Len’s Mill Store

I got the idea from another Unilocaler, to visit a fabric store in every city you visit. I was in Guelph over the weekend visiting a friend and asked her if she would indulge me…
It was a Sunday, so the only fabric store in the area that was open was Len’s. As soon as we pulled up, she said «Haha, oh I have been here before. It’s really something.» I wasn’t expecting to walk into a liquidator. Better still, I wasn’t expecting this liquidator to have a huge variety of fabric. Like, HUGE. Most of it is cotton (100%!) but it was the variety of prints I was overwhelmed with. Basic patterns in many colours, seasonal prints, licensed prints… really cute stuff. Accessories were also a great price — I finally bought myself a cutting ruler because the price was about $ 10 less than Fabricland.
I was offered a couple of discounts, too! One of the bolts I brought to the cutting table was almost done so I was offered a percentage off if I took the whole thing. We were also offered another discount at the checkouts if we sang a Christmas carol! I don’t know if you can sing yourself to a deal every week, but it was good for a laugh and great customer service.
As a liquidator, this store is very large and has just about everything you’re looking for. I’m just more enthusiastic about it as a fabric store. I will definitely pop in any time I am in Guelph!
