“Wide selection of items here! They have everything you'd need to throw any type of party from balloons, cards, plates, cutlery, to table cloths, napkins, and party favours. I love their kitchen aisles with cheap spices and containers of all shapes and sizes! They have great stuff for pets and the gardening section in the spring and summer is well stocked!
Friendly helpful staff also!”
“This place is great. You never know what you'll find. One thing I find, though is that now that stores don't provide plastic bags, even if you bring your own bag the cashier won't pack your stuff which causes a delay in the lineup. I think they should use your bag and put your purchases in it. Why not?”
“I like the variety and the prices. I am not rushed when I shop. The sheer volume of products allows me to shop for so many different items many I hadn’t realized I needed.I have been a customer since Bianca first opened this store in Calgary 20 years ago. She used to supply products for my brick & mortar business.The staff is usually extremely friendly and willing to help. My only complaints would be the staff talking in foreign languages in front of me when I talk to them and more often then not cannot help with any customer service concerns or questions even though they appear eager to help.”
“This store is very consistent, and you can usually count on finding the basic items you need. The staff are friendly, and the store itself is quite large and spread out. I do wish there were clearer signs showing what’s in each aisle, though sometimes it can be fun discovering things as you walk around. It may not be the best Dollarama nearby for higher-quality items, but overall it’s still a really good store.”
“I recently visited Dollarama and overall had a great experience. It's a fantastic store for those looking for affordable household items, stationery, toys, and more at low prices. You can always find something useful, and the quality of most items matches the price.
The staff is friendly and always ready to help, and the store itself is clean and well-organized. There's a wide variety of products, and they often have promotions that help you save even more.
The only downside is that sometimes the store can feel a bit cramped, especially during peak hours, but that doesn't take away from the enjoyable shopping experience.
I highly recommend Dollarama to anyone looking to save money and find practical items for everyday use!”
“Cheap around the ends of the aisles, if nothing is super cheap walk out. There's not much of a selection, so your going to do half of your grocery store shopping somewhere else. Which I didn't expect to be in there.”
“Ran in for a couple of things and noticed that the line was moving really quickly but there was just one cashier. His name is Ade and he is by far the most efficient cashier I’ve seen anywhere.”
“I was just in this location and was helped by such a kind brunette woman with glasses behind the desk. It’s not often one finds a cashier who provides such a helpful and lovely service experience - much appreciated!”
“I just had an exceptional experience, one I will have hard time forgetting. We bought a few things but she was treating everyone with a genuine smile and was so cordial and polite. Makes me want to come here again. This was at around 8 pm on December 1. What a great start to the Holiday season!”
“Good variety. Reasonable pricing. Quantities are small because of special pricing. Good paper products, bags and greeting cards. Excellent service in all departments.
It would help us all if the various departments are labeled with signs in aisles.
Will visit again for sure.”
“In front of the Dollar store, male looking around 30s-40s, Indian or Middle Eastern blocked the pathway with his car and collided with my bike.

“Had a great experience at the shop! Yulia was super helpful and brought out all the artificial plants they had so I could pick the one I liked. She even helped me carry it to my car. Really appreciated the friendly and thoughtful service!”
“Great store to get so much for so little. The quality was better than I expected so I was very pleased! Huge selection of everything you could possibly want. Well organized and usually always stocked full. A great store to buy different household materials, decorations, party items, stationery, electronics and huge range for Canadian souvenirs.”
“Dollarama on 3320 20 Ave NE in Calgary is a go-to spot for budget-friendly shopping, and my recent visit proved just how valuable it can be.
Yesterday, I stopped by specifically looking for decoration items, and I was pleasantly surprised by the selection. From seasonal decorations to everyday home accents, they had a variety of options that were both stylish and incredibly affordable. I managed to snag some amazing finds that added a festive touch to my place without breaking the bank. The quality of the items was also surprisingly good for the price point, making it a fantastic value.
The store itself was well-organized and clean, which made the shopping experience even more enjoyable. The staff were friendly and helpful, assisting me with finding what I needed. While Dollarama might not be the place for high-end goods, it's perfect for those looking to decorate on a budget or find everyday essentials without spending a fortune. Overall, my visit was a success, and I'll definitely be returning for more affordable treasures in the future.”
“The staff at this store are really wonderful. The area can feel a bit sketchy at times and you sometimes have to pay attention to who’s hanging around near the entrance. That said, the employees are always friendly and helpful. The store itself is in a convenient location, the shelves are usually well stocked, and you can find a lot of great options for whatever you need.”
