Uniqlo has finally opened in Bayshore! Uniqlo is a Japanese casual wear retailer, known for its…read morehigh quality clothing. The majority of clothing sold at this store is pretty much just wardrobe essentials; plain longsleeve tees, active zip ups, plain shirts, jackets, etc. This store is focused on the concept of "timeless basics" rather than chasing the current fashion trends. For some reason, I always thought this store was a lot cheaper than other stores but it turns out that unfortunately no, it is not. I bought a zip up for $50 and a plain longsleeve tee for $25. Not that it's expensive, just not a store that I would label as "cheap," but more "affordable." I love that this store is wide and spacious, and it didn't feel crowded even though the store was pretty busy. The coolest thing about this store, though? They have self-checkouts instead of a cashier, and not the normal self-checkouts you're used to, either. It's the kind where you place all your items into this bin, and then everything's instantly & automatically scanned. Then you pay and it prints out your receipt. Mind you, there was around 5 of these self-checkouts so there wasn't a line you had to wait in to pay for your items. Something to note: Uniqlo also has a Uniqlo app, where you have access to app-exclusive discounts and special items that aren't available in-store. I'd recommend downloading this app prior coming to the store, because the reception was weak when I tried to download it on-the spot. All in all, a great new clothing store to check out!

Because of the pandemic, I thought I would have a very difficult time doing an exchange at the store. I was greeted by a very friendly staff upon entry and was so refreshing to deal with Neisha. Neisha was the most pleasant person and say easy going. In most cases, returning or exchange and any other store is not always dealt in a positive manner. Not the case at Journeys. I will be going back for my next purchase, they have a great selection of merchandise but mostly because of my experience. Neisha deserves a raise.

We had some luck in this shoe store, without a lot of pressure. Service was good, and we found…read moreshoes that fit, at a good price. They have a good selection that offers a bit of variety. They also offer a rewards program that sends you emails only once a week, instead of the spam that comes every day. I don't know how long they've been here, but they weren't in Yelp before we visited, so my guess is it hasn't been here too long. We will keep an eye on the place, and check it out every now and again.

I usually don't like it when they're all over you trying to assist, but we are going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and I need new clothes!! She went right to work, finding matching items at the right size, and got assistance from the manager when needed - this woman gave great advice! It turns out the clerk was new, and this ended up being a training session. Well, it took about an hour and a half - so much time I never spend on myself, but we'll worth it here! I tried different styles in different colours, and ended up with a complete outfit, including a necklace, all at a 25% discount. Bravo! The only thing I did not get was shoes. Saved that for another shopping trip.

A couple of weeks ago, my daughter and I went shopping at Melanie Lyne in Bayshore. There is an…read moreamazing lady by the name of Laura who helped us in our choices and made our shopping experience enjoyable. Laura is a very nice lady who gives an honest opinion in a gentle way. I will go back there because of her.

I find the quality and prices very good AND it's a registered charity; part of the Big Sisters/Brothers organization so proceeds are going to an excellent cause. They now have a small housewares section but don't have room for big items like furniture. I do make sure this place is on my list when I'm on the hunt for something. Ample free parking and close to other shopping on Merivale.

Thrive Select Thrift Store is a thrift store that sells clothing and accessories, and 100% of their…read moreprofits go to support Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ottawa. I like that the impacts of donations and purchases stay local. And organizations that help kids always have my support. The clothing at Thrive appears to be geared towards youth and so skews on the younger side, in my opinion. The racks are filled with brands like Old Navy, Garage, and Ardene. Prices are cheaper than places like Value Village. They had some new items like Funko Pops and Squishmallows, while I was there, but I guess these depend on donations, perhaps these were from a business (?) They also had some used video games and controllers. They also have (new) Big Brothers and Big Sisters merchandise. Staff are friendly. I believe that many of them are volunteers. They are located in the Emerald Plaza. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

Garage Clothing online is a scam. They charged my visa debit card and a week and a half later after…read morethe purchases came in they then put the money back in my account (this account is only used for online shopping as I use another's bank for my banking) in the mean time my bank fees came out and they they took the money again leaving my account in arrears and leaving me with an NSF charge. Now if anyone knows that bank fees if they go negative they just wait till you put money in your account and who the heck authorized they to go in and out of my bank anytime they want. The purchase was made and the payment went through the first time so why would you go messing with my account weeks later and now that 28$ purchase has cost me 72$ and when they were contacted they said they needed a couple days to look into it so now costing me more daily to be in arrears. This corporation needs to assess their customer service and their payment methods and how they conduct business. Terrible and will never buy from them again.

