    The Hobby Centre - Largest selection of kits I've seen in over 30 years

    I get excited just knowing I'm going there. This is the ultimate toy store. Helpful staff, highly…read morerecommended!

    When I was planning our trip to Ottawa, I made it a point that we would come here and all my…read moreexpectations were blown out of the water. Hobby shops like this simply do not exist anymore in New York which used to have a slew of them when building plastic models was popular. There are still a couple of mom & pop places scattered around but not on the scale of the Hobby Centre. Kids these days only interact in the virtual world and hobbies like this will eventually fade away. But in the meantime, I'm going to hoard as many plastic model kits that will fit in my house. My favorite theme for building and painting plastic models are World War II planes, so I was on the hunt for a 1/72 B-17G Flying Fortress or maybe a B-29 Superfortress. Airfix (from the UK) is one of my favorite brands and they stock a lot of their line here, but neither bomber were in stock on this trip. The hunt goes on. They did have a new release of the Avro Lancaster, which I have been searching high and low. I also picked up an Italeri JAS-39 Gripen and a vintage Airfix BAC Lightning. Prices are pretty good, especially on the older vintage kits along the back wall. With the favorable US$ exchange rate, I got some good deals. If I had spent more time here, I definitely would have blown through all the cash in my wallet, never mind my spending limit on my credit card. I just might have to make a return trip to Canada with a large trailer!

    Kitchen/Bathroom countertop reno in Edmonton. Used Costco as have always had positive experience…read morewith issues/refunds in warehouse so assumed (silly me) that their Installation Services - noted on wall by exit of all warehouse - would offer same awesome customer service. Not so. Email on my contract - invalid, phone number on my contract is for a call centre where they just answer calls but cannot provide any answers. Advise that they will pass along to Manager to call, but I called and was told this three times and no one has every returned my call. They use third party contracts and if you have any issues, there is no one there to l provide any assistance. I finally had to go through my local warehouse and the manager sent two emails before anyone contacted me. Spoke to a lady on the phone who told me to send an email with my concerns. Received confirmation that they would look into my issues and then once job done, received another emails stating discussions with Vendor and Installation team underway and then crickets. No one has addressed my concerns. The countertop was not what I expected, the Third Party Contractor in Edmonton was FloForm Countertops and they were the most unprofessional company I have ever worked with. Costco Installation's prices are three times what you would pay at a granite place and you don't get to see your slab prior to production as they only have an office with samples. I say save yourself the time and money of dealing with COSTCO INSTALLATION SERVICES.

    For the price, you can not go wrong with the resto at Costco. This HUGE pizza is absolutely…read moredelicious. I prefer the cheese myself as the pepperoni gets a bit oily. This could easily feed 4/5 people with one pie. Cost is 13.99. I wish they still had the all dressed but this in a pinch when you are at Costco really does the job

    I have always loved Costco, but I went recently during the Covid-19 Pandemic and I have to say that…read moreI was very impressed with the way they ran things and now I love them even more. Masks are mandatory at Costco during these pandemic times, and if you don't have your own, they will give you a disposable one for free. They take the mask directly from the box with a pair of tweezers and hand it to you that way, so the workers don't touch the mask or you. They also have hand sanitizer at the entrance. They spray down the carts as well. The shopping experience inside is similar to Pre-Covid times, other than the fact that there are less shoppers allowed into the store, so it's less crowded. There is also plexiglass at the cash registers. They still take cash. The food area is open for takeaway only. You order at the touchscreen and pay there too. Only cards are accepted here, no cash. Fountain drinks are given to you by a staff member (no self-serve), they do ask you if you want ice or not, which I thought was nice. Once your food is ready, they call out your order and you go and get it. I don't know how long this pandemic is going to last, nor do I know how many of these measures will continue once the pandemic is over. However, I think Costco has handled things well. Costco has a special place in my heart because my usual Costco companion is my brother and we have brother-sister together time at Costco when we go. My most recent visit to this Costco though was with a new friend I met at work (I was deployed to a new work location for the Covid-19 Emergency Response and hardly knew anyone there when I first started). Costco, helping people bond, one relationship at a time, lol. I guess I should write a blurb about what Costco actually is, right? Although I think everyone knows that Costco is a store that sells items mostly in bulk, and you need a membership to shop there. Memberships start at about $55/year. Members can bring guests though. They take debit, cash or Costco credit card (they don't take other credit cards). Pre-Covid, they would give out samples of their items. Samples of course are no more. They have their house brand, Kirkland, which is actually quite good. Prices are cheaper than regular prices at mainstream grocery stores, but not really cheaper than sale prices at mainstream grocery stores. Although Costco has a lot of exclusive products, which I like. In addition to items you would find at regular grocery stores, they also carry electronics, books, toys, clothes and jewelery. There is also a pharmacy and an optical at Costco. They also have a Costco gas station and prices are about $0.10 a litre less than at other gas stations. There's lots of free parking.
