I moved to the Lawrence area and the HomeGoods store was still being renovated to open. So I had to keep telling myself that I would get there when they opened. Has been open for several months now and this is my first time getting there.
I'm not quite sure how I feel about the location exactly. It's off the major road in Lawrence( Iowa st), but it's sort of hidden. You have to really look for it because it sits next to Five Below and Hobby Lobby and if you're not looking for it you'll pass right by it. Not to mention traffic through there is completely congested because of the McDonald's across the way. That being said, there is ample parking and the signage looks good. When you get inside the thing I love the most is how well lit it is. You immediately feel yourself come to life as you walk in. For example I arrived on a very rainy day and I was already feeling drowsy and sleepy, but as I walked in those lights woke me up and I found myself rejuvenated and interested to walk throughout the store and see what they had. So the lighting is wonderful. The items that they have available are pretty cute and unique, however it's not enough. I thought the building was bigger than what I seen. The store looks very small inside, but they do have cute items and the prices are okay... not great, but okay. Will I come here again? If I can't get to athome in Olathe, then I will definitely be stopping here to pick up a thing or two. It's worth the trip read more
