block away from another Circle K on Laurier Ave. I'm a bit surprised that there are 2 in close proximity, but they are both located near the University of Ottawa campus, so I guess there's plenty of customers for both stores. Service is quick and efficient. There's a parking lot next to the store, but the available spots had signage indicating it belonged to a certain business (not Circle K). I parked on the street.
