They don't have display cases, but huge boxes of merchandise as seen on Amazon (not TV). I don't think it's related to the internationally known e-commerce website. Alibaba is also the main character from the famous Arabian folk tale. Any ways, as I was saying, don't think all products from China look cheap. They're seriously made for high end consumers. Like cell phone accessories brand LeYi. I never knew this brand until I bought a cell phone case from Amazon. They got unique design and functionality. Yesterday July 31 was their first day. I arrived around 3 pm. They were busy unloading and setting up the shop. There were few customers. Employees greeted everyone as we came in. Prices are still handwritten on the crates. I saw $1, $2, $3, $4, $5... But I saw nice stuff in the crates. Oh, they take cash and credit cards. I wasn't planning to stay long because I could overspend for trinkets. Some items can become customized gifts for businesses. I'll be back when we can safely meet in person. Because I will buy a bunch of stuff for my meetup giveaways. **Updated after my second visit and chatted with co-owner Jason** They have plan to expend this operation to 10 stores in Houston. I think it's a great concept. I wish them luck and I will be back every month to see new products.

Crosses, wind chimes, huge Texas stars, and various signs to decorate the home! Oh and they also have cute masquerade masks!

This place is a little hidden gem for me. As soon as you enter, the cashiers greet you, "Hello,…read morewelcome to DD's." I love the home decor section of this place. I have actually found some fantastic deals for little to nothing. They have a great selection of things that you can use for your home. I found a nice chocolate bathroom rug with memory foam for $9.99, purple sheet set for my daughters room for $13.99 (great quality). If you are looking to decorate your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or any room in your home, check this place out first before hitting Marshalls, Ross, and Bed Bath and Beyond. You just may find something at half the price. Here is a list of the different category of items you can find. Luggage (back packs, purses, gym bags, etc), and name brands like Kenneth Cole. Shoes, clothes, car accessories, comforters, bathroom accessories, rugs, etc. You name it, they probably have it. Today I found a nice large insulated lunch kit/cooler for $7.99. Everywhere else, the least I saw it for was $19.99. Even got my daughter a smaller one to fit in her back pack for $3.99. And to think, I have paid more than double that for those darn lunch kits. When it comes to the clothes, I have found a few little things, but I normally do not shop here for the clothes. Side bar: Not all are the same. This location has nice things. I have been in other locations where it was kind of disappointing

Take time to really look at everything; the store is so full of stuff, that you might miss a great buy! I purchased a purse for $3.99 and later found almost identical one at the mall for $30.00 - I've purchased some famous name brand spray paints with unusual colors and textures and used them for hobbies and crafts. Don't forget to check out the kitchen towels, chair covers, pot holders, place mats and such or the tool and automotive section - you can put a great emergency kit together for your car or home. Great hunting! Leena

I only frequent this location because it's right next door to Fitness Connection so it is convenient to stop in. The workers here are...special. On one of my visits, the employee initiated an altercation with a customer, took off his green shirt and was ready to fight the customer. This store also tends to be closed randomly during business hours. In my last visit, there were boxes everywhere and it looked quite tacky. Also, there were several bags of pretzels I was shopping that had a December expiration date...on February 8th. I don't expect much here but I keep coming for the cheap(er) items and convenience. I will say, the card selection is nice. They had LGBTQ cards which I thought was great.

This location is in a low-rent area, which can be a difficult part of town late at night, but is also a lovely and exciting part of town full of great food. It's a little run down and a little small, but there are some good deals to be found in the aisles and Barbi spent a good amount of time exploring, and enjoyed it a lot. Plus the extra stare since the goddess is the top photo.

I left it as was and went to a male worker that wS so kind. he emptied a box and handed to me and laughed when i told him what happened. It was not funny.

They do accept credit cards and touch less payment too.

Compared to Ross Store about 3 miles away, this is the worst sibling. Second of all, the merchandise at this discount store is equivalent to Dollar General Store couple of doors down. The quality of goods is questionable. I believe they created an illusion to attract local residents. But if you look closely, there have defects. I bought a pair of sweat pants few years ago. After first wash, it became a kid's size. It went with my donation pile for Goodwill. Another incident, a planter splitting at the rim after I put soil in there. So buyer beware. Check your purchase before paying. If you expect to use restroom here, don't bother. You won't find any public restrooms in this part of neighborhood. It's better off using the ones at Arthur Storey Park.
