Love shopping . The people are friendly and willing to help you.
A lot of good stores to check out, and the atmosphere is pleasing
Wall Mart as usual... prolly the best store in North America would be nice to see more Canadian made stuff sold in store...
Has what you need. Just have to drive from store to store
Several of my favorite stores in 1 place. Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart, Bulk Barn, Dollarama, Tim Hortons and the liquor store in that order.
Hard to find things. Came looking for school supplies, and they were scattered throughout the store.
Too many people abusing the handicap accessible parking. No permits, other people's permits, and young people who just don't care
I go here frequently, for groceries, odds and ends, clothing and take out. I live not far from here so I find myself stoping by often.
So there is a Wal-Mart super centre. A very nice LCBO. Beer store. Shopper drug Mart. And many other stores but in the old mall section that wasn't torn down there is a small Chinese takeout place that could be one of the best in the city. They load the container with food. Enough for two meals. No one beats their price. Not sure of the name but you can't miss it. Next to subway.
Small shopping centre but well laid out. Not a massive selection but the stores there are your necessities. The Walmart staff are PHENOMENAL. Returns are a breeze. The gentleman who works returns should be commended for his kindness and positivity and work ethic. Very dedicated employee. Purposely drive from Cambridge there because returns at cambridge are well known to be demeaning experiences every time. Management knows but does nothing. The upper James store is just a joy to shop at. Much more selection. If you’re into DIY they are starting to compete with Michaels!!! Yay!!!! The wonderful blonde woman who works the dressing room area and jewellery desk is phenomenal. Was so great to me that I helped her with a broken belt rack that was a safety concern. She asked if she could adopt me. My god I begged her to. What a wonderful woman. Store manager was awesome too and very receptive to my feedback and kind. Great Walmart. Worth the drive.
Never go on Sunday. Packed with pyjama folk and no.patience.
Good store. Not too many people. No wait to get in. In and out in 10 minutes!
Lots of parking. Convenient with a shoppers, LCBO, Walmart and other shops.
A great place for the essentials
Another Walmart. The one stop shop for those in a hurry if you need a bunch of items. Housewares, garden centre, clothing, electronics, car stuff, entertainment, groceries....yep, they have it all. They aren’t the biggest Walmart so you might not find everything you want stocked.
Awesome surprises everywhere in their new shop.
This is a pretty good mall. My beef is that the parking spaces are do you that it doesn't make sense to come here. Save a couple bucks and get dents and scratches on your car.
Nice little plaza but the need to get some better stores.
It's a good Walmart
Nice little place could be better organized but least parking is easier to find than most what's a little out-of-the-way for the places but all in all it suits a purpose
I have been in this location many many times due to location. It is always the same everytime. Looks dirty, shelves are never stocked, I go in to this Walmart and always leaving without many of my items as shelves are not stocked and need to go somewhere else to get what I need. Needs a good cleaning. Staff not helpful or friendly.
All the stores you need so close and convenient!
No express check out for people with only a few items
I hate that they changed the centre mall to an open air mall type of thing. We live in Canada and it gets cold in the winter, the old mall could have used a facelift...instead they tear it down.
Part of the original enclosed mall remains as a runt. The rest has been made into a big box style with parts undeveloped. The name used is used over and over again the same as the owners stores. This leaves no sense of which location as there is no geographic or locality nominclature Incorporated or individualized naming thus it becomes a question of checking the map for which SmartCentres is referenced.
Nice place to buy daily needs ample parking space and bank,lcbo, mc Donald is there
Very busy sometimes no carts inside Stock is limited Expired dairy products still on shelf. Good luck getting personal help. Costumer service plain no effort to show professionalism.
A very cool place with everything we need and services available
Products are well arranged. Fast and convenient. Good public transport frequency during week days.
Easy to park there!
Parking sucks but it’s a decent location
It's your run of the mill Walmart. You can get fresh, frozen and dry foods here aswell as their other usual departments. Shelves are full stacked as per Walmart's practice in business ensuring you feel everything you need can be found. Self checkouts and a Mc Donald's located with in. Fairly busy location but lines always move fast. Usual Walmart staff so friendly as required by the company.
Went to the bank & then to Shoppers. CIBC is very helpful, all the staff is nice & l had all my needs taken care of. Picked up a few things at Shoppers Drug Mart. Staff very friendly & they where asking where my service dog Hope was. It was the same day that Hope had lifesaving cancer surgery. Hadn't been there for a while so l was surprised they remembered us, told them about Hope's ordeal & they where very concerned. Made me feel good to know they care.
Walmart, i guess the name is enough and specialky for upper james walmart. Fantastic staff
Good for families with young children who don't have time to go to more than one store.
