This Circle K used to be a Mac's Convenience Store, but was rebranded to Circle K a few years ago…read more It also has a gas station attached to it. The gas prices are always a little bit lower than other gas stations in the area. They also sell propane tanks for you know, those times when you are in the middle of BBQing your dinner and you run out of propane, lol. It's open 24 hours which is really convenient. However, prices are on the high side. Like a 6 pack of paper towels is $11.29 and chocolate bars are $2.49. All is forgiven though because they have Frosters which are like Slurpees! Carbonated blended ice drinks! They have 8 flavours, which change occasionally. A medium is $1.99. You serve yourself, so you can mix as many flavours as you like. It's a bit runnier than I like, so the flavours don't layer as well, but it's still good. Staff are courteous and efficient. Free parking on the sides. Gas pumps are directly in front of the store.

The vehicle was left buried due to the snow removal operations and its location.

Hala was also very compassionate and I am grateful to both for being kind to their customers.

This Circle K became my go-to place to redeem digital coupons while I was in Ottawa. The funny…read morething was that I had never intended to drop by this store. The city has a high number of standalone Circle K store, which is cool and different to me. Markham does not have any to my knowledge. Circle K stores tend to be attached to Esso stations in my area. My original plan was to visit the one on Laurier Avenue East. Sadly, I couldn't find a spot to park. I attempted to go around the block and ended up at this store on Osgoode Street instead. I found street parking all three times. There was a small parking lot on the right when you are looking at the store. However, it looked like it was for another business, so I completely skipped giving parking there a try. What stands out about this store is the large variety of Froster flavours. The number of flavours was easily in the double digits. Insane! I got a couple of Frosters here. I did Barq's root beer with lime Crush. I also did Mountain Dew purple thunder and orange Crush. Both were small and a lot of fun consuming on hot summer days. Staff are friendly here. They do enjoy doing upselling. I ended up getting Tic Tac candies. There was some deal going on. They did come in handy. Otherwise, I said no to everything else that they were trying to sell me. I got a number of AriZona drinks here. The selection was wonderful. I never duplicated my flavours. I realize that practically all my purchases were beverages. I also got a small English toffee. I wasn't sure if I could down a hot drink on a 30+°C day. I did it in my car and it was enjoyable. If you are a coffee drinker, this store has Monin sugar-free syrups to make your coffee fancier. I loved this addition. This store has a number of prepackaged foods, such as sandwiches and hamburgers. I loved this setup. There was a huge counter in the middle of the store with a microwave. My last visit wasn't the best, though. The place had replaced the medium Polar Pop cups with large ones. I had a coupon for a free medium Polar Pop. Since there weren't any medium cups, I thought that grabbing a large one where it clearly said medium would be fine. Nope, this place did not honour my redeeming my medium drink with a large cup. It was ridiculous. If you can stock large cups in your medium cup dispensers, and you only have large cups, you should let customers go large. Provide good customer service and delight your customers. Instead, I took a sip of my cream soda in my large clear cup and gave it back to the man at the counter. I then left. I ended up redeeming this coupon when I got back home. Other than that nonsense, it is a great Circle K to visit. (273)

This Circle K is so much larger than it looks from the outside. It has lots of Froster flavours,…read morePolar Pop flavours and a few coffee and hot chocolate options. I had a candy cane hot chocolate there (in August, lol) and it was good. Very minty and didn't just taste like hot water, like the hot chocolate does at some locations. The Polar Pops there though are a little flatter than at other locations. I like my pop super carbonated so was a bit disappointed. It has some hot food as well, including prepackaged hamburgers. I didn't see any pizza though. They have lots of canned drinks, but are often out of Arizona iced tea. They do have a good selection of snacks like chips and candies. This Circle K is a block away from another Circle K on Laurier Ave. I'm a bit surprised that there are 2 in close proximity, but they are both located near the University of Ottawa campus, so I guess there's plenty of customers for both stores. Service is quick and efficient. There's a parking lot next to the store, but the available spots had signage indicating it belonged to a certain business (not Circle K). I parked on the street.

