Ladies Win at Winners


To the great delight of the ladies, Winners has come to town. Since it opened in late September, there have always been cars in the parking lot, and when one goes inside, one sees almost only ladies. The occasional blokes that I do see look as stunned as I feel. 
Added Note: Apparently, Winners is a Canadian discount chain, but I would have to say that it is an upscale discount chain.
The ladies, however, are as pleased as punch, including the beloved one.


There is a fairly substantial men section where the occasional woman might purchase a piece of clothing for her significant other. I said, “Might,” for I haven’t encountered too many shoppers of any sort of gender in there. 


It’s a surprisingly large store. Sometimes, a smaller town like ours will get an outlet that is smaller than a city store of the same ilk. Our WM, for example, is not tiny, but neither is it as large as the one at Centrum. It’s the same with our Marks franchise.


Back outside, there is a puzzling thing in the parking lot.


It’s the Accessible parking spaces so far from the door. While there are 4 accessible spaces near the door, people do find the location of this secondary site a little puzzling.

However you get there and wherever you park, it seems to qualify as a wonderful place for women. While the occasional man, comme moi, will enter, I don’t think that I ever seen one who is unchaperoned.

    1. Just checked. Apparently, it is just Canadian, a kind of upscale discount store if that makes any sense. I might edit the post to include this info.

  2. We have a similar store in the sense that I’ve never seen another guy in it when I’ve been in there, called Hobby Lobby.

    Perhaps those handicap spots are for those with motorized wheelchairs.

  3. Those stores can be fun to browse in. However, I'm not a browser. People have told me that I shop like a man--on a mission to get what I need and then OUT.
