Shopper’s Drug Mart

Really nice and super awesome staff in the make up department. She was nice and really informative about different oil blotting papers and then went even further to help me pick different products for my oily skin now that I have bangs lol
I didn’t buy anything cause I was heading out to a bar with friends but she gave me some useful samples and wasn’t upset at all.
Friendly and helpful!

This Shoppers location is conveniently located on College just west of Bathurst and although a lot smaller than most Shoppers, it usually has everything you need from a drug store. Plus the pharmacy onsite is great and dispensing fee reasonable.
The setup of the store upon entering is like a maze once pass the turnstile, but everything is neatly organized and well labelled.
Upon entering, you will also get greeted warmly by the cosmetics lady whose counter is right by the entrance which almost acts like a reception area.
Cashiers are always friendly and helpful. It can get busy at peak hours i.e. after work, but staff manages the line pretty efficiently.
I’ve been coming to this location since it opened and welcomed the store with open arms because of the close proximity to home.
Prices at times may be a little high, but they do have frequent sales. I’m definitely quite a regular shopper here and will continue to be a loyal shopper. Bring on the Optimum points!

I come to this location because it’s a short walk from my apartment… and that’s pretty much the only reason.
They NEVER have the sale items in stock, even if you come on the first day of the sale. Always out of the sale paper towels, toilet paper or Kleenex. I don’t know if this is the result of someone not ordering properly? Or just not ordering at all? Not much of a food selection, but considering their small floor space, this doesn’t bother me as much. I can always get a liter of milk or a bag of chips no problem. Luckily throughout my day I am around «better» Shoppers stores, so I end up going to a different location. I wish I could stop in on the way home and be guaranteed to get what I need though! This is apparently too much to ask.
The pharmacy is quite good. There are two pharmacists who are great and have gotten to know me. Another plus, there are hardly ever line-​ups. I shopped at the Bloor and Walmer Shoppers for years and the line-​up situation at the College and Bathurst store is 8 million times better!
The long and the short of this review is that when you go you’ll only get half of your list crossed off, and then have to go to a different Shoppers to finish up.

A heck of a lot of fun. The labyrinthine layout serves to both amuse and guide one’s eye toward important impulse purchases. One feels just as likely to encounter a Minotaur as one is a bottle of Listerine! Very drole. Everyone is kind, patient and willing to listen to your stories and opinions. The blood pressure machine is a real hoot and tissue is inexpensive and comes in a variety of colorful boxes. I will be returning!
