“Loved this shop! The staff working when I went was fantastic and helpful. It’s a beautifully curated selection of items. I left with many more things than I went for.”
“Just visited and had an awesome time! Met Marga who was super friendly and helpful and made our time so enjoyable. They have a great selection and especially love their Donna Wilson pieces. Absolutely love the cushions that we picked up and will most certainly be visiting again.”
“My husband & I travelled over to Vancouver for the day from Nanaimo.,We were specifically looking for stores to replace our living room furniture. We went to a few, but as soon as we walked in to Portside & were greeted by Gene - we KNEW this was the place. 6 wks. later, we now have our beautiful custom made couch & 2 occasional chairs. I had photos of our living rm., & we talked of what I hoped to achieve. Gene was easy going, but attentive… we had it all locked up in no time. The moving co. they work with is JUST as professional & attentive to clients needs… Below is my email to True North Cargo AND c.c.ed Portside. Please look them up - Broadway has just opened up to traffic 😉 Ken & Stephanie L. ——- I wanted to let you guys know how pleased my husband & I were/are with the delivery of our new furniture from Portside Interiors, the fellow unwrapped everything b4 bringing the furniture in & took all the wrap & boxes with him. I can’t recall his name, but he was truly a joy to be around. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable & easy to talk to. We’re so grateful to Gene at Portside Interiors for helping make our purchase & delivery seamless & of course your co. True North. Also appreciate your phone calls to ensure we were both in the same page for delivery. I’ll definitely be sharing our experience to my friends here & on the mainland as well as a Google review., Portside & True North were a perfect combination for us Thanks again.”
“Walrus Design was on my saved list, so I finally popped in—and I’m glad I did! The owners were so warm and welcoming. I was looking for a specific product, and they went above and beyond by searching for it online and helping me find the right style and size. Such a lovely little shop with lovely people. I’ll definitely be back!”
“Great experience shopping at Moe’s. Came in looking for modern accent chairs and were impressed by so many options we saw at really reasonable prices. Service was very friendly and helpful by explaining the features of the various chair designs and how they might work in our home. Never felt rushed to make a choice either.”
“Irina was amazing....spent time with me explaining the different options and features of the couches. Asked questions to fullyunderstand what I wanted and needed. Service was impeccable and got a deal...tax free and the option to finance it with no interest”
“I was so excited to discover that the store carries Carrol Boyes products from South Africa! I bought a wedding gift online and it arrived a couple of days later with a hand written note from the owners. I have found my go-to place for gifts!”
“Such a BEAUTIFUL, thoughtfully curated store! I drove by & had to stop in. So many cute self-care & home good finds. Found this adorable rainbow 🌈 necklace as an early bday gift to myself & a Vitruvi essential oil blend. Will be back soon!”
“I ordered branded pillows through Pillow Decor for a corporate event. They were fantastic to work with. Claire was super helpful in helping me decide colors, materials, etc. Her communication was detailed and timely. The pillows turned out great and we will absolutely use Pillow Decor again for future events!”
“Came into the Soap Gallery for the first time today, and I'll definitely be back! I loved the cute layout of the store, and the owner was so friendly and helpful in finding the perfect bar soap for me. I also love that some of the soaps are handmade by the owner. It's always great to support a local business. Thanks again for such a wonderful experience!”
“Lovely well curated shop with happy, friendly staff. Welcoming and warm. A pleasent atmosphere. First time visitor but will be back. Great variety of reasonably priced incense.”
“Very happy with this purchase.. installed as part of a major landscape project. This unit is of very high quality and looks fantastic as the centrepiece of this project. The key included with the unit to adjust the flame was misplaced on site and when I contacted customer service at Solus on a Friday afternoon..Brad answered the same day and couriered out two new keys for me on Monday and I received them Tuesday. Brad even followed up to make sure I received them. That’s what I call customer service !!”
“Excellent service with genuine Japanese hospitality. Their selections are focus on meticulous design and craftsmanship. Presenting the best of Japanese artisans. Would definitely go again.”
“I went and picked up this beauty by bee's serum which I am now heavily addicted to. I threw away all my body creams. A little goes a long way. I called a few other places that carry it and all are sold out. They had a few left. Nice store with lots of stuff. Best this is the best. Really nice lady. This product and other stuff in their line is good as well. It getting allot of traction. Once you try it you'll be hooked.”
