The Home Depot Canada
Category:
Nurseries & Gardening
Home Depot is your typical big box hardware store. It has endless options for ones needs.
I have been to this location a couple of times and was able to find what I need. I was looking for a rain barrel for my balcony so that I can use the water to care for my plants. I had checked various businesses and they had what I wanted, in the size I wanted, for the price I wanted.
Overall, it was a good experience but not great. I usually do self check out so I don't deal with the cashiers too often.

Had a business party here last night and was pleasantly surprised. The outside does NOT represent the inside. As we were a group and doing a presentation we had access to the lounge area.
It had a big screen television so we were able to keep an eye on the hockey game while doing business stuff. Yes, we woman can successfully multi-task! There were nice linens on the table and the painting was simple but elegant. The only thing missing were some art on the walls but if that's all that missing, I would say they are doing pretty good.
Now down to the pizza! OMG, WOW! That's all I can say. We had the veggie and a meat one and they were both fantabulous. What I really liked was that the restaurant willingly made half with items some liked and half without. Actually it was their idea so that we could make it easier overall.
When I am out here with my husband and his daughter I will be suggesting this as a place to go for dinner. I was seriously impressed and will be back! Especially since my husband is a pizza freak!

I LOVE books and I LOVE to read. I am sad that the eReader is taking away from real books even though I have one. I always stop at a book store when I am by one. So I was out this way and I had to go look in.
I am used to large selection even at the local Black Bond but this place didn't really have much. Could be that it was a small location but it just felt lacking. The customer service was the good part of my experience here.
Since I rarely get out this way I will more than likely never be back.

My husband and I decided to stop here on a drive back from one of our favourite garden centres in Southlands. It was well worth the stop. The place is not a place where you are going to find exactly what you want on any given day.
When we stopped there we were just looking in to see if there was a door we would like for our pantry. There was one outside that we liked and went in to ask the cost. Turns out it was just dumped there so we got if for a $10 donation. It's perfect for what we need.
I will definitely be back to see if there is anything else we can use. I don't want to spend an arm & a leg at regular places like Home Depot when I am just renting the place but I do want to make it a home.
I had great service and found what I needed at a GREAT price.

When looking for a bit more selection than my local Fabricland, I stop here. The customer service is HORRID and the store is usually a bit messy but I can't help stopping here. I need to see the selection. Must be the OCD in me lol.
If you are patient and don't mind looking you will find what you are looking for. For what it is, it's not bad!

This place was also on my stops for stamps and I will say that although the place is run down and needs a face lift, the staff where helpful. They didn't carry US stamps but they did check to make sure. I didn't feel ignored at all!

The other week I was on a mission to find stamps. I had forgotten to go to the post office and just wanted to find a simple stamp to send a card to the US. Since I had worked at a Safeway millions of years ago I figured I would try them on my way home from visiting my mom at the hospital. You obviously can clean up the store but can't clean up the staff.
As I walked in the personal at Customer Service walked away and went to the station where the self check out is. I proceeded to follow her there and then she and the person at the station started to chat to one another. As I am standing there and the girl can obviously see me standing there looking to ask a question, they continued to talk and laugh together like they didn't have a care in the world.
In the end they don't carry US stamps but the way I was obviously ignored made it enough that I will NEVER stop here again.

My husband had some personal stuff to do out this way so while he was busy I took the car for a little drive and wound up here! I am a Sajeaholic. If I worked here I would be broke as I really believe in natural healing and the power of smell. I have been a convert for years since being introduced to Peppermint Halo for my migraines.
The ladies here were VERY helpful and knowledgeable about the items that I was looking for. I have a compromised immune system from a autoimmune disease (Sarcoidosis) that I have and I also have serious digestive problems so the ladies recommended that I try the Immune roll on and the Eater's Digest roll on. Both have been great for what I need them for.
The location is beautiful and the store is so well kept that if I am in the area again I will DEFINITELY be back there.

OMG, my mom is currently in the ICU here and what a DUMP this place is. I continuously see people complaining about RCH and I think they should be shown what SMH emergency looks like. It's ALWAYS overcrowded and has bed numbers on the walls of the hallways where they put people who are waiting. It's horrible.
The nurses in ICU are amazing though.

That tattoo I got, although small, was perfect. I would definitely recommend her as she is a talent. I will be back for any future tattoos I get. I already have another in mind.