Best Optician - The Eye Society
A good place to do your shopping. It has a bank and easy convenience of everyday shopping.
My local Mall... small but warm...
Busy Walmart, but well stocked and neat. Easy to get in and out. I don't like to waste a lot of time and I appreciate that I can get in and out of the store grabbing everything I need in as little time as possible.
Decent stores...ghetto area
Organized and clean with good customer service
Bring back mall building..... Do not setup of smart centres
Following COVID guidelines in general, entrance is split so if you just want to go get a coffee from McDonalds you should walk right into exit instead.
3 stores wear open..
While the staff is helpful, location is not as easy as before the move. It is now located inside the mall.
Nice spot
It's close by and has a good combination of stores.
Good place for shopping
Very Well Organized
Nice place.
A copy cat of U.S. shopping center of the midwest
No one, and I mean no one, but myself and 2 others in my group from Orangeville, were doing anything/wearing anything to indicate that COVID was ever/is presently a thing.
Great for getting a variety of things in one area, easy parking if you drive, and its on the bus route ????
It doesn't have the grates stores
Daily livings are easy to get from stores, only bad thing is narrow parking, entrance and exits are not comfortable.
handmade kind of real produce that'll pub night thrm some moar dry herb
Wal-Mart has the best selection of bagels
Ok place. The only 2 places I go is Dollarama and the beer store.
Walmart on Upper James Street on Hamilton isn't unlike other Walmarts in Canada, with basically the exact layout as any other store. The place is normally really busy, I find myself having trouble navigating the store and it feels like being in a busy highway. Some of the employees were a little strange, one yelling at me for stepping over a wooden palette in the middle of an aisle (which I did because of how crowded it was). However, the store has a huge selection and things are rather cheap, and bring a college student it is very helpful to be close to a place where I can get all the essentials I need.
Good service
This plaza is full of shops! It has a Shoppers Drug Mart, and LCBO, A Payless, a bulk barn, a Tim's and of course a Wal-Mart. Ample parking.
Great layout and vegan options. Slightly chaotic.
Hate SMART CENTERS .
Great store very good people that work there
it is really great that you can go to Walmart which it cant get the products I want to get but there is a canadian tire and other stores
Okay plaza, I only go there for walmart tbh.. they have a couple decent stores like bulk barn.
Great experience at this location. Clean organized shelves that were fully stocked. Quite busy but didnt interfere with what we were going there for. Quick check out with friendly cashiers ready to help. Also have a large section for people to use the self checkout method which may be preferred if the lines ups at the regular cash have a line up
This is one of my preferred walmarts as it is large, has a huge selection of everything and great staff. Store is always kept clean and stocked.
Fantastic prices and outstanding work without any hidden fees. The best part is they go above what u asked for to make ur vehicle not only perform better, but look immaculate. Without charging anything extra. In a timely manner with the option of a free loaner car (Porsche)
Prices don't ring in correctly. Waited almost 10 mins for 2 different people to verify its incorrect. Self serve table has large amounts of dirt.
Great place to get all your needs met.
Not an ideal layout for a shopping centre- definitely designed for cars and as such pretty unpleasant to get around on foot, especially if you are walking to or from the LCBO in the far end. This poor review is not to speak to the quality of any individual stores, just the general usage of space.
Great stores ????
This location is super convenient for most all of your shopping needs, as well as a place to pick up parcels you have ordered online.
Walmart. Lcbo. Beer store. Tim' s. Barn. Lots of parking. Busy. Getting in and out is pretty smooth. Near other places like bank. Canadian Tire. Grocery. Restaurants. Gas. Etc. Good location to get a lot done in one area. Recommend.
Lots of parking, well maintained, ok selection of stores.
Other than the fact that they accommodate parking insanely (not good for those who don't drive) it's not bad.
Extremely busy at any time of the day or night.....
Great location. Everything your looking for in a hurry.
The food and drinks are quite enjoyable, though the some of the foods and drinks aren't made with pure fresh products.
Always the best
Not a huge plaza but there are varieties of stuff to get here and it gets busy on a normal day. Parking isn’t a problem here. One of my favourite plazas in hamilton.
It ok not enclosed for wheel chairs or walkers.
Great smart center almost has everything
Today was not as good as some days! But the problem is with the parking lot not the stores. Spaces are narrow and my car door touched someone's. She claimed that I hit her car when it just touched the door handle.
Love the line ups
Put Walmart in wrong spot/angle and not big enough. Didn't finish the Plaza or stand up to what they promised all of us! ????????
