I seem to be on a Dollarama quest these days. It's more seeking a dollar store to get snacks and…read moredrinks. Dollarama stores seem to be more popular than Dollar Tree. Last Saturday, I was in Scarborough to pick up some takeout for dinner. After fetching my food, I did a search to find a dollar store and found this Dollarama across the street from where I was. Perfect! This store is in a corner of a plaza where Markham Street Station is. I found parking closer to the RBC bank and backed into a spot. I then walked over to check the store out. The merchandise is laid out similar to most Dollarama stores. You get seasonal items, which is Valentine's Day and Easter merchandise that immediately greet you. The selection was decent. Gift cards are right by the entrance. It's a trend. It doesn't work for me, though. Getting a gift card is the last thing I want to do when I'm at a dollar store. I'm getting goods for me! This store had a lot of candy. I was impressed. The selection was fabulous. I liked seeing sugar-free options. One-litre bottles of Pepsi products are indeed a dollar at this store. Most items start at $1.25. It's nice that you can still get something for a loonie. I end up getting a couple of bottles when I want pop. I tend to get either Diet Pepsi or Pepsi Zero. I like getting tissue paper at Dollarama. It does make your gift bag more festive with pretty tissue paper. It's nice and it doesn't breaking your budget. I had a competent woman at the checkout area. The store was busy when I was there at 5 pm. I paid with a debit card. Done! I liked my visit here. I'd return when I'm in the neighbourhood again. (58)

Love Dollarama! Not…read moreeverything is a dollar but prices usually don't exceed $2. Whenever I forget something in my luggage or need something in a hurry, this place saves me. It's bigger than most dollar stores I've been to. They offer bath products, toys, crafts, kitchen supplies, birthday supplies, souvenirs, candy, home decoration pieces, etc. The quality of their products are good. The aisles are quite spacious but the store can get busy, making it a bit difficult to shop. There are always plenty of cashiers on board. They are quick and friendly but the lines are still long. Overall, a great place to hit if you don't want to spend a whole lot of cash.

They have a huge selection of interior decor like fake flowers and home goods. Cons: it's literally so busy, the store is messy and stuff is all over the place. The aisle is a bit narrow it's so crowded it was so hard to move. They did set a limit for how many ppl can go in later on. There's also A LOT OF LITTER! I saw so many Tim Hortons and beverage cups in random spots. Kids were also running havoc. The electronics are sparse. Not sure about the quality. There's a lot of furnitures too like bed frames! I saw some trolley for $15 which is a good deal! Service is nonexistent, there is someone watching and directing the cashier lines (don't worry bout someone budding you)

The store has taken over the entire space Rona used to be, making it incredibly large. With slight exaggeration, you could get 10k steps in just looking around. There are a wide variety of goods being offered, and the prices are often even cheaper than Dollarama (though some stuff is kinda overpriced in comparison, like $30 kitchen shelves?) so I guess they win some lose some. I found some really good deals for plates, kitchenware, hair accessories, stationary, and foam rollers. Since the place is so big, it's hard to find a worker, and even if you find someone, they likely will not know the answer. It's okay though... explore away!

Something to know is that the parking space is really tiny. There are only two rows of parking space in front of the building and on the side of the building.

This Walmart Supercentre is a five-minute drive from Malvern Mall (Town Centre) in the Malvern area of Scarborough. I flagged visiting this store after picking up some takeout from Tahini's across from it. I decided to check it out a couple of Saturdays ago. This store had a decent wave of customers, but it wasn't as crazy as the one in Richmond Hill at Highway 7 and Bayview. This one had a relaxed vibe, which I appreciated. You do need a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. I had one, thankfully. I needed the cart for my grocery haul. There was a promotion in the prepared foods section. I loved looking at the smoothies and bubble tea. The meals, such as the sweet and sour chicken with noodles, looked yummy. I like that this Walmart carries Al Premium products. All the meals, like BBQ chicken legs and BBQ pork on rice, are from Al Premium. I should shop at Al Premium one of these days. I feel like I have when I hit Walmart. The produce and fruit looked fresh and healthy. The dragon fruit looked especially yummy. I ended up getting peaches, green apples, and strawberries. I also got celery, an avocado, and lemons. I got ground beef. I could choose from value packs or get some in atubes. This store has a decent selection of yogurt. It had Activia in lactose-free vanilla and Silk key lime yogurt varieties that I love. It looked like there was a Silk sale on cashew and coconut beverage. I got a couple of cartons. The aisles at this store are exceptionally wide. It's nice having a ton of space to move around, especially with a shopping cart. I liked the cleaning supply section. It had everything that I needed. Although it's too early to be thinking about a puffy jacket, I saw some at this store by the cleanest, brightest change room. The price was decent. The plant section was also impressive. I liked seeing hanging plants and healthy leaves on potted ones. Like the Walmart in Box Grove, this one seems to close off the self-checkout kiosks. This store seems to want to you check out with a human. I don't mind it at all. I got a friendly woman at the checkout. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I bagged all my groceries and headed to my car. I got my quarter back from the cart. It was a good grocery shopping experience. I seem to be an anomaly with my review. I'm not sure why there are so many one-star reviews. It's a decent store with a supermarket. I prefer it over the Richmond Hill one for sure. (337)

