This is a toy, gift and stationery store a.k.a. "character store" that makes Centerpoint Mall a…read moreplace to head to with a purpose for me. It's an awesome alternative to having to go way down into the city for a similar shop, or going all the way out to Pacific Mall or First Markham Place where you have to camp for a parking space and play rat in the maze trying to find the store you want! It's a modest size, and has a modest selection of merchandise, although it tends to carry only some of the more topical and popular stuff like Hello Kitty or Totoro items. They always have featured items on sale for very good prices, and a nice selection of gift cards and stationery. If you need Asian money envelopes and the like, this is a great place to get some. You can also get your origami and lucky star paper and "vases" as well. They also carry a few housewares (kitchen and bathroom wares, some small decorative and storage items, etc.) and gift items. After months of eyeing a particular lucky cat on the shelf above and behind the cash, I finally made the purchase. It was the last one of its particular kind and the staff pulled it down, wiped it off, and retrieved its cushion and all its packaging, expertly reassembling the box with its contents. This store has a bit of newer competition now with One's and now Miniso, but I have found that it tends to be far more worthwhile to circle back here after checking the other places out, because the prices are that much better for similar items. I like coming here regularly. It's very casual but it's great when you're down for a low key mall hop. Even if I don't buy something each time, I enjoy the browsing experience. It's especially great at the later end of January/early February and you are not dealing with a mob for lunar new year!

A couple of Saturdays ago, I passed by Danforth Convenience after having visited Cinnaholic. It's a…read morecool convenience store that you'd expect on the Danforth. It offers more than candy bars and snacks. What caught my attention were the cat grass, succulents, and other plants. Part of me wanted to buy a plant. I realized that I'd do a lot of damage here, so I felt that browsing would be better. This store feels like a mini florist. If you are looking for a bouquet of flowers, this store has a good selection at various price points. I saw an ATM inside the store. If you are in need of cash and are okay paying a network access fee, this machine is for you. This store has a nice logo consisting of a bag of groceries. The apple and baguette are nice touches. It was cool browsing. I may be back to get a succulent or many. (474)

It's funny how I have never reviewed this Dollar Tree. It's time to fix this issue!…read more I tend to get my hair cut at the Great Clips next door. Afterwards, I typically pop by Dollar Tree to browse and shop. I was in the area the other day and decided to drop by. I prefer Dollar Tree to Dollarama. I like the selection and everything is $1.25. At the latter, there are items that even go for $4.25. What's the point of being a dollar store if you are paying dollars for a single item? I suppose that we can blame our Canadian dollar competing with the American one when it comes to Dollarama pricing. Anyway, this Dollar Tree is the only one in Markham. I love the selection of items, from sardines, to dumplings and chicken in cans. I also love the noodle section. The seasonal section is awesome. Easter is nearly here. You can get scented Easter bunny plush toys and a ton of chocolate items. Nice! Staff are friendly. I managed to witness two staff members training a new one. They were much younger than the new hire, but were incredibly supportive of her progress. I still miss the awesomeness of Dollar Tree in the States. Perhaps one day, the frozen food section will magically appear in Canadian stores. In the meantime, I am pleased to get decent items that are cheap and of good quality here. (132)

