Located in Toronto (just north of Lawrence Avenue and west of Dufferin Street), Orfus Road offers Torontonians unbelievable warehouse bargains without ever having to leave the city. Just south of Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Orfus Road is an industrial and retail strip of businesses between Dufferin St. and Caledonia Road. Those familiar with this discount-shopping hub know that Orfus Road houses a plethora clearance outlets, liquidation centres and factory stores that are worth checking out on a warm weather day.
Not sure if Orfus Road is the shopping spot for you? We’ve got our list of secrets to shopping Orfus Road in order to maximize your time and savings.
Budget Shoppers, Rejoice!
While you won’t find high-end fashion outlets along this strip, you will find a large selection of retailers to choose from. Our favourites include the Roots Last Chance Outlet, Kitchen Stuff Plus Outfit, Urban Planet Outlet, and the West 49 Outlet. But you can also find massive outlets from Bluenotes, Suzy Shier, Fairweather, International Clothiers, Designer Depot, Ardene, Ardene Shoes, and more.
Heading on vacation to a sunny destination? Orfus Road is the perfect place to score trendy, summer fashions that won’t break the bank!
Shop Light
With all of the incredible savings to be had at Orfus Road, a significant number of the outlets we visited ask shoppers to check any large parcels, oversized purses, and purchases from other retailers upon entering their store as a loss prevention precaution. Our secret? Leave personal belongings and other purchases at home or in your vehicle.
Return Policies
Before handing over your cash, be sure to check the store’s return policy. In most cases, you’ll find items that are “final sale” or “exchange only” due to the deep discounts. Our secret? After each purchase, take a photo of your receipt with your smartphone camera so that you never misplace a bill.
TTC Accessible
On a sunny weekend afternoon, Orfus Road can easily get backlogged with cars pulling in and out of storefront parking lots and vehicles stopping for customers crossing the street. Our secret to shopping Orfus Road is that it can be done on foot! This outlet strip is easily accessible via the 29 Dufferin Bus or by walking just five minutes south of Yorkdale Shopping Centre. Avoid the hassle of moving your vehicle every few stores and tackle the strip on foot if you dare.
Visit During The Week
Our secret for avoiding crowds is to hit up the Orfus Road outlets during the week between 3 and 5 p.m. While you might run into a few students from the neighbouring high school, the shops should be pretty quiet, neat, and tidy otherwise.
Washroom Breaks
Unlike a traditional, enclosed shopping centre, you’ll be hard pressed to find washrooms available for public use (let alone for paying customers,) along Orfus Road. Looking for a washroom? Our secret is to check out larger, national retailers like Kitchen Stuff Plus and Party City for a clean bathroom break.
Operating Hours
Since Orfus Road’s countless retailers all operate independently from one another, you won’t find streamlined hours of operation amongst all stores. If you’re looking to shop at a specific retailer, our secret is to call the store directly prior to your shopping trip in order to confirm operating hours.
Grab Some Food
At Dufferin and Lawrence, you’ll find a number of restaurants to choose from, but our favourites are Burger’s Priest and Uncle Tetsu’s. If you’re feeling cheesy, head to Grande Cheese for a massive selection of cheeses, meats, and other grocery supplies. While you won’t find super deep discounts, Grande Cheese runs weekly specials, so there are deals to be had!
