Store Layout and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "First time visiting this new store and was pleasantly surprised. Everything well laid out with pleasant, helpful staff."
  • "It was a nice store, spread out over 3 floors plenty of lifts for people, as well as the automatic stairs."
  • "Love the new store, all the goods are nicely displayed, there is room to peruse without feeling squashed."

Cons:

  • "The product displays can look a bit messy especially on a busy weekend."
