“I recently read some negative comments about Winners in a review, and I can’t understand why anyone would speak poorly about them. Here in Halifax, Canada, we have several Winners locations, and it’s the only store where I consistently find quality, brand-name clothes at great prices with good materials. I’ve been shopping there for many years, and everything has always been excellent—from the friendly customer service to the well-organized clothes. Without you winners store I truly don’t know where I’d find a wardrobe that fits me so well. 🩷”
“My sister gifted me an item and it was leaking. I went to exchange it but did not find the same item then picked something else. The customer service at Great Lakes was extremely poor. They refused to take a faulty product back. The manager was too rude. We left all the items that we intended to buy and just bought in exchange of that product. Very disappointed”
“I have shopped at Winners for over 30 years and was once the biggest cheerleader for other people to shop at this chain to find good quality merchandise at fair to excellent prices.
Unfortunately the corporate greed machine and money grab for increased profits has caused Winners stores in general to have steadily gone downhill in the last ten to fifteen years. A lot of their clothing and household goods are really of very poor quality and are not worth the money being asked for them. Similarly, the selection of goods is really limited. Often I find broken or damaged goods that should not even be on the floor "discounted" and put on the shelves to be sold "as is". Examples of these items are chipped or dented crockery items, stained clothing with missing buttons, broken zippers, and even tears or holes in the fabric.
Many stores are understaffed, disorganized, and dirty. Shopping carts at several stores that I have been to in Mississauga, Oakville, and Burlington habitually litter the parking lots and pose parking hazards to potential customers. Bathrooms are frequently dirty.
Jewellery items are increasingly very poorly made and are way over-priced. Items touted as "designer" items are frequently over-priced costume jewellery made of cheap materials.
I love animals, but unless they are truly registered and properly trained "service animals" dogs should NOT be allowed in Winners (or other) stores. Their presence poses potential health and safety hazards to people with small children, along allergies, and sanitation issues.
Until Winners improves the quality, selection, and pricing of its merchandise to offer customers good products at fair prices, I recommend that customers keep their money in their wallets and don't buy crappy merchandise. As long as customers settle for poor merchandise, poor service, and high prices, Winners CEOs will keep the greed machine in full swing and offer increasingly poor quality at increasingly higher profits.
People could very well find better quality and much better prices in consignment shops, thrift stores, and the Salvation Army. Save your money, time, and energy and shop elsewhere at better stores.”
“Cashier older lady at dougall store is rude her tone voice and her look will drive customers away store does not supply bags I had to carry my cloth I bought with my hands”
“winners 50 king st- scary the amount of errors in their tags and receipts - and unprofessional attitude when returning and we spend so much there. When we buy alot it’s ok- when we return an item there is also a mistake in the receipt, wrong tag and says some items return and they did not and they speak loudly and accusingly as if we are not spending money but getting items free”
“Winners purchasing managers must have been changed. They used to have nice clothes but fit the past few months is becoming like a cheap store and not that many options. By changing the way they are operating they will lose customers.”
“Fuckin dirt hole place sick n tired
Spends 50 00 on baby clothes
Your stupid staff can't remove the tag
So now I left with nothing for my son
N no I don't have a receipt I was there on Friday n evey 2nd Friday from there
GO STRAIGHT TO HELL ASS HOLES
HOPE THE STORE GOES UNDER SOON”
“Winners in port coquitlam unfortunately in the past year has really fallen , most of shelves are empty and not much selection plus the fact lots of shop lifters who look high and dangerous in the store filling up their baskets and no one cares and winners doesn't seem to care about their paying customers to create a better safe shopping environment worst store I will never go back”
“Winners in Richmond hill, Red Maple Road. Even though owner close by, dog was off lease on the ground and there were two other dogs on lease while in line up. Didn’t feel comfortable as the crowd may set off dog and he attacks. Customer service did not do anything. Also dog smell lingers in the air. Some people have allergies to dogs. Is the dog buying or the human?”
“When I called to ask if they have a piticular line of carry on luggage that we bought at one location UT too small the store said they were not allowed to look.”
“For online shopping with winners there is a huge variety of articles which is amazing however on delivery the lorry had no fridge so all the ice creams delivered to me melted, same for the frozen samousas, boulettes and meats :(”
“I had a bad experience with this manager at Winners store. Her and her other staff members are so Racist. Stop the mockery, and don’t be like the wicked devil that was cast out from heaven with his wicked angels. Don’t let the devil over power you. Stop Racism. Winners store on Pembina Hwy. I did not order anything, but i did bought something there that day. Ye without sin cast the first stone. I will never shop there again.”
“I didn't have any recipes, so I wanted to return one thing. Still, it is fresh and comes with a retail ticket. The cashier told me I had to take $7 off the original price if I wanted to return it. Venessa answered the phone when I contacted Winners on Bayfield Street in Barrie, Ontario. I tried to explain the situation to her, but she kept saying, "Rudy, I can't continue the conversation with you. sorry to call them. I was simply curious whether the rules had changed. Please don't be impolite or angry with consumers!”
“Worst Boxing Day sale I’ve ever been to at winners. It looked like all the Christmas merchandise had just been taken away (like coffee, candles, cosmetic sets, etc). A couple of rows of Christmas decor and other items that had been there for a few days and lots of damaged items. I used to shop at winners a lot but not anymore… super disappointing.”
“Would have given a 5 star except for the price stickers are getting very hard and annoying to remove . Trying to give presents and it takes so long to get rid of those sticky tags. Please, please change them.”
