Got a few of my mum's birthday presents here while my little sisters and I were shopping for her. Good prices, amazing selection. Mildly cramped but thats the trade off for the selection

Great place to get affordable housewares. From tea towels to tupperware, bedding to cleaning solutions. This is usually my first goo to when ever I need an item. Love their pre-cut potato foils. Good selection of stationary items and hair accessories.

As soon as I entered the store the cashier yelled at me at the top of her lungs to leave my small hiking backpack at the front. I had all my money, IDs, car keys, expensive camera gear and portable chargers within that bag. I was not going to leave thousands of dollars worth of my belongings with someone I didn’t know. I left the store immediately feeling humiliated and ashamed since I was yelled at in front of a bunch of people.

Suggestions for improvement:
I have never seen this type of store policy in my life, so if you’re going to enforce such strange policies, be polite and respectful. Understand that it is very unusual for a store to have this no bag policy, and many people won’t be expecting it.
If you’re having theft problems, get cameras throughout your store. Don’t yell at every customer that walks in, treat them as if they’re a criminal and scare away all your clientele. I see from other reviews here that this has been going on for years. You’re going to scream all your customers away for good.

It's an okay dollar store. The craft section is pretty good, and they have some unusual items like bed linens. It would be nice if they had some small food items, and sometimes the staff have been grumpy. I got a lovely bunch of balloons for my son's birthday though.

This place is great! Good stuff for cheap and smiling faces to boot. I'll be returning every time I'm in town. Selection of 'll sorts of things from trinkets to glow sticks to painting trays. Stop in, you will like it I'm sure..

I took a faulty item for replacement but they completely denied. It was a full bottle of nail polish remover which didn't remove nail polish at all. The Manager completely denied and explained that we don't do return without receipt as customers pick up item and come to the counter. It didn't make any sense as i was returning it because the product wasn't working. Very poor customer service.

The most rude staff I've ever encountered. As a former retail employee myself, the ladies in here would have been fired the minute they walked in to my store. First off, I was yelled at the minute I walked in to sanitize my hands (which I had JUST done with my own sanitizer), then as we were walking around the store, 1 employee had commented on my husband's mask (WHICH HE WAS WEARING), asking why there was such a gap between his nose and the mask, essentially pointing out the fact that the mask that was custom made by my mother did not fit him properly. This made him super self conscious for the rest of our trip. Also, as we were leaving, a lady who had lost her mask and was wanting to buy one was yelled at for not wearing one into the store. NEVER visiting here again. The worst store I've ever walked foot into.

I recently booked a balloon delivery with Gayleen and had a fantastic experience. She communicated extremely well over phone and email and sent different bouquet options she thought I would like. I definitely recommend considering her for your next event. Thanks Gayleen!
