I'm writing this to express my extreme disappointment with my recent visit to Simply OBX, an…read moreexperience defined by what I consider to be blatant false advertising and a very uncomfortable shopping environment. From the moment we approached the store, the marketing was impossible to miss; there were easily 15 to 20 signs--both outside and inside--stating "Everything $9.99 or less" with "No Gimmicks." To make matters worse, a staff member greeted us at the door and explicitly stated that everything in the store was $9.99. However, once I reached the knife section, I found items ranging from $30 to well over $100. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, I was told those items weren't part of the "sale." From a legal and professional standpoint, this is a textbook example of deceptive trade practices. When a business uses the word "everything" in both its physical signage and verbal greetings, it creates a binding expectation for the consumer. Labeling high-end items with prices three to ten times higher than the advertised "everything" price isn't just a mistake--it's a bait-and-switch tactic that can lead to significant trouble regarding consumer protection laws. If the pricing only applies to specific inventory, the signage must reflect that by saying "select items" or "starting at," rather than making absolute claims that are factually untrue. Beyond the misleading marketing, the store's environment was unacceptably poor. It was incredibly hot inside with no audible sign of an air conditioning system running, making it difficult to shop for any length of time. I also noticed that the exterior sidewalk had been treated with a smooth gray paint that lacks any visible grip or grit; this seems like a major liability, as it would become a serious slip hazard with even a small amount of moisture. While the staff members themselves were perfectly nice and professional in their demeanor, their courtesy doesn't excuse the deceptive management practices or the lack of facility maintenance. I would strongly advise management to update their signage to be honest with their customers, as "Everything $9.99" is a promise they are clearly not keeping.

What we were met with was in fact an adorable tank top... BUT when I reached for the tank top that I was looking to gift to someone was a giant ugly COCKROACH. I was absolutely appalled. When I told the cashier working behind the counter all he did was shake his head and say, " i'm so sorry about that". There was no urgency to find and get rid of the cockroach. He never even asked where the roach was. I know for a FACT, that the cockroach is still in that store. My family and I were disgusted, Absolutely NEVER visiting that Super Wings EVER again. I hope this establishment is happy that they lost multiple customers.

I enjoyed wandering around this toy store. I was looking for a family friendly game but I wasn't able to make a decision so I moved on to checking out the plethora of Melissa and Doug toys and the Create-a-Critter machine. I've always been a Melissa and Doug fan because I feel like they make quality, timeless toys. I like their wooden puzzles in particular but they offer offer lots of great toys. Anyone who likes Melissa and Doug will probably appreciate the diverse selection at OBX Toys. Create-a-Critter was new to me. Lucky for me there was a little boy making a bear so I got to witness a little bit of the creation process. Basically, Create-a-Critter is like Build-a-Bear. You pick the critter you want to make yours and then the staff help you use this big gumball-machine-looking-thing that fills the critter to make it a plush toy. Critters start at about $20 and then you can pick out outfits and such. In addition to selling toys, including hosting Create-a-Critter birthday parties, OBX Toys also has an engraving business. I saw some of their samples but didn't get a very close look. Also, I saw an advertisement that says they do gender reveal boxes which seems like a neat idea. I didn't interact with the staff while I was at the store but I saw them helping other customers and could see how kind, patient and helpful they are. I definitely plan to return the next time I am in the area.
