As a Canadian, this is the closest place to the border that carries "leather cleaner". So if that's all you're going for then who cares about the rest. But as per the other comment, yes it's really weird when you first walk in as it looks like a cluttered antique shop. In fact the first time I went, there were two old timers sitting by the register sharing stories with the clerk. Totally thought I was in the wrong place. The "adult" section from what I saw is mostly old VHS and DVDs. Some websites say there is a peep show in the back but I didn't check it out. Been there twice and both clerks were nice. The place is just fine for what I go. So it's no longer called by this name, I can't recall the new name but they have fully converted the store into antiques, same ownership though. Peep shows and back areas are gone. The big question on everyone's mind... yes, they still sell "leather cleaner" at the cash register.

As others have mentioned this is the closest place to the border that sells "Leather cleaner" or "Room odouriser" The Facebook page for the store has photos that show it as a regular adult store, with plenty of toys and gear on the walls. I'm not sure if it's changed ownership as the place is anything but that on the inside. Walking in I thought I'd entered the wrong store, it appears to have been a thrift shop, everything was dusty, there was some sort veterans meeting going on inside. They were sharing stories. A man approached me and asked for my ID, he was very friendly and didn't seem surprised when I asked him if this was the right place. I asked him where the leather clean we was, he led me to a desk where the bottles were between a half eaten subway sandwich and a bag of Doritos. I bought what I came for and left immediately, the atmosphere was very uncomfortable.

I walked in and thought I had accidentally walked into a really bad thrift store. The place was filthy and crammed with old furniture like a Salvation Army. What adult items they did have were very old and in a disastrous filthy mess. It was truly awful. Don’t waste your time.
