I was really looking forward to this store opening and they did not disappoint! I tried 2-3 times to shop at the Don Mills location after they first opened, but there was always a huge line up and i gave up.
This store is located at Highway 7 & Woodbine in the plaza that used to be home to Home Outfitters and located in the building that used to be Golf Town. I stopped in 2 days after their official opening day and there was no line up outside, but finding parking was brutal. This store is located in a "plaza" that has dozens of stores, restaurants etc. My hubby waited in the car, so i could pop in and take a quick look.
Honestly, i didn't know what to expect, i was just hoping to find some cute items that i wouldn't find in the dollar store brands we have here. I was pleasantly surprised to see better quality items, even if they weren't all priced at a dollar or 2.
I quickly browsed through 3/4 of the store because i had limited time before picking up my kids from school. I looked through beauty/cosmetics, skin care, hair accessories, arts/crafts (great scrapbooking items), housewares, snack foods, frames, school/office supplies, planters, dog supplies. I could go on but this will take a while, lol. Everything was $2.00 unless otherwise priced with a sticker showing the amount of the item. You can easily spend an hour or 2 in this store because there is just so much to see!
I ended up buying my daughter some really cute hair accessories & hairbands and a little pouch to put everything in. Everything cost under $10 and the quality is better than any dollar store i've shopped at in the GTA.
There was a line up to pay, but there were at least 6-8 girls on cash and the line moved very quickly. They were very friendly & helpful to answer any questions i had.
I know i missed a few sections of the store, so I will definitely be back!
