“We went because they were adjusting their marketing strategy and were getting rid of a lot of their clothing stock... I'm not certain why they had any issues selling what they had because the space is welcoming and tastefully decorated...it smells great in there and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We bought everything we could carry and went away feeling like we had just robbed a bank. Wonderful experience!”
“Bought a purse from them online. Always a little skeptical at buying something from a “random” place online, but they had very responsive customer service. The purse arrived fast and in perfect condition. If you’re thinking about buying something online from them, I’d say go for it.”
“I send greetings from Poland to a nice worker of your store with Polish roots ? I visited the store in July and had a great conversation with him just before leaving US from Tacoma ☺️ I miss Seattle, I miss Washington state.”

“ATTENTION: OWNERS OF MANIC MERMAID, READ THIS! As small business owners ourselves, my wife and I have a specialized perspective on your small business.
Firstly, with so many crystal shops these days outrageously pricing their crystals, you offer your products at a good, fair, and most reasonable price.
Your customers notice this and you are appreciated!
Secondly, the 2 of your employees that we have met, Janelle and Charles are truly outstanding representatives of your business. They go above and beyond to help a customer. You will find that you can't train your employees to have that quality. They either have it or they don't. Janelle and Charles have it! My business contracts with the United States military and I have hired people for 27 years with fancy college degrees only to find out they don't even know how to talk to people. Janelle and Charles know how to talk to people. Realize that because of this, their professionalism, their knowledge of product, and their personality, Janelle and Charles make your business money! As long as you have Janelle and Charles, or employees exactly like them, we will be loyal and repeat customers!
Thirdly, there was an issue that could not have been foreseen by us or you. Your business took care of us. You took care of us more than I would have asked. And you took care of us without me even asking. How rare us that? When I was growing up, it was instilled in me that the true measure of a business is in its customer service. Your business has integrity in your business practices. That kind of integrity is almost extinct in American busines now. Your customers notice this and you are appreciated.
Lastly, I call on everyone out there. We need to support MANIC MERMAID. If we don't, we may be left with businesses that obscenely overprice crystals, have no customer service, and no integrity in their business practices. LET'S ALL SUPPORT MANIC MERMAID!
Most Sincerely,
Grant & Cindy

“I love this place it's great the owner is super nice and helpful they have a godd selection of fish they were all healthy the prices are a little high but Ive gotten 3 fish from here and all were in good shape and it's just a lovely place I would recommend”
“Great little spot in the Freighthouse Square. Really enjoyed the selection and vibe, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. Good spot for some last minute gift shopping”
“This shop is a lovely community space that feels right at home on 38th! The owner is talented and passionate about what she does and that comes through in the thoughtful curation of the store. I especially loved the jewelry selection - high quality, cute, and so well priced!”
“From the original 'The Old House Mercantile' to their new name and location as The Proctor Mercantile, they have always been a 'must stop' for me. As a Fiesta dinnerware collector for 30 years, I have probably funded their retirement, and I'm proud to have done so. So knowledgeable, so passionate, so professional, so kind. I would give 6 stars if I could!”
“Cute shop with good prices and really adorable items. Every time I go the employees are super kind and helpful. Don’t waste your time at other stores in the mall like FYE (which is wayy overpriced and has rude staff) instead go to Fuego and you will have a much better experience!”
“Went there to buy some chocolate covered strawberries. Excellent service. Products like that are made at the moment so come in with some 10 min to spend. Highly recommended!”