It has a lot of stores around. Wal-Mart, shoppers, payless, tim hortons, lcbo, beer store, Gnc, Ardne, Subway and so on..but most of the stores are quite small
What else can be said.. great company to keep majority used stores together in one plaza
Awesome place to enjoy great time with your kids Freindly staff and you also enjoy the experience of other parents
It's a big outdoor plaza. Walmart.Lcbo and shoppers drag Mart in it. Very convenient location.
good
A place to shop anything at any time... Even better is the wide range of discounts
Very good place it has places like Walmart shoppers drug mart a some much more
Love the shopping centers the smartcentres always have lots of space for parking
It’s the best store ever
Clean store friendly staff always well stocked
I went to walmart yesterday and did some shopping. Walmart has fairly good prices especially for christmas gift packages for personal care, perfumes..etc.
It has pretty much everything you could need or want !
I like to go there for Bulk Burn and Dolaarama. Also here's parking is available.
Very good place to buy groceries and other home things. Definitely recommend it.
Nice smart centre, but many stores in the original building don't look open most of the time
It's big but no one to help you when u need some help finding thing u would like to take home
Beer store, CIBC and a Walmart - handy!
Not to bad
Great service
I haven't actually been in the store but used the "pick-up" after ordering groceries on line. I'll be using this all the time - great system and love their substitution policy!
Got great service and had an excellent experience with the osl team. They were quick and helpful and Melissa was great
Love to visit this place. Close to my house
Smart centers are great and always good customer service I've found
Safe during Covid-19
One of the best LCBO on the mountain. Lots of free parking. There is a Walmart , Shoppers drug store, Mores, bulk barn. The is a very good shoe repair place in the little mall.
I really love this plaza. This area is just a nice one stop shop. Wal-Mart, LCBO, Beer store, Shoppers Drug Mart, Dollarama, Tim Hortons, Bulk Barn. And although the parking lot is generally busy, I think it's not too bad considering just how many great stores are here.
Always a busy store regardless of time.of day but well stocked
organized as usually, parking available, self billing, and fine
Lots of good stores. New JYSK is opening soon. New LCBO is great.
Easy to get to by bus, and accessible for everyone. A one stop shop with just enough stores - NOT a huge mall with parking and crowded spaces! Best thing, there's a good size Shopper's Drug Mart!! A Tim's, Bulk Barn, LCBO, Beer Store, and a number of clothes shops for the family. Not far, on other side of a large parking lot is a Walmart.
Cute little plaza.
I got what I need quick and easy!
Pretty good plaza . It has a shoppers. Beer store. Lcbo and a Wal-Mart to name just a few of the businesses in this plaza
There is lot of ways to access this location. There is a Walmart, shoppers drug mart, Moores clothing, bulk barn, dollarama , beer store , LCBO and also a new Taco Bell Beside the Walmart. All are wheelchair accessible and the customer service representative are really friendly. I personally have visited all these locations and the staff are very professional and friendly even though there are lineups . There is also
Don't like these places.. horrible parking.. have to go to multiple centers to do shopping
Always has what I need!
It's a nice plaza and I like Walmart, they have good prices and lots to choose from
Must have got something good here. Dont remember what though....
Vast amount of parking...numerous convenient shops...in and out with ease
Lots of parking and a better mix of stores than many smart centres
It was ok
The anchor store here is a Walmart, which is nice, but the rest of the stores are located so far from it that you'd have to drive between them. Could still use more stores to become a real hub, some stores need an update.
Okay, good for shopping!!!! ????????
Great place to buy for every kind of pet you may have.
I love Wal-Mart, so cool.
One Stop shopping beer store liquor store grocery store drug store
Amazing place..I recommend.
Found what was needed and got everything required. Staff was very helpful
Great and easily accessible.
I love that they have the self checkouts.
Great parking, a lot of options to shop at. Easy to get in and out of.
The building looks good on the inside and has a good variety of shops.
Great prices. And lots of good ideas for presents
Wal-Mart
Best buy deals
No need to aay anything for this place... The name says everything... and yes they have everything... for indian people this walmart has this thing called chevdo and along with that you can find banana chips and other namkeen items...
Good store to shop. Prices are great.
Good variety and cheap price. But some of the merchandises are always out of stock.
You NEED your mask...and every store open at smart centre is really take precautionary steps... highly impressed
Its ok
Its a great plaza one stop for all your needs
Newer plaza shopping experience. Same everywhere you go now!
