“Moving can be incredibly stressful, I was feeling completely frazzled trying to furnish every room in my home. I had purchased furniture from CORT over 10 years ago and still have those pieces today, so I knew I could trust their quality and value. Once again, they did not disappoint. A special thank you to Donna! She was ultra-professional, kind, and truly a wizard when it came to helping me find the perfect pieces for my new home. We selected furnishings for my entire home in just 35 minutes! I highly recommend asking for Donna such a pleasant and seamless experience. Thank you! Diana”

“Grow Geneva is a really cute shop, and if you are a plant lover, I think it is a must-visit. I really liked how the whole store revolves around plants without feeling like a typical garden center. They have a large collection of cards, bookmarks, journals, and other stationery featuring plants and botanical art. Many of the pieces spotlight local artists, including Liza Mitchem and her Feral Creature Ceramics brand as part of The Earth Made Market. They also have fun “pause for puzzle” and other brain activity books, plus stationery for cat and dog lovers. There is a lot of little art and paper goods to discover throughout the shop. The plant selection was another highlight for me. They had a great variety of healthy-looking plants, from cacti to many different indoor plants, and I especially appreciated the dedicated section of pet-safe plants. They also have beautiful pots in different colors, terrarium jars in several sizes, compost, fertilizers, and other things you might need to take care of your plants. It felt like a place where you could come in looking for one little plant and easily leave with ideas for an entire project. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly, and I really appreciated the care they put into wrapping my plants before placing them in the bag. It was such a small detail, but it showed how much attention they give to the plants and to the customer experience. I was also lucky enough to stop by during a terrarium-building workshop. The instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable about plant care, and the $18 fee included all the materials. It was a really fun, family-friendly activity, and I enjoyed meeting some of the other visitors and locals who joined the workshop. The shop itself is spacious and beautifully designed, with a very recognizable personality. I loved the combination of plants, art, colors, and small discoveries throughout the space. I was impressed by the variety and by how thoughtfully everything came together. I hope to come back in the future, both for plants and to see what other workshops they offer.”

The delivery people were great too!”

“There are places you visit, and then there are places that feel like they were created just for your soul. The Gnome Colony is the latter. ✨ Walking through the doors feels like stepping into a tiny enchanted universe filled with whimsy, beauty, sparkle, and love. Every bauble, every beautiful scent, every little treasure seems to have its own bit of magic. And then there is Michael. What a beautiful human being. He has this extraordinary gift for making women feel special, beautiful, celebrated, and completely safe to simply be themselves. He doesn’t just sell beautiful things — he creates an experience. You leave feeling a little more feminine, a little more joyful, and somehow reminded that you deserve to be adorned and cherished. The Gnome Colony isn’t just a shop. It’s a little sanctuary of magic. And Michael is the fairy godfather of it all. 💕✨ If you’ve never been, go. Let yourself wander. Let yourself be enchanted. You may walk out with a beautiful bauble, but you’ll leave with something even better — a little more sparkle in your heart.”

“I’ve been to this shop twice now. First time was almost by accident and so glad I happened upon it. Second time, I had a friend visiting from Milwaukee. We drove from downtown Chicago to the shop (about 35 mins) and the shop was closed. We inquired in a neighboring shop and long story short, a wonderful neighboring retailer opened the shop until someone could get there to ring up our purchases. It is an amazing shop with great gifts (for others or yourself!) and the retailers in that little strip are second to none!! I will shop here continuously for all my special gifts!! Thanks to the owner and her amazing staff and the friendship of the neighboring shops.”

Hubby was shopping at record store next door & it was nice to peruse the store in peace.

Will definitely return when we’re in the area again.”

“Mary Dooley at the Schaumburg , Illinois store was wonderful. We walked in not knowing much about sleep number beds after trying other mattress brands in our search for a new mattress. She taught us about the technology behind sleep number beds. She showed us the difference in our spinal alignments before and after adjusting the bed. We felt it in our bodies almost immediately. She answered all our questions and gave us time to discuss what we felt and wanted. It was a positive experience from the moment we walked in the door till the final purchase. We are looking forward to our bed arrival and better nights sleep with less aches and pains in the future.”

“I had a really great experience at DuPage Lighting, absolutely excellent customer service. I had found a second hand light at a vintage store, but the light was missing some mounting hardware. I brought in the lamp to see if they could help. I was so happy that even though I didn't buy the lamp from them, they were more than happy to help me troubleshoot how to hang the lighting fixture! They have an incredible selection, a beautiful show room, and a knowledgeable and kind staff!”
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.
