“Great shopping experience at Marshalls! The store was clean and well organized, with lots of great brands and amazing deals. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I found exactly what I was looking for at a really good price. Definitely one of my favorite places to shop. Highly recommend!”
“I love this place. There's always good deals to be had in great clothes to be found at good prices. Surprisingly, I found some really expensive protein chips for an amazing deal, so I bought two cases.”

“This is why I shop at this store!!! I need a new gazebo and there was one model on sale. I was told they were already put away for the winter storage. I was also told if I wanted to wait, they would see if they could locate them and get one for me.. which they did!! Then Chris (& another young man) was so helpful loading and strapping it down in my SUV (after also taking me back into the store to the ratchet straps and helping me choose an appropriate one). I'd NEVER have been able to do all that myself!!! The service was BEYOND what I expected and it was given with a smile and some laughs. Absolutely friggen phenomenal!!! Katie cashed me out and she was super nice too!! Thanks peeps.. I got home safe and the gazebo is up and I'm a happy girl!”

“I haven't stepped foot in any Walmart since early 2020. I have not felt comfortable shopping at huge stores ever since the pandemic started. Lately, I am more comfortable being in larger spaces. Baby steps, of course! On Saturday, I was out and about for four hours. I needed the find a washroom, as I had downed a number of beverages since I had left the house. On my way to the Barrie Ribfest, I spotted this Walmart across the street and decided to stop by. There are plenty of parking spots. The downside is that some drivers are nuts. One guy was oblivious backing out and doing a circle in the parking lot. Another guy decided to park across all four handicap parking spots. Why?! I got a parking spot fairly close to the main entrance. I then walked in. It felt both weird and familiar being at a Walmart again. This one is set up the way that you'd expect a Walmart to be. The washrooms were right at the front. I was so happy. The women's washroom was clean. I did not buy anything. I needed lunch! I was pleased seeing Sistema items when I first walked into the store. The aisles looked wide and bright. There was a greeter by the automatic doors. He didn't say a word. I'm not sure if greeters are supposed to be silent these days. I'll need to return to Barrie for more than an hour! I had ribs on my mind, so it was a bonus stop here. I'll definitely come back and check things out more thoroughly. (322)”
“Decent location, decent prices, decent all around. In town for 10 days and needed to stock up, so went in here. Shelves were pretty well stocked, the place was pretty clean and seemed well staffed. Overall, not a bad shopping experience.”
“Visited Walmart for an unusual product. The clerk l asked about the product started to tell me where it could be IF they carried it. Then he signaled me to follow him. He to me to where it could have been. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed at the service. Thank...Walmart Barrie Bayfield plaza.”
