The Purple Store used to be on Aurora Ave in the north end of Seattle. I'm always asking myself how the heck they got a prime location in Pikes Place Market and how they thrive there, but they must be doing something right cause I'm sure the rent is not cheap. There must be a lot of purple aficionados out there which is crazy. The store is a delightful haven for purple enthusiasts. Whether you're a fan of lavender, violet, or plum, this store has you covered with thousands of purple items. From clothing and household goods to school supplies and seasonal treasures, they've curated a vibrant collection that celebrates the regal color. The store is a purple paradise! If you're exploring Pike Place Market, make sure to swing by and immerse yourself in the world of purple. The employees were extremely nice too!

We had a few hours to kill before getting on cruise at Pier 66. We wanted to go to Pike's Market and this place will hold ur luggage for a reasonable fee, we had 6 pieces. Pier 66 is about a mile away. Customer Service Amazing. U could walk in and they take ur luggage. If u book it online there is an extra fee. Being a King's fan this is a cool place to buy purple stuff. Additionally it is half a block from Pike's. What a find.

One of my favorite places in Seattle as a purple-obsessed person. They have a wide range of items for people of many different demographics, interests, and lifestyles. The staff are always super friendly, and you can tell they really enjoy working there. My only issue is that the items are sometimes expensive and are of average quality, but overall this is a must-visit for anyone whose favorite color is purple (or for anyone who knows someone whose favorite color is purple!) I visit this store every time I'm in Seattle.

Closed on Tuesdays

I would have had a blast if the store is open. Sad. They are closed just when I am in the area. Parking in front is allowed for an hour and there are available parking lots in the area if you don't mind the walk. I would definitely check this out next time. Everything they sell in the store is my fave color - Purple. Yay!!! My SO gifted me a throw blanket. It is plush and soft. The blanket comes with me most of the time.

This store had a cool vibe and the employees were so helpful. They had everything purple you could want.

good service, great selection of items (i'm talking literally anything you can think of that's not food (and they have drinks) and turning it purple), and prices were so reasonable it was crazy - especially for seattle prices from what I've seen so far as a tourist. and they have a website! only complaint is they aren't closer to my home

Wow! Just wow! As the owner of a purple Jeep, I had no idea there was such a place. HOW DID I GET BY FIRE SO LONG? My people! In the store, they sell nothing but things that are purple. If you have someone on your list who loves the color purple, you will find many gifts to choose from. I've posted several pictures below. They have everything from apparel to accessories to Christmas ornaments, pet paraphernalia, bumper stickers... You name it! Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Masks are required, yes, even in September 2022, but they provide them if you need one. THANK YOU, Purple Store for found this!) And if you think you don't need one, just get over it for a few minutes and wear it. It's amazing and totally worth the stop ! HIGHEST recommendation!

It is exactly what it says it is. Located close to Pike market if you are a fellow purple number then you will have fun here. I was amazed with the variety of items that they have in purple. Clothing, jewelry, housewares, pet supplies commas glasses, it's endless. Pricing was decent and the person who helped me was friendly and informative. Definitely worth a stop.

What? A purple store?! Had to check it out! Everything and I mean everything is purple! I have friend and relatives that love purple! Customer service was awesome, everyone so friendly. We bought a bottle of Huckleberry juice that was oh so sweet!

Dark purple is one of my least favorite colors so I didn't buy any clothes, however I got some grape soda by the register and a square of berry chocolate for 79¢. Both were good! They have nice clean bathrooms in here and were free for customers to use. There's also an adult only display section at the back if you lift the curtain which gave us a laugh. There's clothes, jewelry, home decor, pet accessories, and everything else purple here. Very friendly staff as well!

We accidentally stumbled upon this store on our way to check out Pikes Market. I'm so so so glad we did. Yes, its true!!! Everything is purple and its fabulous!!! My favorite color is green but purple is a close second (thanks BTS). The staff are really nice and you can tell enjoy working there. They have everything ...and its purple. I got some nice gloves and socks. Found a mug that said "I purple you" for my BTS ARMY friend...and other nice nicnaks. All fun aside, its a beautiful store and the employees are just a delight. Wheterh you are a former Donny Osmond fan or Minnesota Viking or BTS ARMY, please check them out!

It's similar to a vinyl record shop where everything is in bins and you shift through them to see what's available. I love movies and found a number of movie posters in different sizes and from different eras. Classics that I grew up with and classics my grandparents grew up with. Really cool! My other half found a number of old maps. Maps where parts of the world hadn't been discovered at the time. They also have old pictures of famous landmarks. I ended up buying an old picture of Pikes Place. Very interesting place. If you're looking for a unique way to decorate or something for a collection, I'd give this place a look.

Some things were cheap some were a little more pricey just depends on what you're comfortable spending. A lot of things to choose from all very unique and vintage I love it! But as for custom service the man running the place (I'm assuming) was not rude he just didn't say anything I was like "hi" I said thank you and was trying to be friendly but he was very quiet and almost tuning me out in a way. Other than that you should check this place out if your looking for nice vintage posters, cards and other artwork

Pro-tip for first-timers: if you're confused about how to get in, just press the button next to the door! The friendly staff will buzz you right in. ​Once inside, I was completely blown away by how beautifully the shop is curated. The front features gorgeous color-coded displays in vibrant greens, pinks, and yellows. As you wander deeper into the store, it's like a treasure trove filled with high-quality wines, perfumes, artisanal soaps, gourmet treats, and incredibly tasteful home decor and novelties. ​This is the ultimate spot to pick up a little self-care treat or find a unique, thoughtful gift for someone special. Yes, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but given the exceptional quality and uniqueness of everything they carry, the satisfaction level is 100% there. Such a gem with a wonderful aesthetic!

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the wonderful staff. The store is a dream, everything is thoughtfully color-coordinated, making it a feast for the eyes. There's truly something for everyone, and it's the perfect one-stop shop for creating a thoughtful gift basket. I could have easily spent hours browsing the unique selection, but my husband was eager to get to our next destination. We were visiting from out of town the first time we stopped in, but now it is a go to spot, even if it's just to check out what they have put out recently! If you're in Seattle, this store is an absolute must-visit!

It is truly a special kind of retail purgatory when you just want to browse a few paperbacks and…read moresuddenly you're being pitched a sectional with performance fabric. The "hovering" technique is the fastest way to turn a potential sale into a "I'm leaving right now" situation. There is a massive psychological gap between "I am here if you need me" and "I am essentially your shadow." The Desperation: You can see them mentally checking boxes on a manager's "Engagement Checklist." * The Disconnect: They aren't reading the room; they're reading the script. * The Result: A customer who feels hunted rather than helped. Retailers often think that "High Touch" service equals "Constant Contact," but most modern shoppers view their time in a store as a solo mission. We want the associate to be like a GPS: silent and out of the way until we actually take a wrong turn or need a specific destination. When an associate is practically tethered to you, it removes the "discovery" element of shopping. You stop looking at the products because you're too busy trying to figure out how to politely lose your tail And out of all that, I still didn't buy the book as i was focused on writing this review. Damn. This is why we shop on Amazon.
