Laurier Office Mart was a real lifesaver when I first arrived in Ottawa. Whatever I needed - check…read moreemail, copy my resume, send faxes, buy envelopes - LOM was there to help me. The staff was always light-hearted and the prices were very reasonable. I even tried to get a job there - it was such a great place. The only downside is the hours - they are closed at 6pm during the week and that really caught me off guard one night when I really needed their help.

Since I have used the MapleLaundromart a few more times, I…read morecan report a few changes - COVID has really impacted all businesses in Ottawa - and Maple is no exception- Way back in time, in 1 B.C. (Before Covid) people would be sitting at large tables using a laptop or Tablet as they waited. Now, with serious Covid Variants arriving, the atmosphere has changed to 100% business- Once your laundry is in a washer, you are asked to leave - typically for the wash cycle to finish - 30 to 45 minutes depending on the machine. This really helps social distancing, since, like all laundromats, the machines are all beside each other. Note that the pre-wash cycle at the beginning of each wash, is always cold water- if you check the start of the wash, it will always be cold- on the actual "Wash" cycle, the temperature is what setting you choose - people mistake the pre-wash rinse temperature as the wash temperature! All the machines are front -loading stainless steel, so that there is no center agitator at all- your washing just gently tumbles, so that clothing is never pulled or stressed as in typical home washing machines. - the wide screen TV is turned off- again because of Covid, and the wonderful Health Food machine is off and empty - another casualty of Covid, since you do not want people sitting around eating food! - Social Distancing is taken very seriously , so be prepared to go out during the wash cycle - you can get a coffee at starbucks across parking, and there are a few fast food places to get munchies to take to your car. Amina, the attendant is, as always, scurrying around to keep everyone happy, moving ahead in their task, and making sure social distancing is optimized- The Covid changes make Maple 100% business- not anywhere near the relaxing place it was in 1 B.C. ! -- but, lets face it - the whole point is to do laundry! - highly recommended- I will continue to use this service. - I can hardly wait for the relaxing atmosphere to return to normal , once Covid is under control!

I had the absolute privilege of bringing some of my most cherished items with me into Joe at Joe's…read moreShoe Repair and was greeted with one of the friendliest and honest people who I have had the honor to make the acquaintance of. I brought with me my leather bag from #Zara Man which needed the main zipper replaced, a knife which was hand made by my father in law in Norway which had a sheath made of some pretty thick leather which needed to be stitched up but in such a way as to accommodate the knife and handle which was made of a combination of mahogany an reindeer antler, and finally what I call my "guns", which are a discreet under the arm leather set of holders for a cell phone on one side and cards, money, passport, etc on the other side which is zippered and needed to have the zipper replaced. Made by #Age, this is a piece of my attire which I have worn daily since I purchased it 4 years ago. I didn't have the cash on me to pay in advance so I told Joe that I would be back before closing to pay for the items that I dropped off. He gave me the expected wait time of one week for pickup which was perfectly reasonable for me. After returning from picking up the cash to pay him an hour later, to my delight, Joe had already hand stitched the sheath of the knife, no easy task as the leather is extremely thick and hard. The knife fit perfectly and snugly in the sheath and the stitching job was perfect with the thread matching the leather to a tee. I paid for the items and watched another satisfied customer trying on his leather shoes which Joe had stretched perfectly to fit the customer's feet. The other customer could not have been more pleased and was going to be bringing in another pair of shoes to get the soles replaced. To my delight, two days later, I received a call from Joe and he told me to come and pick up my bag and my "guns" as they were ready. Not a week later, 2 days! I immediately hopped in my car with a shoe which needed to be glued together and the knife which I wanted to have a belt loop attached to it so I could wear it while at the cottage. When I got to the shop, I had the pleasure of meeting Joe's grandson who in Joe's words was even better than him.... Joe had a shop in Toronto for 27 years prior to opening his shop here in Ottawa 6 years ago and from my experience, he is bar none the best leather worker in Ottawa by far and extremely reasonable, affordable and fair when it comes to pricing. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. In addition, the shoe which I brought in and the knife sheath which I wanted a strap for, Joe fixed on the spot for free, I didn't have to wait and I thanked him and his grandson by buying them coffee. My next visit to them will be with my 20 year old #Timberland leather shoes which need new soles and a good revitalization. I have no doubt that Joe is up to the task!
