Winners is like the slightly cheaper Marshalls that had a name change. When you compare the two, you really wonder if they're the exact same company with only a name change on the outside (since everything on the inside is exactly the same - especially if you've just come from one to the other).
Winners has got all your standard clothing sections, household furniture/decor, kids toys/costumes, baby clothes, beauty, travel related items, cooking tools/snacks and food that you can cook, etc. Might as well be "expensive Walmart" (of better quality? Debatable).
There's a lot of Sanrio (Hello Kitty, Cinnamonroll, Kuromi, etc) merchandise all over Winners, found in the tech area, home goods, and a few other places. Also noticed that a lot of clothing stores are selling the orange t-shirts that are placed at the front entrance of their stores: The Every Child Matters t-shirts.
The fitting rooms floors are kind of dirty. Visibility dusty. And clumps of what I assume is material that came off of clothing. I've been in some pretty clean fitting rooms, and Winners never had those.
The washrooms were pretty clean - for a Winners... Which was quite the welcome surprise.
We were able to find a bit more deals here. Either a better price, quality, clearance clothing item than where we had hit up previously in the area.
Overall, this Winners felt nicer - for a lack of a better word. The atmosphere felt slightly different than from the other Winners I've been in (it's better - perhaps the fitting rooms entry design choice?).
It does have a lot of people inside hunting for deals and such, so you will have a lot of competition to find what you like. There is a lack of a larger pool of clothing choices to pick from. And if Winners doesn't have what you're looking for, go to their more "slightly expensive sister store" (at least it seems like it), Marshalls. Will there be more diversity? At least the stuff that's missing will be...

Saturday November 11/2023 1:50pm I am writing to share a recent experience at the winners store located at 200 Windflowers Gate Woodbridge, ON. My daughters and I were shopping there, and although I didn’t find what I was looking for me, we ended up purchasing some toys for the kids.
As we were leaving the store, two assistants, one of whom was named Loretta .P, approached us. They informed us that customers are not allowed to take shopping carts outside the store. I explained that I recently undergone shoulder surgery and assured them that I only intended to move the cart to the space between the two exit doors for ease of handling the items and my child.
Despite this explanation, one of the assistants insisted that I could not move the cart any further. I reiterated my intention and asked for understanding due to my medical condition. However the situation escalated when Loretta. P attempted to pull the cart from my grip, with my 2- year-old still inside it. This action was alarming and could have resulted in harm and to my child.
I am deeply concerned about this interaction for several reasons.
Safety of children: This physical intervention with the shopping cart, especially with a young child inside, pose a significant safety risk.
Customer Service: The approach taken by the staff lacked understanding and accommodation for a customer’s physical limitations.
Professional Conduct: The interaction felt confrontational rather than helpful.
I believe it this incident warranted attention for the safety and well being of customers, especially those with young children or...

I came back to complain and ask why that person insulted me . Asked for the manager name and Maria g was her name .she shout at me and said they can insult any body without any evidence randomly . She said if I have any problem should talk to the costumer service . I asked for their name , Maria g and Maria p . I don’t let it go and will bring the issue with their costumer service as well and never go back to this store . Never been this much upset . Just because I tried some clothes and didn’t buy they didn’t have any rights to insult me . Specially Maria g the manager was very rude and she didn’t care about the costumer feeling . She constantly insulted me. Just because I was asking for the reason they insult their long time. Costumer . Their supervisor should know how they treat their costumers . I am still shaking from their behavior .they even didn’t apologize .this incident happened on nov 18 , 2023 at 6 pm. They accused me when I was in the store and even didn’t go out . Terrible experience. My only guilt was trying to buy some cloth. They disrespected me probably because I was minority but racism doesn’t have any place in this country.i constantly asking myself what was the reason that I deserve this . My mental health is ruined just because I tried to buy a coat to go to the party . Somebody should be...
