World Market — Local services in Westlake

The personnel at this location were excellent. They were ready to help yet not pushy. However I have a problem with the store location as well as the selection. They closed the store that was at Great Northern and moved it to Crocker Park. This is problematic for elderly people because it’s hard to get a parking space near the store and it is set back from the main area of Crocker Park.

And for those who celebrate Christmas, nobody has stocking stuffers as unique as...

I hadn’t been to a world market since I lived in Virginia. I was so excited to go again. The store itself was fine. It was fun to discover interesting foods etc. the store was clean and organized besides a container of honey leaking into the shelf. What made the experience not great was the vibes from the workers. We were never greeted by Sara when she rang up our item but the people before and after us were. Also felt weird when two other workers came uncomfortably close to me to move a desk without saying “excuse me” or anything. If I hadn't moved immediately from where I was standing they wouldn’t have been able to move the desk. Maybe it’s an Ohio thing. I’m not used to people being like this and I’m not sure that I...
