And the selection of toys! Incredible! My daughter was in heaven! Tons of sensory stuff - slime, squishies, glitter wands, a massive selection of Nee-Doh, etc etc. They also sell Schleich figurines, bunch of kits/sets for science, magic, gems, etc, and other "regular" toys. We mainly stayed in the toy section, so we didn't venture over to the hobby side, but it looked like there was tons of stuff. Place was clean and well organized. Ample free parking in the lot outside.

I am a huge fan of Japanese stationary and pens, and there is a very large selection here. There are also housewares, toys, origami paper, and much more. The staff person proudly showed me around and explained the background of a number of products. I will definitely be back!

This Japanese department store is one of a kind in Edmonton, and the staff person I spoke with,…read moresaid possibly in Canada. They recently opened and are located in a strip mall in the West End just off of Stony Plain Road. On a Saturday afternoon, it was quiet in the store and I was able to learn more about the product from the staff person working. All the products are made in Japan and are typically used in daily life of Japanese people. It would also be great for those who visited or lived there and might be looking for the products. There are different sections within the store. On the left near the front are the housewares including great cups that look like cupcakes. Near the entrance there's a table full of colourful cloths which could be used as tablecloths, framed as art, or hung as a banner. Towards the back, there are coasters, printed toilet paper, small gym bags for a water bottle and towel, and there's an assortment of pens and highlighters. They have eraser on them! What a great idea and I picked one up to use when I write cards and make a mistake. Along the back wall are purses and bags, sandal socks (love the sushi ones), sandals, and kimonos. By the right wall are items for decorating the home including paper art that seems delicate but when water is added, they can be stuck on windows and reused! The store also carries earrings, masking tape, stationary including notebooks, medicine bags that I'll use to carry my jewelry when I travel, make up bags, coin purses, stamps, and stickers. I really enjoyed learning about the products from the staff, and picked up a gift and cool items for me too!

The store is located at Town Center mall and when I first looked around I thought why they would…read morename it the Mad Hatter's. They sell such a random assortment of things like brooms, umbrellas, carpets, pictures, magic accessories. It really made no sense. The store is not a store you crave to go to but it is something you can browse around if you stumble onto it and then you might find something neat. As I was leaving I realized it must be called Mad Hatter's superstore because it is thrown together in a rather crazy way like the character.

The Mad Hatter's Superstore might seem like it's just a magic store from the outside, but they sell…read morea whole bunch of accessories. I stumbled across this store when I was looking for a new umbrella. I didn't think they had one, but to my surprise there were a bunch of umbrellas sitting right there...for only $5! These were pretty decent, although somewhat small umbrellas, so for $5 I wasn't complaining. They have a whole bunch of magic accessories if that's what your looking for. Juggling scarves, gags, that kind of thing. So if you're in South Edmonton and need a magic store, I guess this is your place. Everything was very cheap, too.

What a gorgeous store. I drive past often and today stopped at the dentists on the same street…read more Even though I had a numb mouth after the dentist and was talking with a lisp, I just had to take a peek. The lady who owned the store was chatting away showing off new items in the clothing boutique at the back of the room. She was lovely and very approachable. I needed up buying a top and necklace for my mother in law. The fashion is really nice and aimed at ladies in their 40s+ I would say. I was into plenty of it, as they have a really nice on trend rack. The home wares are fun interior decor items inc paintings, ornaments, furniture, vases and mirrors. I have my eye on a cactus cookie jar. They were in the middle of taking down all their Christmas stuff so can't wait to see what stock they put in it's place.

Visited this store today and I am glad I did! The store…read morecaters mostly to A Rustic/Farm House look. Many items are very appealing and would look great in a variety of different rooms within a home. Not only are there Decor items, the store also carries Clothing, Jewelry, and a variety of Handbags as well. I had no idea this store existed until I looked on Yelp and realized that I drive by this store on the way to work every day. So glad I stopped in. Worth a look!

I came here to buy a pair of mukluks because I walk a lot, all through winter. My sister said the…read moremukluks are great and told me she got them at Shoe Warehouse. Tuesday evening. Around 7. Walk into the store. It wasn't overly busy, but there were a few people in the store. I looked around, and found what I wanted to try on. There was no sales associates whatsoever in the vicinity of that I could see. Only the one person at the till that was helping people. I waited around for 15 minutes. Tried on what I wanted. Looked around for an associate, still nothing. Until I heard "oh I'll be a few more minutes". There was one person working on the floor. He had been there longer than I had. Frustrated, I left. This isn't the first time I have had horrible service here. It's been consistently bad for years.

