Ah, North Hampton Market! Gather 'round, folks, 'cause ol' Dad's got a tale to tell. Picture this: a sunny day, birds chirpin', and the smell of fresh bagels waftin' through the air. That's right, we're at North Hampton Market, where the vibes are as cozy as your favorite flannel shirt.
The Goods: Now, let me break it down for ya. North Hampton Market ain't your run-of-the-mill shopping spot. Nah, it's got character—like that quirky uncle who collects vintage lunchboxes. You stroll in, and BAM! You're hit with a kaleidoscope of colors. Fruits, veggies, and artisanal cheeses wink at ya, sayin', "Hey there, partner, take me home!"
The Vendors: Folks, let's talk vendors. We got Mrs. Jenkins at the pickle stand. She's got pickles in flavors you didn't even know existed: dill, sweet 'n' spicy, and "I-put-ghost-peppers-in-this" (handle with care, folks). Then there's Bob, the coffee guy. His brew is so strong, it'll put hair on your chest—even if you're a lady. And don't get me started on the flower lady. She's like Mother Nature's personal assistant, arranging bouquets that'd make Shakespeare pen a sonnet.
The Atmosphere: Now, North Hampton Market ain't just about shopping. It's a social event. You bump into neighbors, ex-lovers, and that guy who always wears mismatched socks. There's a live band playin' tunes from the '80s—because nothing says "fresh produce" like "Eye of the Tiger." And the kids? Oh, they're runnin' wild, sticky-faced from cotton candy. It's like a mini Woodstock, minus the tie-dye and questionable herbal remedies.
The Hidden Gems: Listen up, kiddos. Behind the cheese wheel pyramid, there's a secret alley. It's where the cool cats hang—think James Dean meets Martha Stewart. You'll find artisanal soap, hand-knit scarves, and conspiracy theories about crop circles. And rumor has it, if you whisper "avocado toast" three times, a food truck magically appears.
The Verdict: So, North Hampton Market? It's like a warm hug from Grandma, a high-five from your best bud, and a dad joke all rolled into one. Go for the veggies, stay for the vibes, and leave with a reusable tote bag full of memories. And remember, folks: Life's too short to skip the pickle samples. 🥒²
P.S. If you see Bob, tell him his coffee's so strong, it cured my...
Read moreThere's a Target , some form of sports store, PetSmart, Hobby Lobby Dollar Tree, nail salon, hair salon, Moe's, theres what used to be a Dickies, Vape Pro, Panera Bread , and some other shops in the two separate buildings in the road facing areas. Then in the far opposite corner is access to the Burger King parking lot Overall the layout of all of the buildings relative to one another is not exactly what I would call a smart layout. The parking lot is a pain to navigate and it's not like you could park and comfortably walk to all the different stores around there. You quite literally have to get in the car to drive to a different store because everything is so far apart. And pedestrians just kind of wander around everywhere so be careful trying to drive or walk because people are flying through there trying to get where they're going. The stores are what they are though and there's always people in the...
Read moreShopped at BiLo. I love BiLo. I just wish it were a Super BiLo because of course they don't have the room to stock a lot of organic products. I find myself shopping there and still having to go to Ingles to get everything on my list. The people here are friendly and they say "Thank You" instead of handing you your receipt and either telling you how many fuel points you have or to have a good day like they do at Ingles. If I just spent close to a hundred dollars or twenty dollars, I like a thank you! I buy a ton of things at Target because I don't go through a checkout without getting a thank you and most of the time a manager is up front and they thank me! Wake up owners, supervisors and managers, there are many many stores in Greenville and Spartanburg to shop. Teach your people to say Thank You and you will be rewarded with repeat business....
