Winners

I like this location as there is access from the subway directly.
This locations is a hit or miss. I make a stop when I make a visit to the gym. They do have unique items. The home section and footwear section are smaller than most locations. Go to HOMESENSE instead.
The lines always move quickly and I love the shelves with different fun things to buy. It always get me.

Winners is my go to place for brand items at a lower price. They sell everything ranging from clothing, shoes, home décor, home and beauty supplies, and even electronic accessories. I love the selection of brand name clothing to choose from, the only thing is that you need to have patience to look through the racks unless something catches your eye on the featured racks. This location in convenient as it’s located at Sheppard station or 2 minutes by car. There is underground parking and it’s free for 2 hours if you get your parking stub validated by the cashier upon leaving. The only issue that I have about this store is that even though there is a wide variety of clothing, the store is smaller compared to most winners and is usually messy making it hard to navigate through the racks.

Today was my first time here. Te cashier was nice and the store people were helpful. Change room person was nice too! I bought stuff for a good price! This neighborhood has too many restaurants and not enough fashion shops, so I’m grateful for Winners.

This branch suffers from small size, which severely limits selection. Men’s clothing, as Karl mentioned, is very poor in scope. I did find a couple of household items here but that selection is also much smaller than a suburban Winners.

I shop here on a regular basis and find at times it can be a hit or miss depending on what you’re looking for. I’ve found some great Versace purses for $ 600 at this location and a great pair of leather and snake skin Calvin Klein high heels for $ 80! It’s great for kitchenware and home storage (they’ve got plenty) At times the line can be quite long; however it seems to move rather quickly with the rapid growth of seasonal cashiers.

I honestly can’t say that I’ve ever really been impressed by a Winners. Something must be lost in translation for me. This location is conveniently located in the Sheppard Centre so I popped down here during lunch with a coworker the other day.
I came specifically looking for scarfs… not the winter kind, the accessory kind. Every single one that I liked was over $ 50! Are you kidding me? I can pick them up at nearly any clothing store for under $ 20.
I have never had any luck at Winners and I’m slowly coming to realize that I probably never will.

This Winners has the best selection of name brand clothing I have seen. TJX Corp should relabel this location as a Marshalls.
Also, the cashier stated that they validate parking over 1 hour and that parking is free for the first hour, but I have not validated that claim. However, the parking ramp does not have any published free 1 hour parking.

As I frequent many Winners’ locations I find this location to have the best finds as well as it’s so close to my home. Remember every location carries unique merchandise. You’ll always be pleasantly surprised

A typically dingy men’s section. Nice to have a Winners in the heart of the North York condo and office district. Without a doubt it has the longest impulse buying line. All manner of snacky goodness tempts you as you Bataan death march your way around and around the line to the cashiers.

I went to this Winner’s location during my lunch time as it is steps from my work. I don’t frequent Winner’s often and when the store first opened way back when, I was expecting brand, BRAND names. Now, it is just a place where you can get decent clothes at a fairly decent price.
This Winner’s location is my go to for Christmas work gift exchanges, mini-​gifts that I know the other person is going to re-​gift, and now, fitness stuff. I bought my yoga mat there for a decent $ 19 which I still use now. Today, I bought a pair of Nike gym shoes for a whopping $ 24.95 which in my mind is a GREAT deal. Some shoes in those fitness stores can cost upwards of $ 200…and it’s a NIKE! Because I was also cold in the office, I decided to snap up a cute purple Calvin Klein cardigan for $ 19.00 and considering the original price was $ 59.99, I couldn’t resist. Last purchase was some Spanx tights and socks. I spent approx $ 50 for 4 items which was a great deal in my mind
I have to admit that there are some cute finds at Winners (you have to look hard though), and this location showcases the «special items» when you walk in; Fashion’s that are «in» now. I would suggest coming here for last minute clothing items (torn stockings, last minute cardigans, emergency under garments…) as well as fitness gear and gifts! Yeah:)

Went to 3 different Winners today, so I guess I have some credibility in comparing them. This one, is at the top of the Sheppard Grande centre — free two hour parking!
The aisles here are so narrow, I felt a little claustrophobic with all the people. One person in the aisle, you’ll have to go around.
They’ve got a big selection of yoga stuff, including a foam roller ($ 16.99) or blocks ($ 5.99).
We also found some nice gloves ($ 9.99) from American Eagle in the men’s section that have thumb holes in it! I didn’t find it in the women’s section, as if they don’t use gloves.
I was also looking for a new woolen jacket, and couldn’t find anything of good quality.
Out of the 3 I went to today, this was one of the ones with less inventory and environment.

I like checking this location every once in a while. You can really get some great bargains. I don’t like to dig so I just browse certain areas. On separate occasions I’ve scored 2 Calvin Klein dresses for 60.00. And a no name dress for 29.00. Some great shoes there too. Though I have too many right now so I’m waiting for them to wear out before I buy more. :-) The men’s side isn’t bad either. Though yeah, the line up to the cashier is usually long. I think they’re short staffed!

Argh! I am consistently lured back into this place again and again by the great selection, but the experience always grinds to a dead halt when I get to the checkout. The cashiers here are reliably surly and strangely exotic; at least you can idle away a few minutes by speculating whether or not the cashier matched her bright green eyeshadow to her shirt.
The health and beauty selection is fun to shop — provided you go BEFORE several customers decide that «tester» means they should pour mysterious goop over other products on the shelf. A hilarious assortment of random products include «Biggest Loser» protein powder and cheap yoga starter kits. Right above the Sheppard subway stop and a great way to kill time if you’re waiting for an appointment (or a movie nearby)!

This Winners is really good. The selection of ladies wear, shoes and housewares is surprisingly good with it being in an office building. Oh… childrens shoes are really limited, but I think they cater to what the crowds want!
They validate a one hour parking with a purchase of $ 25 or more.

I was going to give this Winners two stars, because every experience I’ve had there has involved long line-​ups and slow cashiers, but they ended up with three because of three wonderful things:
#1) I once found Betsey Johnson shoes for $ 15. FIFTEEN DOLLARS. For $ 150 shoes. That deserves one star alone.
#2) Great housewares items that hadn’t been picked apart — I grabbed a couple drink mixes (hot chocolate… mmm) and printed bowls on clearance. Yahoo!
#3) The best shoe selection I’d seen at any Winners yet. I had to go to a conference next door and was just browsing on my lunch break… suddenly I was carrying around three pairs of shoes and some slippers and had to exert control over myself before I bought the whole section.
So I may have had the worst cashier ever (I get it, your life sucks, I worked 6 years of retail, get over it), but besides that, this place was great. A hidden gem. (I’ve always wanted to say that…)
