Stumbled upon this cozy little shop today and oh. Em. GEE!!! The owners are local and the wife…read moreowner's mama (that makes sense, right?) was working. She could not have been more kind and warm; I'm so sad I didn't get her and the owners' names (but her daughter also owns the jewelry store across the street!!). Olive & Slate is a must-shop. Instantly the scent of one of their candles hits your senses and you're drawn in. They sell these awesome robot pieces made of metal and tin and are painted and out together by locals. They also sell flour towels with amazing quips on them (see pics below - they're only $7!!), and Mud Pie products that you canNOT love without. You gotta go visit. BRING YOUR MONEY! Buyer's remorse is NOT a factor here!

The Olive…read more& Slate is filled with items that are uniquely different from what you see in shopping malls, or what you might even think about looking for online. There are numerous items (like coffee mugs) styled with clever sayings. There are candles and pots, note pads, and ceramics. Near the entrance is a 3' long "Woodie" station wagon car filled with products. I've never seen anything like it! The mix is eclectic, but somehow the owner has a good sense of style and taste to make it look like it goes together. She was glad to assist if I had anything in particular that I was looking for too! Just another cool shop to stop by when downtown in Muncie! Review #2620

While browsing around the Muncie Mall, I found this family/locally owned shop just down the way…read morefrom the Penney's. The shop has a mixture of household items, women's clothing, and decorative items including some with inspirational sayings. I'll let some other reviewers talk about the women's clothes (other than this looks like a place for women, not girls.) What I noticed were items like battery powered candles, wind chimes, angel figurines, and some items that also had humorous sayings, particularly for cat lovers. The payment counter is centrally located in the shop and easy to see from the mall entrance. There were two women working during my visit and both were helping customers while I browsed. Seemed like a nice place to look for something different for your home and to support local businesses. Review #3516

Alright, Menards, you win. We first visited Lowe's, and I thought I'd find what I was looking for…read morethere. No one was nearby to help. And when we went to ask a worker for help, she told us to go to that department to find someone. riiiiiiight. So we left, headed to Anna's BELOVED Menards and found an off-brand version of what I was looking for that does the same exact thing I found online. And we were pointed in precise location by a worker walking the floor. I always thought I was a "Lowe's" person. (We don't have a Home Depot here). But as for local shops like this, consider me converted to a Menards fan.

Wow. I got yelp to literally review this -I don't even know where to begin…read more Several months ago I ordered one piece of wood successfully on the Menards website. I got to the store and after dealing with three different incompetent employees, they couldn't find it -so I told them to just cancel the order. They said they couldn't do it at the lumberyard and sent me to the front. The cashier told me I can cancel it but I would be charged for restocking fee ( mind you this is the product THEY lost somewhere and I literally never had). I asked to talk to the manager who told me it's too bad and I can call corporate because it's their system. FYI- you can't call corporate. Had to make a whole scene. I then walked and tried to order siding only to have to explain to their workers how to use their own website. They were looking at an entirely wrong product on the website and I had to show them how to navigate to the correct one. I'll save you some time- just look online. Dont talk to their unhelpful employees It's quicker, if that's all they're gonna do. What a waste of time. I then went to the paint counter in hopes to get exterior paint. I quickly talked with the worker and asked which exterior paints were best, and he just pointed to each of the ones and said "well this one says it's exterior." ... thank you I can read. Again short and rude and unhelpful. I told him I was wanting to order sample. I looked around for a while, and then when I went to actually get it, he said "oh we don't have exterior paint samples." Lead with that. It was my fault that I gave them one last shot in ordering siding. I successfully ordered it online, waited three weeks, and got a email notification that it was ready to be picked up. Sent my spouse to go get it, and guess what, another fiasco. This order also couldn't be located by the employees and apparently didn't come in and had been mislabeled. They had five other pieces of it and tried to say that was our order (I had ordered 11 pieces...) Honestly, I don't want to make this review too long, but essentially he had to fight that it was the wrong item, they wanted to charge him restocking fees. When he went out to the car to call me and ask my opinion and went back in to go ahead and buy the 5 pieces they had they wouldn't let him because "they already cancelled it". What a mess. Incompetence is one thing but the customer service is horrendous. They should be embarrassed. Run do not walk away from this Menards. Yes Their products are fine, but there is no "corporate" you can call so they can just be jerks, and unhelpful, with no repercussions. Unless you want to be charged for horrible service and being talked down to, do not go near this Menards.

Great place for browsing. Nice people at check out. Home decor is worth checking. Thxread more

I've found my new favorite place. We have recently purchased a house in the area and I am trying to…read morefurnish it. I have been looking for places where dealers have individual booths. Finally, I found this place. The store has great parking out front. The aisles are large and easy to navigate. There are so many different types of dealers that everyone is sure to find a treasure. I was looking for furniture. Not only did I find exactly what I was looking for, but the prices were extremely affordable for the quality represented. I found several accent tables and nightstands. I even found a lovely small sideboard that was solid wood. I also found a great set of nesting tables for $59.99. I was amazed since I have bought a set at wholesale price in the past and paid close to $150 for them. Darion was super knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. As said, I purchased a number of larger pieces and wanted to fit them all into my vehicle. Darion took the time to help me load them and reload them in my car until we were able to fit most of them in. She was willing to keep trying different ways to get it all in. She definitely went above and beyond. Without her help I would have had to get someone to come help me load my car since the pieces were too bulky and heavy to do it alone. She was AMAZING!!!!!! I look forward to coming in on a regular basis since these types of stores have constantly revolving stock. If you see something you like, buy it, because it will be gone the next time you come in.

I waited about 10 minutes and he showed up. I was interested in an old recipe books for some artwork I was working on. I love old bookstores, especially ones like these where books are just stacked everywhere. I found what I was looking for here and the cost was very reasonable. I went up to pay and he also told me I could pick a bookmark that his girlfriend made to take home with me. Right up my alley. I looked around at some of the other book types and picked up a couple extra books I thought I would like. He definitely had a lot of interesting books, records, posters, etc. Also to note the parking lot that was behind the store had signs that the parking was only for some insurance company and you would be towed, I asked him about it and he said the building used to belong to an insurance company and yes it was the parking for the bookstore. I will be going back to check out other items as I did not have enough time this trip.
