This location in Alameda actually has a women's/plus size area which is very convenient to shop. I usually will find at least one or two new inexpensive shirts, sweaters, shoes. ($15-24)

I've finally figured out why the lines are always so long. The employees allow customers to cut the…read moreline. While waiting in line a group of customers were allowed to cut ahead of everyone because one member of their party was already at the register. They joined them skipping the line entirely. They did 5 separate transaction. This felt unfair to those patiently waiting. This store should enforce the line system consistently to ensure all customers are treated equally. letting multiple people skip is unfair and disrupts the flow of the line. Store employees say there's nothing they can really do. shows a lack of respect for customers who wait patiently.

The place is neat and clean and well-stocked. We actually found everything that was on our list. We're not from the area, but we usually take my Mom shopping here as she lives in the East Bay, so we come to this store often.

The customer service needs to be improved. I pressed the need help button multiple times and waited…read morefor 20 minutes just for no one to come. I went and found a worker and she told me she would tell someone named Ivan to go over. I watched and listen to her tell him over the walkie that guests were needing assistance by the legos. I went back, expecting to be helped just to find no one. I didn't expect for this Ivan to get there right away, so I just waited for a few minutes, and then I clicked the need help button multiple more times. Overall I'm more than certain I waited over 40 minutes and still left unsatisfied. If things are going to be locked up, at least make sure your workers are staying alert. Only selecting one star for this experience because it won't let me leave it at zero.

If you visit South Shore Center, Modern Mouse is the absolute best reason to go. It's such a hidden…read moregem! It feels like a little slice of Japantown right here in Alameda. They have so much cool stuff from local artists, SO MANY stickers, stationery, artist prints, blind boxes and Pokémon cards. Great for gifts, and especially a good spot if you're visiting from out of town looking for unique local finds The owners and the staff are incredibly sweet and welcoming. Shop is right across from FAAS, so a perfect chance to visit the kitten room too or pet some adorable bunnies. Also huge shoutout to South Shore Cafe for one of the best breakfasts on the island. Staff also is incredible and always a 10/10. Support local!

Lots of retail options too, like TJ Maxx, Old Navy, West Marine, Daiso, Ulta, and more. They even have Crunch Fitness near Marugame Udon. It's more spacious than Fremont Hub; I had to look at the directory twice to not lose direction. Most people go here for Trader Joe's and Safeway for errands. Plus, it's conveniently located near the post office. Great to visit when in Alameda.

Ross Dress for Less, Oakland…read more August 2026 We were greet when we walked in, it was a good experience so far. They have a good selections of Stanley, Hydro Flask and Owala water bottles. They are by far cheaper than most places like Target and Amazon. Would come back if I'm in the area.

I was nearby and told myself, " It's either now or you're ordering online and waiting for shipping time." We don't all use amazon prime for everything - the majority of items though, yes! I walked in and went straight to the body care/skin care section on the right. There was a large stock of lotions, but not so much the face roller and ice roller. I got the last of each. There weren't many cashiers when i got to the line, but they called another associate to the register and she was getting through the line fast. I was in line for no more than 5 minutes with about 7 customers ahead of me. It was an average experience, hence the 3 stars.

Daiso, Alameda (South Shore Center)…read more I've been here many times, the staff are awesome and friendly. This Daiso location has a lot of stuff but it's very small, it's a very tight squeeze when you're trying to walk past people. The prices for their items has gone up over the years.

Some months ago it seemed they had made some improvements, and it was getting a little easier to get a human being on the phone at the pharmacy, but more recently things have really taken a nosedive. Calls to the pharmacy are now routed through a call center located who knows where, but since many issues can only be resolved at the pharmacy itself, the call center ends up transferring you to the local pharmacy you were trying to reach in the first place, wasting your time in the process. When you get transferred to the Otis Dr. pharmacy, they simply do not pick up the phone. You are put on hold and put back on hold infinitely until you give up or the system automatically hangs up on you. This is completely unacceptable. Zero respect for customers, their time and well-being, especially the infirm, elderly, and disabled who may not have the tenacity to keep trying to reach this unreachable pharmacy. Having no way to reach one's pharmacy over the phone is a health and safety issue that warrants a formal complaint with the appropriate government agencies. All because Walgreens corporate doesn't want to spend the money to staff appropriately. Shameful and inexcusable.
