| - I love living close to a good convenience store. I used to go to Ken's Convenience Store, which is down the street, but it's a) never open, b) has a really bad selection. For instance, they don't sell newspapers! And there aren't any newspaper boxes nearby either. 7-Eleven is a bit further down, but completely worth the walk for me. They sell newspapers for starters (even some fancy international ones), but there are many other good reasons, such as.........
- So clean and bright
- Very spacious - I can walk around without fearing I'll knock everything over.
- Staff are very very very nice
- CIBC Bank machine
- Amazing, not stale bulk candy, including 4 licorice types!
- Fresh-baked cookies and donuts
- 2 honey glazed donuts for $1 (imagine knock off Kripsy Keme)
- The coffee is not too bad! It's self-serve, lots of options, flavoured syrups, flavoured creamers
- They'll brew any coffee for you fresh if you ask
- Loyalty coffee card: buy four, get your fifth free
- TTC items that you can pay for with Visa/debit
-Good deals, Two big bags of Ruffles for $6, Mars for 99cents
- New chocolate: They have those really big Reese bars, Peanut butter Snickers, and a Three Musketeer that looked a Twix
- Apples, bananas, oranges (plus lots of other hot food I wouldn't want to eat, but you might - e.g., taquitos! sandwiches, patties, and a whole fridge full of prepared meals).
- If you drive, there is a parking lot
- At Chirstmas, I bought a blnking christmas lights necklace (with two extra batteries) for $5
Ok this convenience store post has gone on long enough. It is very nice though. Even though I usually like to support the little guys, like October Convenience and sometimes even Ken's Variety, this spot is very reliable and lovely.
