Joe Fresh

Great basics @ great $. More Kid wear @ Superstore locations. Reminds me of what Gap used to be. Nice store front. It’s pretty much self service, but staff friendly.

This is a pretty big Joe store compared to what I’ve seen in Toronto. Today they had some pretty good deals on sweaters (30% off) so I ended up buying one for my wife.
Near the back they also had some sweaters which were regularly 39 priced to 29 and still 30% off so that sweater would have been about 9 bucks off on top of that.
Joe has some decent clothes and they aren’t highest quality but the prices are pretty good for the quality.
Don’t expect these clothes to last forever like J Crew but they don’t cost 3 times as much either.

I can’t add much that hasn’t already been said. Love the deals that come though, but am often disappointed with fit and quality. It’s a good place to pick up trendy items with a short shelf-​life.

Getting good, but getting expensive.
I’m a big fan of their down jackets. I was stalking them from about 2 years ago and I’ve noticed that there is a creep upwards on prices on their overall products.
That said, there are still good deals to be found. Their workout wear is getting much better and if you know what you are looking for you will find that they are starting to use higher quality fabrics with a better design and fit.
This is really noticable in their sports wear, but their regular clothes still fit about as good as a garbage bag (on me anyways, but it’s probably only a mens clothing issue)
The sports wear is good. It is really is starting to rival the quality of Lululemon

Made my umpteenth trip to JOE’s, GOOD FRIDAY a.m. Coloured Denim Jeans for $ 10.0 (reg. $ 19.0). T-​Shirts, 2 for $ 12.0. (Sale over April 20). Really good selection on colours and sizes. Picked up a couple clearance items too.
Staff are friendly but I make a trip to granville twice a month and It’s always different personal.
My only complaint with JOE is, WHEN will there be a location opened up in Surrey? All existing JOE’s (granville, robson & n. van) are too small to hold everything. CDN Superstore in Richmond, Delta, Langley and Marine Dr. Van. have way more selection. But would be nice to have a larger locale and Surrey has the space for it!

While the clothes here are not the best, the staff are very friendly and clearly enjoy their job. Whenever I’ve been in here I hear them saying, sincerely, how this or that is so great about their store. Maybe it’s all the bright cheery colors.
As for the clothes, meh. 1 star quality. I bought a pair of skinny jeans that were al stretched out before I even left the house in them and a sweater that had mis colored yarn in it, it was subtle enough that I didn’t notice it until I saw it in daylight, but still not desirable.
They shine at customer service though and accepted my return a full 15 days (see: 14 day return policy) after my Black Friday purchase. Maybe it was on holiday return policy?
I won’t even get into labour standards issues. Anyway, friendly employees and cheap clothes.

I pass this store front often, and the mannequins sporting bright, generic clothing only make me feel shame as I think of the faceless mothers, fathers, children, grandparents that were lost in an unsafe Bangladesh factory that stores like this would not pay to regulate or monitor.
And for what? So thrifty westerners could have some pants or a top that will be thrown into the donation box when the fabric stretches or the sewing comes loose.
Shame, Joe Fresh.

For me the place is generally like a Winners… great prices but the stuff I like or fits or works for me is few and far between. I check back every so often, but rarely leave with anything. Still good for some basics like plain t’s and such though.

Love love LOVE this place! It’s a pain to get down to because I have to take public transit instead of my car. There is absolutely no way I would ever wanna drive downtown and find a parking spot in the crazy traffic. If it was more accessible I’d probably be in here several times a week.
The staff here are alright. I find certain employees really friendly and genuinely interested in helping you shop. Other times I’ve come in and most of them don’t say a word (even if I’m the only customer) or they talk amongst themselves. For that reason I only go up to certain workers that seem to care about the customers. I managed to become friends with one of the staff because he was so enthusiastic.
My favourite part about Joe Fresh? — so affordable, yet decent quality! Unlike other cheap-​chic stores like H&M and Forever 21, I find that their stuff actually lasts despite the price point being so low. You can find so many fashionable things to wear here without breaking the bank. This is also a great place to go to if you want basics like tees and tanks. Furthermore, I am really impressed with their athletic wear section; they are lots of great styles to wear even as everyday wear. I would much rather come here than spend a fortune at Lululemon (mainly because I can’t afford spending $$$$$).
The only real negative about the clothing is that I can’t fit their shorts or pants. I’m a size 0 or XS and even their smallest sizes are made big. To me their size 0’s are more like a 6 on me. — There’s that much extra room! It’s a real shame because I have seen some really lovely crocheted lace shorts that I wanted to buy.

What would we look like with no clothes or a hat?
Why naked of course, everyone knows that.
We’re too busy to make our own clothes as you know;
In the First World we forgot how to sew.
But we have lots of money and are willing to spend.
Let’s give it to others who can stitch and can mend.
We’ll need t-​shirts and dresses and maybe some vests;
But who will construct them?
Enter Joe Fresh.
We’ll make you some garments at a very low price;
Labour is cheap, buck a day will suffice.
For a dollar a day young women will sit;
In factories and sweatshops some will dye, some will knit.
We’re a public company so you can invest;
In our brand and our clothes with the label Joe Fresh.
A land of cheap labour? Surely you jest.
Have no fear bargain hunters, it’s called Bangladesh.
But exploiting poor people is that apropos?
It is when you’re Fresh and your first name is Joe.
There’s a factory there that will make your cheap clothes;
Is it safe Joe? Who cares? Do you want them or no?
Well it wasn’t safe and the building collapsed;
Tell me Joe, how many t-​shirts were trapped?
Are garments worth more than the people inside?
As careful consumers that’s for us to decide.
If I don’t look trendy friends will think I’m a square;
Nonsense! Friends who love you don’t care what you wear.
If you think exploitation is beyond your control;
Simply stop giving money to assholes like Joe.
Buy from local designers, ones who pay a fair wage;
And quality garments that won’t rip, shrink and fade.
When you look at your closet and the garments within;
Give some thought about who may have toiled over them.

that’s for the simple and basic style and décor of the store, but a 2star for its customer service. Workers don’t seem as friendly or helpful here, must be a tough job here.
Men’s on the upper floor, golf shirts at $ 19. Bigger selection than Superstore, though the women’s is pretty good.
nice there’s an escalator going down.

