Big Deal (Whitby) versus Brands Gone Wild (Oshawa)
Two liquidation stores in Durham Region we visited recently. Both sold Target merchandise.
Big Deal in Whitby on Highway#2 is a smaller store than Brands Gone Wild. When we were there we found prices were quite high. The Target clearance tags were still on the product and reductions were about 25% off. Reductions on other products were damaged or missing parts. Target brands were there and also Laura Canada clothing and coats. Dyson vacuums were on sale as well.



The staff of 2 did not greet us and we were the only ones in the store at first. When 2 more people came in, no greeting. The staff member sat at the cash eating their apple. We left buying nothing. We will not return.




Brands Gone Wild on Ritson Road near Taunton is bigger than Big Deal Whitby. They have many staff members who were able to help with questions. Target items with 70% clearance tags were marked down further. A few items were not reduced much. The selection included Puma running shoes, CVS pharmacy items, Walmart Exact items, Calvin Klein clothing, luggage, designer shoes, bedding etc. When a check out line became long, they would open another cash register. We have been there 2 times and have left with bags of items. We will go back again.