I'm not much of a fan of the Shoe Warehouse…read more From the way it 's presented you would think that they would have low prices on shoes. Turns out the shoes aren't that great, nor are they at low prices. None of the shoes here are currently in fashion, the store's selection always feels like it's about 2 or 3 years late. You won't find shoes here that you would see in somewhere like Aldo, Browns, or Town Shoes. The sales are really only about $10 off, maybe $20 if you're lucky. I only speak for the men's section though, the women's section could be a whole different ball game. The women's section is at least three times as big as the men's, so I'm sure they'll have more fun shopping here.

They are the largest antique store in Western Canada, and so there is a lot to see here. From vintage license plates to toys to furniture to everything in between (and then some). I like coming here just to browse and see what they have. The Old Strathcona Antique Mall is filled with different antique/vintage vendors so trying to hunt down a particular item can be hard, and might be in more than one spot. That said I've been on the hunt for vintage travel postcards from specific destinations I've visited (and there's a particular style I want). Postcards are in several different spots so when I come here I try to go through them all. I've done pretty well on my mission, but there are still some destinations I don't have. Oh no that means I have to go back to The Old Strathcona Antique Mall, probably pretty soon.

Not just your usual dollar store, there were good buys to be found here! They have a great card…read moreselection including kids cards with licensed characters for $1.25. Great for fans of Disney, Scooby Doo, and super heroes! You can also get a foil balloon with helium for $1.25! Wow, that sounds like a great deal to me and you can call to order in advance. The selection is primarily for kids, and unfortunately no Dora but Minnie would do. The items I got were $1.25 and a chocolate bar for 79 cents. There was no line up and the cashier was friendly! Also, it was clean and pretty organized. Definitely a dollar store to shop at again!

I've been to a few Dollar Trees around the city, so you can take this as a review for the chain in…read moregeneral since they're all very similar :) I'm a big fan of Dollar Tree. I find that compared to certain other dollar stores, this one has actually fairly nice stuff. I bought some plastic dinosaurs there to be used as wedding decorations, and they're actually fairly realistic and stand nicely. Their craft section is a bit small (which is expected given that they're not a dedicated craft store) but they have a fair bit of stuff, and it's easily comparable to what you'd find at places like Michael's. I was impressed by that :) They also have some rather nice stationery & cards. Also, they do bulk orders as well, which is pretty cool (I didn't end up needing to do this cos it turns out they actually had 20+ bags of craft moss on hand, but I did call to ask in advance & they do it for people). So yep, Dollar Tree is definitely my favourite dollar store :)

Everything here is made in Canada, and yes... everything here is gorgeous…read more Made in Canada is a wonderful source for any type of gift or household item you may need, be it jewelry, pottery, serving dishes, glassware, textile goods, etc. They have "Going Out of Business" signs all over, and when I chatted with the owner he said that over 25 years in business was enough, he was packing it in and looking forward to retirement. There are some deep discounts available, so you had better hustle over there ASAP.

I was greeted right as I was coming in the door and enjoyed a brief discussion with the owner about the weather and the Fringe festival before scoping out the items he has for sale. The store is absolutely brimming with the most beautiful art,gift ware,and jewelry all of which is created by fellow Canadians. I picked out a gorgeous pair of really detailed seahorse earrings made in Victoria for $29.00. Admittedly the prices are a bit high on certain things but if your concerned with getting quality goods as well as shopping locally from a store that really values your business I think it is worth it here. I will definitely be back and if you make alot of trips to our downtown core I sincerely hope you will pay Made In Canada a visit as well.

My mother recently passed and I was looking for a good place to donate her items. I wanted to…read moredonate to a Women's Shelter or to Ukrainian refugees but I didn't have what they wanted/needed. You see, my mother liked to collect pretty things, and my family doesn't have the space for all her salt and pepper shakers, Christmas decorations, eagles, owls, wolves, chefs, dishes, etc., etc. But I didn't want to just shove them off to just anywhere. I wanted it to mean something. Thankfully, I can do that here. I came to the MCC on the recommendation of a friend who volunteers with the Yeg Water Warriors. She told me that MCC helps YWW as many other organizations in the community and beyond. I Googled them and found that it was even better than I'd been told. I can breathe a sigh of relief that the sale of my mother's beautiful things will go to good causes, as she would have wanted. Staff was excellent and helpful. We checked the store out before we left, and found it to be clean and organized. We bought candles and a jacket. I'm going to be back after I declutter my house to bring them more, because I support what they do. I think I'll buy some of that coffee too. Thanks everyone at MCC for making me feel better about giving away my Mom's beautiful, but space consuming things.
