While the clerk didn't speak a lot of English, I was able to use my limited French enough to be led to the correct aisle for men's flip flops. Had forgotten mine at home and would need them for the swimming pool where we were going. What luck! They had only 1 pair in of any size stock,... and they were my size, (i.e., Men's 40 European,) and cost only $5 Canadian, excluding tax! After checking out, realized maybe I should also see what they had in terms of wrapping paper for several gifts I was giving out during my trip. What a spectacular selection and price! Chose two different celebratory tissue papers and one colorful cello wrap! And they together cost $4 Canadian, excluding tax! Perfect! In fact, this experience made me think that, given people just throw out the gift's wrapping paper, I'm only buying it dollar stores in the future, especially if you get a deal like this! Thank you, Dollarama, for being a great resource, especially while I was on the road! Recommend you check it out!

This Dollarama was just a block from my AirBnB, so I decided to go in and make some value…read morepurchases....The store is very well lit, clean and neatly organized. Dollarama is a Canadian dollar store retail chain headquartered in Montreal. Since 2009 it is Canada's largest retailer of items for five dollars or less. Dollarama has over 1400 stores and has a presence in every province of Canada; Ontario has the most stores. If I compare to the US stores, I would say it's like a Dollar General or Family Dollar, where most things are less than $5. But it's not like a Dollar Tree, where everything is $1.25 or less. This particular store is in the Pointe St Charles section of Montreal, steps from the Charlevoix metro station. A bit of history on the Dollarama store chain...The first all-dollar store was founded in Montreal in 1910 by Salim Rassy, a Lebanese immigrant, whose name became Rossy. His son George took over the retailer in 1937 and led the company until his death in 1973 when grandson Larry Rossy assumed leadership of it when it had 20 stores. The discount retailer grew to 44 stores by 1992 which until then operated under the name Rossy S Inc. (not to be confused with Rossy Michael, a similar chain founded in 1949 by another son of Salim Rassy. That year, Larry Rossy opened the first Dollarama at the shopping centre "Les promenades du St-Laurent" in Matane. By the late 1990s, Dollarama had become by far the primary source of revenue for the Rossy family. As such, the Rossy S chain was discontinued by the turn of the new millennium, with all of its stores either closed or converted into Dollarama locations. After converting all the locations to the dollar store concept, The number of stores in October 2021 was 539 in Ontario, 379 in Québec, 134 in Alberta, 111 in British Columbia, 42 in New Brunswick, 41 in Manitoba, 40 in Nova Scotia, 40 in Saskatchewan, 25 in Newfoundland and Labrador, and 5 in Prince Edward Island. The company announced that it would open 700 new locations across Canada (including a few replacements for some of the Great Canadian Dollar Store locations) in the aforementioned provinces as well as their first store in the Yukon Territory.

I ended up finding some really great deals, including a pair of work slides for my boyfriend and a cute planter for one of my plants.

The prices were good, the store was easy to shop, and I left feeling like I got some solid bargains. If you're looking for affordable household items, seasonal finds, or just enjoy treasure hunting, definitely check it out. Short, sweet, and honest exactly the kind of review people actually read.

I especially love this location because Place Alexis Nihon also has a Winners, so one stop for 2 of my favourite stores. Truth be told, the Winners and Marshalls here are pretty indistinguishable from each other, lol. Brand names at a discount, what's not to love? I especially like their cosmetics/skincare. I often find brands sold at Sephora for a fraction of the cost. Just beware that the mascaras are sometimes dried up, but I've had good luck with all other make up items. I haven't had much luck with shoes here (ladies size 5 foot here, so not too surprising), and clothes are hit or miss. However, I still love the hunt ;) Review #19 (2025)

This is the ultimate store for the most obscure items you might ever need! They have supplies for…read moreevery occasion at the fraction of the price you'd pay at Walmart or Amazon. School supplies, bachelorette party, baby shower, engagement party, house party, BBQs, Christmas decorations, home improvement, cleaning supplies, car accessories, baking and cooking supplies, knitting, sowing, craft and art supplies, and so much more. One of the things that sets them apart from other dollarstore's is their large collection of balloons and their ability to blow them up with helium. Each helium balloon costs $0.50, you can call ahead to have them blown up and just come pick them up. On weekends there is usually a line up for the helium so if you need a lot of balloons best to call ahead. You can buy your own balloons elsewhere but if a balloon pops while it's being filled with helium, Forêt will not replace it so best to purchase their balloons. Forêt guarantees that their balloons are helium certified. Forêt is also a family run business. The owners speak English and French. A review below mentioned that personnel didn't speak English but I've been coming here for years and never had a problem. The store is very busy, the best way to get service is ask at the cash which isle a specific item is located in. Forêt is such a gem, the south shore is lucky to have it!
