“Remac is easily the best corner store in the city. It is family owned and run, making it a gem in a time where there is a circle k on every block. The staff is extremely kind and I see the same man every time who works very long hours and what seems like everyday. Week after week, as the seasons change, the same man is there with a smile and a friendly conversation as he sorts loonies and quarters for me so that I can use the coin operated laundry machine in my student house. I see those in line before from all walks of life, whether construction workers or police officers, chatting away with him as if old friends catching up. Many days, I go in for something quick like more milk when I’m stressed and down from exams but am met with kindness that turns my day around. This shop is the very essence of a hard working family business that enriches the neighbourhood around it.”
“Today I took pizzas from this store and it was delicious, each pizza was large and it cost me 18 dollars + tax. Also the owners were so nice and friendly. Highly recommended to people who are living in Tunneys pasture.”
“Can’t say enough good things about this store.
There are no grocery stores in walking distance of this neighbourhood. Thankfully, Abbas Grocery keeps its shelves stocked with all the basics, as well as fresh produce and a number of other important household items. It’s also very affordable (in a time where major grocery stores jack up their prices at will) and the staff are all wonderful. Every one of them, owner included, are friendly and helpful.
Some weeks, I’m in this store almost every day, and that doesn’t bother me at all. Happy to support this business and can safely say living in this neighbourhood would be much more difficult without it.”
“Domestics food is an institution. Hadi treats customers as if they were family. A Chocolate Bar selection second to none, Faygo Soda, & a stocked freezer of Ben & Jerry's, what more could you want.”
“A lovely little candy shop that specializes in treats from abroad that aren't usually available locally. We stopped in to get some treats before heading back to our hotel for the evening. They had a good selection of chocolate, chips, and other treats at a great price. Service was polite and prompt. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.”
“This place is a local gem. I heard Kaz Kitchen had changed ownership recently and decided to check it out since it has been a few months of disappointment with what was in the shelves. The new owner was so kind and immediately wanted to know what I was looking for and promised to stock it up for me. A couple days later, she had gotten exactly what I was looking for, and she's kept it in stock since! Not to mention the meat pies and lasagnas and desserts she makes! I always make sure to get a lunch or snack while there. Excellent cornerstore for Guigues Avenue.”
“I love this store, the owners are super friendly and always remember what cigarettes I buy, don't even have to say a word. It's the kind of customer service you just don't get anymore.”
“This has bar and the employees are top notch! Always going above and beyond for coworkers and customers. Great job to all you guys. You make this Stinson driver very proud ??”

“This was my first visit. Excellent shop with lots of great importeded food and snacks in a small market area. They also have a restaurant with a variety of food items. Didn't order any food this visit, but I hope to try their menu on my next visit to Ottawa.”
“A great local store with friendly, helpful staff who assist with everything you need. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a warm and welcoming shopping experience:)”

“I have been to this store a lot of times and all I see some of the homeless guys. They dnt buy anything but yes steal a lot. I have seen these guys to struggle with them, tellinh them to return the stolen items. And after watching news yeaterday(Peterborough), I think you guys need to call Police as soon as possible. The community is with you. Keep doing good.”
“Excellent and friendly service from the employees at this location. I have always been treated with kindness and respect every time I have gone in. The store is kept neat and clean and very well lit. Even when deliveries and stocking is being done the aisles are always accessible and easy to navigate.”
“UOTTAWA STUDENTS. IF YOU NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE PLEASE GO HERE. prices are kinda high but they're still wayyy better than the prices of circle k off campus. its usually just some student working there so they're super chill and friendly. unlike some other convenience stores in the area, they actually trust you walking around the store alone because they realize how unlikely it is that some adult would bother stealing a piece of chocolate or something.”
“This is a great little Circle K in a strip mall. No gas station attached. It's one of the few Circle Ks where I was greeted by the staff when I walked in. The guy was super friendly. They have a roller grill, so I picked up a taquito/tornado ($2.29) for my dad. I got him a pepperoni and cheese one and he said it tasted like pizza, lol. I like that the taquito flavours were labeled at this location. At some locations they aren't labeled, so you have to take a gamble with the flavour if you're getting one, haha. They also had Nashville Hot Roller Bites at this location. And of course, hot dogs. They didn't have that many Froster flavours, maybe 8 or so. They had lots of Polar Pop flavours, but not the elusive Blue Raspberry Crush. Their coffee/hot chocolate selection was good. I ended up getting a Mint Oreo Hot Chocolate for my nieces ($1.49). It was super sweet and potent. Staff were very competent at checkout, as I had some coupons, and they knew exactly how to process them. Lots of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.”

owner and staff alike. I don't understand people that complain that prices are higher? Independant stores are not Costco !”

“I don't have any experience as a patron of this establishment. However, the building is well located, has architectural significance, and the store fills a community need.”
