Mostly quite upmarket but you can find some dog towels for a dollar each if you are lucky. Expensive-ish but not as much as the red cross shop.
Disappointing customer service. Staff at the counter were more focused on their phone than assisting customers, which didn’t leave a good impression. When I inquired about a discount for buying multiple glasses, I was abruptly told to ‘read the sign’ instead of receiving a polite response. After purchasing, they also had no paper to wrap the glasses, which is quite inconvenient. A little training in customer service would go a long way in improving the shopping experience.
Very well-organised, items are section in size and the colour coordination on the shelves is very gorgeous. Nothing here much for younger people like me personally, but for families and older folk theres a really great selection of stuff
Beautiful new store, looks amazing!
