The store has taken over the entire space Rona used to be, making it incredibly large. With slight exaggeration, you could get 10k steps in just looking around. There are a wide variety of goods being offered, and the prices are often even cheaper than Dollarama (though some stuff is kinda overpriced in comparison, like $30 kitchen shelves?) so I guess they win some lose some. I found some really good deals for plates, kitchenware, hair accessories, stationary, and foam rollers. Since the place is so big, it's hard to find a worker, and even if you find someone, they likely will not know the answer. It's okay though... explore away!

After the crazy/busy lineups and hype, we finally made it here. The store is incredibly huge, with…read morelong aisles of practically everything you can think of. We saw unique items like wheels for lawnmowers and bikes. There are also cosmetics, housewares, stationery supplies, etc. The store is quite messy, though, with many aisles that need cleaning and reorganizing, and imo, the quality is much lower than Dollarama or Dollar Tree. The parking lot is huge, and the store wasn't overly busy for a weekend afternoon.

The first time I visited Skycity Shopping Centre must have been in 2018. I was a huge fan of Happy…read moreLemon and the closest one to my home was here. Since then, this bubble tea franchise has shut down in the GTA. Chung Chun Rice Dog has taken over this spot. This change explains Skycity in a nutshell. There is a high concentration of bubble tea shops at Skycity. Competition is fierce. I was recently here, thinking that I should get some bubble tea. I actually couldn't decide because the selection was insane and proceeded with my errands instead... haha! I tend to visit Chatime the most here to get my bubble tea fix. Apart from an oversaturation of bubble tea stores, this place has a ton of food. I feel like it'll take me years to eat my way through this place. I recently visited Chung Chun and had an excellent experience. I love their Korean rice dogs and I'm thrilled that this location is a lot closer to me than heading over to North York to satisfy my cravings. My local Cheese Garden is here. I like that I can order online and drop by to pick up my goods. There are benches scattered around the plaza in case you are in a food coma after stuffing yourself to rest or take a nap. There is plenty of parking, although it does getting busy at night. Many eateries and bubble tea places open till 11:30 pm or midnight. There are other businesses, such as electronic stores, nail salons, and more. I have yet to make a dent in these categories here. The catch is that when you exit onto Midland, you can only turn right. Although it's convenient for me to turn left and head home, I don't mind cycling around the block to get home. It's safer considering how weird drivers can be around this area. One of these days, I will visit every bubble tea place here. The problem is that I have my usual places in Markham that it's tough to break decent habits. (342)

Recently restaurants are allowed to serve food on an outdoor patio but not all restaurants made a patio. There is no general WiFi for the mall.

Staff in the past let us come in first with the member's pass as they were parking and the member would come in with the app or credit card. It can take up to 30 minutes to find a spot! This time, they said no and told us to wait at the side. We just decided to leave. The parking situation is the store's problem, not the customer's, and having us waste that much time waiting is unreasonable. The food court line-up is also highly disorganized. Whatever you are craving, by the time it's your turn, you're so annoyed that you don't even want it anymore.

No refunds but items can be exchanged within 7 days of purchase. Ample parking in the free underground garage,

Instead, on my way back to the GTA, I did a search and found this Giant Tiger in Scarborough. It was easy finding this Giant Tiger. You can't miss it with all that yellow signage. It's a huge store. I got a decent parking spot. There is plenty of parking. There was a staff member putting away what looked like thirty shopping carts outside the main entrance. She was cheerful. We briefly talked. I liked how friendly she was. I already had a good vibe about shopping here. This store is huge. I was here to get liquid hand soap. Not even a minute in the store, I found foaming handwash in festive Christmas scents. Two bottles were going for $5. Sold! The grocery section of this store was different. Everything was brightly lit and inviting. I got some chicken bacon that I have not had in ages. I fried some up today and it was a nice change from regular bacon. It was yummy. I liked the variety of items at this store. There were more frozen food items, such as chicken burgers wrapped in bacon and tempura shrimp. I also liked the selection of flannel pajama pants that greeted you just before you entered the store. Each Giant Tiger is different. I tend to go to the Whitchurch-Stouffville location, which has Squishmallows. This one does not. However, it has a ton of Winnipeg Jets and other NHL team merchandise, such as floor and body pillows. I got five gift bags for small items that I am giving to a few of my colleagues. There were festive Christmas ones going for a dollar each. I felt like I was at a dollar store, except that the quality was better. Staff here are incredibly friendly. I had the nicest cashier who asked if I needed a bag and wished me a great day. There was a lineup to check out, but a new checkout was opened, so I only had to wait for five minutes. I'll need to come back to shop here. It's not far from Church's Chicken, so I can always do my shopping and chicken tenders run. (428)

