They have a wide selection of over 32 different types of Soy Sauce. They sell steamers and sauce pans including some stainless steel utensils. Lady is very friendly and knowledgeable. You will also find Indian basmati rice, chips and snacks. So dont be intimidated by the sign just go in and browse the isles!

We bought some kitchen cleaning supplies that were brand new and at very reasonable prices. Some of the furniture was in very good condition. A lot hardware as in sale - some brand new.

Flip! I wish I had known about this Habitat Restore when I was a lowly U of Guelph student. It's…read moreloaded with sweet second hand goods. Kitchen appliances, computer chairs, retro kitchen dining sets, crappy vintage floral couches, CRT televisions, stereos, desk lamps, ironic scenic paintings and BLINDS. Every student needs real blinds instead of those see-through bedsheets that are a peeping tom's dream-come-true. This place has all the furnishing you need to put together a student dwelling! If you're doing renovations, they have supplies like surplus tiles, light fixtures, even unopened cans of paint and caulking. It's a good deal, worth checking out and it all goes to a good cause. They also accept donations if you're moving out and don't have time to sell your furniture, etc.

Be Alert when getting passport photos at Walmart Woodlawn Store . At the entrance there is a…read moreseparate store called "PhotosUnlimited," which is not part of Walmart. They charge about $64 CAD for passport photos. If you go inside Walmart to the electronics/photo department, the passport photo service was about $19.50 CAD. Just a heads-up so people don't assume the entrance store is the same as Walmart's service.

I would like to give a shout out to Stephen at the customer service/return desk. He was very…read morepleasant to deal with. Even though I was unable to do the return as I did not hang on to my receipt, he went over and above trying to find the purchase in the system. Well done Stephen!

Went here the other day while I was out with my 8 year old nephew. His mom had given him some money…read moreto go ahead and get some Pokémon packs. As a fan of Pokémon myself I know how expensive the hobby has become and how little is available due to scalpers clearing everywhere out. Luckily the man working let us know that they were trying to combat this with charging retail price for their cards unlike most places that mark them up by absurd prices. We then were able to actually purchase some packs and my nephew was ecstatic! It's places like this with employees who seem to actually care that keep my faith alive when it comes to this hobby. We will 1000% be coming back to support this store. They are amazing and so are the employees.

My #1 stop for video games that I've been going to since I was a kid. The staff is friendly and…read morehelpful, they have a good selection of new and used games, used consoles and controllers, and merchandise such as plushies and clothing. To be honest, I dislike going to EB Games now, since like 75% of their stores are just POP figures and merchandise, and they only sell the newest games with a sad selection of used games, nothing for older consoles, and an almost non-existent selection of DS/3DS games. But I always depend on Microplay to have a new, lesser known game I want in stock. They also have games for older consoles like N64, PS, PS2, and GC, and sometimes have cheaper prices on brand new games compared to other video game stores. Even if there's other game stores nearby, I always go out of my way to buy a game I want at Microplay, cause I REALLY don't want them to ever close down!

It has a monster selection, but you really get a feel that everything is curated down from the travel selection down to the magazines. Even the kids section is fantastic and my son really loved our visit. They do a variety of special events and the staff are just super nice. You owe yourself the favour and go hang out at The Book Shelf for a while.

I was horrified to hear the staff berating a woman who had her mask down in the store. The ignorant staffer asked if she had a virology degree and insisted that a cloth mask was mandatory even though the woman had put it back up. Even Fauci at this point has said cloth masks don't stop the spread of this virus. It's disturbing that staff can be belligerent to customers as mandates are about to be dropped literally tomorrow. Never will I shop here again.

The reason I give it 4 stars is because of Indigo and Marshalls. I don't see any previous reviews mention Marshalls which makes sense since it opened up in 2016. Besides that the clothing stores I think are worth visiting here are American Eagle Outfitters, Roots and Sport Chek. Food court choices are decent.

At the till I noticed a $13 price variance in a product I most needed to complete my purchase. I told the cashier I would grab the tag and show him the entire shelf was marked as so. He asked a colleague who was aware of the incorrect signage. I asked for a price adjustment or to speak to a manager. Turns out his colleague WAS the manager, was aware it was labelled incorrectly, hadn't fixed the problem and denied the ajustment. I had been looking forward to this shopping experience. Instead I left with out my products and a sour taste in my mouth. I will not be returning.