Love Joe Fresh!
I usually get my Joe clothing when I’m at Superstore but when I’m downtown I try to make an effort to come to this location. This store is bright, great layout, and has great selection. Two floors of fashion for reasonable price! Clearance is my best friend, check upstairs for extra great deals.

This rating is actually a 2.5, but I did find a cute fall hat there so that tipped my rating.
I remember when Joe Fresh was new at Superstore (I actually first went to one in Loblaws in Toronto). What a pleasant surprise! Great fashion in a grocery store… and at very reasonable prices!
Well fast forward 2 – 3 years later and I guess with the economy and a downtown storefront, something’s gotta give. The selection is decent — both great work and workOUT clothes — but the prices have gone up and I can find the same fashion at across the street at H&M for cheaper. While it’s a great looking store, and I walk in there at least once a week on my walk home from work (just to window shop), I have come out empty handed in the last 10 visits.
I am all for supporting Canadian retailers… but Joe, you don’t make it so easy!

For the styles you get and the choices that are available, Joe is accurately priced.
They have tons of tops, sweaters, blouses, skirts and coats. The one thing I would love to see more of are tunics. Although I did find a super cute and comfortable, while still looking sleek gray tunic there yesterday. If you have a chance, I’d say take a look, you may be surprised at what treasures you’ll find here.

I just don’t get it. Whenever I venture into the clothing section at the Superstore I always find an inexpensive garment or two which catches my fancy. I have now been into this standalone store several times and have not found a single thing of interest. Isn’t this the same stock that is in the Superstores?
I have to admit that I am less than impressed with this stores layout and merchandising so maybe that is the problem. I certainly won’t go out of my way to go there and if I want to buy some Joe Fresh garb I’ll combine it with grocery shopping.

I’m a big fan of Joe Fresh. Their skirts and dresses are my favourites though.
I’d describe their womens style as cute-​preppy. Most of the clothes are aren’t quite formal enough for a work environment, but they’re good for social events or everyday activities outside of work.

Not having to trek out of the city to find Joe Fresh items seemed like a major bonus but I’m constantly disappointed by this location.
Despite there being a good quanitity of staff in the store, there is never any greeting at the door or presence on the floor. They hide behind the cash counter and do a quality job of ignoring you, even if you’re the only one in the area. I find this unusual compared to the SuperStore stores, where people greet you anywhere and everywhere and are always there to help.
The clothing turnover is fairly quick but even with low prices, the box-​y look of the items doesn’t make it worth while. Somehow the same clothing in a grocery store setting makes them seem that much more appealing. The children’s section frequently has some fun items though and so if you’re shopping for a little one, I would check it out.

If you’re a regular Joe like me, you will appreciate the simplicity, quality, and definitely price of Joe Fresh.
I knew Super Store sold clothing but never ventured into that section while grocery shopping. Something about putting food and clothing in the same basket just doesn’t work. Seeing this flagship store on Granville with the bright orange lights drew me in.
Head on upstairs for the Men’s section, which ‘aint huge, but that’s just the way I like it. Bough decent pairs of jeans and cords for only $ 15! Heck even at the regular price of $ 30, they’re still a deal. PJ set for $ 10? Sold
I’m obviously no fashion expert but the fabric quality is fairly decent. Bettering H&M and Zara for sure at a fraction of the price.
Joe makes clothes shopping bearable. As a bonus, this store classified as ‘Grocery’ on my cash back mastercard so got 5% rewards!

I was disappointed that this store is 80% women’s clothing. My husband’s work shirts are what we are used to getting, but my local Superstore has more Joe men’s clothes than here.
I find the brand good value for the price. We’ve had his shirts for over a year, and only one sweater came apart at the shoulder seam. Others are totally fine, so I would assume that is the exception. The T-​shirt and polo shirt fabric still feel thick as they were when we bought them.

The first flagship shop for the Joe Fresh brand.
Joe Fresh normally sells at Superstores, but their clothing is all under the creative director Joseph Mimran (man behind Club Monaco.)
This store is a large 2 level store, with simple, minimalistic white tones throughout the store. Items are organized with their own color schemes, and many items come in assorted colors.
They carry a large selection of women’s wear (the whole first floor), women’s active wear, and men’s clothing. I was suprised that they didn’t carry their children’s line here.
Their clothes are stylish, keeping up with the latest styles, but at great prices. Basics in every color, and they also carry shoes and accessories. Some of the quality of the clothing might not be the best, but if you’re just wearing it for one season, then it’s worth it.
The uniforms that their employees wear are also a great representation of the brand: simple crisp white shirts, with dark denim and a grey cardigan, paired with patent flats.
Check this place out, as you’re probably going to find something.
Still thinking about that pair of knee high leather black boots.
