They've got makeup, skincare, household goods, kitchenware, snacks, & hardware. Highly recommend checking the store out!!

I've seen some of the exact same plates at other stores for maybe 30% higher price Cups and plates are my personal go to, but they have everything from soys sauce dishes to modern coffee mugs to matcha ceremony bowls. Styles are far ranging and include cute and elegant, modern and traditional styles, and they carry lots of different sizes so you are likely to find something to suit your taste. I personally only buy dishwasher safe / microwaveable ceramics (so I actually use them) and a lot of the stock they have fits that criteria. The rest of the store is a whole labyrinth of home goods like beauty, kitchen tools, home organization, snacks, and craft goods. Again some rare finds exist, so it is well worth a look. I personally bought calligraphy stuff that was cheaper and more convenient here than buying it online, and they had related supplies like writing pads, practice paper, etc. The Japanese trinket/souvenir section stands out to me because you can get things that are rare to chance upon elsewhere. The ceramic darumas are well priced, and I've bought other cute traditional figurines there. Overall there's a lot to see in this store, to the point where it feels overwhelming to browse all sections. I keep my visits targeted and short so I don't wear myself out looking at 200 pairs of similar looking chopsticks. Also, sometimes the prices in this store are questionable, but I browse knowing overall it's fair (case in point for weird pricing - tiny plate $2, significantly larger medium size plate for $2.25). I don't live close by so I come around whenever I'm in the area.

Marshalls itself is okay but there's an employee here named 'Elena' who might be the 'manager', a…read moremiddle-aged, overweight, Caucasian female, who was making a dirty judgmental face while I was requesting a cashier to give me a bit of a discount on a clearly scratched up product. 'Elena', an employee who lives on minimum wage, was too miserly to offer any discount and straight out rudely denied me with silly, invalided excuses. I've never had an employee refuse a discount at winners/marshalls/homesense for a product that clearly has some form of wear or damage, but that nasty-faced woman couldn't follow store policy. I went to winners across the mall and a normal caucasian male employee with a professional attitude immediately offered me a valid discount when he saw the scratches on the product. Regardless, I returned the product entirely. P.S. I am frankly bewildered as to where these workers on pennies get attitudes from and the audacity to be openly inappropriate in front of customers. They aren't the owners of the stores, they sweep floors and stock shelves. It might be because I'm too dignified of a paying customer, perhaps I should start treating these cashiers the way other customers treat them instead of being friendly and polite, since that's not being returned. It seems there's a pattern of cashiers targeting young females in particular, rather than older women, or men of any age, regardless of the cashier's own age and gender, although most male employees in retail have been courteous. In particular, middle-aged and older caucasian females seem to have problems whether they are customers or cashiers. Odd.

This Marshalls store used to be on the southeast corner of McCowan and Bullock Drive. It was by the…read moreCIBC branch. Marshalls has since moved into CF Markville Mall, on the lower level, in the food court. Its positioning is interesting. I was there a couple of times recently to grab a quick bite to eat at the food court. Lo and behold, this bright store kept calling me to go in. Yes, Mary, there are snacks and kitchen gadgets waiting for you. Come get 'em! Naturally, my hunger had to be attended to first. I can't shop hangry. I'd be banned for life. I went in the store afterwards. It's clean and bright. There are lots of pretty shoes. The clothing section was impeccably organized. Although I am more of a Winners person, its sister store is growing on me. I spent the most time in the kitchen accessories and snack sections. Surprised? Probably not... haha! I got a bag of beet chips. I like snacks here because I have never see or had them before. I also have a weakness for kitchen gadgets. No, I don't need another spiralizer, but I do enjoy looking at what is out here in the market. I like everything from cheaper Le Creuset baking dishes, to making soft-boiled and fried eggs with creativity. I browsed the handbags section. When Marshalls was across the street, I spotted a couple of Kipling handbags. Perhaps it was the luck of the draw, but I didn't see a single one on my most recent trip here. I had a friendly woman cash me out. I paid for my beet chips with a debit card and had my TJX Rewards card scanned. Easy peasy! I left the store happy with my bag of happiness. I'd come back here again to see if there are some Kipling bags and deals. (35)

