...aw wtf I could've started brownnosing before I even started there with this.
Quick Uniqlo store rundown:
It's one of the larger Uniqlos I've been in, with the 5th Avenue store in Manhattan still being the largest.
Selection is good, and I initially thought they wouldn't have their complete collection, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Or if anything's missing, it's not notable for the most part. Uniqlo x Lemaire Collection is the only thing I can think of that's missing.
It's cool that they have some Canadian brands featured like Drake's General Store. I hope that's permanent, and expanded a little/stocked better. I guess I could also go to one of their locations lol.
Store layout on the first level is weird, with high shelf/rack units being at the front, almost like they're hiding the store. I spent some time in that area getting disappointed that items in my size are gone. Though it also provided equal amusement seeing my fellow Generic Asians scoop up the light down jackets. I almost picked one up, to be honest.
The second floor is nice, smaller space but there's a wide area that's open enough. It's where their jeans, basics, Uniqlo U collection, and anything else missing from the first floor are located.
What makes the store feel really spacious, and I only just realized this today, is that clothing racks are kept at a minimum. Everything is either on a shelving unit, on tables, or along the wall. Contrast to H&M where some of their stores are almost too tight with how many racks they lay out. I guess the con on this is stock is more noticeably depleted.
I got really overwhelmed with how busy it was that I didn't buy anything despite having a few items I wanted to pick up. Hopefully the Yorkdale launch splits the crowd a bit.

Sounds like the apple store of clothing stores. I've always been tempted to buy some of their stuff online but I keep reading that they run big so I chicken out.
They have 40% sale on their site till midnight
I figured out my sizing with them, so I can probably skip the fitting rooms for the most part.
Their sizing is inconsistent with my body type relating to the size tags. That being said, their clothes do fit me perfectly imo when I get it right.
My American Eagle jeans are my favourites right now. Only when their Buy One Get One 50% Off sales are on do I consider picking up stuff.
I do want a pair of Uniqlo selvedge jeans though.

All their jean lengths are 34 😆
I didn't even see it there, but other Uniqlos offer basic hemming for free.

Yeah it is free. Just sucks I can't walk in, get what I know fits and walk out though.
I feel it the struggle. I blame white people.

damn clutch timing on me seeing this. Needed another hoodie.
Couldn't watch the game today, but I got alerts all afternoon on my phone. I'd see a game update and I'd be nervous, then be okay when it's for the Jays and not against.
God damn I need 28's
Haha that's pretty much my experience when I can't watch a game live.
It seems it's still 40% off.
Welcome to my world. Any time I buy pants I generally have to add the cost of hemming.
I love Uniqlo, just got from a trip to Japan where they're everywhere.
Their stuff is super cheap, super comfy, pretty nice looking and pretty durable, so It's perfect for how lazy I am at clothes shopping. So I'm looking forward to checking out the downtown one once the hype has died down a bit.

Good luck. I might check it out again tomorrow. Hoping it isn't too crowded, but who knows.
Prices here aren't too bad, but still a bit of a markup from the prices when I bought a ton during my trip in September.
I'm happy that the stuff I want is already here, and I'm probably going to load up on more whenever I get the chance.

Just wait til there are printed tees and possibly printed vidya gaem tees.
I've been tired from work and forgot about this place for a bit. Starting meetup planning, it'll be the Saturday 2 weeks from now since that's all I'm free for this month. If anyone is interested they can plan the meetup themselves and have more options available. Throw recommendations and I'll look into them.
Amending my quick store recap, they do have Uniqlo x Lemaire.
I've seen some of those. Manila/Asia (maybe?) had Disney- and Pixar-branded stuff. Didn't like the designs so I skipped them. There were also brand designs (Coca Cola, Hershey, etc.), but I also skipped them for the same reason.

So the 22nd? That should be good for me. I still have to get that pitcher of beer.

I haven't been here yet, but this might be a good meet-up place to try: http://goodgamebar.ca/
As many lineups as there are here, at least we didn't have the Tsawassen Mills disaster:

I don't know what the deal with the mall is, but it just opened near Vancouver and it attracted too many people.

It is basically Vaughan Mills. The insides and the shops list looks the same. Vaughan mills works only because it practically has it's own highway exit, and even on boxing day and such it can take half an hour to get out when people park on the grass (just like that article).
Was at Uniqlo yesterday. No graphic tees, no sale from me. I'll check back in Spring when they're finally ready.