My first visit to a Whole Foods Market was years ago, after completing a job interview in Yorkville…read morein Toronto. I definitely remember what I got: a slice of tiramisu. At that time, it was the only Whole Foods in the greater Toronto area. Whole Foods has grown on me, likely because Markham has one and I frequent it often. I don't fit the profile of a typical Whole Foods shopper who tends to carry expensive handbags, must get everything organic, and can afford all things expensive, including tiny bottles of elixirs that extend their years on planet Earth. I like their dairy-free items. I love Carbonaut bread and the entire bakery section, including tiramisu. There are specific items that I get at this store. If I'm looking for romaine lettuce or celery, you'll likely see me at a grocery store that offers these items at normal, cheaper prices. Four years ago, I was in the Glebe and saw this Whole Foods store. I didn't go in. I had already got what I needed at a Metro. On my most recent visit, after spending a few hours exploring the area with a friend, I realized that I needed almond beverage and lemons. I had yet to set foot in any grocery store. They were good reasons to check this store out. I had parked underground. The elevator got me to this store. I exited the elevator on the main floor to hit Winners. This store has a cafe that occupies the entire floor. It was busy just before noon. People must love getting coffee and a baked good here. When I returned just past 5 pm, you could hear crickets on this floor. The cafe was closed. It was different. My local one is still open when I'm there at 7 pm. I have yet to hit the cafe at any Whole Foods location. I took the escalator up to the second floor, which is where the entire supermarket is. I immediately found almond beverage. Organic. Sugar-free. Perfect. I also found the produce area. The Rainier cherries looked good. They were also so expensive that I blocked the price out and moved on. I got a couple of lemons. You could get a bag of six. The price was the same if you calculated how much one lemon was going for, so you might as well pick your own pristine-looking lemons. I looked around. It has the usual salad and hot food bars. You pay by weight, which does add up if you aren't careful. There were lots of snacks and drinks to choose from. A can of flavoured carbonated water was going for $2.69. It makes you wonder how this store determines the prices that it sets. It was enjoyable looking at the plants and flowers. It's a nice grocery store. I had an equally nice woman at the checkout area. I paid for my items with a debit card. I didn't need a bag. My lemons were already in one, so I carried it and my carton of almond beverage to the elevator. It was convenient taking the elevator down to the underground parking lot. I walked to my car, paid for parking, and left. The lemons and almond beverage were great. I'm glad that I got what I needed at this store. I had a fun time shopping here. It's my second Whole Foods that I've been to where it has two floors. We'll see if I return in another four years. Maybe I'll try the cafe... haha! (262)

The sauce they use is a mix of umami and sweet. Just enough was on the veggies to ensure your meal wasn't drenched. I've always been impressed with Farm Boys high quality of ingredients and will continue to go back. I've had their hot bar and salad bar which are delicious. There is something for everyone.

The Short Version: Small grocery store in Chinatown. Has a…read moregood selection of products at reasonable prices. The Longer Version: This small grocery store reminds me of the small grocery stores my mom used to take me to on weekends in Toronto's Chinatown when I was a kid. The store is not all that aesthetically pleasing, and some would consider it dingy looking, but it is functional. I like coming here for dried noodles. They also have cakes and cookies from Hung Loi bakery in Toronto. Prices are reasonable and selection is decent. I like small independent grocery stores, but I fear they are a dying breed. So while these days you can get lots of Asian items at mainstream supermarkets like Loblaws, Metro and Sobeys, I do prefer to support the little guys when I can. #172 (2025)

I am absolutely in love with the newer, and larger Farm Boy at Trainyards. I love all things Farm…read moreBoy regardless, but this newly built store has blown all others out of the water. The store is bright, and the aisles are wider with a lot more variety of products to chose from. P.S. their candy aisle is heaven. The produce is why I come here in the first place. I trust their quality and the prices are not bad either. I love how they have stations to get hot food, like burgers, fries and pizza. I recommend their fries, and usually always get some at the end of my shopping trip. They remind me of chip wagon fries, and are cooked and salted perfectly. Their poutine is also amazing. They still have their famous salad bar and hot bar, but due to covid, the salads are pre packaged and ready to grab, although if you still want to make your own, they have an employee working that section to serve you. There is a bridgehead coffee shop inside this location as well. Parking lot has improved with plenty of spaces. I cannot say enough good things about the new store.

It's a bit of a lost art these days to pack groceries properly, so thank you to their training team.
