So this is the new Home Goods on 82nd Ave in Portland. It's been pretty hyped up by my friends but…read moreI had never been here. So I was in the area and stopped. Huge parking lot in a strip mall with many businesses. It was dark when I arrived and the parking lot was pretty dim with some lights burnt out. I don't like dark parking lots so found a light to park under. First thing I noticed when through the doors was Valentines items. I picked out a couple cards, cute red waffle iron and a set of kitchen towels for a gift. As I proceeded back further into the store there were several empty rows and a couple more partially empty rows. I was hoping for more but this location was pretty non-impressive. The one is Tualatin is wonderful and chuck full of items. They do charge for bags, 5 cents.

Yay, there is a new HomeGoods on SE 82nd! My car seemed to spot it before I did! While I was…read moreheading south towards Michael's, my car turned left down the drive towards HomeGoods, located in the strip mall with PetSmart. They took over an abandoned store, can't remember what was there, just know that having a HomeGoods here will definitely revitalize this little area. People were coming and going and it was quite crowded for a rainy Sunday. Maybe it's the time of year, but the large store footprint was not filled with goods like most HomeGoods. Many shelves and entire sections were bare. Like all HomeGoods, they had all the usual suspects - seasonal, gourmet food and snacks, gourmet chocolate, art, bedding, kitchen gadgets, bakeware, storage, small furniture, rugs, home decor, pet toys, beds and bowls, lamps, towels, pillows, bath accessories, faux plants and more! My favorite section is the gourmet food. It's a challenge for me to leave a HomeGoods without a bag of artisanal pasta! They have so many varieties and shapes not found in grocery stores in the PNW so when I see them, I have to purchase! I'm from an Italian American family with roots in NJ where the pasta aisles at grocery stores are a full aisle! So this section thatba,so contains olive oils, aged balsamic, roasted peppers, capers, pesto, artichoke tapenade and other Italian pantry items makes me very happy. The seasonal section is also a must. Right now it's exploding with all things pink, red, hearts and love for Valentine's Day. Those gnomes that used to be relinquished to the garden now find themselves dressed up for every season. Shelves filled with gnomes wearing pink hats and sweaters dominate this section. I'm in this area frequently running errands so no doubt this will become a regular stop.

I will definitely suggest dropping in if you need inspiration for any holiday or season. I usually drop into the Washington Square location and just happened to be here. I definitely did not leave empty handed. Today was about accessories. I found the cutest pair of black socks with white flowers on them which is so me! I am big into wearing black and white and these are so unique! I also grabbed some amazing incense, some candy and I have started collecting clear glass bottles. I could not resist one for $1.99. That is the thing... their prices are so incredible for very quality things. I find great hair accessories, bath products, snacks, home décor... just wander around... you will find lots of things. The cashier also hooked me up with more discounts and a coupon. It is great that they actually care. I really appreciate that as a customer. But, pro tip is finding inspiration. I have found some unique food item, wine or something that I planned a whole party around from wander through this store.

Large parking lot right outside the door is a huge plus. Definitely will be coming back to shop here!

Still lots of vacant rental spaces that workmen are working on, but there are a couple of stores already open along with their anchor tenant, SF Supermarket. The supermarket is really big and it has everything. . .fresh produce, meat department, live fish tanks etc. It was totally packed with shoppers. This will be a great place for grocery shopping since the area has been a "food desert" ever since Fred Meyer closed a few years ago. I'm looking forward to coming back later in the summer to see what other tenants will be moving into the mall. On my "wish list" is a nice teahouse, a hot food deli, and an all-day dim sum place.

The next time we're in Portland we will definitely come back!

This place has several diffrent vender booths selling, new & used furniture, clothing, kitchenware, decor, old doors, international items, skin care, antiques, and so many unique items. Easy to find street parking. You could spend an hour or 2 or 3 at this place looking at the amazing things they have on 2 floors. Make sure to check out all the nooks & crannies. Staff are nice and fun! I found the prices a bit high on some things and other things more reasonable It was pretty busy with all of people shopping. So a little tight to move around at times. I do wish the cashier/check out area was more well defined. People did not know where to go to get in line in the order the staff were doing it. So mabye some signs. Also people standing in the way of the cash out area since it is not well defined.

So you might find that random you're looking for or if you certainly care about price. I myself was asked to leave or carry my service animal and was told they don't allow "pets" I think it's fair to say that a service animal is yes a pet but also a huge need for the disability community as well. It's clear I cannot carry my service animal throughout the store while I shop and as I told them service animal they did not follow the correct procedure for this and will be contacting the ALCU and hopefully they can get educated about it. So I'm giving this business a huge thumbs down due to there lack of understanding and failure to comply with regulations in Oregon as a business in a prominent city of Oregon
