“Kane and his family run one of the few remaining family-owned variety stores, which is a rarity these days. It’s no surprise that they treat their regular customers like family as well. Their kindness and friendliness stand out in an area that doesn’t always feel welcoming. We truly appreciate their personal touch and dedication!"”
“The store has a good selection of products, especially the specialty pops they bring in! They also have a good selection of smoking equipment if you’re into that. The staff is polite and helpful when you need them, and the prices are competitive. Would recommend if you need to make a stop at a variety store!”
“Update: Now they sell alcohol at the store in singles and in larger packs/cases which is very convenient for me!!! I bought single beer and a vodka drink but they also have cider and wine it seems. The owner said there will be more brands coming soon.
Staff are always welcoming and kind! Surprisingly large selection of items. It's my go to place. So close to Western and they open early and close late especially during the school year.”
“Just happened too pop in there too find something quickly and was Greeted as soon as I walked in. Very friendly and they do have PRIME now!!!! Will be back. ????”
“The name of this store is a bit confusing because it's not on kipps lane maybe it used to be! I personally have had only the best A++ customer service at this store I always get greeted when I walk in.”
“I've been shopping here since October 2015, Jay is awesome! Some people claim he's rude and mean, that's not true. He is very sarcastic at times and this can come across negative it seems! Get to know Jay first before having a negative opinion of him! The other staff that work at the store are amazing too! Hands down the best convenience store in London!”
“I have used this store since before the Fly Away Home poster was up. Please never take it down! But the owners are lovely, have always been friendly and it is excellent for snack/junk food!”
“It's been a few years since I have been here. It's changed it's name but it function stays the same. I grew up going to this Variety store. It's a local Mini Mart that you can walk or ride your bike to. You can send your kids to pick up Bread or Hot Dog/Hamburger buns. The new subdivisions don't have neighbourhood Mini Marts. If you live in the new subdivisions up in Masonville, you have to get into your car & drive to a strip mall in a busy area w/ lots of Traffic. This Variety store is in a great neighbourhood They unfortunately don't build subdivisions that's a mix between homes, parks & small businesses. If you don't want to have to get in the car & drive to get things like milk, this neighbourhood Variety store & the Community around it are for you.”
“The hours have been REALLY inconsistent lately. The store employee(I believe there is only currently one) is great and extremely nice to myself and my kids. He holds doors for customers and always has a smile on his face. However the store owner (not the employee) can’t make up their mind on what the stores opening hours should be (it’s the only store within walking distance to me in Wortley) so I often find it closed when I expect it to be open or open when I had anticipated a later open time. This can be frustrating. There is also no phone number listed to contact the store to see if it’s open before I make the walk.
If wondering: People in this neighbourhood take their kids to school around 8 am. That’s when the neighbourhood wakes up. And when I personally find myself wanting to go to the corner store. And have often seen people checking the store times early in the morning too.”
“Just nice to know that stores can still exist not named Circle K.
I walk into any Circle K and ask if they sell stamps and they are Confused 1.4Billon ppl live in India your telling me that they don't have a mail system over there come-on guys......”

“It’s very surprising that they have everything you could think of! Anything you need they pretty much have it, and at a reasonable price! The staff is very quiet and friendly and very helpful if you tell them what you are looking for!”
“Well stocked, reasonable prices and amazing selection of candies and grocery items. They have new slushie machines and a coffee/tea station which I haven't tried yet. Nice place to go pickup a treat :)”
“The owners are extremely friendly!!
The lady always has a smile on her face
They have a great selection of products and at reasonable prices
A good place to go if you're in a pinch and can't get to the grocery store”
“Never left a review for a convenience store, but this one’s service is too exceptional to not mention. You’re always greeted by a pleasant person, there’s always a lot of variety at their store, and the owner is always ready to help with anything you might be looking for.”
