My son (9) went in and told the guy it was his first ever purchase. That slime ball sold my son a box of cards for 80$ that was released the DAY EARLIER and sold for 30$ at authorized Pokemon shops, these guys go around to all the stores and buy boxes then mark them way up. I can't believe you ripped off a nine year old with such pride. I hope this message reaches new collectors and you avoid this place. We will never set foot in this scalper shop again. Wish I could give 0 stars !!!

We'd ask if we could try anything on and they'd be like "yeah just grab everything you want and you can go" no assistance required. Which is refreshing yet foreign because I'm used to there being an item limit and you can't go two people inside, etc. So I guess it depends on you if you enjoy this kind of service. I thought it was ok. I wish we had a Montreal Patagonia store.

Inspiring space coupled with intuitive staff, whether looking for edgy technical, retro throwback-y colors/designs or weird modern urban wear. Premium stuff made of good materials with good stories. Not to mention that you can put it all through hell and it'll only look more badass. I'll be back soon, for sure.

The first thing that hit me when I walked in was a wonderful sent of tangerine, at least I think that is what it was, the smell was heaven. This place was packed today, I know it was a combination of beautiful weather, Spring Garden and March Break. There was no sign of recession in this store. The line went from the cash right to the back of the store. I could not believe it. And no one was blinking an eye at the cost, $58.00 top, $130.00 jacket, $90.00 pants. I do think some people will choke on the prices, but I believe you will get great quality. Either that or half of Halifax has lost their minds, because I have never seen so many people in a store, and no sale going on. The styles and colours here are a step above the others you will find. They had some great selections. There was one jacket I thought was a pretty good price, the $130.00 Rain Jacket.

While I'll admit that at first, I found this to be kind of neat, I have come to find it to be very distracting and lacking professionalism. Inside, the staff members were quite friendly and eager to assist. While I had gone there with the intention of buying a work-out t-shirt, after discovering that one of the cheapest and most basic t-shirts was $58, which by the way was made overseas, I decided against the purchase. I then went and checked out the exercise pants, and while I agree, they were some of the nicest exercise pants I had ever seen, I simply could not justify paying $98 + tax for a pair of work-out pants. Needless to say, I left the store once again, empty handed, and am continuing to wonder how work-out clothing can demand such high prices.

I'm not here to talk about food quality or presentation of a particular menu item. I'm not here to talk about how awesome it was to build Legos and dress up like pirates (though that was pretty spectacular)... I'm here to talk about running shoes and my experience at the Halifax Shopping Centre Sport Chek. I'm about to run my first marathon (Crazy yes, but oh so needed for this life changing journey) and for the past couple of weeks I've been on the hunt for a new pair of Saucony running shoes (I'm a die hard fan). After being sorely disappointed in Aerobics first (another review possibly?) and Amazon I turned to the clearance blow-out by Cleve's and found a nice pair of running shoes... The only problem? They didn't "POP". This is going to be my first marathon people. Everything needs to look good, feel good and hey did I mention looking good? Meegan and I happen to stop in at another Sport Chek location earlier this week looking for a new running shirt (remember I need to look good while running 42km). They were having a buy one get one half off sale on shoes... We just looked... A day later we found ourselves at the Halifax Centre location with the intent of purchasing not only another pair of Saucony running shoes for me but another pair of athletic shoes for her. There was only one guy working in the shoe department - Jacob. The review is more about him than anything else. After spending a lot of time in the major "running" stores in the area he is by far the most helpful person I've encountered and he's not even a runner (hockey knees!). For someone that doesn't run he has quite the knowledge background and took the time to explain to me all this new talk about 4mm drop (it's a running thing) and about the difference between a stability / neutral/ minimal shoe. At the other "running" stores I sort of got the evil eye for not knowing all the technical terms (I just run...) He spent quite a bit of time going back and forth between shoes for Meegan and me. In the end we both walked away with a pair of shoes that we fell in love with. The store itself was ginormous. Chock full of all kinds of sports equipment and a pretty large clearance section in the middle (I do love a good clearance section). If you get a chance head to the back where the athletic shoes, look for Jacob and try on a pair of Sauconys!