I dropped in Suzy Shier about a month ago, and I was impressed. The staff were happy, and they had…read morean awesome selection of clothes. (It's been awhile since I have shopped here). If you love cheap dress pants, modern blazers, sheer embellished blouses, peplum tanks and leggings, then this store is for you! The only downside is that the racks were PACKED! A month later.... Today I decided to treat myself and get some much needed work clothes. I found a couple of items that I wanted to try on, and then was approached by a sales associate. She asked if I was doing OK. I asked her for a specific item, and her and her coworker both said that they did not have any, which I later found on a rack. The two associates working tonight really did not look like they enjoyed their job. They both looked M-I-S-S-E-R-A-B-L-E, and were more concerned with giving customers dirty looks and gossiping. I really just wanted to get my items and get the hell out of there. One associate did check up on me when I was trying on clothes, but it was not sincere, and it was forced. I could tell by her tone. I must mention they make their clothes a little big. I am usually at least a large or XL for bottoms, but I left with a size medium bottoms. I think their sizes are made larger, if that makes sense? While checking out, the cashier gave her whole speech on why I should sign up for their store card and it will only cost me $10 more dollars. I cut her off 2 minutes into her whole speech and told her I would pass, which seemed to pissed her off even more. You know that feeling that you get after you purchase an item? You know, that instant gratification, happy, excited feeling? Yeah I love that feeling. Unfortunately I did not get that feeling this time. The staff just killed that feeling for me. Minus 2 stars for customer service. I guess it goes to show that a place can be good one night depending on who is staffed, and it could be a total miss another night if you have grouchy, unhappy workers. I have a new appreciation for online shopping!

The three stars are for the clothes, which I really like, as it's totally appropriate for 20s-30s without being too revealing OR too fuddy. I could do without the vanity sizing, though - walking away with a size Small dress when I'm usually a medium feels disingenuous and I have no idea what size the truly small / x-small among us buy at Suzy Shier! The two stars removed is for the customer service. I've never been treated badly, but the staff always looks miserable and totally uninterested. It's not fun to shop when you feel like you're bothering someone by asking them to open up a dressing room for you.

This is one of the few brick and mortar Danier stores left. Actually, this location opened after…read moreall the Danier locations closed, so it's not an original location that survived the closures, it's a new location. Once upon a time, Danier had many locations across Canada, they were in most major malls. Then one day, all the locations closed without much fanfare. Then one quietly popped up in Oshawa - imagine my surprise as I was milling around at the Oshawa Centre and spotted a Danier store! Then one day, stores started popping up again. They now have 12 across Canada. Much less than in the past (around 80). Anyway, this one at Bayshore Shopping Centre is the only Danier store in Ottawa. I'm still not sure what the story was/is with them, but I'm glad to have a Danier store to shop at again. Danier sells leather goods. They sell mostly leather jackets (men's and women's), purses, wallets, gloves, and belts. They also sell non-leather goods, like wool sweaters. I have several Danier jackets and they have nice styles and all sorts of colours beyond black and brown. I have a super cute pink leather jacket from them, lol. Their sizes run large, a small there fits a size 6-8. So I'm an XXXS (3XS), which sounds freakishly small, but it's not, it's like a size 0-2. I'm glad to see Danier back in business in Ottawa :)

I'm so glad Danier is surviving restructuring! One door closes (in Kanata Centrum) and another one…read moreopens - right here in Bayshore! They don't quite have as much stock on the floor as they did in the old shops, but they had a nice variety although they did not have cloth scarves. The clerk was friendly and helpful. There was a 25% off special, apparently, but it wasn't well advertised. Let's see how well the store stands the test of time - no easy feat in these COVID times - or if they'll end up being a pop-up shop.

The store itself is clean and there a good selection of clothing. The service there is hit or miss. Some employees are perfectly friendly and helpful. Then there are others that act like they hate life and everyone there, and make you feel like you are inconveniencing them if you ask them for a room to try something on or asking to check out. Though they were just standing around talking to others.