Good
Super fun
Still a great plaza
Nice clean friendly place
Lcbo, shoppers, dollarama, Walmart and taco bell. There's more but who cares - that lcbo has the best selection of hipster beer ever
Ample parking...lots of home products and clothing items at decent prices
Very convenient for a wide range of products. Very helpful
I love this plaza, almost everything you would need. Very well maintained the best Chinese food Wok Express
Nice layout lots of shopping options great parking lot and clean bathrooms when you find them
Clean stores with a great selection and variety
Very organized unlike most but wish they had more selection
Very good
Dont remember going here but it's cool.
Everything you need in 1 place..
Mall parking lot is clean. Moore's has great staff. I miss the old "L" shaped mall. Hey progress is progress..
Convenient each store is different
I was surprised seeing lot of indian products and chinese products in this Walmart and live fish section made me impressed. Which I don't have seen in any other walmart
Nice and big. Lots of varieties. International grocery isle doesn't have enough varieties though.
The experience here is good as usual, the lady at customer service was very polite, real customer service. The self service really helps tons.
Usually have everything in stock I need & there is always treasures
Awesome place for shopping very clean organized and friendly helpful staff
Was ok.
It was 100 percent better when the stores were in a enclosed mall
Kinda busy, but expected considering it was 5 in the afternoon. Lol
I guess it must of been good but it s not me and I don't have a car
Excellent customer service.
Lots of good stores here, I recommend you google it to see what stores are there.
Covid protocol was being followed.
Basic strip mall containing several big box stores, including Wal-Mart and Shoppers Drug Mart. Centrally located, but has no unique draw. The parking lot can be difficult to navigate due to the multiple entrances and I have seen more than one traffic accident caused by sudden turns around corners.
Affordable items and big selection.
Walmart was great! Love the Flipp program for price matching!!
Since WalMart renovated this location has a boxy cold feeling as does the Upper James location in Hamilton.
We just had a great day shopping
It has a good variety of stores and a fairly good amount parking. Usually pretty clean.
Sad these stores have to stay closed
Long line ups, did not have what I needed and customer service was difficult. Don't buy any electronics from Walmart. They will not refund even if it's not used also will not give refund, will be a store credit. Good luck if they don't have what you need!!
Never a hassle price matching. Decent produce. Meat selection can be tricky so mind what you pick up but still mostly good. Often sold out of 710ml coca cola bottles and oversized packs of toilet tissue would be my only complaint. Not an issue for families but when a single person in a one bedroom apartment usually won't have storage for 80 rolls of toilet tissue.
The parking lot was designed with narrow spots, so it's a good place to accumulate dings in your car - quickly sometimes. If it wasn't for the fact of its central mountain location, and you need to visit more than one of the stores there, I would avoid it.
Was not as busy as i anticipated, but out of stock on so many items
Walmart can have quite a line at times. The rest of the mall is pretty good. All asking covid questions before entering. Good size Dollarama,. There is also subway, Tim Hortons, and bulk Barn.
I shopped at Dollarama. A customer service representative/sales assistant aided me in finding suet for birds. The store wasn't crowded and was able to use self-checkout with no difficulty.
Has very good Walmart ! Other than that its is same
Good service and prices
Store is consistent where products are displayed. Checkout was fast easy and friendly
Walmart always haseverything at a good price
Nice little plaza , no much there , but was is there is fantastic (LCBO/ Beer store / Dollarstore / Bulk Barn etc.)
I have to give 5 stars cause I pretty much love here. Haha. No it is a good place though considering Dollorama, shoppers, bulk barn, and Walmart are all in one place! Check out this awesome little store called the Olive Branch** inside the old mall section. Grab a sub for lunch! Get a coffee from Tim hortons. One of my fav places to spend a few hours out on a Saturday or Sunday. :) Olive branch is an amazing little gift shop. Every one always says "where did you get that".... the Olive branch is usually the answer!
Amazing
I go to Wal-Mart here once a week...I like most of the stores in this center but they are so far apart now that I end up not going to the rest of the stores because of it. It is really busy with cars and they are oftwn careless. Be very careful when walking (even driving from one store to the next.
Lots of Good Stores / Banks / LCBO / Grocery Etc. to choose from.
Not a fan of Supercenters. They are loud, overcrowded, dirty, confusing and dangerous. They are also full of stores and businesses that are unethical, dishonest, cause damage to the environment, profit off slave labor and support/finance global corruption.
Lots of parking. Good selection of shops
It is a good idea to be there to find something you need from stores located there, like Dolorama, Payless, and some varieties store, then you can finish your visit with some food from several restaurants there, or drinks from Tim Hortons. It is a good idea, especially in the winter time.
Great staff and properly maintained store I never found a empty unit
I love it l'm going back!
Walmart, the beer store, dollarama, payless shoes, tim hortons, a great shoe repair shop.
