- 416-785-6666
This company has the largest inventory of tiles in North America. Glass mosaics are exceedingly popular, and Olympia has them in sizes starting from one-inch square. Real stone is fashionable (particularly onyx from Turkey, Pakistan and China), but Olympia also carries porcelain that replicates the look of slate, limestone and marble. Idea seekers haunt the store’s showroom, but the deep discounts happen in the clearance centre across the street, which carries seconds and leftovers. The only thing you have to bargain with is Olympia’s weekend schedule: the store observes the Sabbath and is closed Saturdays.

- Lawrence, M–W 8–7, Th 8 a.m.–9 p.m., F 8–5, Su 10–4; clearance centre, M–Th 7–6, F 7–5, Su 10–4
