I wasn't here to eat, as I had just had lunch. Rather, I wanted to check out the Gap Factory Store, which is next door to the food court. Nearby was this Roots store. I saw a 30% sale sign, so I had to check it out. I liked seeing the classic Roots logo on t-shirts and more. It's how I was first introduced to this brand. I liked various t-shirts, canvas bags, drinkware, and caps that I saw. Sadly, none of them were truly on sale. The beaver plushies were discounted. I got a couple of them a few months back that I didn't feel the need to add to my collection. I liked the lightweight sling bags and fanny packs. They would be perfect for travel or simply running errands. I enjoyed browsing around. The sale wasn't spectacular, but I was pleased seeing beaver plushies on sale. (292)

Like Old Navy, its sister store at this outlet mall, this GAP had articles of clothing that I liked. There were a lot of cargo pants. Fleece cargos seemed to be popular and on sale. If you in need of a t-shirt or several, this store had many on clearance. I have a mini fruit t-shirt collection happening. I picked up a t-shirt with mini strawberries on it. It would be perfect with my recently acquired watermelon t-shirt from Old Navy, and my cherries one at home. I didn't bother going into a fitting room that was fairly busy on a Monday afternoon. I tried it over what I was wearing. It fit nicely. It was mine for $8.99, with another 40% discount on top of it. I saw a Squishmallows graphic t-shirt for kids. Why can't they make one in adult sizes? I'd totally buy and wear it proudly as a Squishmallows fan. I headed to the checkout area. There was a bit of a lineup. i got the friendliest man who helped me with my purchase. I entered my phone number associated with my GAP rewards. I let my discount accumulate some more. I paid with a debit card. Done! He asked me if I needed a bag. I was good stuffing it in my Old Navy bag. It allowed my fruit t-shirts to mingle. I thanked him and happily left with my purchase. I enjoyed dropping by this store. I got a good deal on a t-shirt. I'd come back to visit this store again the next time I'm at this outlet mall. (293)

Outlet Collection Winnipeg is a nice addition to the city. It's an indoor mall with a bunch of…read morestores that you'd expect would be outlets. Um, yes and no. I suppose that it's kind of the norm at most outlet malls. Not all stores will give you heavily slashed prices on everything. I like that it's an indoor mall. You are protected from the elements when the temperature swings thirty degrees in either direction from zero. -30°C? You are safe from having your eyelashes freeze over. 30°C? It was what I had experienced while in the city. This mall was nicely air-conditioned and perfect to hibernate against hot, humid conditions. The mix of stores made me happy. Old Navy. GAP Factory. Winners. Claire's. Kernels - Baskin-Robbins. Skechers. Danier. Starbucks. Urban Treasures. Chatime. Lindt. I was perfectly content shopping at these places. Some are your regular businesses at any mall, such as Chatime and Starbucks. Winners has decent prices already. Old Navy, GAP Factory, and Lindt had deals that you'd expect from an outlet. The deals were fabulous. If you are a visitor, you can get a discount when you shop at various stores by dropping by Guest Services. The problem that I encountered was that they ask for ID. I dropped by to shop with a credit card and me. This woman at the counter would not accept photos of my driver's licence, both front and back, with my mugshot, on my phone. I didn't feel like grabbing my ID from the glove compartment of my rental vehicle and heading back to save maybe a couple of dollars on my great deals. Some stores are separate from the mall, but are still a part of it. Krispy Kreme is an example. I don't mind it because it has a drive-thru. There's also an IHOP, which is nice not doing a trip over the border to get your pancake fix. I spent my last full day in Winnipeg at this mall for a few hours. I enjoyed it. I used the washroom before I left. It was fancy and clean. There was plenty of parking. Each entrance is numbered, which is helpful. I look forward to returning to the city and dropping by this mall again. I'm glad that I can finally say that I've shopped here at long last. (330)

2.5/5 I suppose for…read moreWinnipeg standards, it's a pretty good outlet mall. Maybe this review is influenced by the fact I've been to many other outlet malls that have more variety, but I definitely felt underwhelmed after shopping here. The location itself isn't very ideal, as the two major streets are high traffic, so getting here isn't exactly convenient. The mall bills itself as an outlet mall, but I honestly saw very few outlet prices. There were barely any sales or deals in all the places I went to. Definitely disappointing. The place is huge though, and the mall design is extremely open concept, plus the washrooms are really neat. That's about all the positives I can say unfortunately; Polo Park has better options in my opinion if you're looking for clothing.

