“Every time I get to Olympia, I make it a point to go by Childhoods End. They have a great and wide assortment of products that I can’t find anywhere else. I like to give these as gifts as well as keep some for my own uses. Highly recommend people visiting this store. You’ll find treasures!”
“Really nice antique store. Scored the series of four paintings for a very reasonable price and they have some more very interesting art pieces. Lots of rock for you rock collectors too. Will visit again when I am in the area.”
“I visited Traditions Fair Trade to find a woven basket to use in a gift basket raffle, which I’m organizing to raise money for our residents’ activities fund. They gave me a very fair price on a beautiful woven basket, and I really appreciated how supportive and understanding they were when I explained that the raffle proceeds would go directly to our residents’ activities. Their willingness to work with me on price made it clear that they care about community as much as they care about their products.”
“White shopping around town, duck into this great shop. They have so many different items for sale I can’t decide how to describe it. My particular favorite reason to visit is to purchase a new ornament for my tree in December, or to simply walk around admiring the variety of home and kitchen goods. Bonus if they have caramels at the counter - they are made it Vermont and don’t disappoint!”
“This is one of my favorite stores in Olympia. It’s been my go to store lately for birthday presents and of course, I always end up buying something for myself!”
“This place is insanely cool!!! metal work and pottery for inside and outside the home. if you like buying mugs, you'll go crazy here. everything is so reasonably priced, it's really impressive.”
“Did a great job re-setting a print and glass in the frame, after they had become dislodged (originally framed elsewhere.) Price was very reasonable for the work performed.”
“I was in town during FIFA World Cup, and had the opportunity to visit the store and pick up a couple of items. The store staff were excellent at explaining the background and sustainability of the products.”
“The Mrs and I really enjoyed meandering around the store because there is a whole host of things that would likely tickle just about anybody's fancy. I'm not much for the decorative element when it comes to fixing one's home up for a company to come over but I rather enjoyed being there.”
“This is one of my favorite stores to shop at. I come here quite a bit when I go to the mall. I had a gift card from World Market, & I used it & bought some new earrings & a hair pin from you guys recently.”
“A friend of mine got me a beaded bracelet with charms and I'm in love. I've been in the store before but never really found anything that I really thought I needed to have. I love looking at all the different stuff they have though and I'm giving 5 stars because of the bracelet and the price. They're so reasonable and the bracelet is being worn daily and it's exceptionally well made. Love it!!!!”
“I've been to this location before, and was able to get in and out with my purchases, but this time it didn't seem like there were enough cashiers on hand. Otherwise there was a really nice selection of merchandise, the employees were really nice and pretty helpful and the store was very neat and clean.”
“Sasha absolutely deserves recognition! Every time I’ve interacted with her at Ross Dress for Less, she has been friendly, professional, attentive, and genuinely helpful. She has the kind of positive attitude that makes a noticeable difference in a customer’s experience. Great customer service can be hard to find, and Sasha goes above and beyond. She is efficient while still taking the time to make customers feel welcomed and valued, and she represents Ross incredibly well. Employees like Sasha are the reason people want to come back to a store. I hope management recognizes what an asset she is to the team. She deserves to be acknowledged for the level of service she provides — and, in my opinion, absolutely deserves a raise! Five stars for Sasha!”
“As a new homeowner I'm here a lot and the employees are always very helpful and kind. Just today one lady went above and beyond helping me find an air pump for a flat wheel barrow wheel. And then the gentlemen (Jason?) checking everyone out at the pay kiosks was super gracious while simultaneously helping me look up my Lowe's rewards and a person next to me with a veterans discount, even with the man behind me who was being pretty verbally impatient. (even though there were literally three people total in line and he had to wait maybe 2 minutes...) That they are still able to be so zen after black Friday is a feat. I hope they get a holiday bonus.”
“It's hard to explain; feels like a family business as they have what you need and they're there for you they'll back the warranties just a good outfit,.”
“My husband bought a lawnmower that wasn't working, and the manufacturer was being less than helpful to fix it. Big shout out to Erika at this Lowe's store for meeting us halfway, even though it was a manufacturer issue, and helping us to a solution that fixed the lawnmower. She turned a frustrating situation into a positive one with understanding and empathy. Thank you so much, Erika!”
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.
