I asked if he had any specific biker shorts in stock & he laughed in my face & asked if i've ever "even been to a Lulu before". I have been shopping at Lulu for years and had nothing but positive experiences with staff at the Nanaimo pop up. But Jordan is BY FAR one of the rudest employees i've ever met anywhere, bar none.

Then order online for curbside pickup and you can stay in your car and never have to put on a mask. Leave the shopping for the rest of the law-abiding shoppers. If you can't take the mask that's offered and put it on for the two minutes it would take to check out your garbage can, lady, and have a fit about it, you shouldn't be out in society. Thank you, management and staff. It's terrible you have to put up with abuse just for doing the right thing.

In four years on this personal mission to have them accommodate the elderly & disabled; not one Homesense employee has had the common decency to reach out to me.

Homesense does not give a damn if you can only peer through the front window.......Pathetic!

Need yourself some good threads without the jawdropping prices demanded by department stores?…read moreWinners, like its US counterpart TJ Maxx (or TK Maxx, in the UK), sells men's, women's, juniors and children's clothing, accessories, and shoes, and housewares at a substantial discount. Clothing brands range from little known to fairly upscale designers, like Michael Kors, and similarly for shoes and hosiery. While I've found plenty of brands I barely recognize, every now and then I luck out with a Tahari jacket or pants, BCBG dress (especially in juniors), or upscale pair of designer jeans. Don't come looking for True Religion, but you can luck out and net a few good deals. Winners is an anchor store in Woodgrove Centre, which makes an excellent stop when searching for a separate, jeans, or shirt. Note if you're on the ends of the size spectrum, you will have far fewer options, and this is especially true for bigger sizes rather than small. Small and medium (for ladies) and medium or large (for gentlemen) get the most representation. Petites for women have their own section without a corresponding tall area, though sometimes you luck out and find the rare pair of tall pants in the ladies careerwear area. Because many items are overstock, remainders from last season or the like, I buy on the "check it twice" and "get it now" principles. Check every seam, button, and the like for defects. Always try clothes on because sizes sometimes are irregular, even more than usual. Return policies with Winners are easy and generous, but it's buyer be wise in these types of places. Second, don't assume whatever you saw on the shelf will be there next time. Winners doesn't have a website where you can order the shirt or pants you saw last week, and you may not find them again. The store doesn't feel like a downscale department store, as so many Sears now do, thanks to wide aisles, bright overhead lighting, and a care about the merchandise. You won't see clothes strewn about like a teenager's bedroom thanks to associates who actually ensure things stay tidy. The clearance (red tag) areas, especially around cosmetics and hair care, does tend to be a jumble of products on the shelf, but these are limited. Downside: Children's section for 0 to 5 (toddlers) is woefully slim and entirely weighted towards girls. The boys racks have next to nothing, and no shoes or accessories. Protip:

A potpourri of merchandise and services [Nanaimo BC]…read more This store is like a version of our Target Stores in the US. We walked around inside to pass time until closer to our movie start time at the Galaxy Cinema. Both are located inside the Rutherford Mall. London Drugs has everything from computer and electronics to grocery and beauty products to appliances and cleaning supplies but the pharmacy is the heart of their business. It has an interesting history behind it like how it got its name. The store was named after London, England, the home of Canada's King, George VI. Founded in 1945 it started off as a small drugstore to what they are now. We purchased some snacks to take home later. The shelves are fully stocked. So much snacks to choose from from chips to chocolates and other treats. The cashier employee was nice and friendly. Review #3165

It's just the prices aren't really appealing. Many simple items are more expensive than Walmart or Best Buy for example. It's hard to recommend because of that. Shop around before getting something here. I haven't tried their print services lately but in the past they weren't too great, nor were they cheap enough to be worth using again. There isn't much reason to shop here compared to the competitors.
