“OMG, this place is like heaven. It's filled, and I mean filled, with all kinds of stuff. My friend and I spent over an hour here looking at all the great things! We decided we would visit this place every season of the year going forward. We just loved it.”
“Love this store and the owners. Always find something for my home and they are so helpful, but never pushy. Thank you for the lovely needlepoint “bear bench” - even my husband loves it!”
“Wonderful shopping experience! Marissa Connolly helped me choose the loveseat that I was looking for, in the fabric of my choice. I am a returning customer to La-Z-Boy store, having purchased a convertible sofa bed and Mission-style leather recliner over 15 years ago! I know my current purchase will give me as much pleasure and wear as my previous purchases.”
“We love our new Chilton Bed Frame. The bed is beautifully made, well designed and comfortable. It was delivered and installed on time, and with ease. Everything about the service and delivery was to notch. We purchased a floor model, so Zac took photos from every angle so we could see what we were purchasing without visiting the showroom. Five stars from us.”
“I recently had a tarot reading with Catherine and it was wonderful. She was warm, welcoming, and insightful, and the reading really resonated with me. I left feeling hopeful and grounded. The shop is amazing as well. Highly recommend visiting and getting a reading!”
“My most prized possessions are all from Campfire Pottery. I fell in love with their work when I lived near their store in Portland. Everything is so beautiful and functional. I've received a ton of compliments on their items. My favorite item is the espresso cups. Their shipping and customer service is excellent. I'm trying to stop shopping at big corporations and I am joyfully redirecting my funds to small businesses like Campfire. I have a line item in my budget just for their pottery.”
“Worked with me on delivery and gave me 10 off because the two chairs (separate purchases for people with disabilities) were going to the same home. Not sure it was a deal but it was something”
“Casey was our rep and he has exceptional customer service skills! He kept us up to date on sales until we were ready to purchase. He really understood our needs and once we were ready to make the purchase he swooped in and made it the easiest part of the whole process. Thank you to the Portland store and a huge thank you to Casey!!”
“This store is so special and unique! Their selection is so wonderfully curated (including the Marimekko napkins) and Tom was lovely to speak to. I would recommend this place to anyone :)”
“Obsessed, perfectly curated and so cute! We were searching high and low for some art and gifts to remember Portland by and every other gift shop was ridiculously expensive. I ended up getting two art prints, a magnet, and some match books”
“The Curtain Shop of Maine installed shades in our bedroom. Everyone was super-friendly, knowledgeable and professional. A great experience every step of the way.”
“Terrific store. I stopped in on a whim and looked for a gift for my wife. The clothes here are unique and tastefully designed, and the owner-designer is a very cool woman who found a great item for me. My wife loves it.”
“I went in looking to buy some at home spa supplies for a friend. This was out of my zone and Patricia and Ashley gladly helped me out and gave me some suggestions. Thank you so much for the friendly help!”
“Great selection of lighting with a friendly, knowledgeable staff behind it. Was greeted promptly and politely and left with the answers I needed and a plan to purchase. Highly recommend!”
“Visited Jen Burrall Designs for the first time a few weeks ago. What a gem right here in Portland!!! Jen’s handmade jewelry is absolutely stunning!!!! She is in the process of making me a ring with Seaglass, I can’t wait to pick it up, the intricate design within the ring is amazing!! She also made me a band, made with sand from the beach in Maine, it’s so cool!!! And the clothes, WOW!!! The styles Jen has picked out to sell in her store are absolutely beautiful, she has an eye for fashion, a true artist!!! I picked out so many eclectic pieces, and she’s always getting new, fun styles in. She also has other really cool items that she sells, that would make awesome gifts, like bags, and wallets. I have been in, now a few times, and like I said she always has new, different, cool items to browse through. Also, Jen is super cool, laid back, and easy going. It’s such a pleasure seeing and talking with her. She makes you feel so comfortable and welcomed in her space. If you’re looking for something different, beautiful and hip visit Jen at her shop in Portland, I can promise you, it will not be your only visit!!! Thank you, Jen for your positive, and creative energy!!! See you very soon!!! Gina”
“We have purchased many beautiful pieces from this store and have loved every single one! The quality of the furniture is outstanding and adds a truly unique and old world luxury feel to any room. We absolutely love love love your store!!”
“Thank you Jacob! You helped find a small granite table and 2 beautiful chairs...and on sale!!! All within 2 weeks; delivered early by 2 nice men with white gloves, wow! As an 88yr young retired dentist I know service!”
“The food is frankly phenomenal - it's themed around delicious Cajun fare, but your traditional bar staples (*cough* try the fries *cough*) are also absurdly good. The cosy atmosphere is reminiscent of Cheers, there is frequent live music, and the best part is that (outside of live performances) they don't blast the music! You can hear yourself think and have a conversation without yelling, a rarity these days. Bonus points because all their stools/chairs solidly touch ground with all four legs, so no wobbling all night because you got the dud seat. Gardens outside for those who are into plants, and an eclectic consignment store right next door for that good wandering. Haven't tried the breakfast/brunch menu yet, but excited to go back for that.”
“Incredible staff and well stocked and visually appealing store. The location is an old bank and oh my god its so interesting to look at. My only complaint is for the staff, I wish Urban Outfitters would splurge and get these wonderful ladies full time security so they are able to do their jobs without worrying about being harassed, assaulted, or worst by shop lifters.”
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.
