“Frustrating experience at world market by Pike's, 4 hours of shopping and discussing with the manager, was told to call in 2 weeks for two large items they needed to ship to the store and that they'd hold the 3 carts of items we collected inhouse in the back so we could make one large purchase when the big items arrived in 2 weeks. Called two weeks later and they had no record of our order and had no carts in the back that they promised they would hold. Wanted to go to a different store, but went to world market in Redmond since we wanted a few particular items. First employee thru the gate was very kind, attentive, helped me figure out a game plan to transport all items, and help me collect everything I was looking for. Took over 3 hours and they were beyond patient. So rare to find actual customer service these days. Turns out it was a manager named Robert G. Whatever he is being paid it is not enough. Went from 0 to 10 stars out of 5 because of Robert at the Redmond store. Thank you again friend!”
“I love Utopia. I get most of my jewelry here. They have a great selection of different artisans and styles and reasonable prices. I have been shopping here for decades. One of my favorite presents is a Utopia gift card!”
“Few of the deals continue to be great. Stocks from clearance mixed with regular stuff, this causes slight difficulty in picking up your stuff. Tuesday senior discounts are good savings.”
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.
