This Winners is in the Stafford Centre in Bells Corners (which is a plaza and not an enclosed…read moreshopping centre). Selection is similar to other Winners, but I tend to have more luck at this location than others. They seem to have lots of small sizes. Their jewelery counter is also good with lots of unique pieces. Since it's in the suburbs, it doesn't feel cramped like those "urban concept" stores (e.g. Queen/Sparks location and Lansdowne Park location). There's lots of free parking in the plaza. It's in the same plaza as a Shoppers Drug Mart, Metro, Mark's, The Butchery, and Kardish. If you're hungry there's also a Quiznos (one of the few left in the city), a Shawarma place, The Butchery/Vera's Burger Shack, and a Starbucks. Or if you're feeling for a sit down restaurant, there's Lapointes too.

I decided to get it, for it was a unicorn, and I see it being practical to wear around your waist or a sling bag. It's also different. I spent some time in the shoe section. I got a pair of Converse sneakers. The price was right and I do not have a pair of black ones. It was a pleasant surprise to find a good selection of calligraphy pens. I went with the old-school pen with interchangeable nibs that you need to dip into ink. I have the urge to get back into calligraphy. I now need to get some ink. The man at the checkout area was great. He scanned my TJX Style card, rang up my total, helped me get the transaction processed, and bagged my items. He was competent and polite. There was plenty of parking in front of the store at around 7 pm. I like the selection of items at this Winners. (217)

The Short Version: Store selling brand names at lower…read moreprices. Mostly overstock or items that didn't sell well. This location is in the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre. The Long Version: I love Winners. It's a store under the TJX banner which includes Marshalls and Homesense (and TJ Maxx and HomeGoods in the USA). I love that it's a new store every week with different merchandise always coming in. They sell clothing, shoes, accessories, housewares, toys and shelf-stable foods at discount prices. This location is in theBillings Bridge Shopping Centre and just opened up in July 2026. It's a bit smaller than other locations and has less selection but it's still a Winners so gets 4 stars from me, lol. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this location but if I'm already in the area, I would drop by. They have an entrance from inside the mall, but the also have an external entrance from the parking lot. They have all the sections that other stores have (jewelery, travel, women's, men's, children's, toys, cosmetics, skincare, haircare, housewares, food, etc.) but each section is really small. Still, I'm always happy to have more Winners and Marshalls locations as these are my favourite stores to poke around. Lots of free parking available in the mall parking lot. Review #118 (2026)

So though I searched several other stores to find the perfect dress for my cousin's wedding, I ended up at this tried and true store. I walked into the store and saw the perfect dress, but it was a pricy one. I decided to look around. Located in the Carlingwood Mall, this location is about the size of most of their stores, and it was tidy and clean with lots of great deals. What really sets this location apart from any other Le Chateau I've ever visited is the staff. I was greeted by a wonderful employee who instantly seemed more like a friend than a salesperson. She was so helpful, finding me heels to try the dresses on with and giving me tons of encouragement and praise. One of my biggest pet peeves while shopping retail is staff who whine or complain about their jobs, or talk about how they can't wait to leave. These ladies were pumped! Despite the fact that I was there about 15 minutes before closing, they patiently waited and even helped me find a cute shrug to go with my dress without making me feel like I was holding them up. I'm absolutely going to back to shop here. I noticed some more casual clothing and I think I need to stop thinking of it as a "special occasion store." Plus, I love shopping where people actually take pleasure in their jobs. I also love that a lot of their clothing is made in Canada!

On December 31 2018, I purchased a dress and a clutch last minute for a New Years party. As I also…read morework retail, I verified with the employee assisting me that both items could be returned (I was going to a very posh party and I wasn't sure the outfit would suit the atmosphere). A couple days later I came to return the item and the associate (a skinny white male) who had originally served me, along with another associate maintained that they could not offer me a full refund for the clutch and I settled on a giftcard instead. This was not a pleasant experience and I do believe they should have owned up to their mistake from the get go and offered me a full refund as was originally claimed. Now, months later, the giftcard they provided ends up being EMPTY. I am beyond furious. Avoid the Rideau GUESS and its incompetent employees if you want to save yourself a lot of trouble.

This is one of two Winners in Gatineau (the other one is not too far away on du Plateau). I would…read moresay that they are both fairly similar. They are both in plazas with other stores to shop at nearby. This one on de la Gappe is not connected to a Homesense though, like the one on du Plateau is. My most recent visit was during the Covid-19 Pandemic and I like how they had signage to remind people to stay 2 metres apart. Aisles were widened to facilitate this, and staff were abiding my guidelines and were wearing masks. Inventory was sparse, but this is the case with most stores during the Pandemic. Under normal conditions, inventory is usually good. This Winners isn't in my usual circuit because it's in Gatineau, but I like to come once in a while to see what's new. They have some items that are different than the stores in Ottawa. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot.

I enjoy visiting Winners and not having anything that I truly need to buy. That's what happened when I stopped by this store. I found a bottle of Seche Vite, but it was the gel-like top coat version that I have never tried before. I do my nails and like a fast-drying top coat. As luck would have it, I was in the purse section and saw a purple Kipling purse that was both compact and on sale. $10 off the regular price?! Yes, it's mine! I was so pleased with this purchase. It's not every day when you snatch the perfect small purse for $25. This Winners, in particular, has the most extensive selection of records (vinyl for those who didn't grow up with a record player) that I have ever seen. I was impressed and spent some time flipping through all the titles. The gourmet food section is great. I found vegan candy, lots of tea varieties, and more. The checkout line seemed long, but it moved quickly. I purchased my fine items and left happy. (232)

I love Winners, and always find at least ONE thing to bring home. I usually stop by this location…read moreonce a week. Unfortunately, every time I have been stopping by, the shelves have been sparse, and almost empty, with the same products sitting on the shelves week after week. The turnover on the products have not been great at all. I love how they have a jewelry counter, but its always difficult to get merchandise shown to you because the one staff working that counter is always swamped, or with another customer. Sometimes you have to wait around 5+ minutes to see something. I usually give up and walk away and return when the customers have left the counter. The juniors section has had the same clothes sitting on the racks for the last few weeks. I am guessing the reason is because it is between seasons. I have rarely had a problem with customer service, although recently the cashier charged me twice for a shirt, but that was because we were having so much fun chatting about leg warmers. :) I noticed on my receipt when I got home about the double charge, and called the store and was told that I just need to bring in my receipt and it will all be taken care of. The hubby did so for me the next day, and the cashier tried to put up a fight, but it was all taken care of in the end. The line ups at the checkout are not too bad during the week, but you can be waiting in line for a while during the weekend. Although I prefer the Bayshore Winners, this location is a quick fix for me, and sometimes I find some really great finds here.
