The prices aren't ridiculous either and if you go now you can buy a whole bunch of World Cup South Africa stuff for super cheap!

Been playing beach volleyball for the last year and haven't gotten an authentic ball yet. We had…read moreoriginally purchased a cheap volleyball from Walmart but the stitches have started to come out after less than a year. Of course you get what you pay for. Went here as two acquaintances had only good things to say about Canuck Stuff. The prices for the official balls were also lower than places such as Sports Check etc. They sell anything related to volleyball, badminton, etc. The store was quite busy as there were a ton of people checking out shoes and other misc. things. One of the staff Mike was very helpful and helped me find the ball I needed. He asked if it's for outdoor beach and I had said yes. He actually recommended the Mikasa ball which our friend had told us about. I know there were a ton of outdoor beach vballs but we were already set on a particular one. The official Wilson AVP was $44.95. Places selling this usually charge up to $60 range. The price was low at Canuck Stuff as the ball comes flat and doesn't come in a box (they pump it up for you), but rather a light plastic bag to keep it clean & comes with a cloth bag. That's fine with me! Better for the environment. Mike was very patient and kind. Even though he was super busy, he took the time to find the ball as well as answer my questions. He also added a little extra air to the ball and later told me to let some out as it was to help with the shape since it had come inflated. Great service and product. We will definitely be back for any volleyball or badminton equipment. Parking might be tricky on a weekend but I was lucky and found a spot. The store is at the right end of the plaza.

Tip: Earn and redeem your CT money at this store…read more I was looking for a SportChek store to redeem my CT money. As I was driving home from work, I remembered this store at Cachet Centre that I had never been to. Perfect! This store is closer to Woodbine Avenue. There was lots of parking in front of the store. I pulled into a spot and walked in. The women's clothing section was to my right. I checked it out first. I liked seeing sandals and summery clothing. The clearance items are closer to the fitting rooms. I found a waterproof jacket with a hoodie that was $20 off. It fit well. I loved the colour. I said yes. I was looking at Blue Jays and Tempo clothing. I wanted to get the latter, to support our new WNBA franchise, but I didn't find anything that I liked in my size. Either I would be drowning wearing oversized men's or barely breathing in the women's t-shirts. A man by the shoe section asked if I needed any help. It was nice. It happened maybe ten minutes into my shopping experience. I was good browsing, but thanked him and I continued to explore. I saw a sign for washrooms next to the shoe section, but it was blocked off. You may have better luck at the Tim Hortons across from this store if you do need to use a washroom nearby. I headed to the checkout area. I got a nice, cheerful woman who asked how I was. It was good. I reciprocated. She was having a great day. I asked if I could use my CT money towards my purchase. She nodded and scanned my barcode off my phone. I also donated $2 to Jumpstart, which is Canadian Tire's national charity that helps kids from families in financial need overcome financial and accessibility barriers to participate in sports and recreation. It was my first time making a donation towards this charity. It was nice spending my CT money on an item that I liked. I have hoodies that are not waterproof, so it's nice to finally have one that does. I liked shopping here. I'd return when I'm in the area. Service is great and I liked the clearance section. (228)

I came here a few times already and bought three jerseys so far, Honda AC Milan Home Jersey, Aguero Manchester City Away Jersey (Black) and the Kagawa Japan National Team Jersey. I was very happy with all my experiences here. First of all, this store sells a lot of authentic jerseys from all the big teams you can think of in EPL, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1, MLS, Bundesliga. On top of their wide selections of jerseys, they also have a very complete stock of different soccer equipments. Secondly, the staff in the store are very friendly and you can tell they do enjoy watching or playing soccer. You can literally talk about soccer to the sales for hours given you have the time to kill!! Most important of all, they demonstrated to me what great customer experience is all about. I remember in January, Honda was just signed by AC Milan, as a big Japanese soccer fan, I immediately called and asked if they have the Honda jersey in stock. They advised me they have the jersey but not the name kit yet, however, they can order for me and can give me a call when they arrive. Two weeks later, I got a call and was advised the name kit arrived and asked if i was still interested. I immediately drove to the store and made my purchase. Remember what your client wanted and making that follow up call is what great customer experience is all about! If you are looking for soccer gears, make sure you come to this location!! If you are a big soccer fan like me, you can also join their VIP membership for $20 a year and you get 15% off on all regular priced items and earn points that can be redeemed as cash for future purchases! Well worth it if you purchase a lot of soccer gears.