Also the washrooms in this mall haven't been renovated & are usually dirty. One plus for this mall is the new Marry Me Mochi donut place near Moxie's. Also this Moxie's has a great cook. The food here has always been good when I eat at this location. I have been to other Moxie's and they are not good. A con for this mall is the transit is now outside the mall on one of the side roads. When the LRT used to be open there was a bus bay there the buses used to stop. So for transit users this mall isn't as convenient as it used to be. This mall is best for those who have a car.

Tips: - You need a quarter to unlock a shopping cart…read more - Self-checkout kiosks are highly encouraged here. - Al Premium products are in the grocery section, which is different. My rating is 3.5 stars. I love the produce and Asian products. Anusha, an associate, ruined my initial experience at this grocery store. I'm rounding down. A few Saturdays ago, after dropping off a couple of items at the Markham Household Hazardous Waste Depot, I needed to get groceries. I did something different and sought out a grocery store that I had never visited. I settled for this Walmart in Richmond Hill. This Walmart is with a bunch of box stores. I used to frequent this area often years ago. I remember when this store used to be a Sam's Club. It was extremely busy in the parking lot on a Saturday afternoon. I parked a fair distance away from the main entrance. Unlike my usual Walmart in Markham in the Boxgrove area that doesn't require any coin to unlock a shopping cart, this place requires a 25-cent deposit to unlock one. I had a quarter in my wallet and put it to good use. I will say that I like the produce section a lot. It's probably because it features Al Premium products. The celery that I got was healthy and in pristine condition. The avocados looked good. Prices were decent. The fruit section was excellent. I got strawberries and cherries. I also saw dragon fruit and lychee. What ruined my experience was Anusha, an associate. I was walking next to a long fridge. It had ended, so there was a slight gap between my cart, with me behind it, and the next fridge to my right. This woman wanted to pass me on the right side between my cart and the open fridge. Really? I'm technically pushing a cart on the right. How about pass on the left like a normal human being would have done?! Anusha was rude. She had to wait in front of the fridge, with my cart and me moving forward. Just a weird move on her part. I gave her a puzzled stare. I loved the Asian section. I got gyoza that were delicious when I heated them up at home. I got black garlic ramen that I love. This place has a ton of ramen varieties that it was almost overwhelming! A good supermarket with Asian products has to have Pei Pa Koa. This store had the large bottles. Whenever I have a sore throat that leads to a horrible cough, this product is the only one that works wonders for me. I loved seeing it here. I got snacks I grabbed a bottle of peanuts. I also got a couple of boxes of Dare cookies. There was a clearance section as I headed toward the checkout. It looked so chaotic, as if a huge fan was trying to blow all products on the display shelves and it succeeded. It was so messy that I didn't even bother looking at whatever discounts were there. Also unlike my regular Walmart in Markham, this one didn't have any humans at the checkout area to help customers cash out. Rather, the self-checkout kiosks were encouraged. I had no problem scanning my items. I then paid with a credit card. I bagged everything with my reusable bags and then headed to my car to load my purchases into it. I was parked next to the shopping cart return area. I got my quarter back. I then left. I love the products here. It sadly took a Walmart associate to ruin my experience. She needs to realize that she is representing Walmart and trying to play chicken with my cart isn't cutting it. I hope that other associates working at this store aren't like her. She dampened my shopping experience by being an impatient jerk. Should I return to this store, I hope that she's not there. (323)

Lots of parking space as the lot shares with other sotres. The lot is always half empty towards the back. The only thing I wish is that it would be close to me :)
