It was a warmish early summer day, the rain spitting. I was cruising down the convergence of Lake…read moreOntario and the St. Lawrence River on the Island Belle, off the shore of Kingston, Ontario. At that moment, I was thinking I was in the perfect place for lightweight, water-repellent outdoor clothes. Luckily for Kingstonians, just a sturdy 30-minute walk to their Columbia Sportswear store at the King's Crossing Fashion Outlets. It's all here ... the raincoats, the winter coats, the hiking shoes, the polo shirts, the shorts, the other multitudes of outerwear and sportswear, the camping stuff, and the rest. When you go to an outlet store like this, the BIGGEST deals are on the off-season stuff ... so here in June, you're getting the requisite 30-60% off, and the clearance on top of that. Yes, there are always deals here, but they are off the highest retail price you'd never pay. Still, the quality is high and the options are in abundance. IMHO, the best clothing options at the King's Crossing Outlets are doing here at Columbia. Get to Columbia, Kingstonians ... then get out on the water!

I do miss shopping at Eddie Bauer. I didn't buy much at regular locations in malls. Rather, I loved…read morethe Eddie Bauer outlet that used to be off Weston Road in Vaughan. The deals were fantastic! Once it closed down, I have ceased shopping at Eddie Bauer. Luckily, there are Eddie Bauer outlets in Vaughan Mills and Toronto Premium Outlets. I just haven't been as loyal a shopper as I used to be. I saw this store and decided to check out the merchandise. I liked a pair of cargo shorts and decided to try them on. They were on sale. They didn't fit great. Thank goodness for change rooms. I put them back and called it good. No staff member came over to say hi. It wasn't all that busy. Perhaps they were waking up on a Sunday morning. (341)

I am in Cobourg once a month and I always make a point of stopping in at this outdoors store. The…read morestaff are always friendly and there is a fair selection in this tiny store (as well as a fairly large sale rack for clothing and shoes). Always lots of seasonal clothing, camping gear (knapsacks, stoves, etc) and some gifty items. Presently during the winter months they also carry skiis and snowshoes and during the summer they rent bikes and canoes/kayaks. Definitely the best outdoors store in the area.

Called and asked some questions regarding bmx parts while visiting Peterborough, was given certain…read moreanswers that turned out not to be correct, bad attitude from certain employees due to their opinions about people who you ride with, very rude and technically hate speech comments being made when staff thinking think people could over hear. Refusal to use spokes of customers desired brands, incorrect answers to parts compatibility and numerous other issues. It's almost like they hired all the local bmx riders who know nothing and don't care at all unless its exactly what they like and are interested in. Among other issues. I wouldn't buy a bike here at all. Not even mtb side but I'd certainly avoid it bmx wise. Also know of them seeking staff and refusing locals who are knowledgeable in the industry and involved with brands and owners due to looks and supposedly looking like the f bomb used as a derogatory term to certain groups. Among other inappropriate and unprofessional issues. As well as blatant importer repaired on purpose or purposeful lack of proper repairs and maintenance jobs to my friends bikes. I'm out the cost of a set of cranks and sprocket. Or a titanium spindle and set of spindle bolts. And one of my friends is out the equivalent of hundreds of dollars on wheel work on one set of wheels. Let alone the effort or having to get a manufacturer to solve an issue caused by this shop. Refused to process warranty. Distro requires the shop to handle warranty. Told to reach out himself and ignored. Then told my the Distro they can't process anything unless the shop submits the warranty claim. I've worked in numerous shops including globally recognized shops. Very unprofessional. Stop selling bikes if you want to act like a big box store. Or act like a proper retailer if you want to sell bikes. And cut it with the hate speech bs. And get a hold of your employees. Racism and numerous other inappropriate comments were heard. If it wouldn't have wasted more of my time in a crap store I'd have reported it.