“Store is clean well lit, items are organized, prices are clearly displayed on the shelves. Not the largest Dollarama I've been to however they have a decent selection of inventory.”
“Seriously need to invest in a bell so customers aren't stuck waiting forever for someone to notice them waiting to check out. Rather frustrating having to scour the aisles for the one employee you have trying to do everything.”

“This dollarama was amazing it had everything I wanted plus the staff were very helpful. They went to great length to help me find everything I wanted. I'm a black man, they didn't even follow up and down aisle like I was going to steal that means a lot to me they actually treated like I was a regular customer. I told all my brothers that this dollarama doesn't discriminate against black men, they make us feel like we are thieves. All the other dollarama drop everything they are doing to follow us up and down each aisle to the point where we are like do you want to hold our hand? They make it so obvious, they are 3 to 4 staff following us all around the store until we finish shopping then once we join the line to pay or leave the store they resume their regular duties. It's a waste of time for us to complain we just allow them to do what they do best which is racially profile and discriminate but this dollarama doesn't do that. Maybe after I write this post they will start. I'm joking I hope not. It felt good not being racially profiled or discriminated against for once. As we we expect it in Alberta, Calgary, it becomes something that we are use to. But its not right we are living in a different day and age now. Thank you to this dollarama for not discriminating or racially profiling against black males it means a lot to us. We the black community appreciate you. Thank you!!”
“The only issue is some areas are so overstocked that you have to dig through a bunch of stuff that you don't want, to find what you do... but there's no where for the stuff to go. This can be a little frustrating.”
“I would like to thank all the staff for their incredible work. Everyone is helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to take the time to assist customers.
I once saw an associate helping a French woman who was a mother of three, and he did not hesitate to spend a great deal of time explaining everything as clearly as possible in French. I rarely see that level of patience and care and it’s definitely surprising for a downtown location, where it seems impossible to keep up with the good service level.
While the cashiers could improve a bit in terms of speed, my overall experience here has always been excellent. One area that could also be improved is the narrow aisles. During busy times, customers can feel like they are getting in the staff’s way while they work. It can also be difficult to move a shopping cart through the health and beauty aisle.”
“Great customer service, organized store. One point of adjustment would be your hours say open at 8am on google. Your doors being locked and in person sign say other wise. Please update this.”
“Dollarama Seton is convenient, but the self-checkout setup makes the experience far more frustrating than it needs to be. The scale constantly triggers errors, which means waiting for staff assistance every few items - and there often aren't enough staff available to keep things moving. What should be a quick stop turns into unnecessary delays. On top of that, prices are no longer the simple $1 or $2 range Dollarama used to be known for, so the value doesn't feel the same. The store has what you need, but the checkout inefficiency really takes away from the experience.”
“I just wanted to say that this was about a month ago, but they had the kindest, most pleasant young woman at the cash. Friendly, smiling and great customer interaction. I was impressed and I told her so! It’s becoming very rare to see kindness in employees in retails & such, so I was happy to see this! Also really enjoyed all the options in your store. Much bigger than I thought.”
“If you've never been to a dollar store, you're missing out on a treasure trove of the finest things money can buy--3pack of toothbrushes, lego under $6, and enough cleaning supplies to launch your own small business.
Ladies working there are amazing.
Chatty and always ready to help.”
“I had an amazing experience at the Dollarama on 12th Ave SW! The store is always clean, well-organized, and stocked with a fantastic variety of products at unbeatable prices. From household essentials to seasonal decor, I always find exactly what I need—and a few fun surprises too! The staff are friendly, helpful, and keep the checkout lines moving quickly. The location is convenient, with ample parking, making it a breeze to pop in and out. Dollarama consistently delivers great value and a pleasant shopping experience. Highly recommend this location—five stars all the way!..”
“Meh. Stuff is ok. Depends a lot on what you are looking for. For clothes there is a ton. They have food stuff as well but long expired which is to be expected. People are friendly. There are good deals to be had and worth a visit at least”
“Great little store with friendly staff. Can find some real gems hidden in here depending what you're looking for. The prices are pretty good on most things and not so much on others but I just don't buy those things at this store. Bought some really great live plants and some really neat items in the craft section I hadn't seen at any other stores. Will definitely come back :)”
“I came here to leave a review and im absolutely shocked by the bad reviews. Ive been coming here for years. The owners are so personalable and down to earth. Great customer service and I always find rare things here that I can never find at the dollarama!!! 10/10. Definitely check it out.”
“Found everything I needed. wish the staff were a bit more friendly. my cashier didn't smile or say hello. Just a glum look on her face which said she wished she was somewhere else.”
