"My brother initially purchased a SIM card here that proved to be unnecessary due to a language barrier"
"Best experience ever!!!! I’m not a tech savvy person, and was in today to upgrade my phone"
"I have been going to this location for years when I needed something at the last minute"
"I dropped by at The Core branch on a Monday noon looking for a Galaxy Watch 5 in a specific size and colour"
"I signed up for a virgin mobile plan here"
My brother initially purchased a SIM card here that proved to be unnecessary due to a language barrier. Within 10 minutes, I returned to the store to inquire about changing the cellphone plan. The staff member who had previously assisted him indicated this was feasible and began to help us. Everything was proceeding smoothly until he sought his manager's assistance, a person named Ahmed. Regrettably, Ahmad's behavior during our interaction was unprofessional and disrespectful. He appeared to treat my inquiry as if it were illicit, making me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. I had simply asked a question, and his response was unnecessarily aggressive. To make matters worse, Ahmad instructed the staff member to issue a refund in a manner that made it appear as though he were making a charitable donation. He also prevented the helpful staff member from completing his task and called him away, so someone else finished the job. While I am uncertain of the store's ownership, it is evident that Ahmed may require further training and guidance to improve his conduct. I would like to note that the other staff members at the store were exceptionally courteous and helpful. Regrettably, my experience with Ahmed has led me to assign a one-star rating, despite the positive interactions with other staff members.
Best experience ever!!!! I’m not a tech savvy person, and was in today to upgrade my phone. The assistant manager, Leandra, was the one helping me today. After explaining to her what exactly I wanted from my phone, she got me the best deal there was. She also downloaded all of my information from my old phone, out an app on my new phone for a service that would help me if I had any questions or issues going forward to help me with understanding or using my phone. She went over and above to ensure that I was fully satisfied with what I was getting, and made sure I got the device that was user friendly for me. Leandra mentioned she had just started in her position, and to be honest, I was quite surprised with her level of knowledge for being new. Her fellow staff members were equally as helpful:)))) Will definitely be sending anyone to her that is in need of anything from the source:) Exceptional experience!!!!
I have been going to this location for years when I needed something at the last minute. It's almost like this store is a hidden gem for customer service: the staff at this store have always been quick to approach you right away to ask if they can help in a super friendly manner, always demonstrate a willingness to help, and have a bit of knowledge about some of their products. I commend the training program and/or the hiring choices for this store! I am always pleasantly surprised with how the customer service here has never disappointed me. Bravo team!
I dropped by at The Core branch on a Monday noon looking for a Galaxy Watch 5 in a specific size and colour. While they did not have the product with the specifications I was looking for, Mamta helped me out by offering to call the Chinook Mall branch to confirm if they had it in stock and ready for pickup. Honestly, Mamta made my purchase decision so much easier, and the whole process went by very smoothly. I highly recommend this branch and would definitely not hesitate to return in the future, if needed.
I signed up for a virgin mobile plan here. The employe who entered my details put in all the wrong info. She entered a wrong address and birthday. This led to complications with my billing which was a hassle to fix. My friend also signed up for a virgin plan here and he was told by the manager that he had free long distance calling too Germany. It turns out this was wrong information and he was charged $60 dollars extra because of calls made to Germany.
Today I went to the Source to get a new inexpensive cell phone and with a replacement SIM card. Mamta was patiently helping me with contacting Virgin customer service. I was standing there for more than 1 hour until almost 5.30 PM. I was about to give up when finally I was able to have a cell phone that was ready for me to use. Thank you so much for Mamta, I will definitely recommend this store, excellent customer service.
During my visit to store, I intended to purchase a watch for a friend. However, thanks to the incredible assistance of Gabriel, Stephanie, and Mohamed, my experience took an exciting turn. Not only did I find the perfect watch, but I also ended up with a fantastic, low-priced upgrade for my phone plan. Huge thanks to the team for their outstanding service and pleasant surprises! Highly recommended!
September 27, I walked into the source inside TD mall, looking for an item. The store didn't have the item I was looking for but thankfully I ran into two amazing employees name Giuliano & Ali. They were able to assist me with all my needs. They provided amazing support on how I can get what I need. I would like to thank you both of them. I appreciate all your help. Great customer service.
