Novato Fair Shopping Center — Local services in Novato

I usually go to Pearl to get a Boba. However, since my house was on the market, I was being shown, and I had to leave the premises with my dogs, which were in the backseat of my car. I didn’t want to upset them by leaving the car and waiting for my Boba. It was kind of hot out that day! So I decided to go to Starbucks instead. Because my dogs were in the backseat of the car, I decided to go through the drive-through. The wait at the drive-through drive-through wasn’t too long. The woman in front of me was driving an SUV, and I noticed the woman in the car in front of me had a Syracuse University sticker on her window or her bumper. I was excited because I am originally from Ithaca, New York in Ithaca where I am from I had my window open, and I noticed she had hers open as well, and I screamed out the window. I am from Ithaca! Go, Syracuse! I waved at her, and she waved back! When I reached the drive-through window to pay for my order, the cashier and barista told me I didn’t have to pay as the woman who went to Syracuse University had already paid for my order! This woman, this kind woman from Syracuse, whom I’d never met but who lived near my hometown, paid for my order and hers as well, which restored My faith in humanity. The cashier told me at the window that the woman in front of me had purchased my order! I would love to thank her in person. She’s a usual customer, and I want to thank her in person someday for that kindness! To all of the employees and the woman who gave me back my belief in human kindness that day, thank you, and if you see this review, hit me up. Maybe we could hang out and be friends. I...

I absolutely love this shopping center and spend some time in it. I shop at the Safeway there, where I find the staff are friendly & courteous. There's always parking also. My only advice for you with this Safeway is to avoid the 9pm shift change. There are very few cashier's and so many shoppers seem to hop in line at exactly that time. I also shop at the Rite Aid there. This one has an ice cream center with so many flavors to choose from. They don't have many of the men's grooming products that I need though. I'm so excited that they finally got an electric shopping cart. The best Dollar Tree is there as well as a cute jewelry store, a mail center with gifts and nicknacks, and a cheap place to buy cigarettes that even accepts coupons. There's plenty of choices of fast food also! KFC, JIB, Subway, and my favorite burger place The Habit. After eating all that fast food and ice cream you can join the gym there, open twenty four hours with a ton of equipment. Then head over to the dentist! Yes, there's a dentist there with a very inexpensive...

I only go to this shopping center because there's a .99 cent store located in the southern east part of the center. For certain purchases you can't beat there prices. I have to buy certain art and/or decorative items to accentuate some of our artwork. It's a well stocked store, with a variety of art, decorative, gift, stationary items. Not good idea to buy food. The only food I buy are organic rice with Tibetan salt. They've not always in stock. They cost about $4+ everywhere else. They have a good selection of first aid, make up, hair & cleaning items. It it what it is. There are always long lines, not much to protect against Covid-19. I wear mask, gloves & take a small bottle of alcohol with me. When I come out, I spray inside &...