This the worst Walmart ever and the manager Steve U needs to work on stock and scheduling at…read morecustomer service. I waited 30 minutes in a line up at 1:30 pm on Thursday. I understand that this is a busy day as the new flyer is posted on Thursday. So the schedule should be reflected in availability of staff on the service counter. When I arrived there was 6 people ahead of me. One lady had to leave because she couldn't stand anymore. No one called for assistance at the service desk. As I was leaving the store I heard over the public announcement a request for assistance at the customer service "two little too late!!! The second reason for my bad review is the lack of stock documented in the flyer on the first day! What is wrong with this location it is constantly poorly stocked for quite some time. I recommend going to Pickering it is more efficient and better stocked.

I dropped by Fusion Supermarket to get to Tagpuan. What?…read more I had placed a Too Good to Go order from Tagpuan. I then realized when I got here that it was inside Fusion Supermarket. Perfect! I needed to pick up a few grocery items. I could kill two birds with one stone. Aside: I've heard that this saying angers animal activists and I should say, "Mash two potatoes with a fork." But, wouldn't veggie activists be upset now? I had no problem finding this supermarket. It was brightly lit when the sun was set at around 6 pm on a Tuesday night. I found a parking spot relatively close to the main entrance and backed my car in. I then walked into the supermarket. I love visiting a new supermarket. I always feel comfortable in one, no matter where I am. I felt the same thing here. The produce section was amazing. It was vast and looked impeccable. I picked up celery that was flawless and wrapped in plastic wrap. I also got a huge avocado. I found Tagpuan straight ahead when I walked into the store. It's a great addition to a Filipino supermarket. The seafood section is impressive. There were huge tanks of fish. There was so much to look at, from pear mango drinks, to huge jackfruit. I didn't walk the entire supermarket, but I want to return to do just that. I was hungry, so I fetched my dinner and a few groceries before checking out. I had a friendly woman at the cashout area. My items were less than $10. I was paying with a debit card, which meant that a 25-cent charge was added to my grocery total. I was good with it. I don't carry cash during a pandemic and it was such a negligible cost. The woman bagged my items. I thanked her and left with my dinner and groceries. I enjoyed coming here. I'll need to check out the chicharron and snacks next time. I have a feeling that the selection is pretty good, judging from how the produce section looked and was. (74)

Fusion has a minimum of $40 for free delivery within 30 kms! And any online shopping done before 3 p.m. can be delivered the same day. Now, how is that for service and efficiency? If the requested item is not available, they will call you for substitution or cancellation of the item. As far as pricing goes, it has reasonable mark ups, in my opinion. And for speedy and quality of product, I will continue to order from Fusion for all my Asian grocery needs.

Wow. This has to be the worst of the worst in Walmart's…read more No baskets for shoppers. Supposedly , they were stolen over a year ago and now they won't replace them.​​ Over HALF the self checkouts are never working or shut down...all the time. Now they shut those down after 9pm and funnel everyone into four lanes , without an express lane. Took me 4 minutes to find the three items I needed and 15 minutes to pay for it. Shelves are barely stocked, no product consistency. Produce turns within a day of buying it. Parking lot has been under construction now for what...two years? Lastly, don't think everyone didn't notice your 23% price hike on the frozen finger foods a few days before New Years. Turns out every other grocery chain had them on sale so we left yours right on the shelf. I short, I would rather drive to any other Walmart than continuing to poor my money into this dumpster fire.

This store is huge and you should find what you're looking for by paying attention to the overhead signs between the aisles.

Checkout was quick although nobody actually got a thank you from the cashier after the sale; we're talking about 5 different customers including me. Minus 1 star!!
