    I moved from Vancouver to Orillia a few months ago and was quickly blown away by the arts culture…read moreof a town that has historically punched above its weight class and won. It really is one of Ontario's best kept secrets. Live theatre, Opera house, Mariposa Market (smaller but cooler than Vancouver's beautiful Granville Island Market), Museum of Art & History, Leacock Museum, great lakes and beaches. But my #1 oasis has become Alleycats Music & Art, run by Mike Rothwell and his team of serious music lovers. First time in, I didn't know what to expect. Was kind of like walking into a surreal dream that mixed the favourite parts of my childhood with more LPs, CDs, shirts, and posters than I could count. Bought my first record player in years (Audio-Technica turntable, Edifier speakers - great gear and price). Music selection really is exceptional. Staff were really helpful, too. It's hard to find a store like this in a big city centre, definitely did not expect it in this town of 35,000 people. Highly recommend.

    March 2019... So, I…read morediscovered Alley Catz a couple plus years ago and from the very beginning, I sensed the smaller town friendliness of Mike and Rob, which is a refreshing change from many stores in the GTA. Every time I'm in Orillia visiting my friends, I'll go in at least once to see what catches my eye, often buying 1 or more records, whether in the main store or the old Woolworths... But all that has suddenly changed. I was in yesterday and bought a bunch of records, spending a couple hours in the main store and digging in the basement. Today, I have some more time before making dinner and thought I'd go snooping in the basement again. I walk in the main store and ask if it's ok to look again. Mike confirms the gate is unlocked, I walk over but it's locked. So, I go back and Mike responds flippantly "oh well, too bad. I can't open it for you right now." Which I found odd, cause he's given me the key before when we first met but now there's a change of policy?? Ok whatever... Apparently, they've been dealing with shoplifters, which is a unfortunate. I hear Mike muttering under his breath "damn meth kids." Mike then continues to manifest this disdain towards me and made me feel like I was not to be trusted and says if he were to give me the key, that I'd have to have a minimum purchase of $5. I'm thinking, I spend money pretty much every time I come in, and just yesterday I spent $90+ and today I could spend more. And somehow you feel the need to enforce upon me a minimum?? So, along with this and some other off handed, passive aggressive comments yesterday and the general feeling that I was not welcome, so I just walked out. Don't imagine I'll be going back anytime soon... Unfortunately theft, external or otherwise is a part of every retail environment. If you can't manage that, and wind up translating those feelings by alienating and profiling every customer because of some bad eggs, you're in the wrong business...