To sum it all up it's a one stop shop for the footballer or footballer fan.

Tip: This store has huge discounts on authentic sports apparel…read more For the longest time, I have wanted a Blue Jays jersey. When my friend from grade 7 and her husband had tied the knot several years ago, they wore matching Blue Jays jerseys (classic white home ones) to officially mark that they were a married couple. I went to a Jays game a few month back as part of a work event. I visited the Jays store. I found lots of jerseys. They were expensive starting at $300. I ended up getting a t-shirt that was more my price point. The Shopping Channel is running a sale on Jays apparel. There's a 15% discount. I found a jersey that I liked. It was $249. It was still ridiculously expensive for me to splurge. My goal: Find a Jays jersey that doesn't break the bank. I did a search. I found SVP Sports selling the same Jays jersey for $159. Nice! I didn't buy it online. I saw that this store had many jerseys available. I decided to pay this store a visit last Friday night. The SVP Sports store used to be at Woodside Square. It has since moved to a larger location at McCowan Road and Milner Avenue. It's in a plaza with Winners, Starbucks, Mr Sub, and more. It was raining. I parked fairly close to the building. I then walked into the store. Happiness was seeing powder blue jerseys on my right. They were indeed authentic Blue Jays jerseys. Yay! The original price was $200. It was indeed marked down to $159. There was a further reduction. This jersey was going for $79. One word: Wow! I wanted a jersey without any player's number on the back. I tried on two different sizes. As I was trying one of them on, a female sales associate asked if I needed any help. I let her know that I was okay trying on one of the jerseys. She was being helpful. I frankly wanted to be left alone to figure out my size. Sometimes, it's better to let the customer tell you whether she needs assistance and to leave her be. I found the jersey of my dreams. I was elated! There are change rooms at this store. I didn't need one, as it was easy to try on a jersey over my t-shirt that I was wearing. This store has a lot of merchandise that is heavily discounted. I saw NHL caps of all Canadian teams. It hit me that I don't own a Winnipeg Jets cap. I got one for $19. Unheard of! I lined up at the checkout. There were cameras everywhere. I suppose that prices are so cheap on sports clothing, caps, backpacks, and more that theft is an issue. I got a nice woman at the checkout. She asked if anyone had helped me. I said no. She apologized. She didn't need to. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was great. She let me know what the score was between the Jays and Mariners. It was game 5 in Seattle, with the Mariners leading by 1. Sadly, the Jays lost this game. However, the team ended up winning the entire series. I love my jersey and cap. They are comfy to wear and I didn't break the bank. I'd return for the deals. They are great. The quality of my purchases was excellent. (387)

I would not say it feels like shopping at Value Village, but you did need to go through a lot of merchandise to find something that you might want to pay for it. Security measure here is quite high. Seems like shoplifting has been a big problem for management?

Tucked deep away inside an outdoor plaza complex at the northwest corner of Highway 7 and West Beaver Creek, the location is small, but not overcrowded, so you'll surely find what you need and want. Many military paraphernalia on sale are much cheaper than many army surplus stores in Toronto. Creative stocks many other new outdoor and tactical gear at decent prices. Perhaps you could also be interested in a riot helmet to go along with a machete? Mad props to the man running the store, who is not only very friendly and accommodating, he is not an intimidating military-obsessed nut (as army surplus stores tend to be staffed by military fanatics). {YRT: probably simplest to use VIVA purple line to West Beaver Creek}