“Really nice overall experience! The staff were welcoming and easy to chat with, which made things feel relaxed. Everything was clean and organized, and the service was smooth from start to finish. The atmosphere was comfortable and easygoing, making it a pleasant place to spend time. I also appreciated how everything felt well managed and consistent throughout the visit.”

“Friendly, detail oriented service and great product selection. Tanya replaced a matte in an existing frame. I'll be a repeat customer when I have more framing needs.”
“Absolutely the best selection of Marimekko in Vancouver - the Design House offers a wide array of apparel, tableware, home goods, and more. It was a delightful shopping experience with new products, sale items, and items not available in other stores across Canada. Matthew, the owner, was super friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about Marimekko - a brand known for its timeless, functional, and joyful designs. A highly recommended shopping destination in the heart of Downtown Vancouver.”
“I visited the shop twice and both times all staff present was super friendly! Shelley helped me with my mirror and lamp choices as well as checked everything to make sure it was working. Anizco has great stuff for an even greater price! I definitely recommend anybody looking for fun, unique and clean furnitures! Thank you again Shelley!”
“A fun store that will stimulate your creativity, and plenty of supplies for kids hobbies too. Kieran went above and beyond to help me get a refund for an unopened item even though I lost my receipt. Good stuff and good crew working there!”
“What a stunning store! They sell the most beautiful house plants in the prettiest of vases. They also sell vintage kitchen warehouse and house goods as well as luxury new furniture.”
“Provide is my favourite store in Vancouver for beautifully crafted and thoughtfully curated home accessories. Every time I visit their showroom and gallery I’m tempted to have everything wrapped up to take home. The staff are always incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about each item and locally crafted art piece they carry. The store is a perfect blend of style and design!”
“I LOVE this rug! Turned out better than imagined. The team at Colin Campbell & Burritt Bros. are the absolute best! Thank you so much for making this happen! No better place for premium art for your floors.”
“Really unique and fun pieces. My friend and I enjoyed giggling at the quirky, cheeky, pieces while admiring the impeccable craftsmanship. We bought got singular table tentacles.”
“Larissa at Fino Lino made our visit genuinely memorable. She took her time with us, never rushed and never pushy, and went well beyond what we expected. She listened to the style we had in mind, worked thoughtfully within our budget, and made every suggestion feel considered rather than sold. What really stood out was her depth of knowledge. She walked us through the history and origins of the different linens, and we came away having learned a lot we didn't know going in. That kind of expertise, delivered so warmly, is rare. She was an absolute pleasure to speak with. We left with exactly what we wanted, and Fino Lino has earned a long-term customer. If you're shopping there, ask for Larissa. You'll be glad you did.”
“Owner is very experienced and I have had a couple pieces done here that I am very happy with. Plus, love that we have this unique shop in our neighbourhood and we can support a local small business that does quality work.”
“I can't praise Corynne Taillefer and Ardele Warren enough for their invaluable assistance and product knowledge. They are simply the best! And I consider them an extension of my team. Thank you, Ladies!”
“Colleen is meticulous and great at her work. She listens and makes suggestions based on years of experience. She does not work quickly so you must be patient, but she produces a beautiful product. In the end that's what counts. Also, compared to almost anyone in town, her prices are more than fair, so you can also do more, completing projects without compromising. I'll be back as soon as I have something new to frame. Many thanks!”
“As a life-long local resident, I saw owner Kim start and adapt-evolve her quirky, marvelous store. I have > 40 years of recognizing Kimprints as an outstanding company of goods (unusually funny-naughty or otherwise creative cards, gifts) and services (picture framing and FedEx pick-up and drop-off). Kimprints' success is caused by being relevant, to what our community needs ---- which helps to create, and maintain, the community. Success is caused by a combination of too many things to list, but no less than anything else are fabulous staff, such as Candice, Amanda, and Jessie, who are stellar examples of warm, friendly, helpful, fast-efficient, good human beings you enjoy spending time with. Lately, I had to drop off a FedEx package. Candice and Jessie confirmed they provide the service and they can help me with printing labels (a life saver when you are in a rush and you realize your forgot something indispensable). They made it incredibly easy and fast to do this amidst a busy little shop. I echo one other customer's opinion: the only 'negative problem' is you want to buy everything in the store. Despite the facts of commerce, time with them does not feel like a transaction, but instead, a genuine relationship, however brief it might be; you might invite them over for dinner sometime.”
Two familiar names now share one storefront. Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store opened their first co-branded location in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 16, and the concept is spreading to nearly two dozen stores in what the company calls phase one.
Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
