    Horrible shopping experience! Will never go back! Got ignored. Then asked for help was told to wait. I waited, no one showed up. Only 3 costumers in the store. I went back out and asked the only sales girl on the floor for help. She repeatedly said " what size?". I explained I had gained weight I didn't know. She asked me 6 times what size? Finally I said I was leaving. She got lippy, arguing and making excuses. All I wanted to do was leave but she kept moving in front of me. I said I wanted her manager. She said manager is off. I said I would speak with the other staff then. But I said I will wait out in front of store. She raised her voice talking back to me as I was trying to leave. Finally I said " You are mouthy!" Then she stopped talking, finally!

    Today I thought I was returning $132 worth of merchandise to the St. Catharines store. The staff person's first comment was that the 30-day limit had past by weeks therefore I was not entitled to a refund. I explained I am a high-risk older person and that I have had to limit my contact with the public because of Covid19. She then lectured me about how the store has been safe for me to come in since either May or June, despite my high-risk medical conditions. Then she scanned my items and then told me they were worth only 2/3rds of what I paid and that was all I would have been entitled! I asked the staff person why I would get less than what I paid. "That's the policy" she stated. As I was about to ask for management, the staff person stated I could have the money returned in gift card. I have bought thousands of dollars in clothing from Pennintons and never have I come across such a cold, dismissive person like her. Never. If I could have a gift card, why did she immediately dismiss me, my explanation, tell me the clothes would be worth less even if I did get my money back, and then tell me I had no excuse for not bringing the clothing back sooner? Talk about an uncomfortable and stressful visit to a store I had every intention of purchasing some of my Fall wardrobe after finishing with the return but I couldn't get out of there quick enough.

    This review is for Penningtons in general not necessarily this store. I am giving them a one star for their online shopping experience. When ordering something I wanted to pick up in store to save shipping costs. The website told me many stores closed during Covid and the only twopick up options I had were both one hour drive each way. I later learned that the local store was still open. When I called to inquire why I couldn’t pick up there I was told “we have that turned off right now, I can’t tell you why” “if you come in our store and we don’t have it we can order it for you and send it to your house for free” What kind of a system is this??? Very poor experience.

    I find it appalling in this day and age that a company will not accept an exchange on 100% brand new underwear when they are fully in the package when a senior citizen bought the wrong size. My mother in law bought several pairs of underwear all at once. They are untouched. To not accept an exchange when the packaging is completely unmolested is absurd. I will never buy from this company again and would certainly not recommend them when they have zero flexibility with a senior citizen on a small pension.

    Was in there for half an hour and no employees spoke to me! It’s not like they were short staffed.. there were many of them walking around just not acknowledging anyone. High prices and no customer service.

    I had the pleasure of dealing with Sasha Dix, who was helping out at this location at the time of my call. She went above and beyond to help me out with my return issue. She was extremely patient, helpful and made calls to customer service on my behalf. If I could give her 10 stars I would!!! Thank you so much Sasha, your kindness was very much appreciated!!

    Staff were friendly. Clothing line is always so ugly. Bottoms heavily patterned and tops. Double pattern can't possibly be a style Miss addition elle.

    It's very hard for me to find something i like being H cup. Called the store the lady checked to see what i wanted was in my size it wasnt. Went in later today and had the nicest sales associate. She pulled what i origannly wanted in a size up, the 2 styles i wanted and something similar. She helped discuss sizes and what worked. Ended up going home with the top she picked. LOVE
