- It has a Bank of Montreal (BMO) ATM.
- It has sandwiches and lottery tickets.
This Shell station was steps away from the apartment building in which I used to live in Winnipeg. After work, now and again, I'd stop by to get a heat-and-eat hamburger or sub, or play PROLINE (sports lottery), and then walk home.
I've always loved getting a sandwich or a burger at a convenience store. I can't explain why. I just do.
I got into playing PROLINE at this store. I didn't bet much. My wager was typically between $2 and $5. I'd select NHL, NBA, and CFL games. I was good at it. When you pick underdogs, a $2 ended up being just over $30 when your game picks are good.
I haven't played in years. It seemed exciting back then. I simply put my money into food and beverages these days.
This store has always had an ATM. It's a BMO one. I never had a BMO chequing account, so I never used it.
When I owned a car, it was handy after work to fuel my car here and then head home. I always collected Air Miles by swiping my card at the pump and then paying for gas before fuelling.
You can order items from this store through Uber Eats. I've never done it, but I recall seeing a sign for it at the store.
I'm glad that this gas station is still alive and kicking. A lot has changed in Osborne Village. It's nice that this station still stands.
