Toronto needs more convenience stores like starbank! I…read moreabsolutely love coming out of a concert down the street and a place being open for water or juice or even a treat for the ride home. this store seems to always have a person outside asking for change, but once you get inside, this store is like a convenience heaven, this store always has nice staff at the counter always willing and able to help out. I wish more stores had the hours that starbank has, I guess I have to spend my money here :)

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.

The people where nice, but when i pass this place, I can see some people smoking weed. The people that run the place are nice, and this place IS very popular. The snacks and food there are over priced, $3 for a small bag of chips while I can buy that same bag a chips a block away for $2. A bottle of coke was also $3 but I could have bought a bigger bottle for the same price. I would have given it a 4/5 if the prices weren't so ridiculous.

Only here have I seen such a wild array of goods from all over the world that you won't find anywhere else. Exotic cheese? They got it. Premium Ginger Beer? Of course they do. Korean snacks and instant ramen? This is the place to check out. From plumbing supplies to rice cakes Busy Bee has it all. I can't say enough about how friendly the staff are and how professional they are handling their customers. Given their location on the corner of King and Bathursts entertainment district and being open 24 hours, they get a lot of party animals on weekends and the occasional panhandler sitting outside their doors.

Yes, it's a convenience store, but it's an independently-run convenience store, is in my…read moreneighbourhood, and is open 24 hours. Busy Bee has been a bacon-saver for me for some time now. Once at 11:00pm I realized that I needed a blank CD to load some files onto for the next day. With everything else closed, I took my last shot with Busy Bee. They were open and the only question they had in response to my blank CD request is "how many you need?" Definitely what you want to hear. It's a large store with a wide range of merchandise that will help you out in those emergency times of need. The staff are efficient in their manner and will help where they can. It does have the tired look of a place that is open 24 hours, but you'd be exhausted to, if you worked around the clock.

You're paying for the convenience. Since I frequented this store so often, I got to know the owners, and they were very nice to me whenever I'd go in. I even got to know the stock guy, and he would ask me what items I'd like to see on the shelves. That's pretty nice, to me. I'm sad that I've moved away from this store but I still go back and visit once in awhile.

I have nothing against the Shopper's Drug Mart (except for it's long ass lines and sometimes disgruntled cashiers), it's because I like to feel a part of a community. Now, these guys don't have the greatest selection of all time and the prices aren't the most fantastic. It's the two owners of this store that keep me coming back. They greet meet and I greet them. They smile sincerely. They genuinely are appreciative of my business - and on more than one occasion will ask me questions about my life outside of the rectangular store. And that works? You bet your ass it does! As long as I'm living in Dovercourt, this is my convenience store!

This store is more of a general store than a convenience store. There are some Greek-relayeditems like flags and books. They also sell picture frames, extension cords, boxing gloves, mortars, cheese graters, and lottery tickets. It is dark inside. They only accept cash or debit. They sell lottery tickets and have a 24h/day ATM at the front, outside the store. There is no free WiFi. The store is wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms.
