I remember I shopped here a couple years ago when this was a former restaurant. ( I think it was called Bagel something ) ๐ค
Back in the early 80s, my main street ( between 73ave and Jewel ave ) had a variety of stores for everyone. ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐บ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ถโโ๏ธThere were:
-Two ' Variety ' hardware shops ๐จโ๏ธ๐ a Chinese take - out ๐จ๐ณ ๐๐ฏ Baskin n Robbins ice cream at the corner๐ฆ a candy store where they have two 25 cents arcades ๐น an automotive shop at the corner๐จโ๐ง๐ ๐ HnR Block ๐ธ an Indian candy store at the corner ๐ณโโ๏ธ a fruit stand at the corner ๐๐๐๐๐ a video store ๐ผ๐ฌ a discount store ๐๐ฆ๐ another huge candy store where they have a couple of arcades at the corner between the Q44 and Q64 ๐คนโโ๏ธ๐น๐คนโโ๏ธ
I'm not making this up ๐คฅ cause i grew up from them as a kid ๐ค when i get off at the original ๐ bus stop across the street where the main street cinema stand. ๐ญ Today, it changed mostly for the โก Jewish community cause some of the stores says ' glatt kosher '. I got nothing against them ๐ซ since they been here longer but to me, it used to be a fun place to hang out since all the stores i mentioned are all gone ๐ข๐ญ๐คง except :
the gas station*โฝ queens county savings bank tower๐ซ main street cinema and ๐ญ the AMI convenience store* ๐ฉ
They * been around for many years while some stores ๐ stand for less than six months. Like i said, i got nothing against them but if they make a store for everyone instead of one religion, it would thrive again. (I saw one that is half Chinese and half Jewish restaurant and now a half Mexican and half Jewish restaurant coming soon. They're working on it)
Amazing Savings is one of them.
Its kinda like ' Variety ' but with no tools or other hardware accessories. ๐ฑ๐ฏ Kitchen equipments, paper or plastic plates, utensils, cups, school supplies, clothing accessories and TONS of toys. ๐๐คนโโ๏ธ๐ฎ๐คนโโ๏ธ There are candies and electronics but every time i come here, there's always something new. ๐๐ A lot of people shop here like a main street version of National Wholesale Liquidators..... except their store (NWL) is bigger๐ข..... except toys, which is not much.๐๐
But the prices is affordable. I bought a lot stuff there which, yes, it IS ' Amazing '.๐ The only problem is that once you see that product for about a week or two, it'll be gone ๐คค for something new. ๐คฃ So start ' Saving ' your money once you go there. You're in for a...
ย ย ย Read moreI have been coming here for many many years back when I was a stay-at-home mom and my now teenage son was a toddler. I would enjoy coming here for affordable toys and books. I don't shop here as often but I do enjoy making stops here from time to time because they actually have a great variety and assortment of items. They are very well organized and things are always in place which I appreciate that in a discount store. The employees are friendly, especially the cashiers. They are always a nice group of older women that are extremely friendly and happily start conversations on items that you have purchased that they think are great buys or highly recommend. I like their housewares section a lot. If you have smaller children, they have great toys, board games, and books. They also have a craft section and a party section. It's a great variety store with extremely affordable prices. I enjoy coming here. Parking is a little tricky but you will always be able to find parking either on Main Street or near the residential block around the corner. Well worth...
ย ย ย Read moreI have been going to this store for more then 20 yrs. I love the deals. I went with my daughter and u was walking ahead of her. I paid and was holding the register receipt she was holding 2 large laundry baskets. I went out and they stopped my daughter and accused her of stealing the baskets. she explained her mother was right ahead if her but I couldn't hear because the door already Closed behind me. she asked them to ask the cashier who just rang us out but they refused. she asked them to hold the baskets and came to get the receipt from me which she did. EVEN WITH the paid receipt showing I paid for the baskets they yelled at her she stole them. I bought alit so the receipt was long but if they went to the cashier surely she would have confirmed it. they were beyond rude and my daughter doesn't want to...
