Review from Amy T.

I love going to Winners for all my home decor or kitchenware. I had to buy a pitcher last night and found one within 2 minutes. Not only was it half off the original price, it was really high quality. I even saw the same pitcher in the mall for $6 more. I just happened to stumble onto that, but I usually don't like to shop around too much.
A quick in and out and back home to enjoy my new pitcher, - Yay for Sangria season! -

4/7/2012 2 Check-ins Here
I love Winners and Homesense. I literally visit both stores on a weekly basis just to check out if they have anything new.
However, this store just rubs me the wrong way. The selection of items, meh, you start to know what you can expect at Winners/Homesense. The store is decently clean but never pristine. What do you expect when hundreds of people are rummaging through the racks right?
What's extremely annoying about this store (and hence the 2 star review) is how they treat the customers. I'm not sure if it's just the hiring policy or what but I always feel like I'm a farm animal when I go to this store. Every time near closing they start shooing people out of the store. Literally. I have had staff corral me towards the door as I head in the opposite direction trying to find my boyfriend. I get a "That's not the direction of the door!" Oh, thanks a million! I hadn't realized which way I came in! Or while I don't want to stand in the closing rush line up, I browse a few more items while I meander my way towards the checkout, I get a reminder "You can't shop any more. The store is closed". Oh really? Like the last 20 announcements you made over the last half an hour was not obvious enough? Seriously, if the staff were actually at the checkouts helping the line-ups instead of roaming around the store being rude for being rude's sake, maybe the line would move faster.
So:
- Winners/Homesense, still one of my favourite stores and this one is not too different.
- Do not go visit this one close to closing time
- Seriously get some better staffListed in: For the Home

I dont wander in here often other than to take a quick peek in the housewares and kitchen gadgets sections..or the kids toys during Christmas. Its usually a mess in the kitchen-to-bed sections, shoes..and well, the rest of the store other than the general square walkway.. prices are not bad, but the line ups can keep you there for quite a while. Do yourself a favor and hit up the Winners on Cambie and West 8th.

Meh. It's ok. Even comparing with other Winners stores its only ok. They don't seem to get a lot of new stock. Their men's selection is ... well not even worth looking at.

These two combined stores are a great place to stock up on things for your home and your closet, all on a budget!
In the Home Sense side, find a ton of cute kitchen gadgets, wine glasses (Set of 4 Reidel wine glasses for under $40!), cook books, bbq tools, bathroom towels, you name it. I just picked up a stainless steel kitchen compost bin.
In the Winners side you'll find a great deal on brand name clothes and accessories. In the past I have picked up Nine West shoes, Mexx dress pants, and recently a pretty Matt and Nat purse. Score! The prices are about half off regular price and may be a little out of season, but if that doesn't bother you, you can score some great deals here. It's a good place to get nice work clothes on budget. I was contemplating a pretty BCBG top I really wanted but even with the discount it was still too much, but it just goes to show, that if you are willing to look through the racks, you can find some pretty nice stuff.
When this place is busy it gets pretty messy, because people are slobs and throw stuff on the ground rather than hanging things back on the racks if they don't want the item. The shoe section can get especially messy.
The staff at the check outs have always been quite pleasant at this location. You'll have a hard time finding anyone on the floor to help you, though.
