CHECK PRICES ONLINE BEFORE ENTERING ANY POPEYES STORE. They charge every customer differently.
POPEYES EDMONTON SOUTH = SCAMMERS. Dealt with a skinny Caucasian girl (like bones skinny) today at POPEYES EDMONTON SOUTH and she charged me $ 3.50 per protein bar ($ 42 for 12). She made it look like she was giving me a 50 cent discount. My mistake was that I didn’t look at the price, just paid and walked out. While driving home, I looked at the receipt, made a U-​turn and got back to the store within 5 minutes. This girl said that she doesn’t do returns and that there’s no way that her or her manager will take the bars back. The receipt says that they have to give store credit or return for something else for unopened items for 15 days. She told me 5 times that she can’t take it back, she didn’t talk about any return policy, was extremely rude and obnoxious. I’m so happy that once customer saw her attitude, looks like he was about to buy something but got out as soon as he heard my story. One thing I noticed before I got scammed was that she likes to goes to the register and fudge with the numbers. Please keep your eye when you purchase from Popeyes. She kept calculating how much she could charge, my guess is that if you just go blindly pay (like some or most of us do), this store will take advantage of you. Anyways, I asked for the manager/​owners phone number and she refused to give it to me. Called the Edmonton Police Complaint line and they said they won’t do anything but that she HAS TO give me the manager/​owners number or call me back asap. I told her on the phone that I talked to the police and that I’m coming back for a refund. I didn’t actually go back, but called back 10 mins later and talked to a old caucasian man who said he was the owner of the store. He said that his employee handled the situation perfectly (which I guess means to not follow what’s written on the receipt or disrespect customers). If you want more information on this story, please contact me. I’m prepared to share what type of bars I bought and the receipt which shows that I was overcharged. Anyways I basically told him to enjoy the profit he made off me and that I’m taking my business elsewhere. I’ve dealt with the West Edmonton Store and never had any problems or felt too overcharged (even though buying online is SO MUCH Cheaper (just use google)). Please, for your sake, do not go back to this store. Really low end type of people.

Like the loveable cartoon character, Popeye’s packs a lot of punch in that medium sized store. Popeye’s has been always my choice in supplement store going back to my time in Calgary. I have always been impressed with the products, service and prices. This Edmonton location is no different. The service is stellar. They know their stuff and can help you find anything you need.
I learned that they give discounts if you are Police, Fire and Military. They even gave me a discount for being a member at a local gym. This was a great start to the morning!
I bought a Whey Protein called IsoFlex in Chocolate (because it comes with mini chocolate chips inside). The 6lbs container went for for $ 103 (including tax). A very good price for that product. They even included a Popeye’s shaker cup. Nice touch!

I came here with my boyfriend as he is a gym and health freak! lol I had gotten him a Living Social voucher where you pay $ 20 and then get $ 40 worth of products. He uses those protein powders and such, so I thought it a great deal. The store was spotless, and according to my bf, the prices were fair. They had a good selection of bars and protein powders. The staff, a guy, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and was not at all put off by the fact that we were using a coupon. In fact, he grinned when I produced it and whipped up this enormous binder with other Living Social vouchers!!! We had a good laugh over the size of the binder! I totally recommend this place. Oh, they have parking in the back.

Popeye’s is one of those big stores lined with plastic jars of pills and powders. Not particularly exciting. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, you could easily waste lots of money on the wrong thing, but staff are friendly and helpful and know the product lines well. If you’re looking for weightlifting and bodybuilding supplements there’s a good selection and great prices, but it may help to do your own research online beforehand, to get a sense of which products would work best for you and what people on public chat forums are saying about them. Don’t trust the company testimonials. You don’t hear from the unsatisfied customers, only the ones who think it’s a wonder drug. If you’re going to put it into you, give it the careful research and consideration your body deserve. One great things about Popeye’s is, if you know what you like, you can buy bulk quantities of supplements like protein powders to save you money.