I was helped at the Source store in the Core mall by these two gentlemen: Ahmad Zeaiter and Gabriel Quadrado. They were very thoughtful of my best interests and provided me with more options to choose from. Unlike other sales associates, they didn’t try to push me to get their services, instead advised whatever was genuinely the best and answered all my questions with details and kindness.
Was looking for a stereo without wifi and Bluetooth and out of all the stores i called the downtown core location was the ones who had what i needed. Omar was such a pleasure to work with and held the product i needed aside so i could make it down to the store and purchase it. Very friendly staff!!! Thank you team at the downtown core location!!! 5 stars all day errrr day!!
very good attitude towards the client. I was very pleased. the team gives the opportunity to fully test the product and compare with similar products. they unpacked everything that I wanted to listen to, it was a jbl speaker and I could evaluate the sound live myself, which was not allowed to me in other audio stores. Huge and personal thanks to Gabriel! Thank you bro!
The two guys PARKER and SUE were really helpful,professional and polite. They walked me through all the plans and picked the perfect plan for me with very clear explanations. I am a newcomer and they gave me gift card too from which i was able to buy an amazing stuffs. Huge thanks to their outstanding services. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Moved to Canada on a working holiday visa so was completely unaware of what to do regarding a phone contract. Walked straight into the shop and employee Guiliano couldn't have been more helpful. Super friendly and informative. As I've never been to Calgary before he was even helpful with tips! Great experience, would recommend
Had a complicated transfer to do with my phone plan, and the manager handled everything so well! Ahmed was super patient and understanding, and it was extremely helpful. Went out of his way to help his new employee with my issues, and dealt with everything in a timely matter. Truly appreciate their help!!
Ahmad, Curtis and Giuliano were all super helpful in getting me set up with a new iPhone 14 pro and getting a new plan. I would absolutely recommend anybody considering switching to use these guys as they made the process as seamless as possible and were great with helping me find the best deal possible
Forgot my phone charger on a work trip to Calgary and needed one ASAP. Sales guy Armin convinced me to spend $5 more on a fast (20W) charger. I was skeptical to say the least, but he was totally right — it charges incredibly fast and is very convenient. Thanks for the great suggestion Armin!
The staff were a huge help (thanks Curtis!) and provided tons of info and some good recommendations, while still leaving the final decision up to me. I was considering a couple different options for gaming headsets and they carried most of them so I could look at options in-store.
Abhishek was extremely helpful, patient and professional. I'm a newcomer, so Abhishek explained all plans clearly and picked the best one for me. Also, he gave me an adapter free of charge as a welcoming gift, which was very sweet of him. I'm coming back to this store for sure!
Went to get a new phone and a few more things. Mamta was the person that attended to my needs. She was amazing and helped me setting up my new phone and getting everything I needed. Excellent service and certainly will come back again whenever I need something
I am not the buy and return person but I needed to return an item that was not compatible for my office desktop. Ahmad at The Source, The Core shopping mall location made things easy for me and was incredibly helpful. You got a great team there. Kudos!
This source store is my go-to now. Curtis helped me out and found everything I was looking for, and was able to explain the different products and brands to me with ease without talking down or making me feel stupid. Much appreciated and will be back!
Very professional and extremely helpful. Ahmad was incredible at suggesting the best plans according to my needs. He is very knowledgeable and super friendly. The store also offers lots of benefits such as offers and discounts. Will highly recommend!
I got an iphone 14 with the help of Ahmad. He is patient, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He helped me solved a complex problem. Instead of being impatient, he kept reassuring me by saying “no worries, I will help you”. I really appreciate his help.
We had a great experience at the store, we got very good deals and Mamta provide one of the best customer service experiences I got so far. She was of great help and all the store staff was very friendly and patient with us. Highly recommended.
I haven’t always had the best experience at the source, however on Monday I visited the store and Giuliano was a gem. He was friendly and helpful. I’m happy to see other great reviews about him because he deserves the praise for what he does.

Manta is amazing and super helpful! I have come to this store for 5 years now and every time I am very satisfied with the help. All the staffs here are also super awesome and nice. Highly recommend!
Giuliano made the process of purchasing a new phone easy and businesses are lacking class employees like him. Giuliano deserves a raise, if only I was his boss! :D Seriously though he was awesome.
Come here and look for Manta. She is excellent and all our cellphones plans we got from her, and every time we are looking for an electronic this is our first stop because of how awesome she is.
