Go here if you want to get a replacement nut, bolt, screw to purchase a la carte. They have light supplies of garden needs and other pantry/household items. Key cutting services are available at a counter in the back of the store with prices ranging from $3 to $5 per key. $1 special on Tuesdays for 1 key. Located in the South Shore Shopping Plaza with plenty of parking. Apparently this store has been an Alameda business for generations.

He asked how…read morewe were doing, whether we had found everything we needed, and if there was anything he could help us with. He even wished us happy holidays. As I continued shopping, I noticed Kyle greeting every customer he crossed paths with in the same friendly and genuine way. I was so impressed by his exceptional customer service, professionalism, welcoming smile, and positive attitude that I actually went back to find out his name just so I could write this review. Kyle truly stands out--he made me feel valued as a customer, and it's rare to encounter someone who consistently goes above and beyond like he does. Kyle deserves recognition for his hard work, dedication, and outstanding customer service. He is a special employee who makes customers feel special, and I sincerely hope Target acknowledges what an incredible asset he is.

The whole place was clean and organized, and the shelves were stocked full of awesome and unique products on a Saturday morning. I picked up some laceys almond & dark chocolate toffee wafer cookies, sonoma creamery parmesan and cheddar crisps, and keogh's irish potato chips with real irish butter. And after browsing all of the easter-themed goodies, I couldn't resist getting a bag of kitkat bunnies as well. A worker saw my arms full and offered to get me a basket (he ran all the way to the front of the store and back). The care and effort shown was definitely appreciated. Customer service altogether was outstanding. I was greeted with a smile at entry, checked on multiple times by different employees while shopping, and my transaction at the purchase counter was quick and easy, with two employees opening up additional registers as they saw a line forming. I usually have a positive experience at World Market regardless of location, but based on my recent visit the Oakland store is superior in every way!

This place always surprises me with new stuff they have in store! Whether I'm looking for furnitures, snacks or new teas from around the world to try, this is the place to be! I was very surprised to find Hello Kitty and Friends, Sanrio and Gudetama here!! I'm super excited to add this to my list! One of my favorite things to find here are Bon- Bon candies, it reminds me of high school days where they did fundraisers every year! Super nostalgic! This location has been here since the late 1990s. This is one of my go-to places where I grab snacks for the movies around the corner. This place is a hidden gem!! Definitely will come back again!!

Secondly, I found something I wanted and looked for about 15 minutes for another item like it because it didn't have a price tag. I braised to have someone roll their eyes when I asked them to price it for me and one of the girls was so great she was gone for a while, but I didn't mind. I continued to shop and she brought the blanket back with a brand new spanking tag on it. Had an absolutely stellar experience with Dion at the register. He had no trouble wrapping delicate fragile items, and in fact insisted upon it. This employee goes above and beyond.