For the longest time, I have been wanting to visit this Joe Fresh Outlet. I finally visited it on Wednesday after work. This outlet is in Woodside Power Centre. It used to be where the old Michaels store was. It then moved across the plaza where Chapters used to be before it moved to CF Markville Mall. There is always lots of parking in this plaza. I parked fairly close to the entrance and headed into the store. It was wild visiting this store that I frequented often when it was Chapters. The Starbucks area closed during the pandemic and the washrooms never re-opened. It continues to be the case with this outlet. This space is perfect for what this outlet has to offer. It's mainly clothing, shoes, and accessories for women and children. The men's section is a rack in the right back corner of the store. I liked the winter accessories. I got a pair of knitted purple mittens. I was pleased that they fit my large hands and were breathable. I have an extremely warm pair of mittens for cold weather. I wanted a pair of mittens that I could wear when it's not frigid, but would keep my hands warm. This pair was perfect. I also got a knitted hooded cowl. I like that it has a looser fit, as I have a huge melon. It has a drawstring to keep the wind away while keeping the hood on your head. I also like that it protects the neck. This place has sneakers and boots. I came close size-wise with a pair of pink sneakers. Sadly, there were a women's size 10 and I need an 11. If you have smaller feet, from a women's size 5 through 9, you'd do well here. Prices are dirt cheap. A decent tank top for women was $3. Jeans were $8 a pair. A long puffy coat was $15. It is a large store. I spent almost an hour looking at everything. There are no change rooms. It's obviously easy to try on shoes, sunglasses, gloves, and hats. For tops and sweaters, it's straightforward to try them over your clothing. I'm not sure about jeans and pants. I guess you could also slip them over your pants or shorts. Maybe come in wearing a skirt or bring a wrap? Everything is final sale. You can neither exchange, nor get a refund. So, you need to choose your items wisely and make sure that they work for you. I found it interesting that the sound system was caged. Maybe shoplifters have taken a previous version away in the past? This place has closed-circuit TV on everywhere. There are signs saying that you're on camera. Frankly, I felt that there was too much signage describing what you can't do: - No food or drink - No large bags allowed - No public washrooms - No exchanges or refunds - No pets allowed A lot of no, no, no. A lot more positivity would make shoppers enjoy shopping here without outlining a ton of restrictions. I made my way up to the checkout area, which used to be the same checkout area for Chapters. This place preserved a lot of what Chapters looked like, including the carpeting. I got a cheerful woman who asked if I needed a bag. I didn't for my two items. My items came up to $22 with tax, but I got 50% off my total. It was a grand total of $11. Such a steal for two knitted winter accessories! I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I thanked the woman and happily left with my items. It's a cool store. Considering how expensive things are these days, it's a great store to get decent items at cheap prices. The selection for women and kids is great. For men, it's slim pickings. I'd recommend shopping elsewhere if you're a guy. (396)

Shelves are truly completely filled all the time, and I find this is one of those Dollaramas that you always find what you're looking for. I honestly wish I could rate it 5 stars, but unfortunately, I can only give 3- the cashiers at this location are EXTREMELY slow, and I've noticed that they are not well-trained in general with the registers. It's very annoying because there have been time where I've waited 20+ minutes in line waiting to have my products cashed out. When I have my 15 minute break at work, I barely have any time usually to grab a quick snack at Dollarama. This is all because of these cashiers! Even when every cash aisles are open, there are still very long lines. So, my advice- If you have time to kill and you don't mind waiting in lines every once in a while, this Dollarama will usually always have what you're looking for, which is great!

It is currently the only one in downtown Toronto, with their storefront on Yonge St, north of Dundas St. The customer service was good. The interior was nicely organized.

I got to the mall early and decided to grab a few items that I needed on an early Friday evening. I like that this SDM had a lot of parking in front of the store. I nabbed a parking spot fairly close to the main entrance of the store. You have the option of getting to this store while you are in the mall. Once the mall is closed for the day, you have SDM's separate entrance to use until it closes at 10 pm. This drugstore is bright. The aisle are wide. It's great. I was immediately greeted with a ton of headphones and accessories for your phone when I first walked in through the SDM entrance. I passed by the checkout area with humans. There are also three self-checkout kiosks. I came for Lacteeze. I had no problem finding the product. I was pleased that it was available. I ended up cutting through the oral care section to get to this product. If you are looking for an electric toothbrush or replacement brush heads, they are currently on sale. I normally shop for pop on Saturdays. I didn't know that sales for it started on Fridays. I picked up some. This store had a good selection of Squishmallows. I saw small ones and huge Valentine's Day ones. There was a lot of chocolates for the occasion, too. The snack selection was terrific. I saw chips, cookies, candy, and a lot more. I used one of the self-checkout kiosks. There was a female customer at the regular checkout with a female staffer. I had no problem scanning my PC Optimum barcode from the app, scanning all my items, and then paying for everything with my credit card. I lugged everything into my car. I then headed to The Keg for dinner. I'm so glad that I stopped by. I got my errands done. It's a good drugstore. (55)

