What kinds of stores are in Canada?

I am traveling to Niagara falls from the US and I would like to know what to expect. Are there Wal-Marts? 7-11's ? Shoprites? MCDONALDS? I need to know of nearby (reasonably priced) stores that I can run into to get food or batteries or whatever I will probably forget to bring with me.

Sadly, we have nearly every store in Canada that is in the US. We're chock-a-block full of freaking Wal-Marts, 7-11s (in fact Canada is the highest consumer of Slurpees per capita), and more McDonalds than you can puke a stick at.

We got KFCs and Starbucks and everything. What we don't have, we'll have a nearly identical Canadian version of. We might not have Targets, but we got Canadian Tires. We don't have Popeye's, but we have Swiss Chalet (which is actually much better).

Our stores are also linked with Interac networks that allow you to use your regular bank card in any convenience store or pharmacy to make your purchase. No special 'Mastercard Debit' or other BS, just your regular bank card. Something American stores should definitely take note of.

Only huts that trade you food for wolf pelts.


Jacob
The best store in Canada is "The Beer Store" It is self explanatory.

I'll repeat what the others just wrote : It's basicly the same stores that you have in the United States.

You'll see a lot of these :
Wal Mart, McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons, Zeller's (looks like wal mart), Best Buy, the source by circuit city (like radio shack), Loblaws, shoppers drug mart, pharmaprix, subway, a&w, buisness depot/staples/bureau en gros, taco bell, blockbuster, sears, the bay, h&m, couche-tard/mac's (like 7-11), ben and jerry's, dunkin donuts, krispy kreme, kelsy's, toys 'r' us, chapters/indigo, payless shoe source, winners, hmv, dollarama, old navy, gap, american eagle outfitters ... AND A LOT MORE of American stores (because Canada is in America :-)

have a nice trip!

Canada isnt that much different than the US. Most stores that are in the states are in Canada as well. Zellers is a good store and so is Winners. Look in a phone book at where you will be staying to see what stores are available. I think you will be surprised at how many places are in both Canada and the US.

You will have to speak in French to get good service. Or Inuit (Eskimo speak). Don't forget that Canadians greet each other by touching each other's noses.

They don't have stores in Canada. They simply exist on homemade beer and raw moose.


hopestar
Um ... sorry we still live in igloos ...


Niagara Girl

There are actually several different stores in Canada, if you are looking for clothing, I suggest Roots, if you are lookng for a small tourist food shop, you can never go wrong with Beaver Tails (Beaver Tails is sort of a type of bread with topping.
