“I wanted to share how great of an experience I had at my local HomeSense. After visiting three other stores where there were zero Hanukkah items, I called ahead just to ask if they even had Hanukkah candles so I wouldn’t have to waste any more time. The manager went above and beyond.. she personally searched the store, found them, and when I arrived at the store even walked me over to the Hanukkah section herself, and was incredibly kind the entire time (including being sweet to my dog, which never goes unnoticed). In a sea of red-and-white Christmas décor, it meant a lot to find not only Hanukkah items, but ones that were actually stylish and thoughtfully displayed. Thank you, HomeSense, for making me feel welcome and taken care of.”
“The Beehive is such a special place, and my go-to whenever I need a gift or want to find something beautiful and unexpected. Dawn has an incredible eye and works with the most amazing artisans and independent makers. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen: beautifully made, unique, and meant to be loved and kept for years. I especially love the jewelry, home goods, cards, soaps, candles, and textiles. The shop is always being restocked so there are new things to discover. My favorite purse is from The Beehive, and so are many of the vases, candles, textiles, and little objects throughout my home. I continue to appreciate long after I bring them home. There is so much personality and care behind everything Dawn carries, and you can tell that the makers and the stories behind their work really matter to her. It’s one of those rare places where you can walk in without knowing what you’re looking for and almost always leave with something that feels just right.”
“Amazing selection of 20th Century modern and industrial design. I have purchased many pieces that are now in my home. I treasure them. He has an educated and refined eye for great design. His prices are very competitive and he is extremely easy to work with. Hard working and dedicated to his passion.”
“Fausto at Vidal Design is wonderful. He has a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Most importantly, he is kind and a pleasure to work with. He took design plans for a custom wood banquette with leather and fabric upholstery and made it look beautiful and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Vidal Design and Decoration.”
“Like the people who work here would have given it a five if they carried more Twin sheets and you could find them in the aisle they are supposed to be down always find other sizes for Christmas but never twin sheets.”
“I haven’t been to HomeGoods in years since they closed the location in Mahopac. I stopped in on a whim today and was thoroughly impressed with the size of the store, the general organization, and just the sheer amount of selection.HomeGoods is a wonderful store to add some personality to your home. They have items that are unique enough and represent various aesthetics, but won’t go out of style soon. And it’s also great to see some of your more “basic” items (kitchenware, towels, etc) at lower costs than your average retailer.If you’re in the area on a lazy Sunday, stop in and do some window (or real) shopping—you’ll kill time and have a blast!”
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.
