The knowledgeable clerks can help you with almost any question and they're willing to order you things they don't normally carry. I've had specialty paint ordered for me before! The prices are comparable to other speciality art stores and the fact that I'm supporting a local shop is super important to me! Allard's also offers classes and there's usually student art on display to show off what students are learning! Located near the old Trader Joe's on Blackstone it's a spacious building filled with art!

With a studio space right on Fulton, it can be easy to miss when walking by. However, once inside, it's a very roomy space! The decor is super cute, there's tons of plants, and the artwork for sale is all handmade (I didn't get pictures of all of it). I even got a sticker for stopping by. Christine also has yoga classes on certain days with payment options that best suit your budget (and I think there's a monthly option as well). There are a few chairs and a couch for lounging, and the staff member that I talked to was super sweet! Definitely a great hangout area or even just for a quick stop by to check everything out!

The people here are much older people, but they're very nice for the most part. They also sell shoes. Seng's Accessories sells radios, tv (refurbished) and a little of Hmong antiques as well as Hmong clothes, jewelry, and clothes. This place has traditional and modern Hmong clothes, so give it a try if you are looking since Hmong new year is coming soon. They have the cutest Hmong embroidery shoes for babies so also stop by to look at them! Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo. Very useful household items can be found here as well as health & beauty. There are also clothes from Korea/China from here that looks like the ones you can find online.. Give it a try! Very decent price because it's actually in front of you and you don't have to wait a whole month for it! I'll be back to take more pictures!

V Nai Mini Mall in Fresno is a small indoor mall with several Hmong owned shops. You can find…read moreclothing, accessories, fabrics, and custom pieces that feel unique and culturally specific. It has a very old school and nostalgic vibe. That said, it's pretty small and not all the stalls were open, because we visited during the Hmong New Years. The layout feels outdated and very cluttered, but the vendors that were there were friendly and welcoming. It's worth stopping by if you're nearby or looking for something specific, but it's more about browsing than a full shopping experience.

My recent experience was yesterday. I had placed a mobile order and normally I just do curbside but I was in the mood to take a look inside. I had my two toddlers with me. So the bad, this location is a bit on the messy side, very unorganized and staff is almost nonexistent. They even have self serve checkout and no workers at the front. The good, they had so many Christmas decorations, ribbons, wrappings etc all on clearance 70%off and I as able to grab a few items. Most of the things are priced high but there are times when you can find items that are on sale and if you're a member you can get points and get extra deals. Their mobile order/in store pick up is also self serve! They have customers orders in individual boxes on the rack and you simple grab your items if you see it. I had ordered multiple items and one of which was oversized and couldn't fix in that box so it wasn't there. They have a button you can push to get assistance and I pushed that button about 2 times and waited a while. Until someone finally came to the resister and said she can help the next customer in line but I pointed out that I needed assistance with a a mobile order. She approached me and was an able to assist. But honestly don't know if that button worked or not.
