Dots is interesting - it's a liquidation store with mostly clothing but also random liquidation (think AEcor Urban Outfitters sassy books/novelties). Located just south of the Edmonton city cemetery and literally behind (north) of Oliver Square. It can be a little tricky to find the first time. I have friends that have found some fabulous treasures here in the clothing liquidations but I haven't found that hidden Easter Egg yet. The layout is kinda like a thrift store but way less organized. You need time when you come here to sort and sift through the garbage to find the gems. Also, sign up for their email online for advance notice of sales and coupons. It's a fun little liquidation warehouse but it could be improved significantly with better organization and layout. read more

Unexpectedly awesome wee store. It's full of designer stuff with up to 80% off. Rains and rains of clothes at bargain prices. My husband loved the mens shoe section. I was in to the wallets and sunglasses more than anything, so many styles and so cheap. I always break my sunglasses or lose them, so I'm always on the look out for a low cost fashion pair of shades. There was homewares and stationery too. It's not a 'pretty' shop but if you like rummaging at Winners then I think this is your new favourite store. read more

I came here on a whim on a Saturday after work (I've taken a break from DOTS since I was spending too much on my wardrobe). I must've spent a good 1.5 hours there perusing the numerous racks and trying on a large armful of clothing. I'm happy to report I walked out with 5 items and the total bill was just under $120! They were having an extra 20% off some items that day too which helped. If you're willing to sift through racks of clothes and spend time trying them on - you will be rewarded! I found two awesome skirts - one with black feathers and the other with a chevron sequin pattern; a lovely white button up top with lace details & collar tips; and two dresses by Kensie - a colorful maxi dress with a detachable neon chain necklace and a bold purpley/blue knee length dress with beaded & crochet detailing. They were also having a huge Mexx clearance (90% off) since they received lots of their merchandise when the chain closed. This is a great place to kill time and walk out with some great finds! read more

I can't believe I had never been here before. Dots is a 10 minute walk from my house, in kind of a weird spot behind Oliver square. And they have so. many. clothes. Like, so many. This is the kind of place where you should plan to spend a lot of time. If you're looking to run in and pick up something particular, go elsewhere. The racks here seem to be mostly random. If there is some kind of order, it was not obvious and completely unlabeled. But that's ok, Shopping is fun! They have a number of brands at pretty steep discounts, and so much variety that I think there has to be something for everyone if you are willing to put some time into it. Don't expect help from the staff though. This is a DIY shopping experience. They print the original price on the label, and most things seemed to be an average of 60-80% off. Dangerous. read more

Dots is an ok store. They have tons of clothes, all very well organized by brand and item. They have brands like Liz Clairborne, DKNY Jeans, Mexx, Kensie Girl plus lesser known brands as well. Plan to spend a lot of time here, because you will need it to rifle through all the racks. They have promotions pretty often, like good deals on Mexx, 30% off your entire bill, or $15 dresses. They also have a small but nice display of formal costume jewelry. I didn't get to browse very long, but I would definitely come back another time. read more

If you've never been there, try it out. If you love it, make sure you sign up for their e-newsletter. The have (nearly) weekly deals (50% bumped up to 60% off, $5 items for email customers, etc.) which make it an even more money saving trip. For example, I got the email a couple days ago for an additional 60% off (instead of 50) the clothes that are already on sale. I bought a 100% cashmere sweater that was originally $250 for $28. On days where there is a huge promotion/sale going on, trying to pay usually takes a while as there are only two tills. There are around 8 dressing rooms which makes the process of trying on clothes a quicker process. My first experience, I actually thought it was a used store, but I've come to realize that it's ALL new clothes (most of them being samples). They have A TON of brands, known and unknown. Most of the clothes are targeted for mainly women, but they do include men's and children's clothes. I go there nearly every month (with a email coupon in hand) and never go home empty handed. read more

