York Lanes is a small shopping mall at York University. If you are living on campus and don't feel…read morelike heading off-campus, it's a decent walk over. It has been there for eons. It has changed quite a bit since I was an undergraduate student, but feels the same. Although shops have come and gone, the York University Bookstore remains a staple. It was unfortunately closed when I was there for CRAM learning sessions at night. I like that there is a decent Shoppers Drug Mart now. I often had to visit one off-campus to get munchies, cold medication, and frankly hang out because everything was closed after my night classes had ended. At 10:30 pm, Second Cup and a few eateries were still alive and kicking. After admiring all the York University-branded sweatshirts, t-shirts, water bottles, and more, I need to come back and get something. I don't have much gear as an alumna! There is a decent parking lot on Vanier Lane where you can park your car. It's $8 if you park after 6 pm on weeknights and is good until 6 am the following day. It's cheaper on weekend with flat rates. You pay at one of the most sophisticated parking machines I have ever used. It accepts coins, credit and debit cards, bank cards, and YU-Card if you are a student. Yes! I used my bank card and the transaction was seamless. There is a walkway between this parking lot and York Lanes. The parking lot ismonitored, which is positive and reassuring. I had no problems here, as I spent nearly four hours on campus. I will return to get my York U. gear. It felt the same being here, even with the change in stores and look. (123)

I recently stayed in Vaughan for one night, close to the Brampton border. I was looking for a place…read moreto buy bubble tea for lunch the following day and found out that there's a bubble tea place at Westwood Square. I ventured out to this mall. I know this mall as Westwood Mall. When I worked at the old location of my current employer, I'd often drive up Goreway Drive to head home, and dropped by this mall now and again. It has been a good decade since I was last in this mall and it has changed. It used to be anchored by a Walmart. It was gone, which saddened me. It was a decent store that served this neighbourhood well. These days, you have Shoppers Drug Mart and Fresh Co. anchoring this mall. I do like the latter. The produce is fresh and it's a clean store that always has everything that I need. Although it looks nicer inside, it's a weird assortment of stores. I recognized the Scotiabank and that was it. Most are local. You get everything from luggage to cell phone accessories. The food court is on the second floor. It was where my bubble tea place is, but I never got that far. I ultimately got my beverages from Westwood Convenience on the main floor. Several people have mentioned that this mall has a sketchy vibe to it. I'd have to agree. The woman in front of me at the convenience store seemed incredibly out of it. She was looking for wrappers for her smokes. I couldn't tell whether she was in the lineup to pay. Frankly, I didn't think she knew, either! I'd return for Fresh Co. You can shop at this supermarket without going into the mall itself, which is what I like. Other than that, it serves the local community. However, it's such a shame that the Walmart is gone and folks need to drive further to find another one. (257)

I came to Yorkgate Mall two Saturdays ago to pick up dinner at China Wok Super Chinese Food. Due to…read morethe pandemic and my comfort level being in malls, I didn't walk the entire place. The mall is an older one. There is lots of construction happening outside, which can be a bit challenging when entering and exiting the parking lot. It was pretty busy traffic-wise along Finch Avenue West when I pulled in. This mall is at Jane and Finch. It has a bad rap for being a rough area. However, it felt pretty safe when I was here. Things seem to have changed. I entered from what I believe is one of the two mall entrances. This one was closest to Finch Avenue West. I walked up a flight of stairs to get to the food court. The chairs and tables have been removed, but the light coming through the glass was nice. Only Caribbean Cuisine and China Wok were open when I got there at 5:30 pm. The top floor across from the food court has Seneca College, Ziwa Cell Phone and Computers, and Shiv's Jewellery. When I entered the mall from the main level, Tim Hortons was buzzing with business. The York Woods public library is further down, but has been closed during this pandemic. This mall does have businesses that interest me. There's an LCBO, No Frills, Dollarama, Harvey's, and Bulk Food Mart. I'd like to return when I'm ready to shop and check them out. It's a good mall for my needs. If I were a local, I'd be content with the store selection at this mall. There was plenty of parking. (117)

The store features a standard selection of groceries, electronics, and clothing, making it a convenient one-stop shop for quick errands. However, the experience is frequently hindered by long checkout lines and understaffed registers during peak hours. Stock availability can also be hit-or-miss, with popular items occasionally cleared off the shelves. While the prices remain predictably budget-friendly, the messy aisles and minimal customer service mean it is best suited for quick, independent runs rather than an enjoyable shopping trip

This is despicable customer service and absolutely disgusting that this store and company would not train people to assist customers. Some of these Indian staff act like we're inconveniencing them and have ZERO customer service or manners. To this store and company, fix it or only hire staff that will not further lower your image. Also, don't be surprised if your store/company begins losing business as a result of this.They never smile, say thanks, say hello, or have a good day.

(see my separate review) There is an Indian gift shop that sells Hindu art and CDs, and a store with Afro-centric jewelery and clothes. Do you need gold, door-knocker earrings? You have come to the right place. There used to be a big department store here called "Walia-Mart" (why yes the logo DID look familiar). Now it is called "Home Target".

Tinneil's Patties I think. That department store was called Walia-Mart, then Home Target, now Home Variety. Word around the mall is the keep going bankrupt and changing Company name so they can stay in business and still "steal" from their suppliers without having to pay them. It also looks like they just copy what everyone else in the mall has, so I avoid them. Happy Shopping.

Check the box and you will notice that everything is replicated to match the original with the exception that the 'FINISHING TOUCH' BRANDING IS NOTICEABLY MISSING on the ones being sold here, that is why it is $5.99. (They falsely advertise it like the real thing, listing its regular / retail cost as $29.99) I unfortunately and wrongfully assumed that they would be selling legitimate brands / items and just purchased a couple of items from them but upon close examination of the Flawless hair remover and comparing it to the real one after I came home, I realized I had been bamboozled and I now question and have to double check everything else I purchased from them. Not that I can return anything because of their "all sales are final" policy. I took the time to write this to caution the public so others are aware as I would have liked to be prior to visiting this place. As I mentioned, this was the first item I checked; I am still yet to closely examine / verify the other "branded" items I purchased from them.
