I give them credit. It's sort of a "throwback" type of gas station that....is inviting to the eye and makes you want to go inside and check out what they offer. I did buy a couple of keychains, magnets and postcards from them. Waterton is this little secluded vacation spot that's part of the Glacier-Waterton Cooperative International Peace Park. Once you arrive here, it's sort of a backdoors getaway that has a flavor of its own. Reason why I'm mentioning this is because...Pat's is the only place in town you can find gas. They also sell supplies, snacks and the little extras. Always a plus to offer the basic necessities. Though...their main form of business was renting bicycles! Let me explain... For my first time visiting Waterton last month.....I had learned and overheard that there had been a breakout fire in the area and a few of the natural attractions to explore were off limits to automobiles. Ah so....although a few of the touristy sights wouldn't allow for cars, bicycles were permitted (along with walking and hiking if you cared to trek so far). And this is why Pat's offered what seemed like an infinite amount of bicycles for rental.....and why bikes were being checked out quite quickly. By the time I grasped onto what was going on....there were only so many bikes left available. Here's a few details from my experience... 2 specific attractions (due to fires) were only permitting bicycles for passageway... Akamina Parkway and Red Rock Parkway. Both these roads, situated in and around the outskirts of Waterton were each roughly 8 - 9 miles (one way), scenic roads that lead to beautiful surroundings as you made your way towards the end of both parkways. From there, you could explore the picturesque conditions and appreciate the views from all different directions. From Akamina Parkway...Cameron Lake was mentioned as quite the spot to walk around and relax. Since 8 - 9 miles each way negates really hiking these parkways, ...bicycles were the only form of transportation. So I went with the herd and rented a mountain bike for the first day of my visit here. I left my car in a free parking lot across the street from Pat's. I then rented a bike...though I didn't know how long it would take me to navigate either of the parkways. The employee inside Pat's said well...it's $60 - Canadian to have the bike for the entire day. No problem....when I paid w/ credit card.....it came to $47 - US dollars. Yeah, I must admit...I used the bike to ride around town taking in the sights which was quite nice. But then I rode just out of Waterton and started navigating Akamina Parkway. Wow....what a mistake!!! Not only was Akamina Parkway totally going uphill the entire way....but the wind was against me and quite ferocious. Oh my....countless times I got off the bike and walked. It was a struggle to say the least! After maybe 7 miles and wasting 2.5 hours going one way on Akamina Parkway.....I said enough and turned around. Now going back downhill and with the wind......I barely pedaled and returned back to town in about 15 minutes! During my experience riding the bike....other tourists and visitors stopped me and told me I rented the wrong bike! They said I needed to rent an E-BIKE! Yes an E-BIKE! It has a built in motor that assists you while pedaling and makes for any ride or commute quite easy. Wow what was I thinking? Though Pat's never mentioned to me anything about an E-Bike! Literally, I haven't rode a bike in about 25 years. What did I know about new technology? Anyways, when I finished my rental for the day...I asked back at Pat's how much an E-Bike cost to rent. They mentioned it was $30 for the 1st hour...and $20 each additional hour. And...they don't offer all day rentals on these e-bikes like they do for mountain bikes. Unfortunately although I was spending a 2nd day at Waterton...I considered an E- Bike...but didn't want to be pressed for how much time I would need to use it. Ultimately, I just passed. I tried walking Red Rock Parkway but that was quite a mistake. Oh well, I guess nature does have its drawbacks and fires is one of them. I had to accept I couldn't explore everything I had intended on. Just a few things...my mountain bike rental for the day, wow...the SEAT was so UNCOMFORTABLE my "undercarriage" hurt for days. I had trouble walking that's how unbearable the bike ride was. Also, Akamina Parkway was quite disappointing in terms of scenery. It wasn't pretty at all and although I never made it to Cameron Lake, my whole ride offered virtually nothing exciting. Hopefully for 2020 and beyond, both Akamina and Red Rock Parkways will be passable for cars. Then I can't imagine Pat's bicycle rentals being popular whatsoever. It'll just remain a straightforward quick stop gas station in the center of Waterton.

Pats is the best. They do it all. Need a flat repaired?…read morePats. Cheapest gas in southern Alberta? Pats. Looking to ride some bikes around the park? Pats. Need board games to fill up some time camping in the rain? Pats. Looking for souvenirs/stickers/waterton branded shirts? Pats. They literally have it all. Their staff is probably one of the friendliest and helpful I've encountered in waterton over my past 5 years visiting the park. Not only are they friendly, they're extremely knowledgeable on the area and do it all everyday for over 12 hours. They're open earlier and later than the visitor center and they sell fishing licences as well so they also provide this much needed service. They are a pillar to waterton and any visit to waterton isn't complete without a stop by Pats.

They don't carry those (only the more expensive patterned ones). Want to contact them on their website? They don't load the captcha they require. Town Pump is a monopolist which uses their market dominance to avoid having to do things like ordering enough product for their demand, ordering cheaper variants of a product, or not selling busted packs of soda. You'll also probably have to wait for a couple other customers to pay for their goods before you can pay for yours, while another employee stands around pretending to be busy, having just ceased chatting with his coworker when the first customer approached the register.

The new…read moreowners had an opportunity to continue making this a welcoming place where locals were met by a friendly face and a warm greeting when they walked in the door. Sadly, they've scored a big F for FAIL. My husband and/or I have stopped in at least a dozen times since last October, and last week we decided "enough is enough." We mostly encounter the male owner, not his wife. He's not much of a talker, gruff to the point of blatant rudeness. A simple question like "where can I find xyz?" is met with a "what, are you stupid?" stare and a reply that expresses that same attitude. We thought maybe he just didn't like us for some bizarre reason. Is it because we've only lived here for 12 years and aren't "old timers" like his family? But we've seen him treat others, tourists and locals alike, just as rudely. It's almost like he's baiting them to call out his rudeness so he can then refuse them service. When we witnessed EXACTLY that last week, we decided we're DONE with Papa's Market, and we are telling all our family and friends who live here to do the same. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertising. When you treat one customer badly, you can multiply that by 10. In small towns like ours, multiply by 20. REAL Montanans are good neighbors, no matter how long their neighbor has lived in Montana. Now, if you don't care about rude business owners (let's face it, civility and common decency appears to have been thrown out the window in this country), here are a few other things to keep in mind before giving this establishment your hard-earned dollars. 1) Prices at places like this (tourist traps) that get a lot of out-of-state travelers usually are much higher. That's an unfortunate given. We understand inflation is making things tough for everyone, but Papa's Market prices are INSANELY high. 6 bucks for a regular size box of Nabisco crackers? 5 bucks for box of cake mix? Back in December, I ran out of raisins for a dessert recipe and sent my husband over to Papa's (3 min. away) for a box. He ended up going to Harvest Foods because even with the extra mileage, it was still cheaper than what Papa's was selling: 6 halloween-treat-size boxes of raisins that had been wrapped in cellophane and slapped with price of $4.99. 2) Gas price gauging. Watch out! Read the Unleaded gas price sign very carefully. The price is for CASH ONLY. When you get to the pump, you'll find the price is at least 10 cents higher if you're paying by credit card. No matter which method of payment you use, gas prices at Papa's are ALWAYS at least 10-20 cents higher than the Harvest Foods gas station just 5 miles north. 3) If you're looking at old reviews, please be aware that Papa's doesn't sell milkshakes anymore. There is a nice veggie/fruit stand set up outside every Wednesday (June-September) by the local Hutterite community. My one star in this review is for the Hutterite stand, though they'd get 5 all on their own.