I often go here to people watch and borrow the complimentary scooters for a quick ride around the supercenter. Super it is indeed. I also enjoy the little horn they installed on the scooters. Beep beep.
Has everything I need in there Walmart shoppers liquor store in and out and beer store
I was greeted and sent to station asking questions for covid safety and on my way to shop smooth
The mall is located at Upper James and Fennell Ave. The mall is spacious and there is lots of parking.The mall is designed for cars. Access for walking is good.There are a small selection of modern stores.The property is very well presented and clean.
Its ok
Super huge awesome place!
Very nice n i would say the canada's best place to shop in my view and could find any thing n the wonderful staff n associates
Go during good weather or get soaked or freeze..lol
Everything you want is there..nice shopping center..
great place to shop
Walmart Shoppers Drug Mart Dollarama Tim Horton’s Bill Barn Good variety of stores !!
Love that you can everything you need in 1 store
They have everything there great place to shop
I enjoy this Walmart. It's not a very large one but it's also not one of the really tiny ones that doesnt even have foods. It's always really clean. I've never had any issues returning items. I can usually find exactly what I'm looking for The only department that I have a hard time finding my specific items is in the makeup section. They're always out of my specific foundation or powder cover ups and on a few occasions out of my color eyeliner. But other than that specific department; I can always find exactly what I'm looking for????
All these places are decent. Thats why they keep poppin up.
Easy to find anything and welcoming customer service
As you would expect, you can get just about anything here. I would like to see more floor staff for customers who have questions and the line up at the cash is incredibly long.
People were socially distancing and everyone was wearing face masks. Today I didn't have to wait long in those long lines. The cashier was very nice for a change and she actually made eye contact .
Michael's was fast and easy today. Went right in and found what I needed. Cashier was pleasant and cleaned between customers.(interac machine and such) Masks are mandatory but that's fine.
Parking is very bad here. They made the spaces smaller to accomodate more cars however that results in people damaging other cars when getting out of theirs. Selection at this smart centre isn't the best but has the essentials like Walmart, Dollarama, shoppers etc..
The stores are awesome, the parking lot is a mess, especially on the side of Walmart, the parking spots are marked so small is annoying, I wonder how many car doors have been dented in there.
Walmart, shoppers drug mart, LCBO and beer store...what else do you need? Oh yeah...and a Tim Hortons
I went to the Walmart there, it's a great Walmart pretty big, lots of variety of all kind of things and groceries. Also has pharmacy. Good customer service.
Clean and friendly and helpful staff.
Found what l wanted in one place. Good place to shop
Did not have the oranges that were on sale . This happens alot here
Ample parking
Simple less expensive shops.eye society is great
The parking lot is a nightmare.
Not very organized. I find it crowded and unclean. Floor staff very unfriendly.
lots of stuff in one place, saves on gas
Nice place to.shop
Great selection of stores. They have a groceries to electronics
It's the Walmart closest to me so it's my go to store. Love the ad matching!
Quick stop for last minute items.
Great location. Lots of shopping options!
It's a great place to shop
Very clean huge selection.this walmart has everything .best one to go to out of all the walmarts i ve gone too.now i go there all the time.the staff very friendly
Conveniently located at fennel ave and Upper James with LCBO SHOPPERS DRUG MART CIBC
Decent shopping mall, very busy, Taco Bell addition is dope.
This Wal-Mart is horrible. Constantly under stocked. To the point where an item may not be on the shelf for over a week. Try to buy baby formula on cheque day? Impossible, every month they run out on the 20th. Seems like they finally get some on the 1st, but of course the mass majority of this stores shoppers are welfare. So you better get everything before they get in there or you will be waiting a week minimum.
Went to Walmart but they didn't have the cat food I needed are often out of what I use plus Campbell's tomato soup was on special for $0.57 and there wasn't even one can so was disappointing this time
This location is convenient, always has parking available and had a good variety of useful stores.
Love Wal Mart. This location is not the best in the city, but definitely one of the better ones throughout the city. Well laid out and organized, easily accessible washroom amenities and customer service help. Store associates fairly easy to come across if you need assistance. Many self scan price check stations scattered throughout the store to make unlabeled items easily priced. Some of the sections, for example the pet section, are really quite lacking for what you would expect a wal mart to carry, but definitely makes up for what it lacks with layout and availability of the items and well padded sections. Great fresh & boxed/canned grocery section. Very helpful and friendly staff for the most part. Wish the self checkout lanes accepted cash, but the express lane checkouts are quick and well organized to work through a long line. Overall great experience there, but could improve a bit to match what the Ancaster Wal Mart Supercentre and the Centennial Parkway Wal Mart Supercentre offer!
Walmart shopping.
