Gas costs more in Canada. Anyone who lives on the border knows this. However, when I looked it up in gas buddy ot wasn't outrageously different - Sept 2022. This is a station right off the 403. Easy in and out. 20 pumps. Well spaced. 3 stars for this large chain. I default chains to 3 stars as they must be A-OK to expand as they have. read more

Normally you wouldn't think of Shell as being a place to think of many thoughts beyond "wow these gas prices are no longer making baby Jesus cry" or "man I have to pee but don't want to become patient zero for a new infectious super disease rising from the rank depths of the uncleaned toilet". This Shell is an exception. The owner clearly has a steady rotation of Shark Tank, Tony Robbins motivational speeches, and customer service training videos on repeat on their YouTube playlist. The employees are so friendly you feel like you should hug them. The store is immaculate. The occasional perks and overall lack of up selling is icing on the cake. I don't feel obligated to defend my views on why I don't want to take advantage of their impulse buy chocolate bar sales, and their occasional "customer appreciation day" bonuses of a free coffee or bottle of water, banana, and brownie for the morning commute to work make this place seem like the gas station version of cheers. But instead of Cliff the friendly mailman, you have the guy at pump 2 smoking and texting while pumping and playing Russian roulette with your lives with his egregious violations of clearly posted pump sticker rules. Violating pump sticker warnings is punishable by stockade in many European countries. But before I get further off track, if you're a Hamilton road east bound or Highbury Ave northbound commuter and play chicken with your gas light on the regular, I highly recommend making this station a go to fill up and fresh breath Bat belt tool reloading station. You won't regret it. read more
