I love Ocean State. I'd give it 5 stars except the store looks filthy all the time. The floors are old and dingy, the racks are old and peeling and discolored, there are pallets in the aisles, and everything that the store is made up of is old cruddy junk throughout the store so it makes the store look bad (the merchandise itself is fine new stuff, just the racks, floors, walls, and everything around it all looks awful), but I LOVE the store and it is one of my favorite places to shop (maybe they just have the world's worst landlord and management who don't care about the property or presentation).
