I love a good video store. Bay Street survived the devastation of the industry by Blockbuster and…read moreits ilk and the slow diminishment of the physical media industry by publishers pushing their own streaming services. It's good! And the staff are friendly! Toronto has two great video shops (you can also visit Eyesore for a similar experience) and I am had we've got these two hanging in in the 21st century. You can find a variety of deep cuts and the newest from Criterion, Shout!, or Arrow. You can find films at a variety of price points. The good stuff will be a bit pricy but, seriously. Treat yo'self. They also rent films too and offer free ones too. And they have a membership card to save you down the road.

This store is where you find DVDs that you cannot find elsewhere. (Like literally every Shakespeare…read moreDVD ever made) There are some that are irreplaceable that are for rent. Be especially careful with those! They do note that they will charge you for replacement. The customer service is very good. 100% recommendation.

Came in last December to see if there were any Wii games and actually found one, then had found a few DVD flicks in the extensive library for only $5.00 each. This store has plenty of video game consoles and games at reasonable prices, along with some more rare items a bit higher. When you're in the area head on over. In the days of Blockbusters and chains going under, we must patronize these independents as often as possible.

When my Xbox live account was due for renewal I came here to get a 1-year subscription card.

They have a great selection of new and used games and any time I've been in here they're always busy. The staff are quick at getting though the line and helping every customer.

No receipt of proof of good received was given to me I was called back by the manager shortly to say that the total of $150 would be paid to me for the records. I have tried without success to get back to the store to collect the money but seemed to always be earlier than your 12 noon opening time. I finally got back into the store Today to collect the money and was given a less than welcoming response. Since I was given no receipt and the time had elapsed I was made to feel like I wasn't entitled to the money. I was told as the till bottom was gone through that there was no record of my visit and no money left for me. I operate a business and would certainly not treat my customers like I was treated. I feel it might help that you improve your system of handling product left behind by TRUSTING customers. I have been a loyal customer Of KOPs records and this has definitely changed my mind about doing business with you in the future.

The guy working the counter is super chill and welcoming, which instantly sets a great vibe the second you walk in. Honestly, the selection is insane.. they have a ton of brand-new books for basically a fraction of the regular price, so you always end up walking out with some incredible, unexpected finds. It's easily one of my favorite places to slow down and just browse whenever I'm in the area.

The people working here were also very friendly and helpful.
