10/1/20 Upon visiting this store weeks ago, I felt compelled…read moreto write a few things about this store.   Upon reflection, this store gave me the feeling I stepped back into the 70's. I see Sweet Jane walking in brown corduroy bell  bottoms with lace bell sleeve top shirt. To top it off she is wearing black gogo boots. As an afterthought,  Jane is wearing black lipstick and has a black flower in her hair. Okay, I am getting way off topic.   Half Moon Beads and Rocks is a seventies store, but they have some nice merchandise.  The incense figures are very colorful and cute.  (a word I hear a lot of. I challenge women to go one week without using the word cute) If I were big on using incense, I would be tempted to buy one of these creations.   The dragons are the ones I like the most. Aside from that, there wasn't much that got my attention as far as merchandise is concerned. The owner or manager of the store had a striking resemblance to my cousin Carla. Her mannerism  were spot on too.   Small world at times. My time at this store was fun, but I am not sure when I will be back, but the next time we stop by, there might be some more cool stuff in this store.  Oh, and when talking to the owner or manager of the store, she was very down to earth just like my cousin, but it can be hard to tell at times.  Another thing this woman and my cousin have in common.

I really like this book store. Its a great place to hang out and look at books on a day you have…read morenothing to do. I went in to exchange d.v.d.'s, and in return you get store credit you can shop with. They don't take every single d.v.d. but i got a decent amount and found some pretty good reads. They also take books. The store is clean and organized. The prices are pretty reasonable. They had fictional books, cookbooks, new age, spiritual/religious, diy, gardening, children's books and more. The staff was friendly, and its a chill vibe inside. I'll definitely return. They have a location in Norfolk and Chesapeake as well. Check them out!!

I don't know how i missed reviewing my favorite Virginia beach shop. For the past several years i…read morehave shopped here for little whatnots each time i go to the shore. I picked up some jewelry and some grateful dead items each visit. There is always so much to look at and it's all unique to their shop. Nobody else on the oceanfront has such awesome hippie merch. The people hanging there are always friendly which is such a plus when you're on vacation. They have it all. Clothes, accessories, mugs, home fragrance, hippie decor....anything you can imagine. And good prices too! I heard they burned out in a fire a few years ago and i am sure glad they came back and rebuilt. I can't imagine the each without a visit to this shop. Walk in happy. Walk out happy. Worth a visit!

I have been to B&Ns all over the country and it is always the same experience.

Enjoy the Starbucks located inside and take your time browsing books makes for a wonderful afternoon with friends or your kiddos. There is ample parking and the staff is always friendly and full of knowledge. Happy Reading Yeeps!!!

It seems as though my previous review disappeared as I have frequented this store for over a…read moredecade. I recall my children being young, so definitely a long time. The business listing shows four years is the culprit. They are much older than this and somehow the old business listing was replaced. In my opinion this is the best of the chain in the 757. Why, because you also have the mall and it's not just a one off trip. The store is located on an end by Dicks Sporting Goods. So it's easy to park and go in. They offer the largest children's area of the chain on the Southside. It's well maintained, but now somewhat dated after a renovation probably ten years ago. Staff has been friendly over the years. The price in store is the same online and can save shipping and time. They also offer a very small coffee shop and sandwiches and bakery items. This is not a draw to the store, it's too small. I will continue to shop them.

Shopping in Virginia Beach, Virginia…read more.. I've known my friend since First Grade and I trust her totally. When she makes a suggestion, I listen and follow. She said that we should take a look at Ollie's. It's a discount shopping experience. There are all kinds of overstocked merchandise such as books, clothing, personal care items, pet supplies, gardening tools, snacks, beverages, greeting cards, children's toys, kitchen appliances, towels, linens, home decor items, etc. I found silicone gloves for cooking/baking, a shower caddy for my God daughter's bathroom, and gardening gloves for the beach clean up this weekend! Great deals! At checkout, the efficient cashier asked if I wanted to join the Loyalty Program - Ollie's Army. Sure! I'm looking forward to returning and getting more bargains in the future!

Okay first off, the countless images of "Ollie" hanging everywhere creep me out…read more Now that that's out of the way, allow me to begin my review. The claims of "cheap" stuff are only that.. claims. Just the condition of the store was questionable, as it seemed most stuff was just scattered around, aimlessly. There wasn't much I found to get, which was somewhat disappointing. It felt like a cross between Kmart, Rose's, Big Lots, Dollar General and your typical dingy little outlet store you see in 90s movies. The only thing I ended up with was a light blue bath towel. It's not bad, but I will admit that it's the only bath towel I own that had mystery stains on it after the first use. It's like it bleached itself. I didn't do anything different with it and it still rebelled for some reason. I'm not blaming Ollie's specifically, but it's still something to be aware of if you're in the market for one. Service wasn't bad during my visit. I would check other locations before I'd make a definite conclusion on the chain. However, in regards to this one?.. It's a "meh" at best.

My last stop of the day for minerals and I felt like I hit the holy grail…read more They have it ALL. Located two blocks from the beach strip, they have their own parking lot for patrons which any shopper would appreciate. I came into this space and although it's not categorized as a metaphysical store, I immediately felt its powerful energy. To me, that speaks volumes because I've visited so many shops in the 757 and zero have given me that pull. They have already made jewelry, drawers upon drawers of beads in all different forms and mediums. And my favorite, what felt like a mini warehouse of minerals. Be them polished or raw. A geologist vs a gemologist destination. I saw a station for cutting and polishing but didn't ask if they do any custom orders. I am giving this place a solid 5 stars off experience alone. Word of caution, this isn't your fancy, love and light store. It was hot when I went too. However, if you value minerals, crystals, stones which are uncut, still holds its individual energy, then you will respect this place. Yes it could use some TLC. It is dusty too, but these are essentially housing a lot of uncut rocks. What do you expect, right!?

Okay so this place is definitely cool BUT I have a 3 year old who is big into rocks right now and…read morethis place is NOT appropriate for kids. We walked in and the whole place wreaked of weed. So much so that I was not comfortable having my 3 year old and infant inside that building. We walked in and turned right back around.
