Black Friday at Walmart [Richmond, BC Canada]…read more We had a little bit of time to spare before returning to the U.S. so we checked out their Walmart Supercentre in Canada looking for souvenirs. This Walmart in Central at Garden City is 2-stories high. The lower level is where you will find clothing, health and beauty, baby items, pharmacy and grocery... while the upper level has entertainment, home, toys and seasonal items. Christmas is approaching so lots of holiday merch. We usually find some souvenirs in a Walmart like in Orlando (lots of Disney stuff), Alaska, Hawaii and even Wyoming,... but in this location (after looking everywhere) I finally asked an employee where their souvenir section was and they didn't even know what I was talking about. I was just looking for stickers. I confirmed with another team member and she said they didn't have any. Oh well... I ended up buying Toblerone chocolates for stocking stuffers. The chocolates were on sale for Black Friday. The Walmart parkade is an underground parking garage Exchange Rate 11/29/24: $1 USD = $1.40 CAD Review #3609

cf richmond centre really does have it all, uniqlo, zara, h&m, the apple store, muji, the lego…read morestore, sephora, basically all the staples you actually want in one place and then some. it makes running errands or doing a proper shopping trip super easy, especially if you're the "one stop and done" type. a little context that makes it even more impressive: it's one of the major shopping hubs in richmond and sits right by the canada line's richmond-brighouse station, so getting there by transit is effortless. the mall has been around since the 1980s, but it's now in the middle of a major, multi phase redevelopment that's gradually transforming the whole area into more of a modern, mixed use 'downtown' core with residential towers, expanded retail, and new public space. if it feels like it's evolving, that's because it literally is. inside, instead of a typical boxy layout, the mall follows more of a soft loop. the corridors gently curve and wrap around in an irregular oval shape rather than forming a square or straight line. it feels organic, almost like it grew over time and that flow makes it surprisingly easy to cover ground without feeling like you're walking a marathon. you naturally pass storefront after storefront as the space opens into wider halls and seating areas, so it never feels like a long, narrow hallway. it's bright, open, and comfortable enough to spend a few hours in, whether you're on a mission or just wandering with a coffee. the food court, the dining terrace is solid too. good variety, lots of seating, and generally well maintained. you've got quick bites, plenty of asian eats (as you'd expect in richmond), and the usual comfort options. it's not trying to be a gourmet destination, though there's a few restaurants, and reliable fuel for round two of retail therapy. there have also been some fun activations lately. during an olympic themed event, they set up a mini bobsled experience and even a curling activity where people could try their hand at sliding stones. it gave the space a playful, community energy that made it feel like more than just a place to shop. of course, it hasn't all been additions. the loss of the bay marked the end of an era and left a noticeable gap for longtime shoppers. it was one of those anchor stores that felt tied to the mall's identity, so its closure definitely shifted the atmosphere. the main downside right now is the construction. some entrances are blocked and navigation can take a minute to figure out. the signage helps, but you might accidentally do an extra lap thanks to that curved layout. still, parking is free, as it should be and in metro vancouver, that alone feels like a small win. overall, it's still one of the better malls in the area, and it's clearly in transition. if this is the "during construction" version, the finished product should be pretty exciting.

CF Richmond Centre feels like a teenager who hit a growth spurt too early and never quite figured…read moreout what to do afterwards.  Sure, it's got the Apple Store gleaming aspirational techheads, a handful of designer storefronts trying their best to look worldly, and a food court upstairs that--on paper--should be a damn good reason to linger. It's polished, modern, almost smug in its stainless-steel confidence. And yet... you walk through on what should be a busy day, and the silence hangs around your ankles like fog at dawn.  There's an emptiness here, a kind of mall ennui, as if the place is waiting for someone--anyone--to decide what it's supposed to be when it grows up.  Are you going to be high fashion and chic or will you be another bargain mall? Meanwhile, just across the way, McArthurGlen is sucking up all the oxygen like the loud, flashy cousin who shows up at the family reunion with new teeth, discount luxury, and a better Instagram account.  That's the place people actually go--destination shopping, outlet energy, crowds spilling out of every corridor. CF Richmond? It becomes the afterthought, the "well, we're already in the area so maybe we'll swing by" mall. The mall equivalent of a consolation prize - maybe the pageant winner will retire and CF-R can have a chance to reign like a real mall... Maybe not. And then there's the parking - OMG!  Years of construction, half-blocked entrances, the slow-motion nightmare of circling levels like a frustrated shark just hoping for a space to open up - that isn't blocked off!  A mall can survive a lot, but it can't survive making people miserable before they've even stepped inside. With The Bay packing up and leaving, the mall loses not just a store but an anchor - literally the ballast that keeps a mall from drifting into irrelevance. They need a heavyweight, something bold, something that makes you say, yeah, okay, I'll deal with the traffic for that. And they need it fast. CF Richmond isn't bad. It's just adrift. A mall with good bones, some shiny pieces, but no heartbeat.  A place that could be great but is stuck in the purgatory between intention and execution. If it wants to matter again, it'll need more than a facelift - it needs to grow up and choose what it wants to be.  Right now, it's just waiting for someone to save the mall. 2.5 stars - take it or leave it.  The Apple Store isn't enough for me to trek there! Meh...

