I was looking for some new tart pans and they had a few options in different sizes. I also enjoyed browsing all the odds and ends, they had high-quality brands and options. This would be a great place to stop in and pick up a gift for the home cook in your life.

I was in here yesterday to check out what they had on offer. This store recently opened in a…read morerefurbished strip mall along 42 ave. When I walked in the first thing that struck me was how nice it was. I was expecting it to have sort of a warehouse, industrial type feel - just supplies. Instead there were plenty of retail displays, esthetically placed. The other thing is that the store is quite big filled with all sorts of stuff, from pans to knives to gadgets. I saw a few things that I have never seen before. I am looking forward to going back to pick up. There were probably 15 people milling about looking at all the stuff - a bit of a suprise considering that the store itself feels like a little tucked away secret in a strip mall. The prices are reasonable -but more than that, there is great selection. Limited parking out front.

Discounted Le Creuset? How could I say no?!? And they are a 5 minute drive from my gym! Perfect! I was instantly in Chef Heaven when I walked in, and was able to find just what I was looking for. With notice, they can order any piece in the Le Creuset catalogue for you. I will be back for more!

I was hoping to get one of their festive liquid soap/lotion combos with rack, but was really surprised to see that in early September they had nothing Pumpkin Spice. Nooooo! I asked the very helpful sales lady, and she checked in back for me. I got the last set! w00t! I also picked up a couple gifts for bestie that I thought she would like, and the saleslady let me know that if I order online and pick up at their store, they get credit for the sale. Good to know! I need their storefront to stay around so I can browse as much as possible while I can.

Very poor experience with this company. Purchased a deep fryer that did not work correctly…read more(thermostat did not shut of so the oil keeps heating). Called the very next day after picking it up and discovering the issue and they tried to send me through warranty services. After complaining, they agreed to order me a new fryer to replace the one I received. Unfortunately, it is three months later and I still have not received the replacement fryer (they had to order one). Save yourself the trouble and go to Crown Restaurant Supplies. Better service and better selection.

Although shipping is provided free with a low threshold, I enjoy picking up my online orders so I can look around the store as well. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

So I pushed open the door and the girl ran with the key opened the door, literally looked me up and down and said sorry we are closed, and basically closed the door in my face. I was just at a store previous to hers which was also closed but the woman at the door was incredibly gracious and apologetic. The woman working at this store was so blatantly rude and figured since I was wearing jeans and sneakers I wasn't worthy of entering the store for even minutes or a more gracious greeting. You lose girl better change your attitude B.O.H.A.G.

My house has a lighting issue. I dont mean that there is an issue with the fixtures. I mean, that…read moreeven when it is sunny and all the curtains are open, it is not a bright, sunny place. Especially in my developed basement. It has many windows, but there is just not enough light in the common areas, until all the lights are on. In an effort to brighten the place up a bit, I was referred to the Home Improvement Warehouse Ltd. What a cool, COOL place! The service that was recommended to me, was to bring some of my doors in (not a bathroom door of course!!) and to cut out the middles and put in frosted glass, so that the light from my windows can be enjoyed from my office and a few other key places. The short story, is I did not even know a service like this existed! Like a fool, I would have bought a new door! So I had some help uninstalling my doors and bringing them in, and now at a reasonable rate, Home Improvement Warehouse will leave a wood border, and fill in the rest with a frosted glass, so that the light may shine! This isnt all these folks do! I bought some primer at $40 a gallon elsewhere, and found the same primer there at $26.99 (doh!). They have all kinds of gadgets and gismos for home improvements and renovations. I saw supplies and layouts for all kinds of bathroom and kitchen renos as well. Definately if you are taking on a home improvement project in Calgary, pop in here and see what they have. The prices and selections at this warehouse of handiness look pretty good to me!

Stay away from this business! The ad says "friendly advice" - what a laugh! I paid up front for my…read morehardwood floors, had half of them installed, then waited 8 months for these guys to finish the job. When I went to complain to the owner I thought he might be somewhat conciliatory, maybe even apologetic and reassuring. I started off being quite reasonable, but was fairly surprised and taken aback when he was belligerent, aggressive and swore at my wife and I. He was actually fairly physically intimidating and told me that he "didn't have time for this %$^& ( I won't use his language) , and he was "done with me." Which is interesting since he had thousands of dollars of my money and I had bare sub-floors in my house. Nice. He hung up on me on several occasions after that, and gave me several opportunities to sample his impressive and extensive collection of profanity. They finally showed up to finish the job (like they were doing me a huge favour) but every time I look at my crappy hardwood floors I curse and wish I'd used another business. I have gaping gaps between the boards that you could stick a loonie in - even though Home Improvement Warehouse did the installation, and despite my top of the line humidifier. Cheap product + brutal unprofessional service = shoddy results. Take my advice and stick to reputable companies, with a proven track-record of service. If I can save one of you from going through what I did, I'll be happy. Don't shop here.
