For girls accessories, what a deal to get bracelets for under $5, you can't even buy a strap at Aldo accessories lol. And seriously, what is the world coming to---different jean designs for 6-yr girls?! super skinny, skinny, bootcut, no kidding, here's the pic.

Tonight they had a nice sized sectionon of clearance items that immediately got my attention. The employees are kind and didn't laugh at my Spousal Unit when he wanted to avoid extra charges and tried to pay with USD's instead of Canadian Dollars. :-) I love the footed pajamas. They are warm, soft and durable enough to last two or three kids! Definitely a place to visit if you are expecting or already have children. They will outgrow most of the clothes they sell before messing them up.

At the front you have the newborn stuff. Sales items are at the back. One thing I found about this store is that they tried to fit so much in a small store making it hard to walk around without bumping into their stuff.

uniqlo sits in that sweet spot where everything looks simple, but somehow you still end up buying…read moremore than planned. it's calm, practical, and very easy to browse and shop, clean layouts, neutral colours, and pricing that makes everything feel reasonable in the moment. this location in particular feels spacious and well organized, especially with the two floor layout. neatly arranged sections, wide walkways, and that signature uncluttered look. the wood flooring and bright lighting give it a warm, almost showroom like feel, and everything is folded with that very precise consistency. what also makes this metrotown location stand out is that it's one of the very few in canada that offers utme, their in store custom tshirt and tote printing service. you can design something on the spot and have it printed fairly quickly, which adds a more interactive, personalized element you don't usually get at most uniqlo stores. it may not officially be a "flagship," but features like this make it feel a bit more elevated than your average location. their fabric lines are still the real hook: heattech is built for layering in colder weather. it's thin but surprisingly warm, which works perfectly for vancouver's kind of damp cold. airism is the opposite, light, breathable, and moisture wicking. their airism tshirts are especially reliable for everyday wear: comfortable, easy, and low maintenance. beyond basics, uniqlo keeps things interesting with ut graphics and collaborations. you'll find everything from playful designs like miffy, mofusand, and even kpop group baby monster to more design forward partnerships with roger federer and jw anderson. what stands out most is the consistency. hoodies, tees, and outerwear all feel dependable in both fit and quality. it's the kind of place where you go in for something specific (like a birthday gift) and leave with a few extras that just make sense. and yeah, the vancouver situation still feels a bit limited. compared to tokyo, where uniqlo is everywhere, even inside both major airports, it feels more like a destination here. having to head out to metropolis at metrotown, cf richmond centre, or coquitlam centre makes it more of a planned trip. a downtown vancouver location would fit in naturally (pacific centre would be perfect, hint, hint), especially given how well their basics suit everyday city life. overall, uniqlo keeps things straightforward, but does it well enough that you always come back.

The most improved and most tech savvy store in Metrotown IMO…read more Zara @Metrotown has been renovated and it looks like one of those high end stores. The floor is well designed and organized so customers can view most of the merchandise all at once. There aren't that many mirrors on the floor though which I thought was smart. This will prevent customers from trying on clothes outside the fitting rooms. When people try on clothes out on the floor, it makes the store look crowded and disorganized. It's better for the store and the customers to go to the fitting rooms instead. What really caught my attention was how easy it is to pick up an online order. There's a corner where you can scan your QR code and your order is delivered in front of you like a soda can in a vending machine. I thought it was really cool! In addition, there are self-checkout machines where you can pay and bag your merchandise on your own. It's all so easy. The instructions are all enumerated on the screen and are easy to follow. I'm loving this whole new contactless checkout and online pickup! Kudos to Zara.

The security guard stopped my…read morehusband with an unnecessarily harsh tone while he was holding a few items and simply looking for me inside the store. We explained several times that we were shopping together and planned to pay for everything at once, but the interaction was unprofessional and uncomfortable. The store manager was present but offered absolutely no assistance, no explanation, and no effort to resolve the situation. There was no disrespect from the manager, but the complete lack of response and indifference made the whole experience even more frustrating. This level of customer service is unacceptable for a brand of this size.

Tell me when was the last time you even found a shirt made of that! Gap is tha place to get clothes in nice colours and cuts. It is so well priced during sale periods and the clothes actually last for years! Also, the workers are supa friendly and actually want to talk to you. Uniqlo is seen as the golden child of metro but that has to change. Come here before Gap has a whole personality change when they collab with kanye!

The staff are friendly and will help in finding sizes and items. The place is also not as messy as other outlets even during sale periods. There needs to be a better sign for the fitting room as I had a hard time finding it previously. I used the fitting room over at the kids' section previously before realizing it was for kids. Otherwise it is an ok store within Metrotown.

There was some language barrier as my guests were from India, which I tried to explained to the sales lady as I could tell she was getting impatient with them. As I explained it, she became more upset and said things like "we are in canada, not India", and made us feel like she was doing us a favour by just doing her job. I had to walk away because I was getting upset at the complete lack of civility let alone customer service. I appreciate that we all get impatient or are off some days, but to be snarky with customers isn't right. Fortunately my out of country friends are the easiest and nicest of people, they didn't even notice her behaviour and pleasantly thanked her for her help. Personally I've never seen such poor customer service. Over the years we've sent a lot of business to this store, sending our out of town guests here for sandals but not so sure anymore.
