Really enjoyed finding this gem. They carry lots of great local and hand crafted items in addition…read moreto some more brand name items you might find in many kitchen or gift shops. There is a small room with books that seemed to offer some unique options as well. They have an amazing restaurant on the top floor which I had no idea was there but now am a regular at. 100% recommend the food here! Only thing is that it's a bit expensive for some items, though most of the hand crafted stuff that interested me primarily was pretty fairly priced.

You can get fossilized shark teeth, quartz, jade, pictures stone and SO much more. The staff is super helpful and just about as excited about talking about rocks as you are to buy them. The prices are a lot lower than I had expected and we came out with so many more rocks that I had intended.

The labour board needs to investigate this place. They have an unprecedented turnover rate and will…read morefire you with no notice right before the holidays as they've done with entire departments before, but they'll be sure to inform your entire team before you are even made aware. On the "road," you only get breaks if there's time, despite standing for 12 hours straight. They will make you re-sign a part time contract despite promising you full time and benefits. A coworker of mine worked 50+ hour weeks without a raise or a full time contract. Workload is massive and unfair for $16/hr. They mostly hire young people that they can manipulate easily, especially for the shows. When 8 people phone in sick after teardown, there is obviously a core problem in the company but you just laughed. The owners create an extremely suppressive environment. They gaslight, victim blame, lie, gossip, lovebomb, micromanage, avoid reflection, and never take accountability. There is no diversity, safety or trust, but there is a constant fear of retribution. It makes you wonder why there's no HR department. They use fear as motivation as the rules only exist to keep us in line. They are microaggressive and expect workaholic behaviour but provide no opportunities of forward movement. There is immense leadership gossip and favouritism. Regular employees are not allowed boundaries. The owners are malicious and secretive. They insist on silence as employees are on a need to know basis. We are not to discuss wages, hour cuts, contracts, and/or red flags or we will be punished. They gossip about former employees and even harassed one and used it to blackmail them. They lie about pricing and overcharge people and expect us not to tell them, and they create fake sales for profit. They lie about unethical sourcing to customers and employees. They undermine serious health hazards on a daily basis. One coworkers hours were cut to one day a week after she claimed WCB when a product fell on her head causing a concussion, and another coworker got blood poisoning from their failure to explain the risks of lead-based minerals. The owners spend the majority of their time managing their ego over their vision, and personal interest always comes before collective good. They told us the store was losing money so they had to pay us out of their savings, but can afford to buy a house and a boat on Vancouver Island and a helicopter. They intentionally use unclear communication to cover their own disorganization and to place the blame elsewhere. These people need their business license revoked for abusing their entire workforce. Even the customers are beginning to notice their arrogance and disrespect whenever they meet them. I am truly disgusted with this company's practices and will rejoice when they are finally closed indefinitely.

As they lived out of town they were not able to be at the store within 14 days to exchange it for another color. It was 3 months and the product was still new inventory. It had not been discontinued and was currently stocked. It was reutned in original bag and with receipt. They would not give a store credit, or even exchange for a different color. The client did have additional products at the register that they were going to purchase but decided against this due to the behavior of the staff and the return policy. Please be aware as I have had clients with issues with this store before.

I had some very basic questions about a gift I was coming in to purchase and felt like I was an inconvenience. I took my business elsewhere and my friend loved her gift I purchased at Home Sense.

Normally I would prefer to support local businesses over chains, but ONLY if the SERVICE is there and it was NOT.

And some big name designer brands, which of course is important to those who are looking for that sort of thing. I was looking for specific items, and not only did I get what I wanted, but I got the advice needed for anything else that came up each time I went in there. And most recently, I had a question about a bulb (not a cheap one) on a fixture that kept having to be replaced. Without me saying anything about a lack of satisfaction, seeing as I knew it was nothing they did wrong, they replaced the bulb free of charge. That is going over and above the call of duty in my eyes. They also suggested a good troubleshooting strategy. Can't wait to get more reno's done!