I like that the merchandise is displayed with no gaps for things that might be out of stock. Lends to a nicer overall appearance to the store. I also appreciate that they're well staffed so it's easy to get a hold of someone if I had any questions. The staff are nice and polite. All and all, I always enjoy my time at this location - whether I am buying or something or just browsing.

The mall is old and tired looking and it shows. Fortunately the washrooms have been upgraded to…read morethis decade so it is decent. It is quite sprawling and confusing. It does have anchor tenants at all sides, so remember where you come in from. What I appreciate about this mall is the prices at the food court. I'm not sure if there is an agreement or something, but most of the food operators have at least a couple of items under $10, making it very affordable. Some even sell coffee or tea at under $2. You do see many elderly Asians here, maybe that's why there is cheaper options? They do occupy the tables at the food court chatting for a long period of time. Think of this as another version of Timmies, but with more food options. I was told the T&T here is the largest and it is busy at all hours. The parking area near it is always full. Park elsewhere where it has more empty spots. I like this Asian mini mart (Smart Save) where you can get many food stuff from Asia that are not available in T&T. There is also Langley Farm Market here which has nice produce. There are also Daiso, Dollarama, JYSK, Forum home appliances, etc here. Interesting mix of tenants. Crowded on weekends especially when there are special events in the atrium. It's like a typical mall you will see in Asia, packed with families.

I decided to go for the same ones - only in the waterproof/ winterized model. They went up to a size 10. I had went online before coming here to make sure they had my size. Staff was unenthusiastic ( this seems to be a pattern at the 4 different locations I visited in the past 2 weeks ) The girl got me the black & grey ones. I asked to see the all grey as well, but she didn't seem like she wanted to go look for them at the back. When she did come back with them- I noticed that both pairs had flaws in the fur. Of course these were the only 2 pairs they had. I returned my size 9's and asked how long the sale was on for. She claimed to have no clue .....

A VERY RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE employee at this location.. MERCEDES…read more Literally I kid you not, BEWARE of the employee/manager, "Mercedes." Now you're probably thinking.. darn.. which one was she.. is the the woman who wears a mask and has purple hair? Or blonde? Because I'm pretty sure she wears different wigs. But anyway... THAT IS CORRECT. The audacity of how rude she is is actually freaking absurd. If you have a concern about a shoe for example, she will just answer you very rudely as if you're the one who has disturbed her precious day.. or shift should I say. Her tone in the way she speaks is just.. SO unprofessional. I know for a fact that all of these "positive" reviews about her is because she's guaranteed people to write a review for her to get 10% off their purchase!! She'll make you do it at the check out and watch you do it too. She asked me to do it once and I was like oh wow you are CLUTCHINGGGG. Customer service PLEASE go to this location and see her for yourself. I promise you've lost countless customers due to her, or the very least you've lost respect.

While the ad shows "free selection of 300/500/800/1000ml", only 500ml juice or hot water, only 300ml coffee is possible. Even the pictures are misleading on the actual capacity. Deceptive! And be extremely careful about TBS return policy, these hidden limitations are not "defects", they refused return. Good luck with customer service.

You can always find good stuff here for a great price…read more I find it has nicer stuff then Winners does. Some of my recent purchases included Joico Conditioner, a Free People Dress, Converse High Tops for my husband (in a hard to find size 13) Make-up by Kat Von D, Marc Jacobs, Clinique, Anastasia Beverly Hills ect. They also had some great stemless Wine Glasses I had to have. Staff is friendly. Check out is quick and easy. They have a great return policy ( keep your tags & receipt for best results ) & scan your TJX card to extend the return policy from 10 days to 30. Also I highly suggest purchasing a recycle bag at the check outs for 1.99$. They are big and come in handy for any shopping trip.
