Automated phone lines with A.I. generated responses that could not understand my situation. Phoned Memory Express on the South side of Edmonton and Reese, (a human being), answered and understood what I needed and exactly how to procure it. I am not a computer expert but I knew what I wanted and what questions to ask. My solution took 5 minutes for Reese to develop. I wish there were more stars to give. I was blown away by his knowledge and professionalism. I will be driving past 20 other computer places to get to this particular store. Thanks again Reese. Your new, and now loyal customer.

I love this store. It's really great to have a local tech company with qualified staff at your…read morefingertips. At the moment, they are just not able to answer the phones due to sheer volume and staffing, so calling for curbside or other information is not possible. It's a pandemic...everyone take a breath, they will still help you out - and with a smile! There is NO in-person shopping. I'd definitely recommend shopping online, getting all your screen shots or part numbers on a list before you arrive to not waste the staff's time as they are BUSY. I arrived and the parking lot wasn't very busy - good sign. There were only a couple of folks ahead of me, and the floor is clearly marked for physical distancing, and someone was at the door to direct guests. Staff were all super busy, and I went late at night to avoid people... the staff were cheerful, HELPFUL, and went to great lengths to find the borescope/endoscope camera I came for (the website said there were 8 in stock,) so it was just a matter of finding their hiding spot. It took two staff to locate it, and locate it they did. I felt safe, staff sanitized the PIN pad after every guest, and I witnessed frequent cleaning by all the staff at the registers. I like to shop local... a lot, and I want to keep my IT peeps fed and housed. I like having a local shop that I can return or exchange items if there's an issue, and Memory Express does that and more for my personal and work needs. Ordering online... you can do that too! They definitely ship, and I wouldn't hesitate except I needed it sooner than later to check my vent for birds/nests - yes it's November/December, but I don't want to block any feathered friends inside before putting on the screening! The only location offering Curbside right now is in Manitoba, however, with the upcoming new restrictions in Alberta, check with them on Monday...that may change!

Jakob was the sales associate who assisted us in answering all our questions and didn't apply any pressure tactics. He was super genuine, listened to our questions, and provided clear, honest answers. He kept things simple to understand without getting too tekkie. We were impressed with the experience and ended up making a t.v. purchase mostly because of Jakob's demeanor and honesty.

Today was a "not quite" N size... and I'm glad I had a picture, because even working retail many moons ago and thought I knew my batteries - they knew exactly what I needed. For $5.25, I have another battery for my remote that will last another who knows how long. They have standardized on blister pack button cells and others, but have a good selection. We buy our motorcycle and gas scooter batteries here as well. They usually quote me a good price, so there's no reason to go anywhere else. They also offered to give our bike batteries that we had purchased from them a quick look-see charge and test in the spring to let us know if they wintered well. We keep them on a trickle charger on and off all winter in the basement, but I've had a few just give up and it's not a nice surprise on the first nice spring day to want to go for a ride and can't. Looking forward to the spring when they can get us vrooming again!

Over the years, I have bought many batteries there. Expensive, but GREAT service. But buyer…read morebeware - their 9V rechargables are junk, and very expensive. I paid $10 ea, and they lasted less than 1 year. I ordered the China ones on-line, and they were $2 each, and so far, have lasted 3 years. And they fit better, and are much nicer packaging. I did not know about their watch batter - Corona .... but anyone still afraid of that - REALLY?? Or it an excuse to not damage a watch. I get it, but say that, don't lie. For car batteries and UPS batteries, you have to talk to Mitch at Greenvolt: 780-984-2257. EVERY battery we have bought there - has been GREAT, and lasted a long time. And he keeps batteries out of the landfill!!

He was impatient with my lack of knowledge , appeared not to have time for this, although there was not one other customer in the store. I left feeling embarrassed and insulted - I won't go back.

I was pleasantly surprised by the array of jewellery available by local artists. The store was bright, airy, modern, and fresh! I loved the tree at the entrance to the store used to display local jewellery! I found most of the clothing a little out of my price range - but many beautiful pieces none the less. I ended up purchasing a gorgeous little change purse after drooling over dozens and dozens of items. Especially when on the hunt for a unique piece of jewellery for myself or a gift, I will definitely be returning to this store when in the area!

I always enjoy browsing the Londonderry and City Centre locations of Bentley so when I found one…read moreout here in the park I figured I mine as well stop in and take a peek. I was looking for a bright floral wallet to match my summer purse and I was in luck as they happened to have a table full of them at 50% off. One of the nice things about this location is with less of a customer base their sale stock doesn't get picked over as fast as it does in Edmonton. In terms of overall stock I would say they carry about the same level as City Centre but with more of a focus on luggage here versus purses and accessories. The young lady helping me out at the cash today was nice enough but extremely difficult to understand. I think it could have been either her first job or a new job as she seemed very soft spoken and nervous. I got what I was looking for today for a great deal so overall I was happy with the experience. My one disappointment came from the fact they are currently raising funds for a children's mental health charity but I saw no posters or signage for it anywhere in the store. It's obviously a worthwhile cause that alot of people will miss out on helping unless you get a staff member at the till who remembers to mention it towards the end of the transaction. Four stars overall and I will definitely come back when the time comes to replace my travel luggage.
