A few weeks ago, I was invited by Old Navy to check out my local store, one of the 260+ stores that has been redesigned as part of The New Old Navy Project.
I think the new store looks fantastic. The new design is bright and open and is really easy to navigate with kids and strollers because of the wide aisles. I love the new racetrack design of the store that is much easier and I find, more enjoyable to shop.
New additions to the store include quick change pods for when you want to try on a single item really quickly, a fun novelty section that my kids LOVE and a fantastic new check out lane.
The new design offers a much more enjoyable shopping experience, while still maintaining its great pricing and huge selection.
I was sent a $250 gift certificate to also check out their spring collection. Normally, I would take that and spend the entire thing on my kids. But this time I was a little selfish and spent it entirely on myself instead. I think we should all do that for ourselves every now and then – seriously, just go out and buy yourself something right now.
I saw and wanted many, many things, and because Old Navy has great prices, I was able to buy a lot of it with my $250 g.c., including:
- 2 Fine Gauge Open Front Cardigans (Cardigans make the world go round – remember that!)
- 2 Dolman Sleeve Cardigans
- 2 Ribbed Tank Tops
- 2 Slub Knit Drop Waist Tops
- 3 Eyelit Trimmed Belted Tops
Of course, I was shopping with my four year old, who loves a pretty dress and I had to pick up a sun dress and a cardi for her as well. We almost made it out the door, and then we had to stop for a little Spongebob stuffy too because you can never have too many stuffies (Total lie – yes you can, but she was too cute to say no to that day).
The best thing about Old Navy is that you’ll always find great new items in the store and they have fantastic promotions often, both in store and online.

Canada is surely trying to ruin my life. I’m ready to become Canadian. Just tell me how.
I have been to the new Old Navy here in London, ON. Love that the kids’ interactive floor is across from the clearance section so as I scour through the clearance my kiddo is busy playing and I can keep an eye on him
No,I havent been to a new old navy..but it looks very nice.

Oooh Oooh, I’m in love with Old Navy!! I was in their new store a couple of months ago, and it is SO much better now! $250 dollars to spend would be just great as my husband lost his job, and since then, I haven’t been able to update my wardrobe
I haven’t been to the new stores yet, and didn’t know that they were redoing them…but I sure would like to
I love the redesign too. The Kitchener store was done before Christmas. I like the change pods especially when my daughter is trying on clothes. There is one right by the kids section.
I have not had the chance to visit yet but the new store sounds fantastic! I would love to check out the new styles and see what the new old navy has in store!
I love Old Navy! Whenever we go to the city (we live about 7-8 hours away from a big major centre in our province) we have to stop there! I always load up on shirts there and things for my kids!
I am also a Google Friend follower.
I juts visited a new store the other week with a group of kids. Those Changing Pods RULE!! How much of a time saver is that!
Didn’t realize they had redesigned their stores. May have to stop by and check it out. Those “change pods” sound intriguing!
I haven’t been to the new old navy yet but I am looking forward to checking it out!
The just reopened one at the mall across the street from my work – I must go check it out soon! I was cross-border shopping last week and went to one in Syracuse – saw lots to buy but only left with a dress and an embellished tank as I had to (somewhat) respect my limits when heading back to Canada ;o)
Already follow you on Twitter and just tweeted (@jblatts)
I haven’t been yet, but I didn’t know they did a re-do. I’ll check it out!
My Old Navy hasn’t had an overhaul as of yet but I think it works just fine. I love the summer dresses – for myself and my 2 daughter (21 and 7yrs old).
Haven’t been to an old navy in a while, the wife does all the shopping. If I won I’d send her on a family shopping spree!
I have not been to the New Old Navy store yet. I will have to go and check it out.

Old Navy is the best. I pretty much live in their clothes. I haven’t been to the store near me in a long time, but I will probably be heading there soon. I think I heard it’s been redesigned, but I can’t remember. I’m in desperate need of cute spring clothes to wear to work.
I think our store is still considered new… it had a complete make over a while back. I like the layout you walk in a circle. Women’s on one side, kids at the back and men on the on the other side with the change rooms in the middle.
I haven’t been to the new old navy yet but plan a shopping trip there if it ever seems like we will get spring in Calgary

I’ve dying to get into an Old Navy.
I was never really a fan of their stuff in the past (am I allowed to say that on an Old Navy PR post? lol) but seeing all of their fresh stuff has made want to stop in and give them another shot. Namely, their spring and summer dresses!
Oh, and maybe some stuff for the little dude.

