A bit to my own shame that I hadn't visited this place until the other day in spite of living in…read morethe same neighbourhood for years. The other evening we as a family participated in a Black history online event with Akilah Newton as presenter. We learned about the colouring/activity books she helped create in order to spread knowledge and awareness of Black Canadian heroes and history. With my knowledge (no pun intended) of this place I decided to give them a call to see if they had the books in stock, allowing me to get the books sooner, support local and also avoid shipping costs. They confirmed that they did and had the books ready for pickup when I arrived. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The store is situated an older former home in downtown Brampton that has been rezoned for commercial use - along with a few other businesses nearby. There is a reasonably large parking lot in behind. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the layout was when I entered and the size of the place and book selection were both larger than I expected. Lots of books for all ages and all sorts of genres - such as fiction, non-fiction, spirituality, body-positivity, etc... Go and check them out and help support a very unique and vital business.

In my opinion, the best afrocentric bookstore in the GTA. The selection of books is unparalleled,…read more but more than that the gifts and products make it a go to destination even when you're not in the market for a page turner. Over the years, I have enjoyed great conversations with the owners and participated in a handful of community events held in the basement space. I especially like how they host nook talks by local authors now and then. Good thriving family operated business in Brampton. Worth a visit for sure!

What a strange location…read more Despite being located in a large mall and near the centre of a major intersection (Hurontario/Bovaird), this Chapters location seems oddly out-of-the-way. Maybe it's the fact that a lot of the land isn't built up around it, maybe it was because it was nighttime, or maybe it was because the crowds I thought would be at the event I attended weren't present - whatever the case, it was a surprisingly-enjoyable experience. This was one of the rare times when I attended an event here in both a professional and personal capacity. I went out to cover a book being launched by federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh... and I also went to get my book signed, as I'm all about the bookstore experience for signing events. What I noticed walking into this location it's that, even thought it's a "chain" site for the brand, it's the little details that set this location apart. The Starbucks is fully-integrated within the store (no security scanners like the Square One location), and it's sort-of encased by bookshelves around half the chairs, which makes it much easier to sit and enjoy a drink or talk with someone in peace if you're so inclined. The kids' section is the biggest I've seen anywhere outside the Yonge/Bloor location, and I was actually a bit surprised that this site focuses a little more on style over substance, via a central "mezzanine" area". That's not to say it's lacking in books - not by a long shot - but the setup was appreciated. Service was fantastic, with a handful of female staffers at the checkout asking me if I was attending the event without my prompting, and were very friendly when I bought a copy of the book afterwards. I ended up sitting through the whole thing, and was impressed by the staff's management of the lineup and the groups going up to sign. (PROTIP: There's an older woman who attends these events, who sports long, scraggly hair and has a wiry build, who's jumped the line on at least two occasions, having done the same thing at the Sally Field signing event in downtown Toronto. Keep a look out for her if she comes back. She's a wily one.) In the end, I was very pleased to attend this location, and getting a bro-shake from Singh (along with a photo) was worth the price of getting up there. I was actually a bit disappointed with the crowd - there weren't nearly as many people as I was expecting (blame the Leafs playoff game), and the line moved exceptionally quick. Just a fun, friendly experience all around. 4/5. (P.S. I even made it to the CBC coverage of the event: cbc.ca/player/play/1504781891931)

I like this Chapters and Bovaird and Main. It's right beside…read morethe Walmart and there are a bunch of chain stores to eat at around here (Booster Juice, Second Cup). There is a Dollarama in the plaza and a Walmart. There is also a Starbucks inside this Chapters. I like the books and non-book items that you can buy here. There was a lot of selection for Valentine's day such as women's scarves, adorable tea cups, coffee mugs, cookies, and other knick knacks that you don't need but just want to buy. It's a good place to pick up presents. They have a great selection of journals at this location. Some of the staff is a bit stand offish but others are friendly. I do like this Chapters location though.

I stopped into this store, and while it's massive and it's full of stock, the store is a total mess. There are boxes on top of comic books so you can't even peruse what there is to see. I walked the store for about 10 minutes before leaving, which is disappointing.
