After hearing so much about Giant Tiger over the years, it was a bit disappointing to shop here. We never had one on the island – just a small one in Chateauguay and one in Laval .We’ve finally had one open in Ville St-Laurent on Saturday. The stores have a little bit of everything – clothes, undies, shoes, linens, curtains, health and beauty aids, cleaning products, stationery, toys, and food (dairy, freezer, cookies, canned goods), and the prices are good but it didn’t seem worth going out of my way for. Other locations: Chateauguay, 15 2nd Ave.; Laval, 1235 Montee de Moulin. Gianttiger.com

New location: 2115 Marcel-Laurin, VSL
corner: ch. Laval
Hours: Mon-Fri 9-9, Sat & Sun 9-5