I haven’t had a chance to check out the new Old Navy yet, but hope too. I love the wider aisles.
I haven’t had a chance to check out the new Old Navy, but I love the sound of quick changing pods. Nothing I hate more than lineups!
p.s. Love how your new blog design does cute bullet points

Haven’t been yet, but I totally want to check it out.
*sigh* It’s been so long since I’ve been in an Old Navy! I’ve tried in vain to place an online order with them for clothes for this new baby girl (after my three boys!) but they won’t ship/bill to a box number. I’m thinking I’ll just place an order to my mom’s place in SK and have her bring it down to Bogota when she comes. Thankfully we’ll be back in Canada by the end of summer!
So, no, I haven’t seen the new design but will be stopping by ASAP when possible… maybe even this July when we’re back to find a new house! That GC would make my first visit in over a year LOOOOOADS more fun!
I follow you through Google, FB, and twitter.
I’ll tweet in a few days to space it out a bit…

I have seen the new store design and agree it’s much easier to navigate now with strollers. I also like the area where kids can play, and the “quick change” pods. Very cool!
I don’t believe that store here has the new design, I think its old
What a great prize!

Last time I was near my Old Navy (which is in a mall) they had not changed to the new format. That was about a month ago!
I haven’t been. I have been avoiding the mall with it being tax season and me owing money. So winning this would come in handy!

I haven’t visited the new Old Navy yet, but I would definitely do so if I had some extra moola to spend. I love that they make fresh styles for the over 20 set. Old Navy was my favourite shopping spot this year as I lost over 130 lbs and continuously had to change my wardrobe. Love their deals!
I had no idea they were getting a new look! Very cool! Thanks!
Great giveaway! I love the new layouts have room to move around!
I find sometimes the aisle were too small with kiddos, strollers, purses, diaper bags, and of course a load of clothes to try on! LOL!

I like that the store is NEAT. It use to be soooo messy which really turned me off shopping (as if something could ever do that!).
Oh and I just signed up for Google Friend Connect and am going to follow you!
Yes, I have been to the newly designed Old Navy. My biggest love in the new store layout…is room….glorious spacious room to move about through the store. The lack of room was one of the things I used to really dislike about shopping trips to Old Navy. The new change rooms are excellent. Yet another peeve that no longer exists. I’ll be shopping there more frequently!
I have not been but plan to go soon to stock up on some summer gear – one stop shopping for the whole family

Awesome Giveaway! I’m not sure if the Old Navy near me (Chinook Mall in Calgary) is newly designed – I know it was renovated about a year ago, and it is really nice. My favourite part is the fitting rooms right in the middle of the store.
Nope, I haven’t been to Old Navy in forever!! However, I would love to win this gift card, as I’m trying (and mainly succeeding) in losing weight, and I need new work (and play) clothes!!

I stepped into the one in Ottawa while it was still being renovated and I have to say, even under construction, I liked it better than the old one. I left with a couple of skirts and some t-shirts, shorts and summer dresses for the kids. Can’t beat Old Navy when it comes to outfitting our three kids on a budget
I’ve been to the one at the Rideau Centre in Ottawa and I love the new colours!
I was lucky enough to go into one of the new ones lately and was impressed with the space and breathing room that they’ve given to the revamped stores. Very nice!

Sign me up mama! Great giveaway and I’m pretty sure that I would also spend it almost entirely on myself too. Hello Spring dresses. Bring it on!
Hey! I am actually planning on going today – 40% bottoms I hear! Can’t wait to see new design!
I adore their sweater sets! And I love, love their tanks for layering. They have such pretty ones this year. I really like their new casual but put-together looks. The quality and style seems to be improving – and the prices stay great!
Followed you on Twitter and RT your message!

I like their centre changing room area with soft benches for napping while the 10 yr old DD is trying on her hundredth outfit.

Actually no I have not been into the store, almost went in this past Thursday looking for something for Easter for my son…got side tracked and forgot !! But we are heading out on a family vacation and what better way to start it off, than with a gift card to Old Navy…my kids love there stuff and as usual I usually spent the majority of time/money on things for them not on my self. Would soooo love to have a shopping spree all for me…and ok I confess I’m sure I will have to buy them at least one thing each
……
I love the new change rooms. I was able to quickly get my 3yo to try on 3 dresses. I turned around, and there it was! Very convenient with little ones
We don’t have an Old Navy in Cheyenne, WY. I wish! But they have one in Fort Collins and I’ve been there a few times. I love how the store gives me room to walk around. Some stores are crowded with clothes; Old Navy does a good job in spacing everything out.
