    They do have lots of stocked items When I visited the sales person, who was a female was not very friendly at all, no greetings, I almost for got an item on the counter and she saw it. But felt like she doesn't care at all. Sad what else to say.

    Love this Dollarama. I've almost always had good interactions with staff. It gets really busy in the weeks leading up to xmas, and I think they wait a little too long before calling for more cashiers, but it's clean and well organized.

    Always have a good experience here but this time a customer in line decided to get angry at me for having a bigger order. The cashier was very nice and apologized for the customers behaviour. I really appreciate the staff being so nice whenever I visit. Thankyou to the man who rung me up!

  • 5/5 krista m. 4 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    Never disappointed with this place, though it needs better aisle arrangement. Too long, too cluttered. Service is great though.

  • 1/5 Amber “Babe” L. 6 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Extremely Rude & Not Very Understanding The Cashier Or Staff, Manager Either!!! Extremely Unprofessional Made Me Feel Very Embarrassed In Front Of Everyone Simply Cause I Need To Have Money To Get Back Home Last Friday The 13th Of October So I Had To Do A Refund Which The Manager Said To Me Very Rude To Me That They DON'T DO REFUND AT ALL. but If You Read This From The Owner " Dollarama Is The Leading Dollar Store Operator In Canada, We Offer A Board Range Of Quality Consumer Products And General Merchandise, In Additional Seasonal Products." NOTHING ABOUT NO REFUND AT ALL!!! NEVER COMING TO THIS DOLLARAMA. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT NO ELSE DOES EITHER. Please Everyone Who Reads My Review I Don't Want Anyone else to have the same experience I did with them or get the same treatment from them as I did. Thanks!!!

    There is alot of boxs on the ground but it is fine for the on the go needs lines are long sometimes but go fast!

  • 5/5 Brenda W. 3 years ago on Google
    I kinda don't wanna let the secret out, but this location is one of the best in the city! It's huge and their stock is amazing...the staff are all so kind and the majority of customers seam to be on the ball regarding social distancing (which is hard to find these days) 😄

  • 4/5 Jesse C. 10 months ago on Google
    This location was remodeled. It looked good.

  • 5/5 Paul St A. 3 years ago on Google
    It was as always a good experience 👍

  • 4/5 Sharon D. 3 years ago on Google
    Hey it's a dollar plus so for the prices you can find some amazing things, and staff are pretty nice overall.

  • 4/5 J H. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge store, they have a great variety of stuff that makes up for certain stores that the rest of the mall is missing such as a pet store or sporting goods store. They also have a good variety of pantry items, the food stock changes often since there is a lot of traffic through this location. I shop for household and cleaning supplies, pet toys, and groceries here before going to the actual grocery store. Perfect because the loblaws at this mall is crazy expensive and you can get almost everything you'd need in the dollarama instead!

  • 5/5 Chris C. 3 years ago on Google
    Massive store that has pretty much anything you need. Otherwise, it's your standard dollar store.

  • 3/5 John B. 1 year ago on Google
    Typical Dollarama. This store is downstairs and quite large. Elevator is there for those who need it. Part of the former Zellers

  • 3/5 CODE E. 1 year ago on Google
    This store is very under staffed in a busy mall the line is usually out into the isle. Big dollarama tho

  • 5/5 Sandra E. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sea K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff. Dollarama is more like five-o-rama... barely any dollar products lol. 5 star is for the friendly lady at the cash today :)

  • 3/5 Joanne M. 1 year ago on Google
    I was there today to get a few things and when I got home I noticed I had been charged twice for one item. I will call on Tuesday to see if the situation can be resolved:(

  • 5/5 noah c. 1 year ago on Google

  • 2/5 Andre C. 1 year ago on Google
    Basement of the mall. Too few cashiers open with big line-up waiting to pay. I left my basket there and walked out and returned during the week.

  • 5/5 Kalee S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great for getting lots of craft supplies for less.

  • 1/5 Kelly W. 1 year ago on Google
    I was overcharged on several items on a shopping trip a few months ago. After following up with the Dollarama head office, I was promised a gift card as compensation but never received it. It was allegedly mailed but never showed up. I was told to follow up with the post office despite having no receipt or record of it being sent. I’m not very happy with the overall customer service experience and unfortunately won’t be shopping there again.

  • 5/5 1slash 5. 11 months ago on Google
    A great selection of everyday things and most pricing is very reasonable. It is always well stocked.

  • 3/5 Alycia S. 3 years ago on Google
    Good store. Very crowded, given covid i thought there'd be a count of people allowed in like most other stores but it didn't seem to be the case. Lacked alot of basic products that other dollaramas have.

  • 4/5 Ethel Q. 3 years ago on Google
    Was the only busy store really, besides the grocery store. The rest of the mall was depressing.

  • 4/5 Macy G. 3 years ago on Google
    It’s pretty good for a dollar store I went to get glue one day and they only had the colour white they don’t sell colours but I’d say other then that I like it. I got a glow in the dark blanket for 2 dollars and it ended up glowing so it was pretty ok quality but it did stink after washing it the smell was fine I kinda felt gross in it tho because it was from the dollar store but now I use it a lot and it’s good so the store is an awesome place to go for cheap things that u need or want. Sometimes they don’t have the craft things I want or need ☹️ Witch makes me sad but there food is always good and yea that’s all I have to say oh and the dog toys are good quality and there only 4 dollars or under so I am always happy to get my dog a new toy! Last thing I have to say is that it’s really cheap obviously it is a dollar store and there most expensive things are like only 4 dollars but yea that’s it bye

    I was told to get out of the store, and then I was trespassing even though I was told the day before that I could come back the day after as long as I left, and they asked me to which I did, but when I returned as I was going to leave the store, they told me that I was trespassing, and that they were gonna call the cops on me if I didn’t leave

I went to the manager and informed her and took a pictures...