Sadly, even though the store is bigger, it still lacked a lot of the popular items as I guess the items are sold out just as quick which means there is a lot of traffic but still have a good amount of variety. I don't remember seeing self checkouts there. Perhaps it is not needed but I feel they need to add it to make the checkout faster and also not having to wait for a staff to show up to check people out. This Dollarama is conveniently located in a plaza with lots of restaurants and even a Service Ontario, and even a No Frills, at next door plaza which means can kill a few birds with one stone when needing to run many errands :) The parking lot is huge and there is sufficient parking. Transit Viva Purple is easily accessible to get there.

I used to spend a fair amount of time in this part of Markham well over a decade ago. This plaza…read morehas a Jiffy Lube that I often took my first car that I ever owned, a Pontiac Grand Am, for oil changes and more. This plaza has my local ServiceOntario, where I have posed for my driver's licence mugshot over the years. This plaza also has a Dollarama that has been here for as long as I can remember. I decided to pay it a visit last Wednesday evening. On Thursday, my department had a virtual lunch. It was my suggestion to hijack our regular weekly meeting to ban chatting about work and have lunch with the team virtually. I managed to convince my colleagues to order takeout. It worked! Being on video (I'm not a fan in general, but I'm okay sacrificing my face for lunch and chatting about non-work-related stuff for an hour), I felt that I needed a Santa hat to get into the festive spirit. I knew that I could rely on Dollarama for my needs. It did not fail. Let's talk about parking. There are lots of parking spots in this plaza. Some of them are extremely roomy, like the one that I was parked at. I swung my driver's side door wide open and had another foot between my door and the car next to me. Yay! Dollar stores are deemed essential during this pandemic and remain open. The prime reason is that they offer food and drinks. Naturally, there were a number of customers shopping when I was there. I immediately looked for the Christmas section. I found it easily! There were lots of Santa hats to choose from. There was the traditional one that I ultimately got. One had two white braids going down either side. Another had antlers. I loved the elf hat with huge ears. The problem is that it didn't accommodate my huge head. Luckily, the traditional one did for a whopping $1.25. The aisles are long in this store. They stretch from where the cashout area is at the front to the very back before you hit the employee area. So, everyone seemed to ignore the arrows on the floor in each aisle. If you were at at aisle where you saw an item, but it meant walking down another aisle and back up to take a closer look at it, most chose to ignore what you should do in favour of convenience. This store is a fascinating place to observe how humans behave. If I didn't have errands to run, I would have found a chair and watched people for a good half an hour. Between Dollarama and Dollar Tree, I like the latter more before everything is the same price. Dollarama varies its prices based on the type of item. So, is it truly a dollar store by definition? Maybe it should change its name to Dollars-rama instead. I do enjoy getting candy here. I got two white chocolate KitKat bars and they were delicious and cheap. The snacks section is pretty impressive. This store has garlic naan, which I don't often see at Dollarama. Perhaps this area has more South Asian folks that this store is being accommodative. It's cool. I lined up to pay for my items. There were two cashiers working that evening. The woman behind me was standing way too close to me. My staring at her and the marker on the floor did not do a thing. She was oblivious, as was the woman behind her standing inches away. It's not an issue with the store, but with people who don't get it. Anyway, I got a nice male cashier who helped get me on my way. My items cost me $6.66. I joked that perhaps I should get another item. He laughed. I used my debit card and all was great. I didn't need a bag and wished him a good evening as I headed to my car. It's a decent Dollarama. Other than folks not physically distancing as well as they should in the store, I'd return because the selection is perfect for my needs. (448)
