I am a Fiesta Novice and already I Love this shop! I went with a veteran Fiesta lover. All the new and firsts are at the front of the store. I went straight to the back for the seconds. Shelves & shelves full of seconds, current & discontinued colors. If you're okay with a small flaw here and there you will love this place too. You can get the dishes deeply discounted. Some were even BOGO free and others as low as $1.50 for dinner plates!
The inventory varies they could have multiple shelves of the same color and just a few dishes of another color. Luckily I had some great finds in Plum, Shamrock and Poppy (my new favs)! If you don't mind searching each piece, inspecting it for any flaws, you can score big. There are shelves in back of the store with small towels and bottles of cleaner to help as the dishes in the back are dusty. Be prepared to potentially search a lot of dishes but when you find the gem you're so happy. The staff was very sweet, friendly and knowledgeable. She was ready to help us with the colors and inventory questions. Very nice I wish I asked her name.
Lots of retired dishes on display (not for sale). They also have pitchers on display of each color made with the date the color came out & the date it was retired if applicable. Very pretty and amazing the first color was made in 1936.
After spending over an hour in the back I made my way to the front. Some pieces were on sale so still good deals to be had up front. They also have flatware, butcher block & knives sets, cooking sets, measuring cups/spoons, trivets and more. They sell turvis tumblers and also single turvis lids.
One more time searching the back and we were ready to check out.
All the pieces rang up at the correct discounted price. Even my BOGO plates!
My dishes were packed with great care and the boxes were closed up very well with packing tape. Great attention to detail & it was appreciated.
I will definitely go back, preferably after they get a shipment so I can get my hands on any incoming seconds. Only about an hour from home. Decent road trip distance. read more
