This is a fantastic little local business that redefines the concept of "shopping small" by offering a wide array of locally made products - everything from handmade clothing to soaps and creams. The next time you have a present to buy for someone, the Purple Cow should be the first stop you make. Speaking of presents, they even have a section of birthday and special occasion cards, which makes it an easy one stop shop for all your gifting needs. While a lot of the inventory tends to lean toward the yogi-earthy-crunchy set, they have a great section of toys and stuffed animals for the young and young at heart, plus a whole lot of classy jewelry that's also made by local artisans. The Purple Cow is a must visit if you find yourself in Wakefield, RI, and need to purchase a memorable gift for a loved one, or simply just want to browse around a truly wonderful small local business!

It's right next to Ulta and a few other stores that I personally enjoy shopping. My husband mentioned that the shopping center was literally created for just me because it has a lot of my favorite shops in the same center. Extremely friendly employees that helped my husband find the medical books that he was looking for and my sons all found something that they wanted. I will probably go back to buy some calligraphy pens that I saw. I'm just an amazing vibe all around. They had some great deals on some books and other items I bought my husband some posts that said number one Dad on it. I love that there's a place for you to get coffee so that you can sit there and enjoy some coffee while shopping around.

Hello Barnes & Noble Customer Service,…read more I am writing to share a concern regarding a recent in-store purchase. While waiting in line at one of your locations, I heard the cashier tell my party and two other customers, "I'm sorry, we are out of pennies." The cashier then rounded the total down and retained the remaining two cents from our purchase. While I understand that two cents may seem insignificant, customers should not lose money--no matter how small the amount--without consent or compensation. Although there is currently a penny shortage, that does not justify a business retaining customers' money. If this practice occurs regularly, the amounts add up quickly. For example, retaining just $0.02 from 25 customers per day equals $182.50 per year at a single store. Across 721 Barnes & Noble locations, that totals over $131,000 annually. I understand operational challenges, but customers should not bear the cost. Clear policies, transparency, or alternatives--such as rounding in the customer's favor--would be more appropriate. I appreciate your time and hope you will review this practice.

Today, the Anderson family operates 100 stores throughout the Northeast and also in Florida - as well as a thriving eCommerce business -- with over 3,000 employees who make The Paper Store "tick." I got some nice gift items that I needed and I loved the way the store is laid out, organized and the friendly staff. It all started with a small newspaper stand in Maynard, MA in 1964 - established by a guy named Bob Anderson. Each store has departments that include fashion apparel, accessories, spa, home décor, stationery, jewelry, sports, and more from brands like Vera Bradley, Lilly Pulitzer, Jeep, Life is Good, Vineyard Vines and Pura Vida. The Paper Store is a proud Hallmark partner, which ties into the backbone of the company's mission -- to commit and provide stellar service to all Hallmark Gold Crown customers and provide the offerings they know and expect from Hallmark.

Okay hear me out!…read more This Walmart is giving me very much '90s/early 2000s vibes before Walmart started carrying groceries. This is probably the strangest Walmart I've ever patronized, and I'm not quite sure why it is set up the way it is, to be honest (I think it stays alive because there's an actual grocery store a few doors down). It's odd - like parts of it are what you might see in any other Walmart (outdoors/bikes for example), but it's almost more heavy on the clothing side and less so on the household goods and groceries side. It's like an abbreviated version of a standard Walmart. They have a much smaller selection than a regular Walmart, and there is zero produce. The reefer/freezer section is one aisle (frozen on one side, refrigerated on the other). The service seems fine (I used self-checkout both times I went, so can't say for sure), but just know that if you're expecting a regular Walmart, that's not what you're going to find here.
