Joe Fresh

Good sale prices, but check your credit card bills. Unlike well established online shops like Gap or Zara, they routinely overcharge because of billing mistakes. Also, sometimes orders are shipped incomplete because their online inventory is not accurate.

I have been so disappointed in my experience with Joe Fresh online. I ordered on ⁴⁄₁ and paid for 3 day shipping as we are leaving ⁴⁄₈ for a trip. I have called them to check on the order and then to cancel as I don’t need it if it gets here after we leave and they won’t let you cancel if it is outside of the 1 hour window of ordering. The smart thing for them would have been to expedite the order on 4/​4, ⁴⁄₅ or even today and yet nothing. It still shows as in progress on ⁴⁄₆ (today) and while they are pleasant on the phone, they have zero idea of how to actually fix an issue. Why have an option to pay for 3 day shipping if you aren’t even going to ship it within 3 days?

I drop by Joe Fresh oftentimes when I go shopping at Loblaws. The last 5 times I went I didn’t find anything that I liked whereas previously I could find one or two things at least. My husband could not find a decent pair of shorts there. Now things seem to have gotten really cheap in quality. Shirts really thin, short in length and even more casual… On one hand they have cheap biz clothes and on the other hand they have cheap stuff like slippers and sneakers like Arden.

Joe Fresh has great stuff at great prices. Their clothes are super fun and priced so low that even cheapskates like me and my wife will shop there so we have clothes to go out. So, I love Joe Fresh, but I can’t say I love this store. They need more changerooms. I’ve been here on weekdays and weekends. Every time the line-​up is 4 people deep and easily a 15 minute wait. Plus, the salespeople could really be a bit more cheery! Match the clothes! Maybe they have a hard time being cheery b/​c customers get grumpy waiting in those change room line-​ups. Just a thought.

I’m a huge fan of Joe Fresh so naturally, I loved this store. Is it more amazing than the Joe Fresh inside a Superstore? Not really. As a matter of fact, I find that you can find more items on sale inside the Superstore than a free standing Joe Fresh store. I would like to see them start selling their cosmetics and accessories at these free standing stores.
I can’t wait for the Joe Fresh on Queen St W to open because that location would be the most accessible for me!

Let me pick up from Chris’s train of thought. Yeah, Joe Fresh is usually found along side groceries and given women tend to do most of the grocery shopping for the family, it’s a natural that women’s and children’s clothes would make up the bulk of the stuff here. I know women with kids also groove on the J.Freshizzle.
The men’s line is pretty muted and pretty basic. Largely lots of male basics men never have the presence of mind to throw out when they get tattered: like undies, socks and tshirts. Stuff the wife can buy and slip into the husband’s ¹⁄₈^th of the closet and the single bottom dresser drawer and he’ll never know. But there are a few seasonal items that have their appeal. Like I got this nifty black zip up jacket that I swear makes me feel at least as cool as John Koenig from Space 1999. I think it’s all the plastic zippers. Anyway, it’s going to be great for the 3 spring days we get in Toronto. Worth the $ 39 bucks. Fo shizzle.
Oldster trivia: This particular store replaces a Club Monaco that used to haunt this spot. It was an odd Club Monaco in that it used to have housewares and stuff. Anyway, nice to see a Joe Fresh some place in the downtown area.

Looking at the other reviews, I suspect the other reviewers are more focused on the women’s section. My wife loves Joe, and don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for her, but for me, the men’s clothing section is pathetic. Tiny selection, not enough stock, and the clothes are boring and poor-​fitting. The one time I found something I liked on a mannequin, I was told the order was late, and the clothes wouldn’t arrive for over a month. Cheap is great, but it doesn’t matter if there’s nothing to buy.

I’m shocked that Joe Fresh hasn’t invaded the States yet. Their clothes are cuter than the Gap’s and about half the price. And I’m not worried that they’re going to disintegrate in the wash like H&M’s threads.
On a recent visit I grabbed like 15 things to try on. No item limit in the fitting rooms means no time wasted switching stuff in and out. If it’s available the clerk will let you have the «best room in the house»; the extra-​wide fitting room for the disabled that’s as big as my first studio apartment in Manhattan.
I ended up buying 7 items, including a cute fall jacket, for a grand total of $ 120. Most of their t-​shirts and cotton tops are $ 10-​$ 16.
The staff is laid-​back and not hovering over you so you can browse in peace.
Check out their website to preview their clothes. If you have even moderately good taste you will like what you see.

