I like BWP. It's similar to a Tuesday Morning. Items appeared to be Target salvage, Amazon returns,…read morediscounted/discontinued Sam's Club inventory, and other closeout type items. I respect any business that's willing to buy this stuff and keep it from being dumped in a landfill. Clean store, friendly staff. Nice variety of things - especially if you're in the market for home decor, kids clothes or games and toys. They also have health and beauty items, pet supplies, pantry items and a lot more. We purchased about $50 worth of merchandise and used a coupon. Prices were pretty high on some things, in my opinion. For example: the last lowest price on some of the Target merchandise was priced higher by BWP. I'd come back. I like the concept. Located in a North Liberty strip mall near Mosley's and Pizza Ranch. Convenient parking. BWP also has an online auction platform and you can buy some things at super cheap prices in bulk from their website - like a random case of 20 Funko Pop figurines for $60.00 bucks! Join there rewards program. Lots of incentives and weekly communications. Recommend!

Maker to market. Shop gifts intentionally--…read morehandmade, ethical. During these unprecedented times, I find myself thinking more and more about how I spend my family's hard earned dollar. Ten Thousand Villages is a fabulous retail spot to support. While the store has over a hundred locations in North America-- they do fair trade right. Every handmade purchase directly impacts the life and community of its maker in a developing country. I hopped on their site one day during quarantine to shop with my mom in mind. The site is so, SO easy to navigate. There's a Gift Finder tab that I found extremely helpful. I opted for the Recycled Sari Flowers. No two flowers are entirely alike due to them recycling fabric. They were made in Bangladesh. (My mom does NOT have a green thumb. I feel like fabric flowers will be welcomed.) On the site, you get to see a blurb about the maker of each item. It makes you feel good to see who you're supporting with your purchase. Shop Ten Thousand Villages for any gift giving you may have. Whether it is during social distancing on their site, or at their store in the ped-mall. It is a literal treasure trove.

It's got a wide variety of items. I popped in on a Saturday evening and perused the shop. There are so many unique items, all priced appropriately. I was impressed to overhear a regular customer pop in and chat with the staff. There is definitely a sense of community at this shop. My daughter saw a daffodil Lego set and was thrilled have it purchased for her. (You're welcome.) It's cool that they have board game night (Thursdays) and that you can come play a board game yourself anytime during the day. On the same note-- if you have an old board game you can sell it here. You can now sell your used games in our store. To do this simply follow these few steps. You set the price and once it is sold you get 80% of that price as store credit. The coolest thing about The Hobby Corner is that they will order anything for you if you can't find it in the store-- at NO additional cost!

It's floor plan is well placed, and the doors and floors are clean. Their merchandise is the best you can get for the prices they display. I paid out on a bracelet of mine I pawn that suprised me as well. This is not your ordinary pawn, check into cash store. It's more, they have an awesome layaway plan for broke individuals like me, 10% down, I think, then a very comfortable payment plan each month. It's now Christmas in July for $1 down and payments until December!!! That's not all, they installed a Wheel of Discounts that you can spin once every visit towards that days purchase! (Limited on certain items for the discount) You don't even have to pick the merchandise out prior to spinning. $150 discount limit per spin. I have purchased a 12 string guitar and brought it back the same day, and they let me trade for another that was less hard to play. I brought it back for another store credit and they didn't get irritated at me at all, cuz I can be irritating. The boss lady just smiled, treated me like family. I now have $240 store credit and kinda gonna let it ride for now. No, they don't pay you interest, on your store credit balance. They aren't made of money, but they do know how to run this very successful business.

Additionally, there is a nice new accessible playground in the middle, along with a great stage area. There is shade, plenty of seating-- it is great for people watching!
