(How have I not been asked to review this store before now?!?!?!)I LOVE Mega-Mart! As a local family-owned business, this shop is a FANTASTIC place to support. I've been a resident of Burnside-Gorge for almost 10 years now (surviving one relocation), and have been a Mega-Mart customer for just as long--watching their children grow up working the cash register over the years.Unlike several other retailers in the area--who have allowed recent challenges in our neighbourhood to affect their treatment of regular, loyal customers for the worse--this business continues to maintain friendly, accessible service, without making unreasonable demands (or allowing poor treatment) of the people who simply wish to continue shopping there in peace, in spite of all the dangerous and frightening events that have managed to attach themselves to our collective experiences. This family has been so gracious to me, personally (just a random customer, nothing distinguishing or special about me), I have noticed over the years how much care they placed on paying attention to certain things I like (some hard to find elsewhere), always making sure to have them available for me, even checking on whether I'm satisfied with the options, or if I might prefer something a little different. In fact, there are even a few items they brought into regular stock SPECIFICALLY at my request, and, as I remain the only customer who buys them (and they are not exceptionally profitable items), it just demonstrates how much they value the happiness of each individual customer (though lack of immediate competition could allow them to be significantly more indifferent, if they wanted).Also, I find their pricing on the types of things that are NOTORIOUSLY expensive at convenience stores (like OTC medicine, instant coffee, and general merchandise) to be VERY fair--sometimes, even, a real bargain--as it's obvious they simply price based on what it costs them, and not how desperate you're likely to be (or how much pain you might be in) when you need something (another example of their ethical business practice, treating customers as fellow human beings, and not just an income-source ripe for the exploitation).I know this has been a long review, but, after nearly a decade of consistently receiving GREAT treatment from this store, it is both well-deserved and long overdue! If you live/work in the area, I encourage you to patronize them as much as you can for your regular supplies; I doubt you'll be able to COMPLETELY replace your larger-scale, national-chain shopping, but for the items that make sense, you'll increase your own convenience of access, while helping to keep fueling an ethical family business our community is SO lucky to have!

First time I ever go to this Mega Mart and the guy behind the til tells me his debit machine is not working. He informs me that they have an ATM at the back of the store to pull out cadh so I go use it and the ATM fee was posted as $2.50. When I checked my bank statements somehow there was another $2.00 added on to the $2.50. NEVER will I be going into this rip off artists store again. Furthermore after some of my own investigating I've discovered they own the ATM .. ALSO found out this store was busted for fencing stolen merchandise a few years back . Avoid using the ATM in this store..

Best place for 420 related buys except weed itself and the shelves are stocked regularly. Also there's everything for breakfast.

I was accused of stealing my 20 dollars change when it hadn't even been given to me yet. I emptied my pockets and lifted my shirt to show the cashier that I had no cash at all and she threw the 20 down and yelled at me! My mother and I WERE very regular customers.

Bought smokes, some scratch tickets, a lighter and a gatorade. Took the cashier a long time to find the smokes, she insisted that she gave me my change which she did not, and she forgot to gave me my scratch tickets and my lighter. When I reminded her politely that she had forgotten, she threw the scratch tickets at me. Maybe she was having a bad day. I go there all the time, and usually they are very nice, but there is no excuse for the attitude I was given today.