Alright I lose my mental sanity when I enter Joe Fresh because I want to BUY EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!
This clothing label is a treasure for all shoppers. It is especially great for people who are cautious when it comes to cost but do not want their lack of dough to affect their style in their wardrobe.
During this winter, I bought FIVE SWEATERS for $ 85!!! They were all adorable and ranged in style and colour, from a dark lilac ¾ sleeve sweater with large button detailing on the cuff to a maroon v-​neck sweater which closes up with one single brown button to a very bright pink argyle sweater (which came in 5 different colours itself), to a vibrant yellow hoodie to last but certainly not least a deep chocolate brown plunging neck sweater.
And for this spring, Joe Fresh is on the ball with bright colours and fashion pieces that can stand through a chilly spring night to a hot summer’s day.
To add to my spring and summer fashions so far, I have bought the following…
— A peach dress that they call THE SHIRTMAKER DRESS for $ 29, which is short-​sleeved with a button up ruffled neck line
— Dark washed demin bermuda shorts, folded at the bottom, that work for a walk on the boardwalk to dressing them up with a sexy shirt and high heels for a night on the town. All of this for only $ 24
— A hunter green lightweight sweater which is great for a colder spring day or to warm your shoulders at night in the summer, which is longer with buttons going all the way down with a matching fabric soft belt to tie around. This was only $ 19.
I swear by Joe Fresh and find myself going to one of the Loblaws locations that carry it at least once every two weeks to check out any new stuff that has come in.
This is key for any and every fashionista!

If you’re tired of showing up wearing clothes that everyone else already has cause you buy from the usual suspects (Gap, Zara, UO, Old Navy, etc.), then you’re ready for the awesomeness that is Joe Fresh.
If you’ve ever been to a show at Kool Haus/​Guvernment, you’ve passed by Joe Fresh — it’s right inside the Loblaws on Queen’s Quay at the foot of Jarvis. It’s worth a quick walk from Union Station or via the #75 bus from Sherbourne station. Head inside via the parking lot or through a series of doors at the main entrance to Loblaws.
Joe Fresh is teeming with bargain-​priced basics. T-​shirts, cardigans, ‘cigarette’ pants, sandals, shift dresses and shells. Everything is modern and airy and there’s nothing super trendy or fad-​worthy on the shelves. I picked up two long, pocketed cardigans ($ 16), a beautiful patterned silk dress ($ 29), black cotton blend pants that actually approached being the right length for me (5’2) and some cute striped cotton shorts ($ 8) for lounging.
More things to love:
— no item limit for the fitting rooms. They don’t even count the items you can just go in and peacefully try on your clothes
— spacious fitting rooms with ample hooks, shelves and places to put your stuff. Lots of room to groove.
— you’ll be hard pressed to find anything over $ 30 or $ 40.
SIDENOTE: If you’re a PC Financial customer and are shopping during normal business hours, may as well get some teller work done while you’re here. I always forget that there’s an official branch in this Loblaws, so if you need any banking done that can’t be done over the phone/​online (a rarity these days), get ‘er done.

Joe, how did you know?
I’m flying back to New York this afternoon and the weather there is forecast to be ridiculously warm and gorgeous through Tuesday!
Thanks to you, Joe, I am utterly prepared for this change in temperature. The only question is which to wear first: the chocolate brown, sleeveless linen dress with beading at the neckline ($ 29) or the slim, black, cropped jacquard pants ($ 24) and the light, romantically detailed white shirt ($ 19)?
Choices, choices…
I continue to be impressed with the fit (no one ever cuts to actually fit a 5’2″ woman) and style of Joe’s offerings as well as the rapid rate of selection turnover in the store — my last visit was a month ago and already almost everything in the store is different.
I walk into Joe and immediately want everything. Thankfully, at these prices, that’s not completely out of the question!

The store was founded by one of the designers at Club Monaco, Joe Mimran and boy can you tell. The clothes here are great — well made, well cut, lots of colours and always trendy. The greatest part is that they won’t cost you an art and a leg. The prices are really great and I find it a perfect place to stock up on basics and accessories for your wardrobe.
Because of the price, you won’t find any super dressy clothes, but there is a lot of great casual wear here, and for the price, you can afford to stock up. The layout is very clean and simple and this location is conveniently located in Loblaws, so you can pick something up, or just take a peek, before you do your grocery shopping!