Tip: This store is at St. Vital Centre. It has better hours of operation than the flagship store at…read moreCanada Life Centre. Winnipeg has a handful of Jets Gear locations. The flagship store is at Canada Life Centre where the Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose play hockey. It's convenient to grab a commemorative item or get a jersey while at this arena. The downside is that if there isn't a game on a Saturday or Sunday, this location is closed on weekends. I was at St Vital Centre and found Jets Gear's second location. It's a few stores away from London Drugs. The hours are much better. It's open when the mall is open, which is seven days a week, with some holiday exceptions. It was cool dropping by. I still don't own a Jets jersey, but it was nice seeing the variety here. I do have Manitoba Moose hoodies and Jets t-shirts. I wanted something different and perused this store. I liked seieng Perfetti's game-winning goal on t-shirts clearly indicatingin that there was 1.6 seconds left in the third period. There were two different styles in white, which is perfect for whiteout conditions when attending a Jets game. I was thrilled to see Teemu Selanne as a bobblehead. He is my favourite hockey player. This bobblehead represented his 76-goal rookie year in the NHL. I ended up getting a Jets whiteout hockey puck. I have never seen one in white. It was a limited edition. I started off as being the only customer in the store. By the time I approached the payment area, there were a bunch of shoppers browsing. Interesting! The man at the counter was cheerful. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I put the puck in my shopping bag. I thanked him and happily left the store. I love this whiteout puck. I have a handful of pucks. This one stands out because it's my only white puck in my collection. I love it. I'm glad that I dropped by this store. If you're a Jets fan looking for cool merchandise or if you're shopping for a fan, I recommend heading over here. It's a good store. (247)

This store is at St Vital Centre. It's a few stores down from London Drugs. If you like Squishmallows, or Hello Kitty and Friends merchandise, this store has a ton. It's awesome! I finally saw its display of Dubai chocolate bars. Cool! Devices to cool you down during a heatwave were being heavily marketed while I was in this store. I liked the neck fan and fans that hold a block of ice. What caught my attention was a Squishmallows crochet kit. I could knit a frog and stuff it. I decided to get it. The woman at the checkout counter was friendly and great. She asked for my phone number associated with my Showcase Insider account. She found me and let me know that I had $5 off this purchase. Yay! I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I placed this kit in my paper bag with handles. I thanked her and left. I have started watching the video on how to crochet this frog. It's rather lengthy at over an hour in length, but the instructions are clear so far. It was great shopping here. I'd return again when I'm at this mall. (248)

When I was a Winnipeg resident, I was a mall person. I had two favourite malls in this city: Polo…read morePark and St Vital Centre. I am more of a outlet mall shopper these days. However, returning to this city on vacation as a sentimental ex-Winnipegger, I hung out at this mall for seven hours. The mall person returned. It's still in me. I hadn't been to this mall since 2016, so it was worth the visit. It's a decent mall. It's a medium-sized one in that there's only one floor. Hudson's Bay (it has a Zellers!), London Drugs, Walmart, and Dollarama are your anchor stores. In 2016, I spent a lot of time and did a lot of damage at London Drugs. On this visit to the mall, I didn't visit any of these stores. I wanted to check out the other stores that I had missed. SilverCity, Hudson's Bay, Purdy's Chocolates, and Indigo were stores that I recognized. They have endured the test of time. I like them a lot. Everything else was new. I could picture the old HMV and Branigan's restaurant when you first enter mall entrance 3 and hit the food court. They are gone. The food court is still excellent. I had a late lunch at Koya Japan and my meal was excellent. I visited a bunch of stores that I had never been to at this mall. Miniso. SoftMoc. Sephora. Claire's. They are all cool stores that I enjoyed visiting and making some purchases. There is a lot of parking at this mall. It may get nuts during Boxing Day or week or month. I have never had any issues parking at this mall. This mall has an Earl's restaurant. I last dined there in 2016 and loved it. There's also Sushi Gozen by London Drugs that I'd like to try someday. I recently met up with a couple of friends here. We caught up over some Timmy's drinks and snacks. It was nice and a memorable, happy experience. It's a decent mall. It has everything that I like and need. (316)

On a Saturday afternoon, I was checking out Southdale Square. It's a fairly long and vast plaza. I…read morehad to drive over to this Giant Tiger from the RBC branch. It's that large. I had no problem finding a parking spot steps away from the store. I backed into a spot near a picnic bench. I assume that staff and customers alike can take a load off there if they want to. I walked in. Apples and pears greeted me. This store had the best selection of graphic t-shirts for women. Snoopy. Fanta. Care Bears. They were all at decent prices, with some on sale. I ended up getting a pink t-shirt with Nashville on the front. I liked the guitar design. I have also been there. I liked the grocery section. What stood out was the variety of noodles. I saw udon and ramen packages that you'd typically find at an Asian supermarket. I was impressed. The produce section looked great. I didn't need any fruits or veggies. If I did, I'd be happy shopping here. This store had a decent selection of plushies, including Squishmallows. I had willpower and did not buy the entire section. Just before I was heading to the checkout, I noticed a number of City seltzer cans. A portion of the proceeds from these seltzer sales supported Food Banks Canada. I was game to buy a couple of cans. I got the tiger tail (orange, vanilla, and anise) and berry whip (boysenberry, blackcurrant, and vanilla). I paid at one of the self-checkout kiosks with a credit card. I also entered my phone number associated with my VIP rewards. Done! I grabbed my items and headed to my car. I was out for a few more hours before I headed back to where I was staying to shove the seltzer cans in the fridge. I loved both seltzers. The flavours worked so well. The tiger tail was like an orange creamsicle with a hint of anise to make things different. I am always a fan of boysenberry and blackcurrant. The addition of vanilla made this drink perfect. I haven't seen this seltzer brand at my usual Giant Tiger in Etobicoke. I don't know if it was a Winnipeg thing or if the entire line is now sold out. I liked dropping by this location in Southdale. I'd return when I'm in the area again. (284)
