The store has taken over the entire space Rona used to be, making it incredibly large. With slight exaggeration, you could get 10k steps in just looking around. There are a wide variety of goods being offered, and the prices are often even cheaper than Dollarama (though some stuff is kinda overpriced in comparison, like $30 kitchen shelves?) so I guess they win some lose some. I found some really good deals for plates, kitchenware, hair accessories, stationary, and foam rollers. Since the place is so big, it's hard to find a worker, and even if you find someone, they likely will not know the answer. It's okay though... explore away!

After the crazy/busy lineups and hype, we finally made it here. The store is incredibly huge, with…read morelong aisles of practically everything you can think of. We saw unique items like wheels for lawnmowers and bikes. There are also cosmetics, housewares, stationery supplies, etc. The store is quite messy, though, with many aisles that need cleaning and reorganizing, and imo, the quality is much lower than Dollarama or Dollar Tree. The parking lot is huge, and the store wasn't overly busy for a weekend afternoon.

I first discovered Uncle Terry's from the Ex. From their name and branding it gives an impression…read morethat they've been around for a while (give me a bit of Honest Ed's feel, I don't know why) but it's actually been about 2 years and this location near Kensington Market being their newest. When you come in, it does give a slight attic smell, which I don't mind. They told me they usually restock on Thursdays and the other location by Sterling Road usually carries even more inventory. I purchased a shiatsu massager and back up Aukey earphones that were new in package from the Ex. However, the earphones didn't work. The great thing is they are one of the few or probably only liquidators that I know that allows for a 7 day return if there's an issue. Normally most discount liquidators I've been to, it's pretty much the final sale. I wasn't able to visit within 7 days, but did send them an email with the issue with the earphones so they extended the warranty for me to come in within the end of the month to get store credit or exchange, which I'm so grateful for. Apparently they sold hundreds of those earphones and only a few came back with issues. I was able to drop by yesterday after work and decided to exchange for another shiatsu massager for my in-laws. What I appreciate about this spot is that it's relatively organized in shelves with multiple copies of an item. There are bargain bins too for $5 if you really want to search for any deals and treasures. I much prefer than other liquidators where usually things are thrown in bins and you don't know exactly what it is until you open it. The staff there was also super patient and friendly. Definitely if you're in the area peek in and see if you score any deals. They will be moving back inventory from the Ex today and the pricing seems to be the same. Though they might offer tax off discounts with cash at the Ex but not at the store.

In-store Ghost Kitchen Pizza review only: Noticed a new…read moresection of the Walmart at Dufferin Mall offering made-to-order pizza and found out it was really "Ghost Kitchens" leasing space to sell pizza. Was told by worker that they could give me almost unlimited quantity of toppings (primarily cheese) offered by them, for no extra charge. Pies are 16" with Plain/"Cheese" $9.99, "Veggie" & "Pepperoni" $10.99, and "Deluxe" for $11.99, and no extra charges beyond that for "double," "triple," or more in quantity of toppings. Tried the "Veggie" with slightly more than "quadruple" cheese and was generally underwhelmed. "Veggie" comes with red & green peppers, black olives, and mushrooms. Mine had no mushrooms due to unavailability. Price still was $10.99. The dough tasted bland and underdone. Not much air pockets. Sauce was watery and also dull. Cheese was great in quantity but not with any intricacies in flavors. The oven used is the tiniest conveyor belt oven we've witnessed (pictured, on table). This could be the source of a lackluster pie... Would recommend ordering with sparse toppings and possibly 2 turns through their conveyor belt oven. If compared to Costco pizza ($12.99 for "Pepperoni" and "Cheese" pizza with generous quantity of cheese and/or pepperoni), Costco was generally superior in all but price. The good thing about this Walmart/Ghost Kitchen pizza is the low price for "Veggie," and "Deluxe" pies, at 16" for $11.99 or less with practically unlimited topping quantities at no extra charge beyond base pizza price (something Costco doesnt offer). Slices are available ($2.99 each, $3.49 for "Deluxe.").

First time at the new store at least 3 weeks ago…read more Store looks great. Went to the wall at the back immediately as I was look for new shoes. I'm worked in retail when I was still in school I get service industry but I hate dumb / inefficient sales people. I'm looking at the wall of shoes and 2 sales guys are right in front of me. I'm trying to look behind them and they finally stopped their chit chat and greeted me and asked if they can help me with anything. I said hi and asked them if they can move so I can see the shoes behind them. I'm really rolling my eyes. Then I moved to the left at to look at the Jordan's. There were two colour ways Jordan 1 mids. The more muscular sales approached me and started telling me they are selling really well. He assumed I have no idea what I was looking and proceeded telling me there might be no sizes and they sell well and the resale market is crazy. I'm thinking in mg head, "Boy, I actually watched Jordan, Pippen, Drexler games when I was a kid. I still have a pair of Jordans from my high school years. I know how Jordan and the brand." Told him my size and asked him to bring both colour ways if he has them. Well he checked one, came out, stopped to talk to an different sales person between me and him about something else before he got to me to say he doesn't have the size. Dude, you can just tell me and not make me wait! Anyways, we figured out we miscommunicated the wrong size and he'll look again. He came back out with 1, forgot to check on the other colour again. He is with this 2nd sales rep who is clearly more seasoned, older with a moustache. We chatted and he noticed my frustration with the younger sales. Younger sales came back no luck with the other colour way. I'm struggle to undo the laces to try it on... the kid is yapping with the older sales in front of me. The older rep noticed I'm having trouble and he started helping me with the shoes while the kid is just standing there. The floor manager really need to train these kids. I get you guys wanna hang out but you are terrible at your job. I wanted to shop more but I don't want to give this sales guy his sales quota and numbers. He does not deserve it. Cashiers were nice and friendly. Wanted to explore the store and get stuff for my friend's kid and possibly buy more but definitely don't want to be served by this kid again even the guy at the KitKat store is so much better, friendly, smart with product knowledge and sold better.

