Dollar Stores in Whitby, ON

“Last Saturday, I was driving to Oshawa to meet a friend. I thought that I'd celebrate her birthday early by giving her gift to her during our dinner meetup. My dilemma? I didn't have a proper, festive gift bag to put all her gift goodies in. I was using my Cirque du Soleil one. I mean, everything did fit in it. However, it's kind of misleading giving a branded bag and not a single thing is from Cirque du Soleil's gift shop. While driving along Taunton Road, I saw this Dollarama. Perfect! I swooped over to the right lane like an aggressive hawk eyeing prey, turned, and drove over to the store.I parked off to the side of the main entrance. It was surprisingly busy for a dollar store in Whitby. It was a sign that it was a decent store.I walked in. I saw the gardening section. It reminded me that I needed to repot one of my plants. Another day!I found mini balloons and knew that the gift bags would be close by. They were. I was elated.The Grogu gift bag had my heart. If someone wants to gift me it, I'd be delighted. =)I found a gift bag with an elephant and balloons. I felt like I was shopping for me. How selfish! My friend and I have similar tastes, so I knew that she would love it. It was also large enough to fit all her gifts in it.Although time was a bit tight, I still managed to do a quick-and-dirty tour of this store. I have never seen so many different varieties of sidewalk chalk in my life! The selection is extensive.I spent most of my time in the beverages, candy, and food aisles. Surprise! NOT. I found Pur gum, which is sugar-free. There was also Pure Leaf iced teas that I love so much.I lined up to pay. There must have been six people in front of me, but the lineup moved quickly. I had a nice man cash me out. I paid using a debit card. My card's tap feature had died, so I inserted it and entered my PIN. So old school. So successful!I thanked the man and left with my festive birthday gift bag. I had never swapped out gift bags in my car. I did just that in the parking lot. Success!My friend loved her gifts. I thank this store for being en route for me to swap out the gift bag. I'd love to return and shop here like a casual human being.(207)”

“Had a great experience this morning with Heather. I was looking for an item which appeared out of stock. She told me to call the store in the afternoon because they were expecting a shipment this morning, and she would check for me. As I'm leaving, she comes running out to tell me she has found some in the back. Above and beyond!”

“Just an average department store. You'll get most of the staffs. However I feel they don't stock seasonal items much. Once they are sold out you'll find empty racks.”

“The Original Kid Rock rest in peace!!!Little Rock Claire was at the store making a card for Keith and staff were amazing!!!The Brooklin store has the best staff and selection anywhere!!”
