This is the latest addition to feed my Shoppers Drug Mart addiction. I strolled in laden down with groceries on the opening day, looking like a vagrant, but was treated like a red carpet worthy customer. I was served by Maxine, the beauty manager, and she was simply lovely. Very sweet, knowledgeable, sense of humour and not at all pushy. I walked out happier than when i walked in and it was purely based on service received; not the cut price package of Pirate cookies that made it into my basket.
The store itself is medium sized but seems to pack pretty much everything in. You have to scoot by the Beauty Boutique to get to the main part which is pretty sneaky. It's so hard to resist all those shiny, colourful (and expensive) things. It's a well stocked Beauty Boutique too with the usual Lancome, Clarins, Elizabeth Arden etc as well as Lise Watier, Benefit etc. The rest of the store is sparkling (well, it is new) and full of the usual mixture of a few groceries, medications, cosmetics etc. Staff were genuinely pleasant and everybody seemed happy to be there.
This one is a keeper. I'll definitely be adding it to my list of places to spend money!
