This outlet is the closest one to me. It happens to be in Ajax. I don't mind the drive. It's…read morelocated in a plaza that has many box stores and a decent Costco. I shop at the Gap often. It's one of my favourite stores, but I tend to hit the outlets more than regular mall retail stores. I like the deals and still think that it's ridiculous to pay over $70 for a pair of jeans! Today, I got a pair of blue flare jeans and a magenta hoodie. I had to try them on in the fitting room. The wait to get a free room was about seven minutes today, but the fitting rooms are clean and bright. The lineup to pay was equally as long. I figured out why it was so busy on Saturday when the cashier asked whether I had an e-mail coupon. I subscribe to Gap e-mails and had to look for it on my phone. I found it. I got 50% off my entire purchase, so I only paid $17 with tax. Wow! Needless to say, I was a happy camper. It's not every day that you can get a hoodie for $6 before taxes. (183)

This regional mall in Durham has been renovated over the years. Some decent brand name stores like…read moreZara, H&M, Uniqlo, Aritzia, Sephora, Lululemon, JD Sports, Adidas, Footlocker, Champs, Sportchek. There is a good selection of sit-down restaurants surrounding the mall like The Keg, Kelseys, Kelly's Landing. The food court is very spacious and clean. Some good food offerings like Thai Express, KFC, Subway, A&W, Bar Burrito, Shanghai 360, Taco Bell, New York Fries, Jimmy the Greek, etc. I had a gift card to redeem and the guest services staff were very friendly. They helped me load my e-gift card onto a physical card. There are plenty of parking spots available. If you're looking to shop, I recommend paying a visit to this mall. Boxing week had some decent deals. Good value.

Last July, my friend and I met at the SmartCentres Oshawa location. It is equidistant from where we…read moreboth live. I ended up driving us from the Michael's store to Winners. All boxstores are spread out fairly far apart that it would take some time to walk to each one. I did like this Winners. When I was in high school, I wore a couple of pairs of Tretorn tennis shoes. The problem for me back then was the the largest size that Tretorn made for women was a size 10. I needed a size 11. Instead, I ended up dipping into wearing men's Tretorn shoes. I ended up getting the logo in navy blue and white. Not exciting! My friend and I hit the women's shoe section. She found a cute, glittery pair of boots that fit her perfectly! She found them to be comfortable, even though she wouldn't be caught dead going on a date with them on. I feel that she is my lucky charm whenever we go to a Winners together. I found a fun pair of Tretorns in a size 11. They were patterned and they fit more comfortably than I recall. The footbed is far better than it used to be. I bought them without hesitation. This store is clean, bright, and decent, including the washrooms. The woman who helped me cash out was cheerful and upbeat.There wasn't a huge lineup on a Saturday afternoon. I would stop by this store again if I am in the area. (176)
