The Blue Lobster — Local services in Portland

This was the best gift shop in Old Port IMO. This store is big packed with all sorts of souvenirs and gifting items. Their magnet collection was gigantic, never seen any store to have such huge variety of magnet items. They also had caps, cups, apparels, stickers, local candies, maple syrup and a lot of other products.

I spent a whole of time picking the two magnets I wanted. I also bought a decorative steel sign and few stickers. I compared their prices to other nearby stores, and it was on par or cheaper. The lady at register was very friendly, helped us with quick checkout and nicely packed all our items.

It’s a must visit store when you are...

Today I Visited Portland and wanted a sweatshirt from the blue lobster and they refused to sell me a sweatshirt off a manikin. It was the only medium. One of the employees went to look for another medium and they woman was gone for 20 minutes. When she returned she didn’t even confront me to say that she didn’t find my size she just put out merchandise she brought down from the stock room. I had to walk up to her and ask if she found any of my size. She said “nope”. I then asked why she couldn’t sell my the sweatshirt off the manikin and she said “I just can’t”. I have never been to a store that “just couldn’t” sell you an item...
