I had my birthday yesterday and my mother bought me a wonderful gift certificate for "Felicity and…read moreFritz" and independant store in downtown Kingston, Ontario. I went to the store on the hunt for a new purse. You have to know that purses in this store cost between $115 - $435. I didn't see anything that I like in the store so made my way to the other store uptown also called "Felicity and Fritz" and owned by the same owner. I found the most gorgeous purse there and proceeded to the cash. When I handed the cashier my gift certificate she sorry, this can only be used at the other store (2 blocks away). The cashier called the owner and she said No as well. I proceeded to go to the other store and spoke with the owner, explaining that I found a purse in her other store. She still said no, she could only honour the gift certificate at the one store. I asked why? You are the owner of both stores? She said yes but she had 2 different computer systems and one store would recognize the other. I still dont get it - The other store is closing so all the left over merchandise will be transferred down and sold in the one store anyway. She is the owner and has the authority to make decisions. So now I am left with a gift certificate that I cannot use. They were happy to take my poor mothers money but will not let me make a purchase in the one store. If you ask me a bad way to do business. I will never buy anything there, neither will my mother or any of my friends and I am going to keep making sure people know about this. You know the old saying - I tell 10 people and then those 10 people tell 10 people and so on... Awful price to pay for a lousy purse. I am sure we will see the second store closing in the near future as well when business in carried out like this. Cindy

As someone who has bought all of their daughters prom dresses from Agent 99, I am ASHAMED of what…read morethis store has become. Today my daughters, their friends and I came to Agent 99 to look at graduation dresses, and I was horrified to see Christianity, Jesus, and the Saints being mocked as soon as you walked in the store. This is DISGUSTING. Canada is a Christian nation and to see this in a Canadian owed business is beyond disappointing. It is so sad how much this once amazing store has changed over the years. Rest assured we will not be returning, and I will be alerting the church mothers about this. Don't forget Agent 99 that the majority of your $400 dresses are bought by CHRISTIAN moms for their daughters, not a smart business decision!

At that moment, I was thinking I was in the perfect place for lightweight, water-repellent outdoor clothes. Luckily for Kingstonians, just a sturdy 30-minute walk to their Columbia Sportswear store at the King's Crossing Fashion Outlets. It's all here ... the raincoats, the winter coats, the hiking shoes, the polo shirts, the shorts, the other multitudes of outerwear and sportswear, the camping stuff, and the rest. When you go to an outlet store like this, the BIGGEST deals are on the off-season stuff ... so here in June, you're getting the requisite 30-60% off, and the clearance on top of that. Yes, there are always deals here, but they are off the highest retail price you'd never pay. Still, the quality is high and the options are in abundance.
