Imperial Textile is far and away the best, now that I found them, I'll never go anywhere else. Their embroidery quality is perfect, no slumped letters or pinching of the material during stitching. This helps present a premium, quality image for my company when in front of customers, and that's priceless. These guys are real pros, give them a shot and you won't be sorry.

Several decades ago I did a fair amount of recreational skating, but then took many years off…read more Last year I went up to Ottawa to skate on the canal (highly recommended) and developed a wicked case of "lace bite". A friend recommended Front Row Sports as a place to talk to about solutions to this painful issue. Now, almost a year later I finally made it over to Union Road. I took my old skates (like 40+ years old) and really expected that I'd have to buy new ones. The two young guys at the tech counter (born well after my skates first were out on the ice) were incredibly understanding and it turned out that the issue was most likely just having really stiff laces and not skipping one lace hole over the top of my foot. The guys were actually really complimentary of my old skates (which were high end back in the day) and said they'd never recommend I get a new pair if they could help it. I got a sharpening too and my total bill was under $20.00. The whole experience was great, and I am not, and do not look like, some cool hockey kid. I'd worried that they'd ignore me when they realized I wasn't in the market for lots of gear, but I really felt like a valued customer. If I every need anything hockey related I'll definitely go back to Front Row on Union Road.

I traveled in from out of state over Christmas break hoping to get fitted for new skates after…read moredealing with ongoing arch pain. I had previously tried getting fitted at several other shops in my home state without success, so I was hopeful, but skeptical going into this visit. My experience here could not have been better. Despite the store being extremely busy, Rob took an incredible amount of time with me and fit me into eight different pairs of skates. And when I say "fit," I mean thoroughly, every single pair was baked, and I walked in each one while trying different lacing techniques to ensure the best possible fit. This process took several hours, and he had me try every major brand and price point out to find the perfect combination. Rob then stayed 45 minutes past closing time to finish the fitting and even spent additional time after I left punching out a few hot spots on the boots. When I returned to pick up my skates the next day he again took the time to ask detailed questions about my skating style and to explain skate profiling and what would work best for me. The level of knowledge, patience, and dedication shown to me was honestly incredible. If I could give 10 stars, I would. If you need skates or any hockey equipment, do yourself a favor and come here, you will not be disappointed.

I purchased two dresses; one I was sure about, the other I was not. I attempted to return the dress…read morethe owner profusely recommended. It felt at the time that the purchase was to please the owner more than myself. The next morning, less than 24 hours after the initial purchase, I attempt to return the dress and the owner said, "I can't believe you would ask to return this." I was a new customer and was not told the store policy at the time of purchase. Essentially, I was punished for shopping there. I faced a hardship because I did not look and read every single thing on her cluttered counter. I could understand refusing the return had the dress been worn, or if the return date was lengthy, but she refused to return my money because there was nothing else in the store worth purchasing. The most challenging part was the owner's deplorable attitude. She only cared about how the purchase impacted her, not me. Had she returned this item, I would have been likely to patronize her business in the future, now, all I will do is avoid it and warn others to be 100% certain of their purchase.

It was tough to decide what two pairs I wanted to buy. It took a while but I finally picked two perfectly fitting and good looking pairs of shoes. To make them slip-on, the backs of the shoes has hard plastic in them to make them easy to put on. Kind of like a built in shoe horn. These are not just old fashioned loafers. Even though you don't have to tie them, many styles have laces, mostly for looks. I recommend stopping in to try on a pair.

An entire store dedicated to skateboarding, snowboarding and a section for frisbee golf. There was quite a big selection and it wasn't busy which was a plus. The guy working was very helpful and didn't put a lot of pressure on us to buy. My significant other needed a different size in snowboard boots and apparently the new stock is yet to come in. We will be back soon and are happy to support this place. Another unique feature of this spot is that they have an indoor skate park.

But that hasn't stopped me from shopping there twice and buying two dresses. I'm posting a photo of me wearing one in the pics here. I have never met Andrew but co-owner Julie Ann is a sweetheart and super helpful. Some of their items are higher priced ($100+) but you can certainly find less expensive items here as well, including their sale rack (but with limited sizes). They also offer a great variety of great accessories and at good price. If I had more money to spend, I'd go on crazy shopping sprees at this store. A definite "must visit" for anyone a fan of the rockabilly or pin-up styles.
