If I Could Give Zero, I Would…read more I'm a lifelong gamer. Tabletop, miniatures, RPGs, the whole culture -- it's been part of my life longer than some stores have existed. While on vacation, I went out of my way to visit this local shop because I genuinely WANT to support small businesses and the broader nerd community. I regret ever walking through the door. The moment I entered, the owner couldn't have looked less interested. Not a hello, not a nod, nothing. Just a silent, bored stare like my presence was an inconvenience. Only after I made it clear that I intended to buy a few things did he muster even the weakest, most reluctant attempt at customer service -- and even then, it felt like he was doing me a favor by acknowledging me. The selection was mediocre at best, but I still planned on buying several items to support the store. I picked up some paints and asked about a statement on their Instagram: "No Chuds No Bastards." I asked -- politely -- what that meant. His answer? "It means no right-wing f***faces." Classy. A bit taken aback, I clarified: what about someone who isn't racist, isn't hateful, but is simply more libertarian, pro-military, pro-police, pro-Second Amendment? Would they be welcome? His answer, smug and proud: "No. I hate the police." Why? Because, according to him, police "don't protect lives, only property." This man had no idea who he was talking to -- a law enforcement officer who risked my life at the Pulse nightclub terrorist attack to save members of the LGBTQ+ community. I have literally put my body between innocent people and gunfire. I have earned a Medal of Valor for saving dozens of lives. But in his world, none of that matters. Nuance? None. Respect? None. Just blind bigotry wrapped in fake moral superiority. He ranted against the military too. Apparently anyone who serves, protects, or runs toward danger instead of away from it is unwelcome in his store. Rather than blow up -- which he absolutely deserved -- I simply returned the items, told him I wished things were different, and left. Bottom line: If you are police, military, law enforcement, first responder, or simply someone who believes in basic respect for people who serve their community, stay FAR away from this store. They don't want you there -- and trust me, the feeling will be mutual once you experience the owner's arrogance, hostility, and pathetic customer service. Support literally ANY other local game shop. This one has proudly chosen ideology over community, contempt over kindness, and bigotry over business. It's not worth your time, your money, or your presence.

I swear, it's like my husband has radar for hobby shops with tabletop gaming. He did not look this…read moreplace up, we just happened to be walking by while we were sightseeing in Providence. He happened to see a Pokémon in the window and asked if we could go in. I didn't even think it was a shop. He's so glad we came in though because he found some stuff he had seen online that he hadn't been able to find in shops at home. He was super excited and his friends are a bit jealous of his finds. The store itself is well organized and the playing areas are nice. It's not big but they have good stuff for a good price. My husband says a lot of places mark their stuff up super high and he didn't find that to be the case here, so he was happy. The person working the counter was super friendly and of course he and my husband started a long nerdy conversation. He asked him to come back on a certain night but we were leaving Providence this same day so we had to say no. I know my husband wanted to come back. Maybe one day.

Have you heard of the monsters? If yes, then you must be familiar with POP MART. POP MART has…read moreopened their first location in Rhode Island at Providence Place Mall and is located on the first floor next to the LEGO store and in front of Miniso and Uniqlo. It is also POP MART's 35th brick-and-mortar location in the U.S. POP MART sells "blind boxes" of different toys and figurines, some of which are exclusive collectibles. For months, I would pass by the Opening Spring 2025 signage. Finally, during the first week of June, I passed by one day and saw it was open! I was surprised since I didn't see the announcement on POP MART's instagram page. I talked to the staff member and she informed me that this was a soft opening. The store's grand opening was on Saturday, June 14, and this was publicized on social media. The line started to form at 9:00pm the day before. I joined the line at 1:00am and I was number 158. I was able to go into the store a few minutes before 11:00am. Unfortunately, flip with me was sold out, but I was able to purchase the other labubus I wanted. It was a long night/morning, but it was definitely worth it. Starting Monday, June 23rd, the store pickup option is available at Providence Place Mall. This allows customers to order online and pick up items at a store after the store confirms the order. I always find the staff very friendly even though they are probably so overwhelmed. I am so happy that POP MART landed in Providence Place Mall. I'm sure they will do very well and get lots of customers. Good luck to those looking for labubus. May the odds be ever in your favor.

You cannot walk in and buy labubus here. I saw people complaining about that on google. The few…read moretimes I've gone in, everyone working was nice. The store has a lot of cute stuff, again, not for purchase. You can order items online and pick them up in store. From what I could tell, all other items are sold in store, but no labubus.

One thing about Restaurant Depot is that they're the champion of low prices. They absolutely knock…read moreit out of the park when it comes to dry goods & paper products. I cut my costs by around 10% when I started coming here. However, shopping here can be tough. It's stimulus overload. It's loud, bright, & stressful. Oftentimes they are out of vital products & there's no reliable way to check beforehand if they have something or not. One time last summer they were out of 12oz plastic cups for weeks. The employees work hard. The forklift guys always make me laugh. I don't have anything negative to say about them at all. However, they seem to be chronically understaffed. They never have enough registers open to manage the flow of customers, & I've had to wait up to 30 minutes in line to check out. Maybe the checkout system needs to be updated? Like prior reviews have mentioned, going to Restaurant Depot is never a FUN experience. It's a necessity for restaurant owners. I'm thankful that this place exists, but I think it needs some updating & TLC. Misc: - Average trip to Restaurant Depot takes me ~90 minutes. - I wear headphones to cut out some of the noise. - Get a cart WITHOUT the top shelf. I've basically concussed myself multiple times on that shelf. It's not worth it. - Take your time in there. Crunch the numbers to see which products save you the most money. - Don't forget your membership card!

It's soooo poorly run and it's literally a free for all trying to check out! Watching people cut in front of you from all angles with no one having any idea which lane they are in makes my blood boil each and every time I am forced to go to this poop hole .
