Last Sunday, I stopped by this Roots to browse. I didn't buy anything, as I had recently bought a…read moret-shirt that I had wanted at a similar Roots outlet in Ottawa. This store had cool items, such as a Beaver water tube. It was quirky and fun. I liked the shorts that were there. Sadly, they weren't on sale. It's probably one reason why this Roots store wasn't as fabulous as the last one that I was at. The sale prices weren't amazing on the items that I loved. The shoe section was a bit disappointing. There were simply two styles available. My experience was okay. If there are more discounted items in future, I will be there in a heartbeat! (259)

I have shopped here twice. The first time was in April 2015. I noticed this outlet area while…read moredriving over to Montreal and made a mental note to visit. I revisited the outlet again last September. I am a Gap girl. I like the fact that I can get casual clothing at decent, reduced prices at any Gap outlet. This one is no exception. Both times, I bought some wonderful pieces. I fondly recall getting a jean skirt that had wonderful Lycra stretch to it. I got it for $10! The last time I was there, I got many nice articles of clothing, including a lightweight t-shirt that had various attractions in San Francisco, and a navy blue knitted cardigan with a hoodie. The first time I was there, I recall the male staff member cashing me out and how friendly he was. I bought a lot of items, but didn't break the bank. He gave me $50 worth of Gap cash, which you can redeem a bit later. I redeemed the $50 at the Gap outlet in Ajax. The woman there thought it was cool to see Gap cash entirely in French! I had the same experience the last time I was at the outlet. The woman was friendly and helpful. I love this location. It is my go-to place when I am nearby. (30)

This Gap was advised to me by a local friend. Its a well kept secret that only locals know about? I…read moredont know and I dont care, because Ill tell you all about it. I came in time of no extra sales but everything was generally 30% off compared to other stores. They have a well equipped women's, children's and man section. I saw some maternity items, but no gym clothes. Clearance items were not as many as I expected from other stores. I got some great mans shirts, that I wasnt willing to pay full price for in the store downtown. Other great thing I didnt know about: If you own a special Gap Bag, you get another 15% off on all the items, just ask at the register!

I have been to Les Avenues Vaudreuil a grand total of three times and didn't notice that there was…read morea Winners until this visit. Was it always there? Or, did I completely miss it because I wanted to hit the Gap outlet all three times? I have no idea. I got a decent parking spot and went into this Winners. It has an excellent assortment of phone accessories. Part of me wanted to get a purple USB-C cable. I don't have a purple one. I passed, as I do have enough of these cables for my needs. The kitchen gadgets are great, too. I managed to get a pineapple tea infuser. It's silicone, cute, and $3. When I paid for it at the checkout, the nice woman and I had a talk about tea and how stinking cute this tea infuser was. I am pleased that the Winners stores out east have a colourful assortment of Kipling bags. I spotted a pink Kipling backpack at this store. It is rare. I don't need one, but it was nice to take a photo of it. The selection of size 11 shoes at this Winners is impressive. I didn't need another pair of Converse sneakers. I do know that the variety is pretty good. This store has washrooms. They are at the back of the store, on the right when you walk through the main entrance. This Winners is next to Forever 21. Both stores are away from the long, connected set of box stores. (249)

This place is awful. I brought three pieces of clothing: one required very simple alterations, and…read morewas done okay, but two required more extensive work. A pair of pants I asked to have taken in at the waist and legs came back with one leg too tight and the other even tighter. There was a difference of almost 3/4 of an inch in the taper. I insisted they be fixed, and the second attempt wasn't much better. I also brought a vintage coat from the 30s to find out if it was worth modernizing. The tailor assured me the fabric was hugely expensive wool. I told him I'd want to get the coat cleaned first to make sure it would look good, and he told me not to worry; he was going to take care of everything. When I asked if he was sure, he told me "Please, I'm here 30 years..." Well, when I got the coat back, looked like it had been sewn by a student, and it was just as unclean as it had been when I dropped it off. I brought it to a dry cleaner and the stains, as I suspected, could not be lifted. Also, the coat wasn't wool. The shop needs more craftsmanship and less con.
