Healthy Planet just opened up about a month ago. This location is in the Ottawa Trainyards. It's…read morenext to Urban Barn and in the same plaza as Nordstrom Rack. Healthy Planet is a Health Food Store similar to Kardish and Natural Food Pantry. Since they are new, when I went they still had some empty shelf space, but I'm sure with time they will fill it with products. The store is big and bright and they carry a lot of items that I like at slightly lower prices than their main competitors (who I named above). They carry Vegan Rob's chips, which I absolutely love. They also carry Fiasco Gelato, as well as Mapleton's Organic ice cream! I saw lots of frozen breads, but not any fresh bread, and they don't have a bakery section :( They have a beauty section, but very limited brands of cosmetics. They have skincare, bath and body products too. They have a rewards/points system, but like their competitors it's pretty minimal. You get 1 point per dollar spent and get $5 off when you reach 500 points. So spend $500 and get $5 back. Better than nothing, I guess, lol. It's free to join the rewards program. I'm in this area a lot, so I will likely be going here often. Hopefully they have lots of sales and will have a clearance section, lol. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

This is the best place that I have come across, in downtown Ottawa on Bank street.

I recommended his store to many people I have come across in my bodybuilding life and today I still recommend his store it has everything you need at your fingertips and more.

1st visit so I'm not too deep in the hole yet... I tend to spend a lot of $$$ at these places. And…read morethey are not cheap. I realized that my last recent move had me donating all my protein shaker cups. Grrrr. I literally had about 30 of them as most of us do - they accumulate! So... I needed one. And I found one. And grabbed a handful of protein bars. And perused the creatine on sale. Pondered some magnesium. Hmmm. I'll be back. Thanks to Jason for helping me out. He was informative and patient. The shop wasn't busy mid day, parking was plentiful and the store was clean. 4% cash back on each purchase if you sign up with your info.

She was apologetic, knowledgable and articulate, and suggested a new product. Then, less then 36 hours later, I received my large package, stocked with all sorts of goodies. Once again, Popeyes is at the top of the supplement chain stores. Outstanding job, Ally!!!!!

Super convenient location in downtown Ottawa. Stopped by here once on a business trip and realized…read morehow close it was to the goodlife - I forgot all my supps @ home so I wanted to pop in and see if I could grab a quick sample, maybe a protein bar or two etc. You don't understand.. me in a supplement store is like a child in a candy shop. Glorious. I was instantly helped by two guys working, they seemed very nice. The store wasn't huge but it had everything you could need and all the basic goodness popeyes offers. What threw me off though was although they were gracious enough to offer me a sample of a BCAA for my workout, they charged me for it.. it was under $2 but I'm 100% sure this isn't a standard policy. I've tried many other popeyes in the Toronto area and not once have I been charged for a sample- I even went into a popeyes once and only asked if I could grab a sample of pre for my workout and they gave it to me and told me to have a nice day. This is the only popeyes I've ever been charged for a scoop of aminos; my boyfriend also agreed this is unheard of. I also bought a few protein bars and would've gotten at least 1 popeye dollar but they didn't even bring that up and I didn't think about it until later. So it was a positive but still weird experience, I don't really know what other options Ottawa has for supplements so this may be the best choice?

I have been going to the Popeye's on Merivale Rd in Ottawa for several years. I am a friendly,…read moreoutgoing person anyway, however, everyone that I have known at that store over the years has matched or exceeded that. To those that I have seen often over the years there, I have always easily been able to get on a first-name basis with, and, when they aren't busy, they are always willing to engage me in a friendly, sometimes humourous conversation. Of course, I always try to take advantage of their deals, such as "Buy 1 & get the 2nd at half price", for example. But who wouldn't? Any quality supplements are not cheap these days. In fact, there are times when I've been tipped off, so-to-speak, of these deals, which I maybe shouldn't mention here, lol. But, I'm sure other loyal customers are made fully aware, too. In addition, as far as product knowledge is concerned, Popeye's is top-notch. Their friendly staff all know their stuff, and I would suspect that makes it more comforting for people who are possibly coming to Popeye's for the 1st time. They will certainly take the time required to share their knowledge so that people can make informed decisions without them feeling rushed. So, not only are the Popeye's staff on Merivale Rd. in Ottawa, one of their original stores, if I'm not mistaken, extremely friendly and knowledgeable but the also help to make their clients just have a better day just simply by the client experience.
