Tsc Stores

Enjoyed my visit to TSC
Found all sales items and toured the store
Quite a variety of goods
Prices were reasonable
Will return

I have a love/​hate relationship with this store. They have some fantastic sales and some items you can’t find at CT, WM, and HD.
This store is really lacking in organization. Half the time the sale items are nowhere to be found and the clerks need to scavenge the back looking for it, if it even can be found. The other major pain point is the lack of sale items. Frequently the sale items are severely limited in stock.
This could be a great store if they fixed some of their stock issues.
You can supposedly order online and pick up in store, something I’ve yet to try but probably should.

This placed opened up a few years ago and is not far from our country place. Their flyer is distributed locally and I have noticed a few deals. They also carry certain things you will not find in local alternatives like Cdn Tire or Walmart.
The problem I have had on more than one instance is that their computer systems tells the clerk that they have the item in the store yet the clerk was unable to find it. Very frustrating.
They also have a location not that far away, in Brockville. Have not had the same issues there. Better management perhaps?
Anyway, I recently noticed that you can order items online and pick them up at a store. Maybe the Smiths Falls location woud work for that? We’ll see.

I’ve always wanted to visit this place because of the deals I see in the flyer. Well I decided to take the drive out west to Arnprior to take advantage of a particular deal I saw.
Upon arriving the store is right off the highway so easily accessible. The parking lot was generous for spots. I entered and started looking for what I came for only to find that it was sold out. This was of course after 20 minutes of wandering around the store trying to figure out where it may be. I should say wandering around with an empty cart past the same guy who I made eye contact however not once did I get an offer to help. It wasn’t until I walked up to him and say «Hey I need help finding something» that I got help.
The rear sliding doors look like they go out to an outdoor section. They do but it looks like storage for the store and not necessarily a customer oriented area.
Place just seemed mildly disorganized.
I’m going to stick with another Canadian Alternative.
