Blog 44 - Monday, March 30, 2015

There will only be ONE (1) blog this week. No school Friday.

My favourite retail chain FUTURE SHOP closed down this weekend.  I was very upset.  Not only did many people lose their jobs, but in this changing economy, a major retailer closed down.

What is your favourite retail store?  Why is it your favourite?

How would you feel if one day it shut down? Explain.

  1. My favorite retail store is Garage. This is my favorite retail store because I feel like the style that they provide is the style I suit and the style I like. There are obviously other stores that I like besides the one I chose, but Garage is somewhere I go more often to. I would feel so furious and so sad if it ever shut down, I am very picky with what I wear and I want to wear something I am comfortable in, and not something I feel uncomfortable in.

  2. My favorite store of all time is Hollister. Hollister clothing fill my closets and drawers, it's basically all I wear. Although there aren't any Hollister stores in Quebec, they will always be my favorite. Whenever I visit friends in the US I look forward to shopping there. I feel very comfortable in Hollister clothing and I find it goes extremely well with my style. There are a lot of nice clothes for each season, and the store always smells fantastic! I couldn't imagine not having a Hollister. It is already far away, who would be cruel enough to take it completely away from me. I would have to find a store that is similar, but nothing will ever be as good as Hollister, that's for sure.

  3. By far my favourite store is Garage. I love the clothing at Garage because it is not only comfortable, but stylish. Sometimes it can become very hard not to buy the entire stores collection! Garage clothing has a certain style of clothes that I really like. I love how often there selection of clothing changes. I enjoy being able to go to garage very often without seeing the same clothes that I already tried on, and bought. Another reason why I love this store is because it originated in Montreal. I find that really cool! If Garage were ever to close, I would be very upset and wouldn't know where to shop! Overall, Garage is definitely my favourite store ever!

  4. My favourite store is sports experts. It's a store with different sections that have different sports in each section. I like sports experts because they have sports equipment like hockey sticks, soccer cleats, a football and a baseball bat. I don't play all those sports but I'm just showing the variety. They also have sports clothes like Nike shirts, Adidas pants and others. Another thing that they have is sports shoes.They have all the newest styles from the best brands. I also like that they have accessories for sports like water bottles, tennis racket strings and hockey tape. I find that sports experts has everything that a sports crazy kid like me needs to have the best equipment, sports clothes, sports shoes and sport accessories.

  5. My favourite retail store is Greenhawk. Greenhawk is tack store which means they sell stuff for horses and their riders. I love greenhawk because they have pretty much everything you need and it’s not crazy expensive!! I get most of my stuff from there but there are other tack shops closer to my barn that I go to as well. If greenhawk were to ever close down I would be a little sad because I love their stuff but if they do close everything would go on sale and be super cheap!! Also there are many many many tack shops so I wouldn’t be worried that I’d have to drive an hour to get to one!

  6. My favorite store is Aeropostale. I love this store and the clothing is really nice and is really good quality! I also really love how one of my favorite youtubers, Bethany Mota, has her own clothing line there and it is really unique. The clothing fits me really well and if you were to look in my closet, 70% of my clothing is from Aeropostale! I am still really disappointed because they close in the fall of 2014. I really loved their store and it sucks that they closed every store in only Quebec!

  7. My favorite retail store by far is Garage. I love Garage because the clothes are really nice and the style at this store is amazing. They always come out with great clothes and in the summer their clothes are so colorful. I just hate when you walk into a store and only see black, gray and white. I am also really happy with the quality of the products they sell. The items can be expensive at times but the quality is great and lasts a long time. I am very happy with the store so if it would close down it would be terrible. I buy most of my clothes their so I wouldn’t know where to buy my clothes. This is my favorite retail store.

  8. I think my favourite retail store would be Costco. Well I am not sure if it is a retail store. It has like everything. Costco is extremely huge with a big selection to choose from. All of their stuff are really good quality. Not only that I think the store is really organized. Whenever I go to a store and I see something I like; well I will pick it up and look at the price and guess what, it is in the wrong section so now I need to wonder the whole store to find that section and then find the price.I also love their free food samples. To be honest I love Costco mostly because of their free samples (like it is free food who doesn’t like free food).One other reason why I love Costco is because it’s one store with product from all categories. For instance there is food, clothes, school supplies, technology and etc. Anyways if Costco was to shut down I would burst. I would be really sad. Costco is where I get most of my things (except their clothes, I don’t like their clothes that much) .So if Costco closed down it would make my life so complicated. Also keep in mind that this is my opinion so it may be different from yours. Maybe you HATE Costco, it does not bother me it is everyone’s personal opinion.

  9. My favorite retail store would probably be a store called ABC Store. I know it sounds very strange but it sells absolutely everything! This store is found in Hawaii. When I say that they sell everything they actually do! they sell things like food, pre-made meals, shampoo, conditioner, clothes, hair stuff, drinks... On top of all this, the store is on like every street corner in Hawaii. I would be very surprised and mad if the next time I go to Hawaii they are closed all through out the island. Once I was actually walking on the side of the road and I saw two ABC Stores right in front of me. Probably none of you have ever seen an ABC Store before, but I guarantee that if you ever go to Hawaii you will definitely see an ABC Store.

  10. My favourite retail store is sports experts. It's my favourite store because it has pretty much everything I want. I usually would buy running shoes from sports experts, new hockey equipment such as hockey sticks, skates, gloves etc. They also sell really nice sport hats. They have winter hats and summer hats. They also sell other equipment from other sports like football, basketball, soccer etc. Also they sell top of the line companies like Nike, Adidas etc. I would be sad if they closed.

