Default Stores open 24/7

Any stores that you guys know of that are open 24 hours?

I've lived in Calgary for 18 yrs and Ive noticed we have almost nothing open at night. Now that im starting my night shift job I need places to entertain me on my off nights.

Some that I know of:

Any denny's location

Most mcdonalds with a drive-through.

Most Tim Hortons with a drive-through

Some A and W locations

And during the christmas holiday season Walmarts and SuperStores (dec 1 - dec 24)


And....thats all I can think of, if thats it im screwed. Can anyone think of anything else?

Which ones? For some reason I thought the Deerfoot one was but I asked and it's not.

We've actually had several threads on this throughout the years on CP and sadly, the list never grows.

I believe the Shawnessy one was, but is closed at nights right now as they are renovating it at night. Next time I'm in there, I'll ask.

I don't understand the problem, there should be roughly 16 hours a day that you're not working, so unless you need an awful lot of sleep, you will actually have more accessibility to businesses than most of us, excepting weekends. I used to work night shifts and never found this to be a concern, unless you're just worried that you'll have nowhere decent to go for 'lunch'.

Having said that I think that Road King is 24/7 and some people swear by the food there. I found it ho-hum but I'm a bit of a food snob (or maybe it's glutton... Who can say?)

None of the Walmarts are open 24/7 anymore at all. They stopped doing that in the fall. Even after the renos, they are now only open till around 11pm and some 12am.

In reality, the only things that are open 24 hours are the same old places as always, fast food drive throughs, Dennys, Shoppers etc. A few gyms in the city are 24 hours. That is it. This city still shuts down early. Heck, we were one of the last cities in Canada to finally get 24 hr Mcdonalds. If the OP is looking for places open late, let alone 24 hours, you will not find much.

You must be out of it...

How about regular stores for the munchies at 3:25AM, 7-11 or Macs?
