Shoppers Drug Mart

I have been dealing with this location on and off for the last 5 to 6 years, I must say since the new owners took over the service and helpful staff has considerately improved. Keep up the good work.

We’ve had a bit of a love/​hate relationship with this SDM over the past year, but lately they’ve been pretty stellar. Just recently, we snuck in the out hole (entered through the exit) juuuuuust after closing in order to pick up a prescription before a long weekend. They didn’t complain, accepted our (many!) apologies for kinda rather screwing them over, and got us outta there in a jiffy.
We arrived at 10:01pm, we were out by 10:04pm, and the girl at the cash had a little laugh about it.
So for all those times we got kinda snarky and slow service at the pharmacy, well, consider this Even-​Steven! We forgive you if you forgive us.
Outside this anecdote, uh, well, it’s a Shopper’s. Overpriced everything except the stuff that’s on sale (almost everything), well laid out, etc. As Nikkita mentions, the clearance shelf is routinely rather awesome (sunscreen for cheap, huzzah!) — we also often score frozen fruit, real juice, and healthy cereals on deep discount. As such, we almost never leave empty handed!
As for the clientele and safety of the area… meh. I’ve never experienced a problem with it. Lock up and feel confident nobody’s gonna cop your ride; if they do… well, they probably needed it more than you, anyway.

Crackers People at this joint but the cosmetics sale and clearance shelf make my day, also retro Pepsi which is VEGAN! I like this shoppers for good deals, the wicked industrial metal clearance shelf *always good cosmetics, vitamins, hair care products on it for ultra inexpensive* The Pharmacy department seems awesome… I see them dealing with all kinds of people in their typically fast and friendly, not fast and furious!
I like it, I will continue to go here but you have to watch your vehicle (Bike Especially) even if it is locked, It is a questionable part of town for sure, but for the most part people are friendly and the service is good. They also have a back parking lot for vehicles which is cool so you don’t have to pay for parking. It is pretty clean and spacious back there, but bring your mace. Not your prehistoric brain crusher, I am taking about the spray. Pepper or paper would work too, I think paper cuts would be more painful then pepper spray…
TIP: this place has a really good cosmetics line for skin of color, inexpensive and always fully stocked, ask the cosmetician.

Pretty decent little pharmacy. They’re pretty quick on filling prescriptions, and all-​in-​all they carry a fair stock of stuff including a limited stock of groceries.
