While exploring the NoDa area, I stumbled upon Blank Generation, and the moment I saw the word…read more"bookstore", I had to stop in! Total book nerd move, no regrets. This is a used bookstore with so much more to offer. Beyond books, they also carry unique knick-knacks like vintage clothing, arts, journals, and other thoughtfully curated items. The overall vibe is very bohemian and relaxing, the kind of place you can wander through and instantly feel at ease. As expected with a used bookstore, there's that classic old-book/thrift store scent, which comes with the territory and adds to the charm. The space itself is quaint, organized, and really cute. The bookstore section was my favorite, such a great selection across genres including mystery, romance, banned books, crime, and more. Truly something for everyone. I ended up purchasing two books, both reasonably priced and in great condition, which made the find even sweeter. The employee working that day was super friendly and helpful, answering my questions not only about the books but also about the surrounding area, which I really appreciated. I loved my time here and will absolutely be back to explore more books and browse the other unique items. If you're in NoDa and love bookstores with character, this spot is a must-visit.

My G-d, I'm not sure how this place will manage to keep there doors open. I would really like to know how and how much they actually generate. They need to expand the selection of items that they have available for sale. Unlikely they will be able to remain in business for much longer with rising rents. This is a prime time Charlotte location! Good Luck!

For the Dilworth location, there is plenty of parking, and you can find it on the end of the plaza, close to the Harris Teeter. The store is great for gifts of all kinds, especially if you're looking for some Charlotte flair. They have lots of clothing options, as well as trinkets, art, baby stuff and pet stuff. I stopped in after work and was greeted by friendly staff. I browsed for awhile before figuring out what I wanted. Much of what's in there is from local artists and suppliers, which is really cool! Ultimately, I found what I was looking for, and am very happy with my experience. They also mentioned that you can reach out via Instagram if you have questions or would like them to set something aside for you. This was a great find, and I'm excited to gift my new purchase. I'll definitely be back!

I have been collecting art for many years now and have never experienced the ineptitude and…read moreunprofessionalism that l have had with this so-called gallery full stop! I purchased a very expensive painting from them and l still haven't received it due to their inexperience! Firstly, their very young employee Emma took it upon herself to send the painting via UPS Saturday delivery! She never once asked me if this was okay and the shipping fees were absolutely astronomical! I use a business address for shipping and Saturday delivery isn't even possible! ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE CUSTOMER FIRST BEFORE MAKING SUCH BIG DECISIONS! I requested a refund for the shipping charges, but Emma refused! Young Emma kept promising me that she had followed up with UPS to reschedule delivery, but sadly, l had to keep following up with her as she never followed up with me directly! I kept tracking the package and there were even more hiccups! The package was never placed on the delivery truck for the supposed rescheduled delivery of yesterday. Today l wait and wait, At 4:37 p.m. l tracked the package again only to find that the wrong address is on the shipping label! Where is my painting? I will never know and will file a dispute with my cc company. Just a warning to please avoid SOCO at all costs for anything of value!

Bookstores like That's Novel have my devotion. Just walking in, I felt an intense sense of peace…read moreand contentment. I'm surrounded by books and all is right in the world again. They have more than just new copies of the latest releases! They have used books! They have cute gifts like candles and art and jewelry and more! They have detailed staff picks that are featured! Books are clearly organized in ways to make them easy to find and you'll find every genre here. And there are reading nooks, so you'll never want to leave. I almost feel like a new book is like a pet that you'll take home and cherish forever. I'm so grateful for a woman-owned bookshop like That's Novel.

They also had a little section with cute gifts, stationery, merch, etc. Service was friendly, too. Out front they had a rack of cheapo $1 paperbacks - that's my kind of scene.

I came here to return some gifts from my son's birthday but I didn't have a receipt or a DD's bag…read morebecause the toys didn't come gift in a DD's bag and the sales person refused to do my return. The way the looked at me and treated me was very rude. Like I stole these items and was trying to return them for money. The security lady even had the nerve to say, "why don't you return them to where you got your bag from?" I grabbed a random Old Navy bag I had at the house that would fit all the toys; doesn't mean I'm trying to cheat someone. Even so, it would end up being a store credit so I'll still be spending money to get what my son actually will play with or use. I ended up donating the toys to Goodwill because I don't shop here and I would never in my lifetime.

I didn't see anything over $40, so it tells you a lot of the big ticket items are not here. And I'm ok with that because it appeared less cluttered. I visited on a early Friday afternoon. This location recently opened. I was surprised to see items already on Reduced/Clearance. And I got them! I came looking for items I needed for a new project. And I wasn't disappointed. Only downside is that it appeared not to have name brand clothing or perfume like Ross. I could be wrong but that's what I noticed. I did see some name brand shoes. There was a security guard in the store just like I've seen at other Ross stores. I overheard the cashier saying they are hiring on the spot. I will most definitely return because the closest Ross to my home is 9.5 miles away. This store is less than 6 miles away from my home.
