I am a huge fan of Banana Republic. I am not a huge fan of their prices. So I was very excited to…read moreget into the outlet store in Dartmouth Crossing. The pros: 1. Great looking clothes at deep discounts 2. Great selection in a wide variety of sizes 3. Store is attractively laid out 4. Mannequins show outfits that I never would have thought to put together 5. The email coupons- sign up for them The cons: 1. Staff seem to go out of their way to avoid helping for the most part 2. The outlet line is not quite up to the same standard as the regular retail line Overall I was very pleased with my shopping experience. Don't go in expecting to be greeted immediately at the door and assisted throughout your entire shopping experience as you are at the BR flagship stores because it's not going to happen- it is an outlet after all. The quality of the outlet line is slightly lower than the flagship line, but still on par with Gap or better. I was able to put together several outfits in under 30 minutes and left feeling as though my time there had been well spent.

I work across the street/parking lot from this store so I am in here often. Over the course of my…read morejob my wardrobe has basically become a Banana Republic closet. I am glad that it's an outlet, because not only are the prices really good, but I actually prefer their selection to that of the main store in the Shopping Center, which I feel is geared towards women about 15-20 years older than me. Being so close I've learned to wait for good sales and have scored some major deals. My only issue with the store is that I find the turnover of clothes can be a little slow, but I find the get enough new pieces in regularly to keep me coming back.

Very poor customer service experience at the Dartmouth Marshalls tonight…read more I was doing Christmas shopping and brought my own reusable bags, which I placed on the counter at checkout. The cashier scanned all of my items and did not bag anything. After paying, I asked if my items would be bagged and was told no. I was informed that staff are not allowed to bag items if customers bring their own bags and that items are only bagged if you purchase a Marshall's bag. Reusable bags are supposed to exist for environmental reasons, yet this policy feels like nothing more than a money grab. Marshall's no longer provides bags, but then refuses to bag items when customers bring their own. That makes no sense and certainly does not feel customer‑friendly, nor does it feel like its being done for the environment. Marshall's has always been one of my favorite stores, but this experience made me seriously question that and now I am wondering where customer service has gone. I have never had an experience like this at any other Marshalls location. Extremely disappointing!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I headed to Marshalls, but I was told it was "like Winners but better!". So I thought: "Okay, sounds good to me. Winners is pretty good!"and I headed out. But friends, don't be deceived - Winners and Marshalls are pretty much the same thing. (Annnd apparently they're owned by the same company) The layouts are the same, the signage is the same, the selection is the same and the staff were basically non-existent, except for the burly security guard that side-eyed everyone who walked in. Even after walking in and thinking "This looks just like Winners.", I gave it a chance. I saw so many folks walking out of the store and around Dartmouth Crossing with Marshalls bags that I thought it must have some good deals. Well, maybe. I'm a larger lady so I headed right to the plus section...or should I say the plus rack. There was one double-sided rack. There were about 20 shirts in different sizes. They were mostly black, or gray, or another dark colour, and they were just kinda enh. The pants weren't any better. I looked around, thinking maybe I was missing something, but no dice. I really found nothing there that made me excited or made me think "Ohhh! I'll be back!" Not sure what all the fuss was about, but unless I hear something better from a trusted shopping companion, I'll stick to other stores.

Moores Clothing for men was busy tonight when I went in. Looking to replace the BF suit I was…read moreactually looking for something specific. Walking about I noticed everything in line and in order neatly stacked or hung making it easy to glace the product. There were alot of suits and now they have a special on where you buy one and get the second for $100. There was actually a beautiful Calvin there for $299 Grey Pinstripe which is what I was looking for. Further on down the line I did not know that they carried jeans and casual wear for me which surprised me and good prices. Calvin jeans $98.00 which is a good deal. Thinking that Moores was more for business dress. Now just to get the BF to come with me.

So each and every time that I am in the crossing I run it to check the new stock thinking that maybe today they will have my purse for me. Loud music pumps through the store to the point that I almost have a headache before I get to the back of the store to look at the purses. Frantically trying to move through the racks of cloths that are jammed in it like a maze tot he teenagers on their cell phones not paying attention.errrrrr Sometimes when I take my niece shopping and we go to these stores keep in mind she is 11 going on 22 the size large for her it just right.

They opened the fitting room for my sister and five minutes before the store was closing they started harassing my sister and parents to leave the store because it was closing. We were not planning on staying longer than the closing time but they were kind of making us feel super bad and made us walk all around on the outside of the mall to our car. The old lady was especially rude and I would even go to say they were both racist. Kept repeating the mall is closed like we didn't understand English. Super disappointed and never shopping at the Mic Mac Hudson Bay because of this experience.

My visits to The Bay are almost exclusively for their perfume and cologne department. They have one of the widest ranges I've ever seen (making up for my first unsuccessful stop at Shoppers), the staff knows their stuff, and just about anything comes with random gifts-with-purchase that make nice add-ons to your planned Christmas shopping.

Denver Hayes and WindRiver are the signature brands sold here which includes jackets, casual & polo shirts, casual pants, footwear, and socks. While I was here, I did get some nice polo shirts on sale for $19.99, which was a fair price.
