Review #746 The…read moreclothes are all nice here but so incredibly overpriced. Kids snow pants on sale for $60 plus. Sale! And not even the bib kind which is better for skiing etc. and ultimately lasts longer. Women's sweaters start on sale for $50 something which isn't so bad but nothing really jumps out at you. No one really offers to help and if you ask for separate bags for your gift purchases they will charge you. (Sorta strange but is this the norm here?) Then you go over to Lululemon and you feel a bit bad for Roots as not only have they won over Roots' Olympic wardrobe but they seem to have adopted their clothing line, also. So while it's fun to browse and the quality has always been top notch, for now I will take a pass.

Yes, there is a Banana Republic Factory Store in BC!…read more October officially marks that weird time of year when you can no longer wear your summer clothes, and you realize that you hate all your old winter clothes. Every day, getting dressed is a struggle, as nothing ever feels right. For those of us that hate shopping, this means that we're caught between our reluctance to hit the stores and our desire to feel fresh to death. My better half and I both struggled with these feelings for a good few weeks before we finally decided that some action was necessary - despite our fervent wishing for clothes to materialize out of nowhere, our wardrobes weren't refreshing themselves. Can't I F5 in real life? Please? Looking for classic pieces that might mitigate those fall blues in coming years, and not willing to drop a lot of coin, we were delighted to discover this recently opened factory store. We're students, but we don't want to look like slobs. Factory stores are a perfect compromise. It was a bit of a trip to South Surrey, and the "village" that this store is located in was sort of horrifying (I should mention, however, that there are many other outlets located here), but the deed was done (a smashing success!). Lots of selection for both men and women, at very reasonable prices. Classic pieces (like plain t-shirts) as well as more elaborate looks. Staff were friendly and efficient and the store was very tidy and well organized. In combination with the Give & Get sale that was going on, we managed to walk away with some excellent bargains.

Best shopping and most of the time, great deals!! Staff are quite helpful most of the…read moretime..sometimes it's hard to catch one when its so busy! It only would be really nice if fellow shoppers would return things instead of just dumping on the tables or just hang on the rack without putting it back on a hanger...

When I think of Mark's I think of construction and work clothes. But there's actually more than…read morethat, they have sportswear, medical scrubs, shoes, Levi's, and causal wear. But the construction area was fun to look at - I found a pink construction helmet! I was just browsing but I found some really comfortable peep-toe heels on sale for $30! And it's not even rainy season yet but there was a great pair of short rain boots for $40. When I went to pay for them, there was a 50% off the second pair of shoes - how did I not realize that? Anyway, happy surprise and such a good deal! Staff are friendly and helpful. If you're in the area, pop by and you might find some good deals!

There's a young man with a crop haircut and a snooty attitude who escalated a situation where a…read morecustomer had confronted him on an earlier rude phone call. The customer was rightfully upset but instead of apologizing the clerk with the attitude escalated the situation by telling the customer it wasn't ethical to use a swear word to a store clerk. Sure the customer probably should have used better language but that's besides the point. The young man caused the customers anger in the first place so he responded emotionally as I probably would have too. (This happened on the nightshift of Jan 15, 2020 @ 8:30pm). The clerk needs to lose the attitude (or maybe his job?). No one likes a punk.

Poor service and manager has no knowledge. He wouldn't let me use my nursing discount to buy the…read moreclothes. Wouldn't go here again. No wonder why the stocks are down

For someone like me visiting from the US, it's fun to come here as there are some stores that we…read moredon't have in the US, such as Purdy's Chocolates, Murchie's (tea company; https://www.murchies.com/store/about-us), Cobs Bread, and Shoppers Drug Mart. I have to say the actual mall is dated and not very uplifting with the very low ceilings. I'm sure the selection of shops is not exciting at all for people in Canada. Probably the saddest part of the mall is the food court. Three hour free parking (covered and uncovered). It's one of the closest shopping malls from the US boarder. If you're not from Canada, you might enjoy this mall as long as you come here only occasionally. Otherwise, it's probably not a mall to make a special trip to (no offense). ***************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.
