It's amazing to find these great big box malls way out in the Sticks, but I'm really glad this…read moreplaza is here! The Walmart is the biggest occupant, but there's also a Bulk Barn, Dollarama, EBGames, a nail place, and a dentist's office. Most often, we go to the Walmart and Bulk Barn in this mall. The service is good in both places. I find it refreshing to occasionally go to a different outlet of the chain stores I usually frequent, as sometimes they have different items on the shelves (although not necessarily better sales!) or sometimes a little different layout. This is a shopping centre that I will keep in mind for the times I find myself in Carleton Place. It's relatively new, and clean.

I have to agree with Tanya I on this one! If I have a choice about which Winners I can hit up, this…read morehas got to be it. It's always clean and organized and the staff are fantastic. I've had to make returns here a few times (sue me - I don't always like trying on clothes in the fluorescent change rooms) and the cashiers don't even blink they're so well trained and helpful. I love their home section here - they have a great baking and cooking selection and lovely pictures that don't fall on my head because they are smartly stacked at waist height (take note other locations!). I always, always find a ton of things I love here, but the prices can still be a little intense. They do sell higher end brands and you'll pay for them, but of course not as much as you'd pay at other stores (i.e. a pair of Coach sandals might run you $80). I love that they have brand here I usually order online, even their hair products like Cake. Winners - I love you. Sometimes, you stress me out, but this location really is the best fo the best.

I love this HomeSense. It's fairly large, and I always walk out buying at least one thing…read more The store offers a large selection of pictures, household wares, books, furniture as well as linens. It is hard not to find anything at HomeSense that is not priced reasonably. Like other reviewers have mentioned, since it is located on Merivale Road, it should be avoided on the weekends. Not only that but avoid this location on Monday's as well, the stock is usually low, and the store is left with all the "left overs" from the weekend, that did not sale. Usually give it a day or two for the staff to load up the shelves with new goodies after their weekend rush. Best time to shop is Tuesday-Friday in the evening or morning. Don't forget, interior decorators get a discount at HomeSense!!

Minus the drive on Merivale the trip to Homesense was pretty good. This Homesense is massive! There are a lot of items at this store and like most Homesense's the stock changes weekly. There were a lot of items for the house, some nice, some awfully hard to look at! The good thing about this Homesense is that there are a lot of items for pretty reasonable prices. I'd recommend going on a weekday as Merivale seemed like a zoo today and I hear it's like that on weekends.

It was quite the hike to get to Newboro from Prescott; took me longer than it should have. But it…read morewas so worth it in the end! It's a huge shop - bigger than it looks from the outside, with three or four floors. They sell men and women's clothing, shoes, furniture, dish ware, appliances, and decor. I they are open 9:00-5:00 every day. I wandered around for half an hour, but didn't see it all. The staff was friendly and helpful without being all over you. There's even a restaurant in this shop! The prices seemed reasonable, from what I saw. This place is worth another visit, but I will bring my hubby, and spend more time there.

We stopped in for a coffee, and as we sat down there was a blaring racket on everyone's cellphone to announce another tornado warning!! Ottawa's 3rd since September! Ouch!!

I have a very special place in my heart for The Bay (it will forever be The Bay to me despite their…read morerecent-ish rebranding to "The Hudson's Bay") as it is the last standing department store from my childhood. Over the years, I have watched them all shutter, Simpsons, then Eaton's, then Sears. Even the discount department stores like Kresge, Woolco, Towers and Zellers, all gone. Only The Bay remains. Anyone remember The Bay Scratch and Save Days? Lol. Totally dating myself, haha. Anyway, The Bay is a department store with some higher end items and some more affordable items. Some of the flagship stores in larger cities like Toronto and Montreal have luxury items, but not the ones in Ottawa. This location at the Rideau Centre has a nicer selection than the locations at St. Laurent Shopping Centre or Bayshore Shopping Centre. This location also has a Forever 21 section (Forever 21 pulled out of the Canadian market a few years ago, so there are no free-standing brick and mortar stores in Canada, but their items can be found at select The Bay stores). It's where the Topshop section used to be before Topshop pulled out of Canada completely. This location has an optical that sells prescription glasses and contact lenses. There's also a Sunglasses Hut inside this The Bay location. There's also a hair salon called Hair Republic on the second floor, as well as a cafe on the main floor called Market X, but it is independently run, and the prices are high, it's not like the cafeteria that was at The Bay in downtown Toronto from days past (like 20 years ago, lol) that had affordable hearty meals for the downtown office workers, and the kids working a summer job downtown, like I was. Everything is vegan at Market X and it caters to the environmentally conscious well-heeled customer. Market X is where the Lindor Shop was before they closed. I like the mix of items available at The Bay. They sell lots of Canadiana, which make great souvenirs for tourists. They sell State and Main items, who doesn't want some Ketchup Chips socks and Poutine Christmas ornaments, right? Lol. This The Bay is actually across the street from The Rideau Centre, but it's connected by the bridge on the third floor. Street parking or paid parking lot parking only. No private free parking lot like at Bayshore or St. Laurent malls.

I have visited this store (Hudson's Bay now, but I always call it The Bay) a couple of times. The…read morefirst time was back in November 2015. I had a good chat with a woman in the HUE leggings section. I was wearing a pair of corduroy ones. I was literally a walking example of how comfortable they were and are. The Bay is a store that I used to frequent when I first joined the workforce. It gave me a $500 credit card and I managed to get a decent wardrobe for my business office attire. I also learned that it's a ripoff getting a departmental store credit card where interest rates go through the roof. I eventually paid it off and cancelled it. Anyway, The Bay had pretty good deals on Saturdays. I don't know if that's the case these days. I would buy items that are on sale rather than buy them at full price. This store had a nice selection of size 11 shoes. Some were quirky, such as lemon slip-on sneakers and Doc Martens with embroidered flowers on them. I like browsing around in this store, looking at women's clothing, cookware, and more. I recommend waiting for a sale, as some items are more expensive than they should be. (247)

4 stars for what it is... I like it here, especially with…read morethe addition of the self check outs as I am in and out in no time. When I was younger, I never liked coming here as I felt it was a cheap, cheap place. Well, no longer. The prices are on par with everywhere else now. Selection, not outstanding but it has the basics. I have 6, floor to ceiling windows to cover and this place was a lifesaver for curtain rod needs as well as curtain selections. Including the black out ones I like and the faux linen ones. There is always fun, seasonal items and parking is always plentiful. I really like the location. I don't buy clothes here but there are a few cute things to look at. You are forced to actually, as the store leads you through the clothing to get to anything else. But, shopping for bargains is a thing of the past and upon moving back from the US, I was sticker shocked. I'll still go in for canned goods, dog food and snacks. :) It's clean and employees upon check out are always available to help if needed.

This will certainly be hanging out here more!!
