Nestled in the heart of the University of Ottawa campus, the Pivik has been a historic student store serving the community for 45 years. As the only General Store on campus, it offers a diverse range of products to cater to the diverse needs of students, including snacks, meals, drinks, school supplies, personal care items, and household products. The store is known for its friendly and trusting atmosphere, where students can browse freely without fear of theft. While the prices may be slightly higher than off-campus options, the convenience and variety make Pivik a valuable resource for the university community. The store is particularly praised for its great food options, including delicious sushi and PB&J sandwiches, though lactose-intolerant students may find limited choices.
