“This shop is a destination! - and - I'm from Grand Rapids! Unique, seasonal gifts fill the store. We were there just after the Halloween items came on sale. Better than shopping online or in a catalogue. It's an experience just to go in there.”
“What a great array of merchandise! I was in a mission to solve a specific need and walked in 10 minis before closing. No problem, everyone acted like they had all day to help!! The owner and staff were fantastic! I same wait to return with a little more time to explore!!”
“I recently (December 2025) purchased a pair of MCM shelving. The third piece of the set includes a desk and sliding door over desk storage that I don't have room for, nor need. The owner, Mike, gave me a great price for the two. To expedite delivery and for my convenience, I chose to coordinate my own pickup. Mike's been very understanding about my delays (Winter weather and conflicting scheduled events) in picking up these two large, cumbersome pieces of furniture. This shelving furniture is temporary, and will be replaced by another form of wall mounted shelving over the next few years. I mentioned this to Mike, and he's open to buying back and reselling this shelving in the future. I really appreciate his honesty, and his broad knowledge of MCM furniture and accessories in mid-Michigan. Plus, he's a mellow guy who's interested in selling beautiful, functional wares to people who appreciate MCM design.”
“I recently stopped at My secret garden and I was very impressed with the staff and how they went out of their way to help me! Renee assisted me with my purchases and showed me a few new things I want to go back and look at! Overall I think this business is top notch!!!!!!”
“Where to start... I can't say enough fabulous things about the staff, owner Kelli, and all the awesome vendors they have. You are guaranteed to find something you love every time you go in. The prices are beyond reasonable. Go check 'em out!”
“Outstanding service at Prime Brothers Furniture in Bay City, Michigan. We were greeted right away by a Guy who understood what we were looking for and was efficient, knowledgeable, and resourceful, with a great selection of furniture at good prices. Highly recommend. GREAT JOB! Delivery team outstanding too!”
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.
