The inside is newer than Dollar Giant (yay!), but the selection is mostly identical. Not too surprising. Oh, and they also pulled the "$1.25" thing. Sigh. One thing to note - they are open longer than Dollar Tree on all 7 days. Something to keep in mind.

THE WORKERS TAKE ALL THE GOOD CARS AND LEAVE THE BAD ONES! these things are also quite overpriced! 2.25 for a single car, 1.50 for a chocolate bar, and 1.75 for a can of soda! terrible place, terrible people, terrible service.

So glad there's now a decent dollar (well, $1.25) store here - most of the other "dollar stores" in…read morethis area are more like $4 stores. Parking is available along the side streets, as well as Hastings after 1800. The interior is nice and bright. The space is quite large, so they have a pretty good selection of stuff. Special mention goes to their super glue selection - they have several different sizes. They even have a pack containing a bunch of tiny tubes. Anyone who has used a larger tube before knows that it always dries out before way before you can use up the product. Staff were friendly quick. I will definitely be back.

Came here to pick up some random items…read more Parking here isn't too bad, especially after 1800. Free east side parking for teh win. The store itself is located next to some concert venue or something of that sort because the entire place was literally shaking from the noise of a couple of electric guitars and a drum set. That would've driven me nuts personally, but maybe the owners are okay with it. The lady was pretty friendly, and answered my questions on the phone. She was also able to find every item on the list. Where would we be without these stores. My only complaint is that the stuff here isn't the cheapest. It's not really a dollar store. Stuff ranged from $2-5. Yes it's still convenient, but call yourself a toonie store if you have to.

There are only a handful of dollar shops worth writing a review for and this is one of them…read more Nice owner with good communication skills and this is a bright, clean space to move around so you never have to bump into people (and get all grouchy) like some other Loonie places. This shop is very well stocked up with art and office supplies, party supplies like paper plates and cups, holiday decorations and kitchen and bath necessities. He always has current holiday supplies, cards and a good assortment of gift wrapping needs. I love the little blank books, lined and unlined for only a few dollars that are too expensive elsewhere. You could even pick up a few "stocking stuffers" for the right price here. If you're in the neighbourhood, and you remember you need some last minute things, this is your place. *Also to note, a chocolate store across the street, an excellent bakery and a fine meat shop next door.

Sometimes if you're lucky, you'll find quality fashion with huge mark down. Or sometimes if you don't mind, they have team uniforms in bulk for you to purchase for your own team! Do be prepared for limited sizes. Obviously XS and XL dominate. In fact, they even have tons of XXL, XXXL in almost every section. I find the finer quality jackets a bit higher on the price, but if you are a serious outdoorsy person, this place is good for that investment. The staff is polite and friendly. Being an outlet, there is little advice, so you should know what you're getting into before buying. All in all, good value. And if you lucky enough to live nearby, come frequently, as each month they bring in new stock (well, technically old products that couldn't sell anymore at the retail stores, but I won't tell if you won't tell.)

But the price makes up for it especially if you are not buying it for the appearance. Other items are more expensive but still reasonable and I did not observe any noticeable imperfections.

I couldn't read the sign before to review on the store, but this store is fantastic! Rice crackers,…read moresauces, mixes, Japanese rice, cold beverages, chocolates are just a few items I've picked up. They also have a card/ toy section. What stands out is from this store is, all the snacks are not the normal ones you can get from TnT, Fujiya. It's not the largest store with the most variety but it has unique products. Prices are also more competitive than the other Japanese stores. Btw, they have discounted items that are near expiring that is crazy excellent pricing and I've never had an issue with. Free street parking on the front, next to a salon, and a sports racquet store.

From the owner: We are selling imported Japanese Foods, Snacks, daily use, and toys for entertain you.read more

Overall, the quality seems to be slightly above the standard dollar store, variety but I can't say that I've ventured so far as to purchase these here. It's also a good spot to go for disposable baking tins when you don't want to splurge for the real thing. They are fast and efficient, too. No complaints here, but then again, I really don't know of any 4 star dollar stores, either.

I admit that I rage quit going to Dollar Giant for a while when they raised the price of their items to $1.25. Granted, that's only an extra $1 per four items, but I'm a hobo. I hadn't been to this one before, and Christmas Eve rolled around just in time for me to finish my boyfriend's painting and realized that the frame did not fit! It was a painting/pencil drawing on tea stained paper, so it didn't need a special frame, just an 8x12 glass frame. However, everywhere I went the frames were $30+ for being 8x12 instead of the standard 8x10. "Heck, I'll just check the dollar store!" I thought, with not much hope. What do I find? An 8x12 glass frame for that good ol' reliable $1.25! That experienced topped off my dollar store love tank, for sure. I'll note that this Dollar Giant is significantly smaller than all of the other ones I've ever been to, so it's pretty cramped and the selection is way smaller. If you're in the Commercial area, definitely go a bit out of your way to the one on the Drive instead.

Their milk is more expensive than Walmart or no frills and usually expires the next day. The staff are mean and won't give anyone a discount who clearly needs it. This non profit should be audited by the CRA because their prices are way too high and the people who it is supposed to be helping (the poor) are getting gouged for stale, overpriced, expired food. What a disappointment this place is! They wanted $5 for a 4 L milk that expires in 2 days and it is $4.27 at Walmart with a 15 day expiry date! Just SAD!

They offer a great variety of both Western and Asian fruits and vegetables, and the quality is consistently fresh and well-stocked. However, the service has definitely declined; store helpers are no longer as attentive or available as they once were. As for the ambiance, it is purely functional--bright and spacious, but it feels very industrial and can get quite hectic. It's a reliable place for groceries, but don't expect a personal or relaxed shopping experience.

Good selection but very pricey. Good ambiance as well, better than a bigger place like superstore.read more
