They've become my top spot for housewares and appliances lately along with London Drugs. They also have a surprisingly decent hardware section which is becoming more and more important as Rona keeps scaling back their hardware. My local Rona removed an entire section from their pipe fittings wall and has no intention of bringing it back.

Rona in general has really gone down the shitter, but that's another rant for another time.

I've noticed this at other places too. Pipe fittings disappeared at the local Kent stores (Irving owned) in the Maritimes. Home hardware scaled back a bit but not as drastically. We have to go to the industrial plumbing store for lots of stuff now. We're lucky to have one fairly local.
