Best Record stores in Canada

Owner of this establishment has an absolute Gem of a place here in the city, got to see a small hamilton based production here the other day and I left as a new customer!

I just want to give a huge shout out to Colleen for giving me & my family the best customer service and helping me pick out the best fixtures for my home. She was very nice, patient and professional; definitely will be shopping here often. Keep up the great work Colleen!! 😊

Store hours are very unreliable. I’ve been down to the store several times at the posted hours and the store has been closed.

Google says it opens at 3pm. The voicemail says 3:21pm or 4pm. I waited for an hour and the store wasn’t open at any of those times, for the second time now.

Nothing was posted on socials about a change today and messages weren’t returned either.

I’ve wasted time, gas, and parking fees trying to shop here, but I’ll be looking to other shops that are more reliable like Bay St. Video and Vinegar Syndrome Toronto from now on.

Amazing video store with a crazy good selection of niche titles. Very welcoming place.

I am a PSW and was visiting a disabled client when he received a call from an employee of this store. I was shocked at the utter cruelty of the employee. Talking to him as if he was less than human. Shaming him for being on disability. Treating him like he didn't matter because the few essentials (dresser, lamp, microwave, etc.) were being paid for by a 3rd party. This store was getting the business. It shouldn't have mattered who was paying. The employee was insistent that my client go into the store despite the fact that delivery had been set up and paid for. My client can barely walk! The employee hung up on him more than once. I encouraged him to call the manager but he's the kind of person that despite being in tears after this call, refused to report the employee because her conduct was so egregious he was certain she would lose her job. I'm writing this review and not putting his name or the employee name in it to respect his wishes. To the best of my knowledge his items still haven't been delivered. Without the microwave his meal choices are extremely limited. BTW, my client spent thousands of hours volunteering building homes for Habitat. You should be ashamed!!!
In case part of your response is to try to deny this... I would swear an affidavit to what I heard. However I wouldn't need to because my client took the call on speakerphone and I started recording on my phone after hearing how this good, kind disabled man was being treated like he was less than human.

We went for a showing of a movie that our friend was in and had the best time. The charming owner and uproarious laughter were an udder delight. If you love movies, you have to go here.

A great local find with a trove of hard to find movies. Great selection of sci fi and horror. They sell some old movies and do rentals too. Plus a friendly and knowledgeable staff and owner!

Awesome place if you're looking to stock up on some dead media. Prices are great and the guy who runs the place is charming and personable. You can't lose. I added some bangers to my VHS collection.

Great place to find some interesting things at very reasonable prices. They have quite a large assortment of household products. The place is always clean and well organized and prices are marked clearly.

Employees that work there are also very friendly and helpful. I was completing my purchase very close to their closing time, but Julia and Matt who were at the counter still offered and wrapped several fragile items I had purchased in paper so I could carry them back safely without damaging them. That was above and beyond great customer service.

This store is definitely now definitely a preferred place for me to shop before I go to other hardware stores in the town.

store is a true treasure trove complete with friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff and owner -if you want a real unusual and fun night, go to their backroom movie screenings!

I was in your store on the weekend and found some items were priced almost as much as they would be as new. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this. I realize it’s hard to know what ever product is worth and how much it should be priced. But when the customer insists that a product in your store is selling for 3 dollars less than retail the clerk should listen and check the internet along with the customer. The clerk said she could not change the price. I was referring to a quart of paint/primer for $15.00 when you could buy it for $16.00 to $21.00 new and unmixed. I wanted to give your store the business but I walked out. I would have gladly paid $10.00 for it if given the chance. I found 2 cans of paint that were marked for $5.00 but the clerk said that someone just put that sticker on the can. I could have argued about getting it for $5 but I didn’t. Anyways take care.

What an awesome store!
Great collection of classic VHS titles and DVD movies.
Pure nostalgia!
Cinderella VHS for $1.00

Always find something awesome here every time I visit. I love that they have a bunch of odds and sods. Little bundles of markers, gift bags, lined paper, magazines, half packs of screws, etc. majority of thrift shops pass this stuff by and it continues on to our landfill… I appreciate that they take the time to put these items out to be saved.

Biggest ReStore I've ever been to! Great place to find a bargain and they have good deals on furniture, appliances, and more. They have an amazing well-organized media room that is filled to the brim with books, DVDs, games etc, and they also have a great selection of brand-new clothing. I love thrifting here for high-quality second-hand furniture as they get great items donated and there is always something unique and interesting to find. Staff and volunteers are always so attentive and lovely. A must-visit place in Lindsay if you love to thrift!

I hate to say it, but their prices are getting a little high. I saw a small metal tray today, nothing special, for $25! Should have been $5 at MOST. The furniture is also priced way too high for some items. Yes, thrifting is trendy, but don't forget that more and more people need to purchase secondhand these days because of financial hardship, not because of a trend. Inflation isn't an excuse for higher prices when you are a donation-based charity.

I used to go to the Uxbridge store, but they have permanently closed. This store is much bigger and a better set up. I was shocked at some of the prices considering that it is supposed to help people in need, seemed a little high. All in all a good store and a good cause. This is a reply to the owners response. I brought a wing chair in that was about 10 years old(but still in great condition). I paid about 70 bucks for it at a clearance sale at the Brick. Within minutes, you had it on the floor for 65 bucks. I saw other items whose prices were higher than what they should be. Also, I am not the only one who has commented on the pricing. In fact, many people have commented. Time to reconsider your pricing. One would think that your primary goal is to supply items and materials to people without sufficient means to purchase them at a retail location. Instead, you are pricing higher, closer to retail, to support a charity that supports those same people. Seems to me if you start with proper pricing, your charity wouldn't need to raise as much money.