Since then, this bubble tea franchise has shut down in the GTA. Chung Chun Rice Dog has taken over this spot. This change explains Skycity in a nutshell. There is a high concentration of bubble tea shops at Skycity. Competition is fierce. I was recently here, thinking that I should get some bubble tea. I actually couldn't decide because the selection was insane and proceeded with my errands instead... haha! I tend to visit Chatime the most here to get my bubble tea fix. Apart from an oversaturation of bubble tea stores, this place has a ton of food. I feel like it'll take me years to eat my way through this place. I recently visited Chung Chun and had an excellent experience. I love their Korean rice dogs and I'm thrilled that this location is a lot closer to me than heading over to North York to satisfy my cravings. My local Cheese Garden is here. I like that I can order online and drop by to pick up my goods. There are benches scattered around the plaza in case you are in a food coma after stuffing yourself to rest or take a nap. There is plenty of parking, although it does getting busy at night. Many eateries and bubble tea places open till 11:30 pm or midnight. There are other businesses, such as electronic stores, nail salons, and more. I have yet to make a dent in these categories here. The catch is that when you exit onto Midland, you can only turn right. Although it's convenient for me to turn left and head home, I don't mind cycling around the block to get home. It's safer considering how weird drivers can be around this area. One of these days, I will visit every bubble tea place here. The problem is that I have my usual places in Markham that it's tough to break decent habits. (342)

The store features a standard selection of groceries, electronics, and clothing, making it a convenient one-stop shop for quick errands. However, the experience is frequently hindered by long checkout lines and understaffed registers during peak hours.

While the prices remain predictably budget-friendly, the messy aisles and minimal customer service mean it is best suited for quick, independent runs rather than an enjoyable shopping trip

The last time I was here was yesterday for their October 2016 sale. I went on the last day of the October sale, and I found that the selection wasn't as good as from their sales about a year ago. First off, there wasn't much selection for women, and a lot of their merchandise are for guys. Last year, I was able to find a $10 warm hoodie, but now, the cheapest one I could find was $40 and I got the last piece with my right size. My fiance was able to purchase many hoodies, and there was a lot in stock - for guys. This time though, I was impressed by the abundance of Timberland shoes, I was able to purchase a couple of men's boots for my fiance with a good price. I checked my receipt and the calculated average of savings I get is 50%. I would recommend still checking this place out, as this is a big warehouse sale, and they have a lot of different types of clothing to shop for. They have hoodies, sweaters, t-shirts, work-out clothes, work pants, winter boots, safety shoes, winter jackets, golf apparels, even beauty products and jewelery! The warehouse is very organized, they have a lot of staff who can help, and the check out process was also fast and efficient. Review 100 of 100 - YAYY!

They now have zones called neighbourhoods. The newest neighbourhood is called Union Market, which opened 2023-05-09. This neighbourhood is made up of many stalls with many different vendors. Every stall is very modern. There are a few permanent vendors and 2 pop-ups on opening day. A few other vendors will open soon. There are a few lounging stalls with tables and chairs. There is even a sub-neighbourhood called Union Fresh Market! Union Market is not easy to find because it is tucked away when coming from the Union Station Subway Station. I had to ask some other vendors to point the way for me. There is "The PATH" that runs through the middle. The current stalls are south of The PATH. The stalls north of The PATH will open Sep 2023. It seems obvious to me I haven't explored Union Station since at least 2018 since I didn't know they extended The PATH into Union Station! The current vendors are: - The Alley - Patties Express - Chocollata Gourmet Brigadeiros - My Olive - Lena's Floral Design - Manotas Organics (not open yet) - Gemlet (pop-up) - Virtue Vintage (pop-up) I spoke to the staff/owners at each stall except for The Alley because they were constantly busy while I was there 16:15 to 19:30. I'm excited for Union Station. They made a modern Union Food Court many years ago, then they opened the Union Foodie Aisle in 2022, and now Union Market in.2023. The place is wheelchair accessible. There are washrooms nearby but not in Union Market. There is very little paid neighbourhood street parking, but there are paid parking lots. Review 2023-127
