Canada's largest pharmacy chain provides Health, Beauty and Convenience with extended hours, prescription and over-the-counter medications, and quality health, beauty, grocery, and gift items.
I work in downtown so this location is very convenient for me to purchase items. It's always clean however their check out sometimes seems disorganized. However I know businesses can have a hard time keeping up with customer traffic.
This review is about the Travel Clinic at the pharmacy in the larger of the two shoppers drugmarts in city centre. (It's the one with the post office - the east side of city centre)
The Pharmacist is excellent here. This is the second time I've used this travel clinic and she is very knowledgeable and helpful. Last time I was heading to South Africa and she offered me everything I could...

A standard Shoppers Drug Mart location. The lineups weren't clear to me when I visited which seemed disorganized. The cashier wasn't the most polite that I've encountered but I imagine the job is stressful. I like the fact that they sell bus passes.
There are 2 Shoppers drug mart locations in city centre. This one has more food items. Small frozen section, eggs, milk and dry food. Not a big selection but awesome if you are downtown and out of something. This location also has a post office.
Just like the other shoppers in city centre the busy times are usually during lunch and around 5-6 when the offices around close. Line ups can be big...

I am not a huge shoppers fan in general but the shoppers on the bottom level of city center has longer lines and poor customer service so if I desperately need a drug store item I pick the lesser of the two evils and come here. There is no freezer food but they still have a decent selection of canned,dry,and snacky foods. They also have a much nicer seasonal and cosmetics section. There are few... more
Shoppers is another place that's great for those quick errands you need to take care of during the work day or just when you're passing by. I particularly like the beauty counter they have at this location because they have excellent customer service. One of the girls, Angela, really helped me out when I was clueless about buying makeup for my wedding. She took me under her wing and helped me... more
I don't know what to say about this shoppers. I have never been more frustrated in a store. The post office employes have absolutely no idea what they are doing, the other staff stay behind the counter. This is a problem because it's impossible to find anything. The layout is a disaster ... though they may have done the best they could with the space provided. I can't stand this shoppers, I... more
Decent place to purchase your necessary beauty items, but be prepared to pay an extra 5 cents for shopping bags. They charge extra for those.
I usually buy my headache medicine in Canada because they are more potent than the U.S.
They used to be cheaper, but the currency exchange is not too good for Americans.
It's more expensive to buy stuff in Canada now if you are using US Dollars.
Not their...

The store generally offers a good experience. However, the photo printing department does not have the most friendly server. I printed my photo on the self-service machine and asked for a quick cut but was refused for reason "it's only a 30 cents photo and is not worth my time to cut it. To cut it it's $2.00". WOW, comon, it's a job literally worth 5 seconds and the guy there didn't look... more
When I used to work downtown I visited this Shoppers Drug Mart a lot. I usually would browse the magazines if I needed to kill time.
Shoppers is good for a lot more than that though. They have most of your household needs like toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, a pharmacy and much much more. This particular shoppers offers more than the average one. I was surprised when I saw a food section.

The only Shoppers Drug Mart I visit is the one located in City Centre. Inside this Shoppers' location there is a beauty boutique where you can buy hard to find brands such as Nuxe and Kibio. If it wasn't for the beauty boutique, I would visit Shoppers Drug Mart even less often than I do now, because in reality it is just an overpriced drug store. I did price comparison and discovered that... more
Is it possible for two Shoppers Drug Mart stores to coexist in only a one-minute walk one another? The answer is yes. This used to be a Value Drug Mart, and I was puzzled, when it changed to a Shoppers Drug Mart, since there is another one right next door in the adjoining mall.
This Shoppers Drug Mart though is different though. It's just like a regular Shoppers with a nice beauty department...
