My dear friend and I met in Whitby to catch up. She lives in Peterborough. I was working from home…read morea couple of Wednesdays ago. Unfortunately, I had a teleconference to join late in the day at fairly short notice. It should have ended at 4:30 pm. Due to folks who cannot stop talking, I indicated that I had to leave at 4:45 pm. I was meeting my friend at 6:00 pm. Sure enough, traffic along the 401 going eastbound was bad. I took myself off the highway at around Ajax and did my usual backroad routine and got there on time. This Winners is in a spacious plaza with tons of parking. It's between two Swedish stores: JYSK and IKEA. I parked and went in. Naturally, after downing an iced black tea, my bladder needed attention. The washroom is located in the back right corner. It's perfectly clean and stocked. My friend texted me moments later. We found each other and spent 1.5 hours in this store. This Winners is well-organized. I saw everything from BB-8 lunch bags to USB type C cables. The latter seems to be a welcoming trend for folks like me. We were browsing in the women's shoe section. I was pleased with the number of size 11 shoes. I had picked up a pair to look at and put them down. Somehow, it triggered the alarm to go off about a minute later. It was odd. Luckily, there was a staff member there. I pointed the shoes out and she went to disengage the alarm. I made a humourous remark about my luck setting off alarms being a law-abiding shopper, which made my friend and another shopper laugh. If you think you're going to do well shoplifting at this store, think again. I ended up getting a set of five charcoal masks for $7. You put it on your cleansed face, wait 20 minutes, peel it off, and then wash your face. No, I am not posting any pics of me and the mask. No one wants to see the female Asian version of Phantom of the Opera, except for my clearer skin and unclogged pores. My friend is a dogwalker and got a bunch of doggie poop bags. She indicated that they are high quality and a decent price. The lineup was a bit long, but we were chatting so much that we didn't feel like we were waiting for ages. I had a great cashier who was efficient and friendly. There were issues trying to get my card to work. She pointed out that the card machine was finicky, but all was well at long last. I like this Winners a lot. There was plenty of items to find at decent prices. (277)

Wow, I get to be the first to review a place!?!…read more I feel the same way as in my Da Maria review about letting the secret out about this little gem of a store. I discovered this place B.Y. (before Yelp) this January when I was on my winter boot quest. All the cool kids were sporting Sorels and I wanted a pair too. But I wasn't cool enough to know to buy in the fall, before there was actually snow on the ground. The usual places (Get Outside, Sporting Life) were completely out of my size in the style I wanted (which, if you are wondering, is not the funky pink and black houndstooth with neon laces - again, I'm not that cool). Circle Shoes seems to be a family-owned shop and sort of no-frills especially compared to the rest of the boutique-y places you find along this end of Yonge. They had ample selection of styles and sizes and the proprietor knew her stuff and brought me a few choices in similar styles in my size quickly and without the requisite eye-roll/trudge down to the stockroom I encountered at other places. They keep their stock in the back of the store. They carry lots of brand names including Uggs and Birkenstocks. Worth the trip uptown!
