Four stars for now, but this place could EASILY fall into 5 star territory, once I have some more…read moretime to really dig in. Either way, this home decor in Independence Square is seriously a hidden gem. What I am most impressed with is that I can easily see women and men (or at least men with an eye for design) being impressed by this store. While some of the stuff is a little too frilly for my taste, every time I turned my head I was drawn in to look at something else. In my head, I redecorated my entire apartment, and it looked pimp. Some of the particulars that I really liked: - high quality reproductions of WWI era (I think?) wool army blankets. - Edison bulbs, everywhere! - Great vintage desks and tables made of reclaimed wood One minor downfall is that the store seemed somewhat expensive to me, though I guess you get what you pay for. Not often do I say "I HAVE to get back to Independence," but damn... I have to get back to Independence!

I about had a pengasm right there. But the Stetson hats were gorgeous as well. There's wallets (manly looking, but very finely crafted), money clips, and beautiful wooden containers to put on your dresser, holding your belongings. Part of the store has political bobbleheads...I want one so bad. Wonderful political paraphernalia that I loved so much. There's not many stores that catch my eye on Independence Square. This one, I'll return to, if just for the pens and bobbleheads. It will probably be a Saturday after I'm paid, cause I could easily spend quite a bit in this store. The employee was very kind and helpful, and Credence Clearwater Revival played on the stereo. It's an amazing store, and not just for men.

This shop deserves a lot of credit. This is the kind of place you don't really see. When I had last…read morevisited I remember all the selections of hats and classic memorabilia. It was super cool to somewhat step into a time machine and visit such a past, pure Americana. This is the kind of place where a boy can become a man. You can find a lot of vintage looking "things" and simply stroll around. I have to say the best part for me was the couches, you can sit in and relax a bit. And if I remember correctly Mr. Truman himself had gotten his first job at the spot next door when he was just a little boy. Remarkable location, a great way to honor someone and seriously, a beautifully crafted shop.

I made the mistake of trusting the ties and while unloading from my vehicle, one of the items came apart, fell and shattered. I believe the store should bear at least partial responsibility for improper assembly. The store manager was having none of it. My fault 100% but they would check like items in inventory to fix the problem. At Home may fix the problem for someone else but they sure didn't fix it for me. My fix will be shopping elsewhere.

This gem of a store has been so clutch over the years for picking up gifts. Some of the people in my life are, um, a little hard to shop for, but when I come in here, I always come away with something great. It's all so well-curated; some gifts are classy, some funny, and many are versatile. It beats the socks off of going into a big box store in a million ways. Being in a charming stretch of a walkable area adds to its appeal, and the staff is always friendly. They also have Pickwick candles which are some of the best in town. These soy candles will last multiple seasons and almost all of them smell amazing. Cheers to this shop, they're doing it right and have saved my bacon every December since they've opened.

While I went there for a Trapp candle leather/tobacco for my son (which smells like leather and tobacco and is really nice) the amount of board books for children is phenomenal. I could easily spend $100 on board books there. And not just regular board books, but interesting topics like the Kansas City board book I bought. 3. Haha the cluster eff towels, cluster eff pencils, Get the eff to sleep book (which I bought). The unique gifts and trinkets are bountiful and wonderful. I laughed out loud plenty of times, including at the Dog in Chairs gift cards. There's plenty of things to see and buy. Thanks to Adam and the Yelp shop local event, The General Store is a must see. Oh I forgot pictures, sorry.

They have a huge variety of just about anything you could think of, I would say it's your one stop shop. I picked up great stocking stuffers and present for all members of the family.

They has a large selection of books, housewares, food items (pantry goods and drinks), accessories, home goods like bedding and linens, a small pet section, toiletries, luggage, sporting goods, cleaning supplies, electronics, a little bit of outdoor items and shoes/clothing, and seasonal items. Honestly, little bit of everything. The layout was pretty easy to figure out, bathroom easy to find, and items neatly arranged. They had quite a few employees helping to arrange items in the store and to help us with any questions or concerns. Although selection was a little lacking in some categories, given that it is a bargain outlet/closeout store, it still had some good deals and items priced competitively cheap. If I'm in the area, I will make sure tk visit the spot again, since their inventory changes regularly.
