“I went in there for crafts and then saw the amazing variety of everything for kitchens, tools, decorating!! It really is a store for everything you need. The owners are nice and friendly!”
“I was in Laval Northeast and I needed a power bar and my associate up there told me a couple of places and he said the Chinese dollar store meaning this place I guess and I walked into this place. It was the first one and the cash was surrounded by theft proof. Plexiglass which put me off a bit. It wasn't covid glass. It was banking plexiglass nice and thick. However, the woman behind the cash communicated well and told me where the extension cords were and I found a huge heavy one very long orange and a triple head plug and a single plug at the end to plug it into. That's what I needed 15 bucks then a regular sort of dollar store. One covered in cloth with regular ends except longer than I found a dollar stores for five bucks. She's told me where to go. I was in a rush. I paid for them quickly. She was sufficient. The rest of the store looks okay. A bit crowded but had tons of everything and they fit in a lot of stuff in that place and it looks pretty handy. If you need to pick up stuff or just want to do some shopping for a whole bunch of things that you might find. Also at a dollar store but some other things as well . Lil's squished together a little busy and bid put off by that huge plexiglass protecting the cash cashiers but it's their right to do that and they probably have it up for a reason. It's not just leftover from covid-19. I have a feeling. I imagine there must be robberies around there. So for them it's a deterrent and a safety net. . Good enough for sure. She was very effective and their credit card charge printed out my receipts and I went off quickly . I did not investigate the store but it looked like I had tons of stuff and if you're in that area drop in and see for yourself .”
