    Popped in here while in the area looking for a wreath. The store is on the smaller side, and not…read morethe typical size of a stand alone store. They have a super tiny home section at the very back of the store, but the rest is fashion. I did not find a wreath, and the home selection was very sparse and limited. For a Saturday afternoon, there were only a few shoppers in the store. If your already in the mall. definitely poke around Marshalls, but if you want a greater selection, skip it and go to Winners or Homesense on the Merivale strip.

    So this is the Marshalls in Merivale Mall. It's the second Marshalls that opened in Ottawa, the…read morefirst being at Trainyards (and the third recently opened at South Keys). It's my least favourite of all the Marshalls because selection is not great and they don't carry that many cool brands. That being said, I love all Marshalls so I still shop here. I have to admit that I was very surprised that Marshalls opened up in Merivale Mall. Merivale Mall is such a sad little mall in desperate need of revitalization. It's definitely cooler now that Marshalls is there, but I think it's still pretty lame (but this is not a review of Merivale Mall, so let's get back to Marshalls). Marshalls like Winners and other stores in the states like TJ Maxx and Ross Dress for Less, carries random brands in random styles and random sizes. I love this kind of shopping. It's like a treasure hunt. I don't like going into a store and there are racks of the same item arranged in ascending sizes 0-18, or the same shirt in 4 different colours stacked side by side. Boring!! I like the rush of finding an unusual piece that I haven't seen anywhere else and there's only one in the store and it's my size! Hurray! So this particular location doesn't have a "Red Carpet" section like Trainyards does. So no luxury brands like Moschino, Ferragamo or Fendi. They do have a "Contemporary Designers" section, so you'll see 7 for All Mankind, Paige, and brands of that ilk. And they regularly carry Tahari, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, etc. I love going to Marshalls for the European and Australian brands that they carry. Unfortunately, this location doesn't carry as many of them. Their shoe section is also relatively small (and they rarely carry size 5). Their handbag section is also not great, in my opinion. They carry lots of "regular bags" nothing quirky or fun, no purses shaped like a milk carton or a rotary telephone, lol. Although I think this last statement says more about me than the store, haha. Like all Marshalls, this store is big and bright. Staff are pleasant. While it's not my favourite Marshalls, it's still one of my favourite stores.

    Marshalls - Look at this Vince dress, retailed for $215 and on sale at Marshalls for $26. Sadly too big for me :(

The anchor store is Loblaws, which is quite large with a good Joe Fresh (clothing) selection. There is also a medical clinic in the Loblaws. There's an LCBO and Rexall Pharmacy here. The retail stores are Aldo, Le Chateau, Addition Elle, Reitman's, Bath and Body Works, Carter's Osh Kosh, Dynamite, Femme Carriere, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger and New Balance. The Aldo and Le Chateau are outlets, so they have stuff from past seasons. The Femme Carriere here has a large clearance section. There's a Chatters here too (hair salon that sells salon products). And a BMO, a computer store called NCIX, and a Roger's Video. The only real restaurant here is Chances R. For food though there's a Timothy's Coffee and an Extreme Pita as well. There's a long lane way (next to Loblaws) that connects the square to another area like an annex of sorts. This other area has a Home Depot (with a Harvey's inside), Pizza Pizza, McDonald's, Tim Horton's and Subway. I go here sometimes mostly to check out the Femme Carriere clearance section and the Le Chateau outlet.

In the years I have been coming here, there have not been a lot of good restaurants to choose from in this plaza: "Chances R" has been there only for ever! But more recently, a snazzy new Kettleman's Bagel, and a Popeye's have also opened up.These last two are not sit-down-get-service types of restaurants, but they are still popular. There's also a Tim Horton's nearby. The fact that there are so many take-away restaurants that succeed in this mall says a lot about the clientele here. Loblaws is indeed the anchor store (as Jennifer P noted). I have been frequenting their take out prepared foods counter, and I'm pleased to see the variety of take out dishes that are ready for you, such as: fresh prepared sushi, various salads: vegetables and / or potato, as well as macaroni salad. Loblaws also provides the chain store standard of a whole prepared chicken for about $8.00 (this is usually too much for me to eat alone, just before going to class!) This mall is sort of a big box store mall, a bit like an outlet mall - although I'm not convinced that the prices are any better than anywhere else. However, there is a good selection of stores here. Lots of clothing and shoe stores. It would seem that we as Canadians really enjoy our coffee, as this mall also has a Timothy's, and across the street at the college, there's a Starbucks in the Commons building. I can attest that the parking lot at College Square is pretty much always full! So, do drive carefully.

    I love Winners. Sure, it's a chain, but each store is different. Items change all the time. It's…read morejust a question of timing and whether you land what you want during your visit. I enjoy visiting Winners and not having anything that I truly need to buy. That's what happened when I stopped by this store. I found a bottle of Seche Vite, but it was the gel-like top coat version that I have never tried before. I do my nails and like a fast-drying top coat. As luck would have it, I was in the purse section and saw a purple Kipling purse that was both compact and on sale. $10 off the regular price?! Yes, it's mine! I was so pleased with this purchase. It's not every day when you snatch the perfect small purse for $25. This Winners, in particular, has the most extensive selection of records (vinyl for those who didn't grow up with a record player) that I have ever seen. I was impressed and spent some time flipping through all the titles. The gourmet food section is great. I found vegan candy, lots of tea varieties, and more. The checkout line seemed long, but it moved quickly. I purchased my fine items and left happy. (232)

    I love Winners, and always find at least ONE thing to bring home. I usually stop by this location…read moreonce a week. Unfortunately, every time I have been stopping by, the shelves have been sparse, and almost empty, with the same products sitting on the shelves week after week. The turnover on the products have not been great at all. I love how they have a jewelry counter, but its always difficult to get merchandise shown to you because the one staff working that counter is always swamped, or with another customer. Sometimes you have to wait around 5+ minutes to see something. I usually give up and walk away and return when the customers have left the counter. The juniors section has had the same clothes sitting on the racks for the last few weeks. I am guessing the reason is because it is between seasons. I have rarely had a problem with customer service, although recently the cashier charged me twice for a shirt, but that was because we were having so much fun chatting about leg warmers. :) I noticed on my receipt when I got home about the double charge, and called the store and was told that I just need to bring in my receipt and it will all be taken care of. The hubby did so for me the next day, and the cashier tried to put up a fight, but it was all taken care of in the end. The line ups at the checkout are not too bad during the week, but you can be waiting in line for a while during the weekend. Although I prefer the Bayshore Winners, this location is a quick fix for me, and sometimes I find some really great finds here.
