I got mixed feelings about the place. I really, really like a lot of the selections, especially the stalls by local small businesses. I met an owner of two shops and I really enjoyed chatting with them. There are many quality items of different kinds. I found many things that I needed and also found some brands whose design concept align with my values (cocconut fiber dish scrub, environment friendly). One issue I have though is that I couldn't find where the products have been made in many of the items I went through. Some of the shops labeled very clearly each item was made from which city at what state. Some of the shops didn't have any explanations. Many of the items I purchased with someone else in mind and when I went back home and took out the price tag, behind it I found many "made in xxx" covered underneath, as if the store didn't want shoppers to be able to decide based upon where the item has been made. It was not just with one or two items, but multiple ones. So be cognizant of the fact that you might not be purchasing items made locally or in the states unless having seen a clear label. My 2nd obs is that, some of the very local stalls were located very deep inside the store on a shelf. I felt that I had to go all the way and walk through many stalls in order to find them. A weird 3rd obs was it seemed that the stalls I first encounter closer to the entrance were on average more expensive than some of the stalls in the back... but just an obs. Some items up front were on sale, but at times you could find cheaper items...
Read moreI am so disappointed. I love the painted tree have spent a lot of money there, my friend who didn't get to come around d often anymore came to see me today and I said you know what I keep telling you about this place let's go I promise you'll love it it's amazing. I will never step foot in there again. We were in the store 6 minutes when I reached in my bag to find my eye drops and a minute later as we're enjoying our trip two very rude employees approach and tell us that they have us on camera putting things in our bags that aren't paid for, and would we like then to hold our bags up front so I laughed a little opened my bag and said what in here is yours then tried to hand it to her so she could take it up front where she had just said she wanted it to be she looked at me like I was the dirtiest thing she'd ever seen and said I don't want that. Then continued staring at us until we were so uncomfortable and felt very unwelcomed that I set the things I had in my hand that I planned on purchasing down on the counter and we left they didn't apologize for lying to us, because they never saw anything in our bags they never had anything on camera, they didn't apologize for calling us out in front of everyone and embarrassing us for absolutely no reason I will never go there again and if your eyes are dry or your lips are chapped...
Read moreLarge store. Many vendor spots. Mostly junk from TEMU, MARKO, JOOM, WISH or clearance stuff from HOBBY LOBBY marked to double or triple its actual retail value. Really loud strange fountain at rear of store. Makes zero sense in a building like this. * Be Aware FOUNTAIN IS SO LOUD ITS INTOLERABLE TO ON SPECTRUM CHILDREN AND ADULTS.
NO PUBLIC restrooms, plan accordingly.
Over priced snacks and food. Lots of Goodwill and ARC stuff, still with tags on and marked to triple the price. Cricut vendors everywhere. Scarce on men items, no real pandering to the fellas happening here..Just a ton of Made In China, hot pink and sparkles stuff.
No REAL hand crafters to speak of other than, Father Daughter Woodworkers.... That booth, though scarce on items, was phenomenal. Now if only this store could find 60 others like this, it would be an amazing store.
Feels like you're walking through an over priced version of the Mile High Flea Market, but don't get the satisfaction of Horchata and Churros.
I would only come back for the wood working booth.
Added funny photos for a giggle. Goodwill coffee mug with $2.00 of wax in it... Tah Dah $18.99. I was...
