The study found that while retailers have been feeling the impact of evolving COVID-19 restrictions in Ontario, only about 20% of customers said that health and safety changes have affected their shopping experience in a big way.

Reitmans takes the top spot in the study's rankings of the retailers with the best in-store customer experiences.

Lush, The Body Shop, Saje and LEGO round out the top five.

Those are followed by MEC, Fire & Flower Cannabis Co., M&M Food Market, Bath & Body Works, Yves Rocher, Nespresso and Lee Valley.

The study said that in-store customer experiences "improved significantly" at clothing, sports and beauty retailers compared to 2019.

Canada's retailers with the best online customer experiences were also ranked.
