“Great pharmacists, they're speaking different languages, English and Arabic, very helpful, quick service with no waiting time, they have walk-in virtual clinic.Highly recommended.”

3777 Strandherd Dr, Nepean“A few months ago, one of my girlfriends and I didn’t know what to have for lunch. We drove past independent and decided to go inside to see what they had going on. We passed by the sandwich section by the front entrance and came across an egg salad sandwich and a roast beef sandwich…. boy oh boy, were we pleasantly surprised. We couldn’t stop talking about how good these sandwiches were. Now, whenever we hang out, do you know where we go? Independent. And what do we always get? An egg salad sandwich and a roast beef sandwich. Let’s just say, to whoever makes these sandwiches, you’ve changed our lives for the better and we hope both sides of your pillow are always cold.”
“Had some difficulty finding certain items, bc it was my first time there and it's huge in there. I was surprised to not see PC organic milk. But I found most things I was looking for and some really good deals. I'm glad grocery stores now have a Joe Fresh section. Very convenient that way.”
“My wife and I stopped by last week to get our annual Flu shot. In some respects, things went better than expected; while in others, they did notFirst, we also wanted to get an updated COVID vaccine booster, but based upon a phone call a couple of days before, we were told the clinic did NOT have any COVID vaccineSo, then I went to book our appointments online in order to reduce our wait time at the pharmacy clinic and to save us having to complete all the paperwork. Our first surprise was that online, it was allowing to book an appointment for Flu and COVID - Great!Unfortunately, once I finished filling everything out and clicked "Confirm" (or "Submit" or whatever), it came back that there was a problem. I had run into a problem completing the form along the way and had learned that a Red/Pink Caution message pops up describing the problem so that you knew what to correctGreat, so, as there was no such message on the page I had just completed when I submitted my request, I hit "Back" (or "Previous Page" or whatever). Still no problem sited. So, back again and again, until I went all the way back to the very first page where you selected the time you want for your appointment. The time I had selected was no longer availableIt seems that when you select a time, it does not get held for you. Someone else also picked the same time and submitted their request before I did, so I lost my selected appointment slot. I was able to select a new slot (though not really the time I wanted); BUT all the information I had previously filled in was lost, so I had to start all over againWell, forget that! We decided that we would simply take our chance with a walk-inThis turned out very well. We arrived between 11:45 and 11:50. There was no one ahead of us except one person with a scheduled appointment. Nevertheless, given the paperwork we had to fill out, this was not a problemOur timing could not have been better, as quite a few people started showing up at Noon or shortly thereafter. So, showing up a little before Noon for walk-ins is definitely a good idea if you can manage itAgain, we had been told that there was no COVID vaccine on hand; so, when I got in to get me Flu shot, I asked when do they expect to get any COVID vaccine in so that we know when to return. The answer was a surprise - they did have some COVID vaccine available. So, back to the waiting area. More paperwork. More waiting; but we got our COVID vaccine boosters, too!All in all, we were in and out in just a smidge under one hour”

100 Bayshore Dr, Nepean“HUGE WALMART, huge grocery section which is restocked daily! Friendly greeting staff as well. No matter what I need walmart has become my new go to place, they've only really not had a few items ive needed (vegan margarine, big canvases, candle wicks) Every isle has a wide selection except cats & books, but still this super store is just that! Its massive!!! The convenience & size is why It gets 4 stars and my realization that they dont delivery is why that 5th star stays with me! So what if I dont drive I cant buy big furniture ? I was told to go online for my two large wardrobes but when I did the site said it was too large to deliver... What? Lol!!! So i got someone with a truck to help me, someone helped bring it outside but didnt help lift it up into the truck which I found rude. The elevator outside is also always broken, which is also on bayshore but none the less enjoy walking down 8 flights of stairs with a million bags!”

200 Grant Carman Dr, Nepean“I'm pleasantly surprised. Bright and very clean store with nicely displayed products. The promotional prices were competitive and in line with other local discount stores. I was impressed by the wide range of products, which also include higher quality items. I've been avoiding Loblaws for several months due to their high prices, but this NoFrills I will be visiting from time to time.”
“I have been visiting this pharmacy for more than 15 years and they have consistently been efficient, accurate, and courteous. During Covid, they were super heroes. The quality of service never diminished. They've helped me thru crises when my doctor was literally negligent.”
“The clerk who helped out yesterday was amazing. There was an incorrect amount charged by the original clerk. Both clerks were helpful. The supervisor clerk was amazing. Patient and knew how to solve the issue. Ten on ten for client service and knowledge.”
“This location is amazing. We are from out of town and ran into an emergency with my Wife’s medication and they helped us sort it out and got us out of a very stressful time. Amazing staff!”
“Went in for a travel consultation and met with Francis Vazquez who explained the vaccination requirements, coordinated the prescriptions, and administered the vaccines. Ms Vazquez and the whole experience was very pleasant and efficient.”
“I switched to this Pharmasave from Shoppers with the hope that at the bare minimum they could at least fill my prescription without me having to walk in to ask for it 2 days after requesting it online (which Shoppers could never seem to do). From day one this pharmacy has exceeded my expectations by far! I ended up convincing my partner to switch pharmacies to this one too.
My prescriptions are always filled in a timely manner, they have made accommodations for me when my doctor was slow to get back with a refill, and they have always gone out of their way to make sure I am paying the best price they can possibly give me for my medication. Most days I am also greeted by my name when I walk in, which is a small thing but a type of courtesy that I have never experienced from a pharmacy before. There is a reason this pharmacy has no bad reviews :)”