It's been a few years since I stepped into Dots - I used to go with a friend who has since moved away. Anyways, in my pursuit of finding a reasonably priced dress to wear to a wedding, I decided to check it out again. And boy, was I impressed! I guess I caught the start of their 50% sale sale... because there was a TON left and it was all SUPER cheap. Lots of great brands - Dex, Supertrash, S. Oliver, Kensie, etc... And it was funny how some great quality clothing that isn't necessarily popular in North America was the cheapest! I got an S. Oliver blouse for $12... which is insane, since they retail for around $60 in Europe. And Supertrash jeans for $15 (I had actually never heard of the brand before, but looked it up when I got home and I guess they're $150 jeans? nice!) They also seem to get a lot of unsold stuff from local stores - I saw American Eagle jewellery, shoes, and bags as well as Urban Outfitters jewellery. There is definitely some digging involved in this store (think thrifting), but it can be quite worth your time. read more

Me and my daughter visited this place in November 15 2020 .The store is clean a bit crowded and with some patients and help from the stuff we find some beautiful clothes.I have to noticed Mercedes for her nice manner and patience.The lady manager and the rest of the stuff was also helpful. read more

I love this place! It's a clothing liquidation store (as well, they sell some accessories and novelty items), so it does require a bit of time to visit if you're in search of something specific. I have found a handful of great brands for a fraction of the cost you'd normally find them (Lucky Brand jeans, American Eagle Outfitters, Anthropologie, Dex, Brunette the Label), as well new brands that have held up very well. I would say the majority of clothing is casual to semi-formal, though I've found some more formal dresses and activewear at times - they also have a small swimsuit section worth noting! Staff have always been very friendly too! read more

Lots of hidden gems to be found here. You have to have the time to "hunt". Some items are priced a little high but if you sign up for there emails you can get coupons that bring down the price. I've also found some great art prints in here for $2. Not just clothing but a variety of jewelry, stationery and urban outfitters home items too. read more

Since I am the first person to review Dots, I believe it is one of the best hidden Edmonton treasures when it comes to women's clothing. This store used to be located downtown but several years ago they moved to the back alleys of Oliver Square. Dots hasn't lost any of its square footage and even somewhat expanded. If you shop at this place once, you definitely will keep coming back. Although off the bat it may look like Dots sells used clothes, it doesn't. All clothes are new. And there are rows and rows of them! You will see a rack of clothes all priced at $10, $5 and sometimes even $2. Be very patients and take your time browing through Dots' inventory. It is easy to get confused, say "It's all junk" and give up but please don't! You WILL find a great item of clothing sooner or later. In addition to inexpensive clothes, these guys also sell trendy boutique quality items. They are located mostly at the front of the store. Several months ago I purchased a fabulous cashmere wrap sweater for $120. As soon as you come to Dots, you are on your own: do not expect customer service representatives to know what's in stock or to help you locate a certain item. The store is so packed, and the inventory changes so often, that they themselves cannot keep track. read more

They sell things that are so called on sale but a plain yellow shirt was 34$ dollars from Walmart absolutely stupid

Today, October 28/11 went into Dots store to check out the ad from the Edmonton Journal that read: $160 Designer Coats $12 Not there at that price, only about 1/2 dozen black short jackets at that price! Again, deceptive advertising. It's not the first time that the store has run this kind of misleading advertising. Yes, there were winter coats BUT not at $12. Be warned! I will tell all my friends and neighbors not to go there to shop! J.B. read more

I can see how women would go nuts for this store/warehouse. Not the best for men, but gentleman take your mothers, sisters, aunts, daughters etc... You will become a hero! read more

I love to visit Dots when I'm looking for something new but don't want to spend a fortune. Huge selection and great prices. Like Winners but even more so... You definitely need to have time to spend and some patience to dig through the racks to fiind what you're looking for, but there is almost always a great reward at the end of the search. After having been here quite a few times, I have learned my way around a bit better, figured out where the newest/nicest stuff is (at the front by the dressing rooms) and also discovered some great brands that I haven't found anywhere else. Try it - you'll love it! read more