  11. It would break my heart to pieces if Hollister closed down! In my opinion, this is the best store created. I love how their clothes are always trendy and comfortable at the same time! I always had a passion for fashion ever since I was little, so I never want to be late on trends. Though at the same time, comfort matters a lot to me because if you’re not comfortable you won’t enjoy what you’re wearing! Hollister includes both comfort and style, so it’s a bonus when a store has all your needs! I also really enjoy how their clothing is beach styled. Since we live in Quebec having hot weather and going to the beach is not always possible. Though wearing beach styled clothing makes me think it’s always the summer!The only problem is, they don’t have this store in Quebec, if they did it would make this store even more perfect (if that was possible)!

    1. I've heard of Hollister many times before, but I've never been to one, I haven't even been to the states yet! Based on your opinion, Hollister seems like a really cool store. I always see people walking around with Hollister shirts and they look nice. Great blog Capria!

  12. I know it’s weird but I love shoes. From sports to formal I think shoes are awesome. That’s why my favourite store is any shoe store like the ones in Fairview. The best part of getting shoes is when you first put them on. It just fells fresh. They have such a wide selection. From montage shoes to golf shoes those stores have it all. Nobody would be able to find the right shoe without all the employs. You wear shoes everyday so that’s why there are so many shoe stores, which is so cool. I’ve actually had my shoes for around two years so it might be time to get new ones unless I have to take old, ugly hand-me-downs. Happily these stores should not be closing any time soon.

  13. I wouldn’t care too much of a store closed down because it’s a store and i’m not really tied down to one store in particular but if I really had to choose a that that would upset me the most if it closed, it would probably be Costco. Costco is huge and you can find almost anything there, If you need it than costco has it. Even though it’s a big store you can still find what you need.

  14. My favourite store is Ardene. I like this store because it has really cute clothes and I love the accessories there. If it closed down I would be really upset. I think that they have a great selection of clothes. They have comfy clothes, summery clothes, all sorts of things. If Ardene did close it would not be the end of the world but since it is my favourite store I would be a bit sad.

  15. My favorite store is Amazon. Amazon has literally everything. For example you can buy socks with capes on them for $12. I usually buy stuff on amazon but I have also started buying things from newegg.ca. I like this website because they sell computer parts for cheaper than anywhere else. I recently bought parts to build a computer and if I sold it in a regular store it would be worth 2x as much as I built it for. I may make my own store that sells computers because I love to build them. Hopefully I can do that soon because it is something I love and it keeps me busy.

  16. I absolutely ADORE Chapters! They have a variety of books (actually more!) and they even have a section where they sell cute notebooks with additional pens and bookmarks! I love Chapters for many many MANY different reasons. When you step inside, you smell the fresh scent of books and just a, simple home smell. Then, when you start walking inside, you can see all of the bookshelves in there, decorated with more than a tub full of books! Chapters just has everything I love and need (excluding food and my family). If Chapters, were to ever close down, I would be, most likely, the saddest bookworm ever. Chapters just has everything I worship, from books, to notebooks, to pens! I don't think I would ever smile again if Chapters ever closed, but then again, there are plenty of bookstores out there!

  17. My favorite retail store would have to be HMV. I love this store because it sells all different types and styles of music. I really love listening to music doing so many things and when I buy my album’s, they are all mostly from HMV. If one day it shut down, I would feel so bad because I really like their selection that I get to choose from. I’m constantly going to HMV everytime I go to Fairview because there is one there. It is a really great store that sells great music so hopefully it won’t shut down for another while!

  18. My favorite retail store is Evangelista it is a soccer store. This is my favorite store because they have very nice cleats and the nicest jerseys for the lowest price. If you go to another store they would have cleats around 100 to 200 dollars Evangelista would have the same shoes for about 60 to 100 dollars. If Evangelista closed down I would be disappointed . I wouldn't know where to get my soccer equipment at a reasonable price. I wouldn't freak out but I would be sad.

    One of my favourite retail stores is Forever 21. Whenever I go to Fairview, my first stop is usually go to Forever 21. I first discovered Forever 21 when I went to Fairview with my aunt around two years ago. We walked into Fairview together and then we walked into one of the biggest stores in Fairview. I love it because it has many different types of clothing, it goes from fancy to laid back casual. Also, the prices usually aren't quite expensive, they usually range from $8 to $20, sometimes they go higher. If Forever 21 shut down I would be very surprised, or I'd be freaked out, like when Zayn quit One Direction.

  20. One of my favorite retail stores would probably be Chapters because I just love hanging out there and it's always my go to place whenever I have nothing to do in the summer. I love going there because I just love sitting up in Starbucks and just reading with a latte and because of the cold weather, I've been going often. I also sometimes do my homework there and it's so relaxing to just sit alone there and read. If Chapters ever closed down, I would be super depressed because I wouldn't have my usual alone time place anymore and it would be really hard for me to find another place.

  21. One of my favorite retail stores is Sport Experts , I think everyone agrees. They have everything there for most of the sports . They have shoes , jackets ,pants , shirts , tv for entertainment and the best of all is the equipment they have all of it . Whenever I go there I always come out with a bag and a smile. You can even find many discounts at this store. When I am looking for something they always find it for me. If this store would close I would have a nervous break down . Instead of going to place after place searching for anything to do with sports go to sport experts.
