I saw an ad in a flyer a couple weeks ago where they were advertising Olympic merchandise.

I can't recall the location. Does anyone have the address for it? I'm looking for a sweater for someone.

It's call Great Northern Gift...although they kinda renamed themself to "17 hours" now cause they only open for 17 hours on the weekend. http://www.17hours.ca/index.php

6741 Cariboo Rd
Burnaby, BC

and

8410 Ontario St
Vancouver , BC

It's been over a year since that warehouse started selling / liquidating their assets. And to date, they STILL have crap load of inventory left.

It's close by, so my mom goes every Saturday after work to pick one up. Why not? You can make a set, better than paying for it!

Been making a trip every weekend for a month now. Yeah someone ordered WAY too much Olympic merchandise. They're giving away free stuffed toys every weekend. Good for regifting, but kinda useless after you get your first 5.

Don't bother with the DVD. It's <10 minutes of footage. Waste of gas. :mad:

Is the olympic store still at YVR? Last time I was there, there was a lot of paralympic pins on the rack. Below those pins were lots and lots of Martin Brodeur pins... lol This was back in May.

I was there last weekend and they were giving out a 7.5" quatchi plush. This couple that was there tried asking for another free plush :stupid: haha i guess they didn't even want to spend 2.50 for another one.

do they still have toques? I want to buy the MukMuk toque.

I don't know if they still have anymore mukmuk ones but they had a whole wack load of toques for sale

Just make sure you don't go on a Friday. It's only Saturday and Sunday. The ydon't open any other day. That's why they are called 17 hour........... only open the 17 hours.

Boxed set of 7.5" guys are $5/set
Single 7.5" ones are $1.50
Single plush 4.5" keychains are $1 (only Mukmuk and Quatchi)
Plush keychains are $6/set
Forgot how much the medium and large ones are, but I think $3 and $5 each respectively.

They are open Fridays, but don't give anything out on Fridays. Plush giveaways are Saturdays/Sundays.

Yes. They greet you at the door and give you the freebie right away. You then shop. When finished, you go to the payment area that is located in the southeast corner of building.

The biggest possible set are the giant 4 ft tall ones which were $350 each when the Olympics were on. Mukmuk the smallest one was the size of a couple watermelons and was $100. I haven't seen that size in a long time and I'll bet that they were made in much more limited quantities.

The next size down are the large ones and the last time I was at 17hours.ca, they had a full set, but that was several months ago.
