Dec 31st 2021 my vehicle had a dead battery that could not be charged. Corey at Canadian Tire,…read more2305 McPhillips Ave, Winnipeg said if I could have my vehicle towed and in his shop by 3 pm, he would replace the battery and have my car ready for pick-up by 5pm. (The battery needed to be installed by a mechanic in the Ford Escape, so it was impossible to just 'drop' it in and install it myself.) Bearing in mind this was New Year's Eve day, and I had tried to get help from several other local service stations but no one wanted to be bothered on New Years Eve, and most places only worked until noon that day. However, Corey and his crew were awesome ! The battery was replaced and the vehicle ready to go as promised. Great service !

While I have found the staff here to be helpful, there is clearly a disconnect between departments…read more I brought my bike in for repairs under the warranty and was told by a customer service rep that it would take about a week or so and then someone from the sports department would call me to say it was fixed. I called after a week-and-a-half and it wasn't fixed yet, but I was told again by a customer service rep that it can sometimes take a couple of weeks and someone from the sports department would call me after it was repaired. Waited a month until I called again and found out my bike had been repaired, but nobody had bothered to call me, which I thought might happen. Not a bad place, but they don't really have their **** together there.

Value Village on Ellice Ave is a great place to shop if you're looking for affordable VCR players…read moreaccessories, and VHS tapes items. They have a wide variety of secondhand goods, and it's easy to find unique pieces and good deals if you take your time browsing. The store is generally organized but during busy times the aisles can get a bit cluttered and some sections become messy. Still, the selection and pricing make it worthwhile. The checkout process is smooth, and staff are reasonably helpful. Overall a solid thrift shopping experience with plenty of variety and value.

Outlet Collection Winnipeg is a nice addition to the city. It's an indoor mall with a bunch of…read morestores that you'd expect would be outlets. Um, yes and no. I suppose that it's kind of the norm at most outlet malls. Not all stores will give you heavily slashed prices on everything. I like that it's an indoor mall. You are protected from the elements when the temperature swings thirty degrees in either direction from zero. -30°C? You are safe from having your eyelashes freeze over. 30°C? It was what I had experienced while in the city. This mall was nicely air-conditioned and perfect to hibernate against hot, humid conditions. The mix of stores made me happy. Old Navy. GAP Factory. Winners. Claire's. Kernels - Baskin-Robbins. Skechers. Danier. Starbucks. Urban Treasures. Chatime. Lindt. I was perfectly content shopping at these places. Some are your regular businesses at any mall, such as Chatime and Starbucks. Winners has decent prices already. Old Navy, GAP Factory, and Lindt had deals that you'd expect from an outlet. The deals were fabulous. If you are a visitor, you can get a discount when you shop at various stores by dropping by Guest Services. The problem that I encountered was that they ask for ID. I dropped by to shop with a credit card and me. This woman at the counter would not accept photos of my driver's licence, both front and back, with my mugshot, on my phone. I didn't feel like grabbing my ID from the glove compartment of my rental vehicle and heading back to save maybe a couple of dollars on my great deals. Some stores are separate from the mall, but are still a part of it. Krispy Kreme is an example. I don't mind it because it has a drive-thru. There's also an IHOP, which is nice not doing a trip over the border to get your pancake fix. I spent my last full day in Winnipeg at this mall for a few hours. I enjoyed it. I used the washroom before I left. It was fancy and clean. There was plenty of parking. Each entrance is numbered, which is helpful. I look forward to returning to the city and dropping by this mall again. I'm glad that I can finally say that I've shopped here at long last. (330)

2.5/5 I suppose for…read moreWinnipeg standards, it's a pretty good outlet mall. Maybe this review is influenced by the fact I've been to many other outlet malls that have more variety, but I definitely felt underwhelmed after shopping here. The location itself isn't very ideal, as the two major streets are high traffic, so getting here isn't exactly convenient. The mall bills itself as an outlet mall, but I honestly saw very few outlet prices. There were barely any sales or deals in all the places I went to. Definitely disappointing. The place is huge though, and the mall design is extremely open concept, plus the washrooms are really neat. That's about all the positives I can say unfortunately; Polo Park has better options in my opinion if you're looking for clothing.
