Joe Fresh

Really great selection of clothing, Joe fresh is a trendy new fashion shop that has really nice clothes. You will not be disappointed after visiting this store.

This review is not about the clothing quality or about the selection of merchandise. It is about the clueless staff that work there. The only helpful ones are male. The female ones just stare at you with a blank look when you ask a question about HER screwing up when ringing through my purchases. Like seriously? Who the hell do you think you are with attitude? The Carlton location is the BEST! The only reason I come here is because it close to home otherwise, no thanks! Do you think you’re doing customers a favour? NO! We are by shopping there so get your heads straight and learn about customer service.

I used to be a fan of this location because it’s the closest to where I live. However, the past few times I’ve been in here, I’ve needed assistance finding stuff and the staff would do the bare minimum to help. Most recently I went out of my way to get here in order to find something that they’ve always stocked this time of year (ever since they opened). It’s on their site as well. Asking asking a staff member (all were too busy with organizing clothes on the racks to greet or assist customers) for help I was just told «Oh, we don’t have them.» No help, no suggestions, no offers of finding out of any other stores carry them. Just because the clothes here are on the less expensive side doesn’t mean that the customer service should be. I left. Plunked myself down on the bench outside, ordered the exact products I wanted (along with the 20% off code — so cheaper with free shipping). Not sure if it’s because I wasn’t wearing full on makeup or dressed like the other Forest Hill moms that I see shopping here but I’m boycotting you St. Clair location. I’d rather take my business back to the Maple Leaf Gardens location or Forever 21. Buh bye!

A good spot for casual and inexpensive clothing. What I liked about this place is that even though the clothes were cheap and good quality, what I really liked was that they were «modern» with modern styles and fits. Many basic items were available in a variety of colors, which really helped in finding the perfect piece.

This is my favourite Joe Fresh in the city. The stock is varied andthey always have some fun fashion accessories to jazz up your wardrobe. Overall, I find this location to have more versatile and approachable fashion than the Queen St. Location. Yay for Joe Fresh socks and undies, which are super comfy. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because the change rooms are never super clean and usually the lineups for them are terrible. This was never a huge problem since I used to live so close that I could just buy whatever, try it on at home and bring it back if I didn’t like it.
A great refund policy, here.

This review has nothing to do with clothing and everything to do with service. I went on a Saturday morning and there was a reasonable amount of people browsing but it felt like there were six store clerks with not enough to do. I also noticed a large unleashed dog that seemed to not be under the care of any customer in particular. The person I accompanied to the store wanted to try some clothes on but the wait for one of the two cramped, tiny dressing rooms was thirty minutes. In those thirty minutes I realized that the large unleashed dog was not owned by a customer but was owned by one of the store clerks. I was astonished that this would have been allowed! Not everyone is comfortable with large unleashed dogs in a confined space, and sometimes when I would move away from the dog, a store clerk would look at me and give me a weak smile. Since that day I have never entered a Joe Fresh store or purchased a Joe Fresh product. I could care less about their clothing if their service is so utterly dreadful and if they want to instill fear in their customers in such a fashion. I will stick to H&M.

Truly, this place did not do it for me. You walk in, see the prices (initially) and its ooh ahh and then you try the stuff on. Let’s face it, this is not the best quality in the world. I asked for an item in my size, the clerk said «is there anything else you’d like me to find», (i.e. don’t ask me to look again for another item if you see something that is not in your size). Interestingly, the mens’ area looked better than the womens’ clothing choices. This was the first location I tried so maybe I did not go to the store with the best selection. Change rooms were spacious with places to hang up your bag, put your sunglasses/​glasses — that was a nice touch.

I’ve been to the Queen street location as well, and it has far more in stock than in this store.
That said, this store seems to carry the LATEST in clothing. I didn’t see any of the stuff in this store, at the Queen street location (that huge retail outlet by Winners & Loblaws).
I think if you want to buy Joe Fresh stuff, you need to visit a range of locations. This one, Queen Street and one other, otherwise it’s hard to find what you want or to see their entire range in one location.
I also like that it’s right by the TTC. Easy to get in, look around, and get out.

