I love food. Let's get this straight. You may know this. You may not give a damm…read more . . Places which sell copious amounts of food and have a huge selection are a candy-land for me. A true paradise. So finding Mayrand was an interesting and clever treasure hunt. Back in the late 80's my dad would take us to a place in Winnipeg called Jensen brothers. This was pre-Costco and a true cash and carry. This was the type of place where you could get some smoking deals on large quantity items. Discovering Mayrand was an exciting and intoxicating display of goods in large quantity. Do you need a 14L pail of Ice cream? Probably the hell not! Unless you are having the whole neighbourhood over for a block party. Or do you need a whole leg of prosciutto? If your family is from Italy or you are having a feast you may need one! Okay folks, Mayrand has quantities for everyday shopping as well. Lots of items! Pretty much every department. They also have a huge restaurant and commercial business side catering to restaurants, bars and other food service outfits as well. I will be honest with my review. It's not all unicorns and gumdrops. I did buy a very cool sharp oyster knife and did search on Amazon after and found it for $20 less. Yes I was a tad pissed. I did want it ASAP though to shuck the two dozen oysters I just had purchased. So shop and understand your prices. Some items here are hella cheap. Think bulk quantity. If you love shopping at Costco you will love their different product assortment. It's just off the A25 on the cusp or Anjou/RDP. Oh yes also. Visa + MasterCard are available as methods of payment making it miles above and beyond better than a cash n carry

We were so psyched that we didn't see anything like what we had in the U.S. Incredible style, quality and selection. And I had a walking stick with me and lost it in the store.

If I can ever get back to that store again, I'm there. Otherwise, it's online shopping there forever more.

This mall looks exactly like the ones you…read morewould find in the States, pretty much an anchor store on each end of a cross and a number of smaller fill-in stores in between. One of the anchors has closed, so for now they only have three major stores. Inside the mall it was very clean, well-lit, and roomy. Outside there is a lot of parking available, and the mall is hard by major expressways so getting here and back is easy. Located right on the edge with entrances inside and outside of the mall are some nice restaurant chains - we went to the Baton Rouge steakhouse connected to the mall. While a mall is a mall is a mall is still true, this one was pretty nice with middle quality stores throughout. Loads of eating places near the center portion of the mall.

I find their matcha tea to be lacking, though. They've got one variety only which sells for about $80.00/lbs and in those large bins it tends to get stale, to say nothing of all the people sticking their hands in it. Another store, ABC des Saveurs has three different varieties of match tea and their most expensive goes for about $27.00/lbs, it's in smaller sealed bins and served by the owners with gloved hands. Much fresher and much more sanitary.

Place Versailles is a-ok. Yes, it could be better; however, it's a major shopping center with…read moreample parking on the east side of Montreal where, unbeknownst to a lot of tourists, there is a large swath of different neighborhoods, some with attractive detached homes, with many demographics having different tastes, needs, and budgets. The layout is not exactly simple and linear, but it's not that challenging since the mall is more of a medium-sized one. It has 2 or 3 anchors and plenty of "middle class" stores. I say that because you won't find the upscale ones here and one of the anchors is Canadian Tire (which is a general merchandise mart as well). The food court is small, but it has enough variety. If you're looking to a mall food court to eat well, I'd question why you'd even be doing that. Mall food court food is "tide over" food. Not everyone needs trendy things. I say that because, in Montreal, there are many places to buy things that are "cool" or "chic," with most of them in more urban(e) shopping centers downtown or in boutiques throughout the more sought after neighborhoods. However, people also need malls with bread and butter stores and, at present, that's the niche that Place Versailles appears to fill. Because of its simple nature, Place Versailles gets 3 stars from me. It's great that Montreal has a mall like this within its city limits, and that it sits right next to the 25 at Sherbrooke. This type of suburban mall is more likely to be encountered further out ... on the West Island, in Laval, and on the north and south shores. Again, there is plenty of free parking - a real challenge in most parts of Montreal - and, should you want to take the Metro running under Sherbrooke to get here, your station would be Radisson.

Out of all the dollar stores in verdun I would consider this one the main one that has the most traffic and has the biggest selection on decorations for the holidays. The line ups can get pretty long around 15-20 ppl standing in line long. They constantly have people coming and going off the cash registers which I find strange but at least the cashiers jump between cashes so they can two customers at once. I find this locations to always have their decorations out before the others so if you're like me and can't wait for the holidays than let it be known that the store is packed with Xmas decorations.
