I frequent Roses often, when I am looking for something different that other stores just might not carry. I find their prices to be very good on most products and fair on others especially if you are there and don't want to go anywhere else shopping. My last visit I was just taken by surprise!! i was so PLEASANTLY PLEASED to see the changes made in the bathroom relocation and cleanliness. The store was organized and maintained! I have never been nothing but treated with respect by all their employees, young or old!! CONGRATULATIONS TO WHOMEVER IS RESPONDSIBLE FOR MAKING THIS ROSES A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP!!!! read more

It's been here forever, it seems. It's a bit rundown but still has the manners that have disappeared form other larger, more modern stores. You will hear Mr. or Miss so and so mentioned as terms of respect for the more senior members of the staff. I'm just going to have to say it, much of their stuff is cheap quality but it's stuff that you'd likely want to buy. Granite stock pot. You used to see these years ago but good luck finding it any place else. Furnishings. Yeah, some interesting and often items not seen at other places but again, either you like it or you don't. Sometimes you'll go all over town looking for something and find it here. However, the store has gone downhill. Garden section is largely nothing but stuff you don' want. They used to have a video rental which is long gone. The clothes. Naw, last time I bought a shirt there, washed it once and the colors ran, so not going to go there. Nothing much in the electronics section worth mentioning. Checking out is like Walmart, you wait forever. But, like I said, you will see things here that you won't find easily anywhere else. I've also found the staff to be quite helpful, except for one of the bosses, a black guy who was playing overseer over a younger white employee. That doesn't go over well with me, not so much black pushing on white but anyone treating someone like that. Parking lot should have been repaved years ago. For some reason they put in a curb and it makes getting across to the other side a chore. We used to have a store called Zayre's. it's like a lot that but still in business. I think there's a loyal customer base that is dying off. They could improve by treating employees like human beings and maybe carrying a few products that are of a higher quality. Forget stocking garden and plant stuff. it's too little, too late and not worth the extra cost, time to cart it inside and waiting to pay for it. No one wants to buy a bag of dirt that you can pick up with one finger and costs $3 bucks plus. Update the parking lot: PAVE IT. The little shopping center that it's in has been in decline for years. Maybe if they put more effort into that to update and get businesses in there, it would draw more people in off the road. For the unusual thing, might be what you're looking for. I was looking for a cross to put on a grave and no where in town could I find anything like that but here. These are the things that they have that other stores may not. But, hey, treat your employees like people. Slaving days for blacks and whites are over. I did take notice of the white guy who was trying to load a purchase for me and the black supervisor sitting in a rocking chair waiting to chew him out because he took too long. That lost my business from that store. I don't care if someone's white, black or whatever, don't treat people like trash. And, especially, don't yell and degrade an employee in the public eye and ear shot. Hope the guy in the rocking chair gets to use it more often. He should be fired. Does this mean I'm saying Rose's the store is racist, no. I'm saying that black supervisor clearly was, in my opinion, and clearly enjoyed running down this poor guy who was white trying to do his best. I could see the joy in in his face and voice at being able to run down this guy. Not really a slick move. I'm sure it wasn't the first time that this black supervisor had tried to put him in his place. So, I'm saying that black supervisor is racist due to what I witnessed and that the white guy has a strong case against this supervisor who represented the store, meaning yeah, the store isn't racist but the supervisor in that case is and the whole store is liable. I hope he sues. I would gladly be a witness for this guy. If it were the other way around, that is, a white supervisor saying those things to a black employee that morning, it would have been a civil rights case by that afternoon. In this day and age, it doesn't matter on your race, you cannot get by with doing these things. Black lives matter, ok. White employees matter, black employees matter, all employees matter and should be treated like they're human beings and not fodder for a racist black dude who looked like he was on a first named basis with Jack Daniels. Sorry, but that's my opinion. If it were a white supervisor doing this to a black person, I'd be writing the same thing, if not more adamantly. This so called supervisor needs to be shown the door. He has opened himself and the whole chain to a major civil rights lawsuit and if it moves forward and bankrupts the whole company, he alone is to blame. Racism is a two-way street white against black and also black against white is possible and the norm. read more
