“TARA IS A JEWEL! It’s rare to find someone in sales who continues to provide excellent support after the purchase. Too often, once the sale is complete, customer service falls short. That was not the case with Tara at The Back Store in Poway. We were returning customers dealing with a costly purchase and a frustrating warranty claim. Once Tara stepped in and made her magic happen, everything changed. She turned the situation around with genuine care and outstanding follow-through. Her dedication restored our confidence and proved that old school sincere concern for customer satisfaction makes all the difference! Tara’s a bright shining star that stands out from all the rest. If her boss is reading this, Tara deserves a huge bonus!”
“The Barn Redefined is hands down my favorite store for decor and vintage furnishings. Unique pieces and the owners are the sweetest! Please be advised, they moved to a new location a couple of years ago and somehow the map apps sometimes mess up and direct people to the old location on Midland Road. THE BARN IS NOT OUT OF BUSINESS, they have moved. Their website and social media reflect the current address on Danielson St. Google and Apple Maps are not “the website” so it is extremely unfair to leave the store a 1 star review based on bad info on Map apps.”
“I love HomeGoods! They have a lot of really fun things, including but also beyond home decorations and small furniture. They've also got a ton of random Knick knacks.”
“Came into the store July 29th 2025. Our cashier was Becca, suuuppperr sweet and cool lady. But I felt so bad for her because when we were waiting in line, the line just got longer and longer! She must have called for backup and help 10 times! At one point she even went on the loud speaker and asked for help from “anyone associate”. It must have taken 15 minutes for one associate to come and help her. My kids and I felt so bad we started to remove hangers from all the clothes we were going to purchase to help her be able to scan things faster. Giving a 4 star because Becca was awesome! But the fact that she couldn’t get help was crazy!”
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.
