What made this sale flop for us was that we went in a with a list of items to shop for and we only walked out with a set of place mats. The shelves were not bare; but certainly thin and the selection was far reduced. It was the first day of the sale and we did attend at night.... so it could have been a matter of getting to the shelves when they are still stocked. But, this was the first time we did not spend a couple of hundred dollars and we were prepared too. In the past we tried to get to a sale early in the morning on a weekend and you had to show your AMEX. This time they did not ask; although how I found about the sale was from AMEX 'Front of the Line' emails.
What was lacking was selection in bathroom accessories, kitchen utensils, infant and children items, bbq season items, knives, party favours, and baking accessories as compared to past. You could still add china, crystal, cutlery if you were looking for it, they had ample Christmas decorations, place mats and picture frames. We also experienced a long line to leave the store, but they had ample cash registers open and the line did move quickly. Also, I strongly suggest parking a few blocks away as you could see parking enforcement out and about. If you don't mind the walk we always park in the residential area North of Lawrence past the Tim Horton's.
The take away is if you do attend they will give you a $15 gift card if you provide them with your email address at the cash register. They also had no sales tax which was nice; accept we only spent $12 dollars.
The details are below... I say buyer beware and if you are looking for Kitchen/Bathroom items to just wait for a 'Bay Days' sale or stop at Macy's if you happen to be south of the border. Here is the relevant details from their flyer.