VIBE
Located in the Loblaws at St. Clair West Station, this is my favourite Joe Fresh location. if only because I can manage to fit into the clothes after an eating session at nearby BBQ joint, The Stockyards.
Everything is nicely laid out and easy to reach.
THE GOODS
Joe Fresh is all about the basics at affordable price points with a few fashion items thrown into the mix. I usually buy sweaters and jackets here. It’s also good for T-​shirts.
I got a kick ass leather jacket here for $ 50. I know it was sold out at other locations and snagged mine right away.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
So fresh. So exciting. To me.

So. this is my not so dirty, not so little secret.
I do most of my clothing shopping at about 5 stores, this being one of them. I really love the selection, fit and price-​point of these clothes. At every Joe Fresh location everything is well laid out and easy to find, which I appreciate. Clothing is always tagged and priced and depending on the time of day you can usually find a friendly sales associate to help you out.
I don’t find the quality is there on all of the pieces so I do have to give everything a quick look-​over. Hold t-​shirts up towards the fluorescent lighting to get an idea of how sheer they might be (many are quite thin) and I always do a label check to see if items are made of polyester or acrylic.
My favourite purchases here are summer dresses, gym clothing, cardigans and light jackets. I generally avoid the shoes and winter coats.

Suddenly grocery shopping is so much more fun. I always beg my husband… «please, just let me take a look at the clothes…» and then wind up filling my shopping cart with sweaters, jackets, socks (great socks!) and t-​shirts… because, well, they’re all SO CHEAP! Nice work Joe! And the ad campaign is also totally brilliant!
Just a note… at this location there is a fantastic stand-​alone Joe Fresh store, with way more selection. But I also like the clothing sections built into the grocery stores!

I’m going to have to agree with Erin about the clothes here. Sometimes there are GREAT designs that fit perfectly, and other times it’s crap that makes you wonder what drugs the designers take to think that this looks good.
That said, accessories are amaaaazing and super cheap (especially when it gets down to clearance time), their shoes are actually gorgeous and moderately comfortable, and, yes, their underwear is phenomenal. Some of my favourite bras are from here and I paid under $ 10 for most of them. Compared to the $ 60+ I’ve spent at Victoria’s Secret, I’ll take Joe Fresh any day.
One thing– they don’t take Amex which is kind of annoying for me.

As the mastermind behind Club Monaco, Joe Mimran has always taken a fresh approach to clothing. This said, his new line, Joe Fresh, adopts a similar doctrine. There are classics, re-​vamped with little unique details that keep the designs current and interesting. The price points also make more fashion-​conscious looks more accessible to those who want a different look. At times, though, the quality is a little inconsistent and there are times when you really feel as though you’re getting what you pay for.

Joe Fresh is to Club Monaco as Old Navy is to Gap. So, for cheap and cheerful fashion, Joe Fresh is designed really well. This branch of Joe has mostly women’s clothing and some menswear.
Joe Fresh has recently become my guilty pleasure, my near-​weekly indulgence. It’s just so affordable — a new blouse is a fraction of my grocery bill from next door’s Loblaws. Of course, someone in China is paying the price for my fast fashion…
My friends are getting a little wary of complimenting my outfits because my responses are becoming quite repetitive:
«Oh, you love this cute navy dress with the puff sleeves? $ 24 at Joe Fresh. And this floaty garnet-​coloured skirt? $ 16 at Joe. Where did I find this flattering origami print dress? Joe Fresh, natch, for $ 23. You’ve been looking for a simple t-​shirt like this one? Try Joe, they’re on for $ 8.»
Stock at Joe Fresh changes very quickly, which puts the pressure on for impulse buying. There’s a good chance the item you’re wavering on won’t be available in a couple of days. Lines for the change rooms here can be long but you are taking a risk on missing out if you vow to return later.
