Their staff is nice- Vickie is my favourite. She works for the client and can find the little gem you missed as you pushed aside hangers. They have good sales- they don't just discount the stuff nobody wants.(Although there isn't much of that here)When i have out-of-town visitors- I always bring them here- and for the most part-they don't leave empty-handed. There are alot of shops downtown that cater to the twenty year olds- this one carries stylish but affordable designs for their moms!

And this location only carries end of the Season item and calling itself Loft - The Sale Shop! And surprisingly the merchandise is well organized and I do not have a feeling that I am shopping in a thrift store. Since it is relatively new, the sale staff here was really helpful. Selection wise though was a little boring, but I ended up picking up a scarf and a top. Please note all sales are final: no refund no exchange!

Have never been pleased with this particular Loft. I rarely go to a Loft store and leave…read moreempty-handed, but I never seem to find any treasures in this store. I still visit it when I'm in the mall, but usually find better choices at Forever XXI or Banana Republic. Service is inconsistent and depends on who's serving you and what mood they are in that day. Not worth the trip for me but others may be luckier.

Gail and her team are extraordinary. First of all, if you know clothing, you know that they carry…read morevery good brands at affordable prices. And their pieces wear beautifully. They care about giving people quality at an affordable price. Second of all, they're very honest. They will tell you honestly if they don't think something suits you -- a bad colour, the wrong size, a bad shape for what you've said you want to accomplish. They would rather you come back to them because you know you will walk out looking great than make a fast sale now regardless of how you look. They're good people who sell quality clothing at an affordable price.

This store doesn't have everything in stock that the online store has, it's a lot smaller than the Yonge/Dundas location.

I'm a fan of the general Guess style and while I enjoy shopping at all their locations I do enjoy…read moreshopping at this particular store because the staff have always been fabulous, not getting in my way if I'm just browsing or being super helpful if I need them. But their store at Yonge and Dundas is as great with perhaps a better inventory. I agree with Lauren in that it is less busy than the Yonge and Dundas store which I prefer, and I have no real problem with them having a smaller inventory than the other downtown store. I wouldn't say that it offers anything extraordinary that is not seen in other stores, they have a sale section that can see you grab some nifty swag for the $20 price range, and most of their newer styles will cost you closer to a $100 (I'm talking about the guy options here), but I've always been happy with my Guess purchases. It is the friendly staff that make me enjoy walking in here so if you're strolling around Queen St W, it wouldn't hurt for you to pop in to this store.

Each change of season I go out of my way to update my son's wardrobe here. Now with back to school looming I have again refreshed his closet for under $200.00. I highly recommend this place to all. Unlike the others you find in malls this place is huge. Even got a Varsity coat for $20.00. Nice for fall and my son loves it. The only trouble I consistently have here is the lack of staff to offer assistance. Have to go looking for them. But, small price to pay for the great deals I always find.
