Mia's Marketplace — Local services in Surf City

As a basic WB I really wanted to like your store. I walk in feeling happy and relaxed to get a break from mom duties. I just want to sniff a candle or buy something small for myself or a friend. Each time I leave have this anxiety from being watched like a criminal. Your staffs staring and eye rolling at my casual attire leaves me wondering why I do this to myself.

Visited Mia’s for the first time this spring while vacationing in Topsail; what a great experience! There are SO many neat things to look at, truly there is something for everyone!

While a direct conversation with Spartina was not helpful in resolving my issue, literally one message to Sandi and she was on the ball and fixing the issue! Such great customer service! We will absolutely be back the next time we vacation in...
