Staff are friendly and are willing to help. It is easy to find books, toys, stationery and gift supplies. A lot of the items are pretty well stocked. Online pick up orders are a breeze (a lot of the time). I have noticed that online inventory may not always match inventory in the physical store if you are planning to pick up an online order. Also, a handful if (ex. Lego sets) may take a while to be restocked or has a bit less stock in store compared to other locations. read more

This is my feel good place. I always feel so comfortable and happy whenever I go to any Indigo location. These are so thoughtfully designed and ambiance is so welcoming and cosy. Last week we went here and took our 2 years old daughter with us. She was so happy to see so many books and goodies. We bought her couple of colouring/activity books and couple of story books. She got so excited. She was so comfortable in there and didn't wanted to go home. If there was a bed, she would have taken a nap. So we all love this place and will be back soon. read more

It's about time. Chapters/Indigo's footprint in the Square One shopping complex ballooned up over the last few years to encompass multiple locations within the same mall, with a standalone Chapters, IndigoSpirit and Coles location all situated at various points throughout the mall. When I visited the mall in late 2018, I even asked myself why the brand had so many offshoot locations when they would have been better served going with one single, unified branch. Turns out the head honchos were thinking the same thing, as Chapters closed down in early 2019 (RIP) and was replaced by this new standalone location at the site of the former Target near the bus terminal. You can't miss the giant sign for the store, which is located right by a Rec Room branch that's set to open later in the year. Inside, the layout is just as clean and relaxed as other similar Indigo stores, and my first thought was that it reminded me of the Bay/Bloor location in the Manulife Centre downtown. The bookstore is spread across two floors, with several of the specialty sections (business, biographies, self-help) and physical goods on the top floor, and children's/fiction/sci-fi books on the lower level. On the day I visited, the staff were greeting customers (it was their grand opening) and they were handing out totebags that had the phrase "Indigo Loves Square One" emblazoned on them. Definitely a nice touch. I was a bit fearful that the new location would lose the cozy feeling of Chapters, and how people used to be able to sit down, pull out a book and read for hours if they wanted, but that thankfully hasn't gone away. There's still the odd chair and bench set about the place, and I saw several patrons rifling through a book or magazine as I toured the place. This is also a location that has been designed with entertainment in mind. The lower level has a wide "mezzanine" area near the front that's suitable for performances, and there was a local artist singing on a piano while people stood around and watched. The only downside to this is that it makes getting in and out of the store a challenge when people are blocking up the entryway. It also appears that the lower level has replicated the layout from the IndigoSpirit, but in a much more relaxed way. It's no longer so cramped that you can't even walk down an aisle when there's just one person in it, and the signage is much clearer. One touch I also liked was the elevator between levels, which has some quote from local authors (including Brampton's own Rupi Kaur) facing out prominently for people to read. This new Indigo is undeniably flashy, filled with truckfuls of books, and there's bound to be something you'll find here. It's definitely a worthy successor to what came before - I just hope they host more author events here in the future. 4/5. read more

My friend is an avid reader and we are going for our walk; she read over 100 books since the beginning of December! This two-level (Chapters) Indigo store at the Square One Shopping Centre is huge and a pleasure to hang out now...can't wait until I can actually sit down here. You can always find something here that tweaks your reading interest. If not, pick up accessories such as book markers, dairy or personal journals, etc. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

I am a big fan of books and bookstores and have often frequented this location because it's directly across from Starbucks and the food court. I have to pass it to pretty much go anywhere. Book/Item selection: Pretty good in my opinion. They have most of the ones I always come in looking for (psychological thrillers). I like that they have tables set up thematically like Heather's picks or controversial ones. Due to space, they don't have a very big clearance section. On the right hand side of the store, there are two tables of journals, magnets, etc that make great presents. Currently, they have some great markdowns on these items. Along the wall there are more journals, notebooks and planners. I had to take a star off because recently they took the board game section out. Although there is a Chapters across the street and games are available at Wal-mart, there is literally no stores to buy board games inside Square One! Service: I usually find that the workers here are much friendlier than the Chapters. I often get asked if I need any help and the cashiers are always so nice. In fact, I came in to the store today (which prompted this review) and purchased a $3 set of magnets on markdown. Karl rang me up and I was taken with how genuinely nice and friendly he was. It's so rare to find a lot of people in customer service like that. His love for it was shining through. He definitely made a simple transaction so much better just by being himself. Overall experience: I'll of course be back. I love browsing around and looking at new books to read and keeping an eye for markdowns on the really cute items that I can gift to myself and others. read more

i've got romance on my mind. the new 50 shades of grey style book just came out and i'm dyingggggg to get my paws on it. the romance section is deep in the bowels of the store. i navigate the labyrinth of convenience life style buys. there's a woman shopping the mugs; comparing which would be better gift for that cousin one really likes. i take a right; and i smack into a woman feeling the scarves. shes not trying them on, just walking through touching them. she loves the 'cozy' aesthetic Indigo is selling. like a sunday afternoon with an indigo branded cup of tea, a robe, reading socks...oh yeah and a book. i'm so close to the romance i can hear wedding bells.... wait, no that's the record player or the ipad? isn't there an apple store in this mall? FINALLY got my book...it was free with my plum points read more

Chapters Indigo has a good range of books. I sometimes come here to purchase the occasional book. I like food books but ill sometimes go for action, thriller or psychological thriller. The service is always good. Most importantly is location. They are footsteps from the food court and Starbucks which is good if you work up an appetite after browsing through books. They made a good improvement by removing the board game section which means more books for us to browse through. read more
