I have lived near Little Shops since they opened 13 years ago. I fell in love with the place then…read moreand wanted so badly to open a little business in there, however with two small children, etc, that didn't happened. Over the years, I would go in and visit and continued to love the atmosphere and the people. I will grant, the building is very old. This is the NW valley after all and there are lots of very old buildings that are still in use for homes, businesses, etc. Quite a few of them are showing their age which, to a good many people, it adds to the charm. There have been some roof problems. Gee, live in NM, have a flat roof and you are going to have problems. That may have been where Stewart got the smell from. Personally, I have never smelled cat pee or any other bad smells in there. Why are there not more employees in there? Most of the artisans leave their wears on consignment, so usually, there is any where from 2 - 4 employees in there at a time, sometimes more, and if they are busy with other customers then you may have to wait a few minutes. As for not many cars in the parking lot, I can point to a lot of businesses that have times of the day or days where there are no cars in the parking lot. That doesn't say anything about the quality of merchandise and services inside. There are over 15 different vendors selling their merchandise and services. I would say that at least 80% of it is hand made by the vendors. However, the Avon store carries Avon products, jewelry, and other products that are made by Avon. She also orders some wonderful inspirational art, souvenirs and other items that are made elsewhere. But, that adds to the great variety of merchandise available. Stewart's last statement was, "This place either needs to search out some better vendors or they won't be around too long." Well, that was 2 years ago and Little Shops is still going strong. Lots of people come in for the first time and love the place and there is a lot of repeat business. Please, don't take Stewart's word for the quality Little Shops . Check them out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

My shopping list for my Route 66 Road Trip was to buy 2 pairs of cowboy boots. I found this boot…read morestore on Google. It blew me away how many boots they had, affordable prices for exquisite quality. So much selection in colors, embroidered, inlay, bedazzled, crocodile, snake, calfskin, fur. I found exactly what I wanted and the boots are comfortable from the first use. Got compliments on them right away. I even went to their other store and bought a 2nd pair. Way better than Boot Barn which is a big box store. Stick with the mom and pop stores.

Lots of clothes and some decorative and home goods as well. Prices seemed fair. I look forward to going back and exploring!

The selection of vendors is top-notch and they seem to specialize in mid-century modern. We took a few laps around and (of course) found a collection of small sculptures of nudes (male and female) without pricing. They are great about calling the owner of the stall and negotiated a smoking deal for six sculptures. They were great at wrapping/packaging them all and now they're proudly on display in my living room! Some unusual stuff, priced fairly, with friendly staff. We will definitely be back!

My son & friend were visiting from Dallas. They asked about buying some cool vintage clothing. I knew thrift stores were a good option, but extremely random. The two highest rated shops are just a few minutes apart. Avengers & Broadway... Avengers clothing was very well organized, clean, high value, & worthy of a visit. If you are my age it's a trip down memory lane. For the younger generation, a look into the past. They even have lots of accessories for the clothing...jewelry, hats, shoes, ties, etc. Go ahead visit those thrift stores, but when you get tired of spending hours shifting through clothing get to Avengers. Even if you are just cruising down Central stop in for a visit, for that future event. You will not be disappointed!
