“I recently visited the Home Depot Markham East location to purchase a new over-the-range microwave after my existing unit was damaged in a grease fire earlier in the week. Patrick Luk was extremely welcoming and quick to offer his assistance. He walked me through the various features, answered my questions, and promptly prepared my order for delivery. Patrick was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the entire experience. His excellent customer service made what could have been a stressful situation much easier. Thank you, Patrick, for all your help! 5 out of 5 stars for outstanding service!”
“I normally don’t write reviews, but I had the best experience at Heel Boy that I felt I needed to. I needed a pair of waterproof winter boots that were still stylish and Jade helped tremendously. She was patient with me while I stomped around the store trying on 3 different pairs of boots and found me something that was both within my price range, but protected me from the Toronto winters. Actually, my experience was so good I bought a pair of loafers that I didn’t even need. I will 100% be going back when I’m ready for a new pair of shoes!”
“I recently moved to the York region from Scarborough and visited this Homesense location for several household items - including a table and chairs. The stock in this location is great! What stood out to me most was one of the employees, Bahar. I liked a table that was on the showroom floor but it was scratched - she mentioned there was something in the warehouse that I might like better.. and she was right! She was incredibly helpful locating 4 chairs to go with the table. On top of that, she helped wrapped everything nicely so we wouldn’t scratch anything during transport. I was overall pleased with her going above and beyond for me. Thank you, Bahar!”
“Markville Mall Marshalls is a very well-stocked location, similar to other Marshalls stores, but it often feels less crowded which makes the shopping experience much more relaxed. The store is always clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, and the staff are consistently friendly and approachable. I find it much easier to shop here compared to other busy stores, and there is usually something worth picking up if you take the time to browse. This experience took place on Sunday, September 7, 2025. I visited because I needed Blue Jays merchandise for a game I will be attending on Wednesday. At first, I noticed some tank tops, but they were not my style and felt a little too revealing. I decided to take my time carefully browsing through the racks and I am very glad I did because I eventually found a Blue Jays sweater at a very reasonable price. It was exactly what I needed and I was happy with both the selection and the value. At checkout, Francesca was the cashier who assisted me. She was incredibly sweet, warm, and professional. After paying, I accidentally left my phone at the counter because I was tired and clumsy from a long day. Francesca immediately noticed and kindly ran after me to return it. I was so grateful for her kindness and attention, and it really left a positive impression on me. She truly went above and beyond in her customer service and absolutely deserves recognition from management. In my opinion, Francesca deserves a raise for the way she treats customers with such care and respect. The manager was also very welcoming and helpful, which added to the overall great experience. Overall, this Marshalls location at Markville Mall stands out for its organization, cleanliness, reasonable prices, and especially its staff. Shoppers are treated with care, and the friendliness of employees like Francesca makes a big difference. This will definitely remain one of my favorite Marshalls locations to visit. ?”

“On Friday April 17 at approximately 7 pm my wife experienced a medical event in the Muji store. I want to acknowledge and thank Krizia, one of the Muji staff who was so incredibly helpful and supportive in what was otherwise a very difficult situation for my wife. Krizia was extremely kind, respectful and professional throughout this ordeal and organized her colleagues to be very supportive as well. Muji is very lucky to have her supporting their customers. We will return to Muji in Markville Mall soon to complete purchases of some of their excellent products.”
“I stopped by the Winners at 7700 Markham Road recently and had a positive shopping experience. The store is clean and well-stocked and tidy. I was mainly looking for a new jacket and found a pretty good selection. The prices, as usual, were great especially for the brand names they had.”
“I seriously cannot be more thankful for the staff at the Auto Service department! After getting screwed on an RIV inspection, almost nobody in the GTA was available today for an inspection. These guys understood my issue, squeezed me in and made it very clear how long it would take and the circumstance. They did a great job and completed my RIV inspection. You can truly depend on these guys for service. Thank you guys again for saving my day!”