Although she was upfront with us from the get go that it would be hard to win anything with just 5 tokens, she delivered this message in a rude manner because she told us to leave if we thought that we could even win something with that amount of 5 tokens. To be honest, we didn't expect to win anything. We only wanted to have a fun experience of trying out some claw machines. Also, we didn't realize that the minimum purchase had to be 5 tokens and when we asked to buy 4 tokens, this employee gave us a look as if we had difficulty reading the instructions. To be honest, when you're inside a store with many claw machines, your eyes won't be focusing on reading text. Your eyes will be starring at the many cute stuffed toys. Our last attempt was for a claw machine where we were not familiar with its usage and when we asked the employee how to play that claw machine, her response was that that particular claw machine was super hard and that many customers spent more than 100 tokens and still couldn't get the stuffed animal. While we appreciated this honesty, we were interested in knowing how the machine worked and we had to repeat 3 times in total for the employee to give us a "Why-should-I-even-bother-to-show-you?" look and reluctantly grabbed a token to show us how to play that game.

I've crawled out of the reviewing blockade to make a review for this place because they deserve it…read more Hard to locate, they are situated in the Langham Square plaza but not accessible inside where T and T is. You have to go through the building to outside on the street facing towards Kennedy (where Alice Cafe is), take a left when you exit the door and it's almost the last store, or alternatively you can find it down through the parking lot. I found the Kennedy entrance much easier to find the place, we took the parking lot way going back and got lost trying to get back to our car. They have lots of claw machines ready to go, filled with many CUTE toys; unlike other places that have trash low quality items. Almost every toy was bleeping cute. I want the Kermit with the supreme shirt next. Or the Pikachu dressed as a charmander. I went with rilakumma this time. On one side it is $1 per play, and the other side was cut the rope and $2 per play. Biggest bang for your buck is the $1 per play but the prizes on the other side are definitely cool too. Customer service was hilariously great. The girl set up the toys every time to help you win. Literally. The game is harder than you think and about $5 in with no toys she made it increasingly easier cause WE SUCK. We were super happy when we finally got the toy I wanted (rilakumma) and I super enjoyed the experience. It's a great place for children or dates (but you'll probably only spend about 10-15 min here max unless you want all the toys or spend your money). It's still a good cap-off if you're already in the plaza. All in all, spent $9 ($4 went to the $2 per play game which is much harder). The toy I got and the experience is definitely worth it. Check it out!

These days, it's deadly whenever I enter one. It has Squishmallows. Sure enough, I walked in and Squishmallows were on my right. I was in heaven seeing Squishmallows slippers in adult sizes. This store has a lot of candy and snacks. I was thrilled to see Harry and David moose munch with M&M's. However, the box was so small that I'd need to grab all of them for a decent snack. This store has freeze-dried fruit. There were samples at the checkout counter. I had the banana while I waited for a staff member to come over. It was yummy. If you like Sanrio products, this store is for you. I saw a lot of My Melody plushies. There was also a Hello Kitty purse that was so cute. If you are looking at clearance items, they are in a small section by the checkout. Some discounts are excellent. I got a Keroppi plushie that was $10 off. I had to get him. The LED products were pretty and awesome, and pretty awesome. I liked everything from a shimmery candle, to a snowflake. So nice! I had the nicest woman at the checkout. She asked for my phone number to pull up my rewards. She found me. Yay! i paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. She wished me a great evening. I reciprocated and headed out with my purchase. I am happy with my Keroppi plushie. I'm so glad that i don't come here often. I'd be so broke, but I love this store. (484)

I also picked up some padding to stick in the bottom of my laptop to prevent overheating. I found some useful large S hooks that can fit my balcony railings and dividers to hang more plants. They have kitchen tools, bathroom gadgets, storage, pots, hangers, beauty tools, you name it, they have it. Always worthwhile to check out when you're at PMall. Note, I'm not sure if it's due to the fire, but the escalators at Pmall are not functioning, so you have to use the service elevators the past weekend to go up and down the mall.
