I repeated that I felt faint. She rolled her eyes and got someone to load my buggy. He passed me off to two lovely young men who seemed to be collecting carts. They were wonderful, courteous and kind. I am so upset that there seems to be absolutely no awareness of a senior with mobility issues and feeling faint. The cashiers must be told to go as fast ass they can but I could not go fast and needed help. That will be the last time I shop at that Walmart. I havw never ben treated so badly at other Walmarts.

I went to this Walmart Supercenter recently as someone told me about a deal for an Instant Pot with…read moreAir Fryer capabilities being sold at this Walmart for $100+taxes. When I went to my local Walmart, it was being sold for $230+taxes and Walmart.ca was selling it for $130+taxes. I went there on Saturday December 5 and they were following the new government directives about the maximum number of people based on the area of the establishment. Even though there wasn't a line and I was able to enter the store immediately, besides the greeter verifying that the person sanitized their hands when entering, there was someone there with a clicker counting the number of people entering. I don't know how this would work since people were exiting at another doorway which was far enough away that the person with the clicker near the entrance was not tracking the people leaving. This Walmart Supercenter is a nicer Walmart Supercenter than the one that I normally visit in Ville Saint-Laurent. I'm not just saying that because the Walmart in Ville Saint-Laurent was selling the Instant Pot for $230+taxes but this Walmart just seemed to be cleaner and better organized. This Walmart also has a McDonald's in it which the one in Ville Saint-Laurent doesn't. I managed to find the Instant Pot that I was looking for at the special sale price and went to the self checkout aisle to pay for the purchase. Once I paid, I went towards the area where I entered and noticed it was cordoned off so people had to exit at another door. I went to the exit and the security guard at the exit verified my bill as I left (as he did with others as well). As Walmart locations go (at least with the ones that I've visited), I would say that this one is one of the better ones on the island of Montreal so I will give them 5 stars. There might be better Walmart locations in Montreal but out of the 3 that I visit occasionally, the Walmart in Lasalle (on Newman) is at the top of my list. I'm comparing this Walmart with the one in Ville Saint-Laurent, the one near Namur metro, and the one in Plaza Cote-des-Neiges (and compared to those other 3 Walmart locations, this Walmart is very good).

I especially love this location because Place Alexis Nihon also has a Winners, so one stop for 2 of my favourite stores. Truth be told, the Winners and Marshalls here are pretty indistinguishable from each other, lol. Brand names at a discount, what's not to love? I especially like their cosmetics/skincare. I often find brands sold at Sephora for a fraction of the cost. Just beware that the mascaras are sometimes dried up, but I've had good luck with all other make up items. I haven't had much luck with shoes here (ladies size 5 foot here, so not too surprising), and clothes are hit or miss. However, I still love the hunt ;) Review #19 (2025)

Same line concept where they automated voice calls out a number and they have all the same trinkets and goodies. They have a huge section for makeup so all you makeup gurus check it out.

TL;DR/The Short Version: One of the few department stores…read moreleft in Montreal. I like the pretty displays and the large selection of products. The Long Version: Full Disclosure: my rating is heavily influenced by nostalgia. I love The Bay (called La Baie in the province of Quebec). It's a Canadian department store. To be accurate, it was called The Bay from 1965-2013 (La Baie in Quebec 1972-2013). In 2013 they rebranded to Hudson's Bay/Baie d'Hudson, which I suppose brings it back to the original name of it's first store in 1881 (in Winnipeg, not this one in Montreal) which had the same name as its parent company: The Hudson's Bay Company. However, in my heart it will always be The Bay. When they rebranded, they dropped the stylized B and the yellow script for a more block letter logo in black. The stylized B in yellow script is the logo of The Bay from my childhood, so I'm so happy that this La Baie location in downtown Montreal has retained it. This location has a Coach store inside it and was where I bought my first Coach bag so many moons ago (my first bag that cost more than $30, lol). This location has also been the site of FAO Schwartz pop-up stores, where Canadians can get items from the legendary American toy store. Growing up there were so many department stores, but the likes of Eaton's and Simpsons have long closed. So I'm happy that The Bay is still around. Their regular prices are quite high, but they often have sales where their items are marked down. Those of a certain vintage will remember "The Bay Scratch and Save Days" where they gave out scratch cards (like the scratch lottery cards, lol) and you could get 10%-50% off your purchase. If you are sensitive to scents, you may want to skip their fragrances section on the main floor. Walking through is very much like those typical scenes in movies of department stores where beauty counter workers spray perfume on customers, although they don't spray it directly on you like in the movies, they spray strips of paper and give them customers. But that first floor is olfactory overload! Lol. The flagship Bay store in Toronto is my favourite, but this location in Montreal comes in second :) Review #14 (2025)

La Baie is probably the largest department store in downtown Montreal and at night is nicely lit up. Hudson's Bay (French: La Baie d'Hudson) is a Canadian luxury goods department store chain. It is the flagship brand of the Hudson's Bay Company, the oldest and longest-surviving company in North America as well as one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the World. Founded on 2 May 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company opened its first department store in 1881 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The chain operated under the company name before being rebranded to The Bay in 1965. As of August 2021, Hudson's Bay operates 86 locations in seven Canadian provinces. The full-line department stores focus on high-end fashion apparel, accessories, and home goods; flagship stores carry a bigger range and selection of goods than typical locations. The flagship stores are often multi-story, historic buildings and are located in Canada's largest cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa). So this one in Montreal is multi-story and you can spend hours browsing through all the different departments. Well stocked and well lit, it's a nice place to shop.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Large, but busy and crowded store…read more More luxury brands here than other downtown Winners locations. The Longer Version: This location is inside Place Montreal Trust. It's on the most lower level of the mall. Same level as the Food Court. It has the largest selection of luxury brands of all the downtown-ish Winners (more than the Alexis Nihon, Complexe Desjardins and Peel Winners). I spotted an Yves Saint Laurent bag for $2700. They had Gucci shoes, sunglasses and hats. Some Chloe, Ferragamo, and Valentino bags too. And other brands. Their luxury brands are locked up in glass displays so you have to get a staff member to unlock it for you. The contemporary brands like Coach, Michael Kors, Ted Baker, and Kate Spade are out and about for you to handle on your own. This location is large and has a jewelry section and children's clothing and shoes as well (these sections are the first to be cut in the smaller "urban concept" stores, and even though this location is urban it's definitely a full-sized store). It has the usual women's and men's clothing and shoes and housewares. It's also always busy and crowded. So my feelings about it are mixed. I love the size and large selection but I hate the crowds.
