I was at Promenade Mall for the first time in several years. I used to frequent this mall often when it had a Cinnaholic. Since its permanent closure, I haven't been back. However, a few businesses have lured me in, such as Jollibee and this Roots store.
I used to be a mall person. I don't frequent them as often as I used to. However, I was heading to the food court to figure out what was there. On my way over, I spotted this Roots store. I decided to check it out.
I love the French terry line of sweatshirts. They remind me of wearing a mint green French terry sweatshirt from Fairweather when I was in high school.
Roots is a reminder of my youth. I got my first sweatshirt and t-shirt from Roots in grade 8. I saved up for both. I've also owned a few small purses and a backpack from this store.
These days, I'm into its line of beaver plushies. It all started when I was at a Roots store in Ottawa. I got a beaver plushie wearing a Beaver Canoe hoodie.
I recently looked at the line of beaver plushies online. The FIFA version has sold out. However, I saw so many other versions online that I needed to witness them in person.
I walked in and was immediately greeted by an enthusiastic female staffer with another female peer. So nice!
I got to touch the French terry sweatshirts and sweatpants. I also loved seeing ringer t-shirts with the original Roots logo.
I found two styles of beaver plushies. One had a grey hoodie on. The other had a floral pattern. So adorable!
The cheerful female associate said that there were more beaver plushies. She pulled out a drawer with the cutest beaver plushies all staring at me.
I love hockey. There were two hockey beaver plushies. One was reduced by $8. The other was not.
Being who I am, I analyzed both plushies. No defects on either of them. I don't know why one was discounted and the other wasn't. I went with the sale one. I kept the grey hoodie one that I fell in love with.
There was an additional 20% off my plushies. They helped pay for the tax and then some.
When I was ready to pay for my items, the other nice woman asked if I had an e-mail address with them. It had been a while since I shopped at Roots. I gave them the one that I thought would be the one that was associated with my Roots account. She found me. Yay!
I got a reusable bag for my beaver plushies. I forgot that Roots always gives you one with every purchase. I thanked both of them and left.
I'm happy with my purchases. It was great stopping by this store.
