Black Octopus Mercantile LLC — Local services in North Charleston

Was staying locally from out of town. I had previously shopped here on a trip and wanted to stop back by to grab a few things. From the moment we walked up the owner gave off the most horrendous vibe. There was a group of black gentleman that she was approaching outside on the sidewalk to the left of the building. Asking them basically to move…. They were there setting up for an Art Festival and in no way were a bother to us accessing the store. I later saw her again harp at them from across the street telling them to move…Just was honestly uncalled for and came off racist.

Then once entering her store…she overheard my boyfriend make reference to one of her stickers how it reminded him of a tattoo idea he once had shared with me… she very quickly chirped in with “yeah, but not that one or you’ll be hearing from my lawyer.”

Just save your money and go elsewhere. This isn’t a place that...

I came to visit a festival that was happening right outside of their store in Park Circle and I've been wanting to visit their shop for a while. So after walking the festival, I walked over, stepped one foot inside of their door and the lady behind the counter asked me to set my drink down because they don't allow drinks inside their store. I did not want to set my drink on a shelf for someone to possibly take or tamper with so I told her "nope. Thanks anyways" and I left.

I know they're are private business and are allowed to make those rules. I don't work or live nearby, so I am not in this particular area very often.

I know boycotting the store won't make much of a difference but it's just very unfortunate that I can't walk around on a hot day with a cold drink inside their...

One day I was google searching for octopus images. My almost 4yr daughter is in love if them. Came across Black Octopus Mercantile. Clicked the link, instantly fell in love. I'm a basic girl living south of Cleveland. We have plenty of grey days. To see great casual beachy tshirts or hoodies (which I live in what feels like most of the time) I started following them on Instagram. Missy posted this amazing hoodie and I had to get it. Ordered it as a Christmas present. Missy called me (not many business do this anymore) it was great being able to chat with her like you would if you were at her store. After speaking with her I was sold. When my hoodie came in it was roomy, soft and the perfect shade of mustard. My daughter fell in love with mine, I had one made up like mine but slightly different. I can't wait for her to open it up Christmas morning. I will recommend Black...
