Today was the grand opening for the Ajax & Mississauga store. There are currently five locations in Canada, all situated in Ontario -two in Toronto, one in Woodbridge and the other two that just opened today. After work I rushed to Ajax to pick-up my mom and we headed to the store together. The store was packed with people to the point where it was difficult to move around especially in the shoe and cosmetic department. One of the things that I really liked about the store was the well organized shoe department. The other departments required a bit more time to rummage around in order to find stuff.
After spending sometime in the store I started to notice that the prices for the Canada store are tremendously higher than the prices for Marshalls in the U.S. If you go to an Abercrombie & Fitch store in Canada & look at the price tags that have both the Canadian and U.S price printed on it you will notice the same trend. I don't quite understand how that works when the Canadian and American dollar are at par right now. However, even with the higher prices for us Canadians it still beats paying regular price.
Gucci flats that were selling for 50% off the retail price!
Overall, I'm glad that Marshall's has finally opened in Canada. I will definitely be repaying another visit to the store soon once the crowds die down!
