    First let me say this store has only recently opened and I have visited twice. To say it is high…read moreend is an understatement. I found one of the softest shirts I have ever felt, but nothing particularly different in design, and it was over $200. So needless to say I did more looking than buying. From the moment you walk in this store there is so much to see, and it is filled with very unique home decor items, local items, exclusive infant wear and gifts, the afore mentioned exclusive clothing and then other almost obscure items like these really cool looking toddler convertible scooters for $130. I am still thinking about buying one for my granddaughter, but haven't taken the plunge. There are 2 pink Christmas trees filled with totally whimsical felted ornaments, everything from jelly fish to mice on skis. There was seasonal home decor for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Items for children like coloring placemats are sold along with fancy platters and tableware. Local items like a $69 large cream color pillow had all the Jersey Shore beaches listed in a black ink font. Very nice for a local beach house or to have as a memory of the best beaches on the east coast. I was impressed with the number of people working in there, all of whom seemed knowledgeable about the merchandise. One person immediately came to demonstrate the cool scooter when I expressed interest. I think if you are visiting with plenty of money, a desire for something different, or a fairly high credit limit you may find yourself happily leaving the store with a large ride on stuffed unicorn, or a hand knit maxi dress that your grandmother used to knit overnight but is now super cool. I think the entire store is super cool, even if it is mostly out of my price range.

    I would say if you want a very nice Wildwood, down at the beach, souvenir--whether for yourself or…read moreothers--this is the place you want to go. SELECTION I think it had such a great selection of items, and the first store that I found that had Wildwood NJ stickers. I liked to scrapbook, and I always like to have a sticker from the place I was at. If you like that type of thing, this place has so many to choose from! They also in general just have many different nicknacks of your choice! The only thing I wish they had had was a better souvenir for something with names on them. I wanted to get something for my boyfriend with his name on it, but couldn't find anything I liked. The ones they had was a bottle with sand, and like that's just not the vibe. Seeing as the seagull is the Wildwood NJ mascot, I would have loved to see something done with that! Something a little more unique and fun, if you ask me. ATMOSPHERE This place was a vibe! It really stood out to me on the boardwalk, especially at night! I'm so glad I walked in because I felt like a kid in a candy store. Everything was so well lit and well organized. It really felt like I could be inside for a very long time. Very cozy! OVERALL Definitely should be your go to for souvenirs or even if you want to have more of a beach aesthetic home decor. They definitely have you covered for that! A tiny shop but enough room for everyone to get around. The cashier was very kind!

    One of the nicest, most well organized stores for souvenirs on the boardwalk. No obnoxious music…read moreor trashy clothing. Everything is south Jersey beach themed and reasonably priced. They have some duplicates of other stores at significantly less the price, despite looking like it would be costlier. Service is excellent and friendly.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Expensive beyond reason, dishonest and incredibly rude…read more My experience: 1) Fluctuating pricing 2) Misrepresentation of availability and service 3) Extraordinarily rude management when they refused to deliver on their promises. The backstory: We went to the store in Mid July to schedule shrink wrap service right after Labor Day. Was assured it would be no problem but would need to call after 8/19 to schedule. We even looked at a calendar upstairs and the store associate assured me an appointment would be easy to get because most folks don't schedule until late September or October. This was a great reassurance as we need to leave right after Labor Day for back-to-school. After an onsite consultation where I tipped the guys $20 each on a hot day, I was told by the store the estimate I received was not necessarily accurate and they would not have pricing for a few weeks. Today, 8/20, I called to schedule the service and hear final price. The owner, Scott Fisher, was incredibly rude and told me they could not possibly get to me until after we leave the area for the summer. This was a date which we indicated at the beginning of the process. His reasoning was they have a sidewalk sale the weekend before. Also something they would have known about when we made the initial inquiry. Adding insult to injury, Mr. Fisher was constantly talking over me in a condescending manner and would not let me finish my sentence. I strongly suspect he would not have taken the same tone had it been my husband calling. His behavior was so appalling that I hung up the phone. I'm in shock at how this man would communicate to a long-time customer. Sincerely recommend True Value in CMCH as a more affordable and much more pleasant option.

    I visited Lomax in Mays Landing on Sunday, 7/24 to look at replacing my hardwoods floors in home I…read morerecently purchased. During my visit, I spoke with a salesman about flooring options and next steps if I wanted to go with one of the tile flooring options. I was told I needed to set-up an appointment with Dave, the contractor for a measurements + an estimate. I am really not a fan of businesses that like to farm out their contracting to outside parties because things never seem to go smoothly when the company isn't involved in the entire process. I received a call from Dave, on Monday 7/25 at 4:12 pm. He asked if he could swing by. I explained that the home we recently purchased is an hour away from where we live currently and I wasn't in the area. I was over an hour away at my other home. I asked Dave if we could set up an appointment for Thursday. Dave said we could. I received a call from Dave on Thursday at 11:58 pm. He told me he had just wrapped up a job and he was available for the rest of the day. I asked if 2 pm was good. He told me 2 pm wouldn't work. At this point, I am thinking I have to be on candid camera because he just told me he was available, but when I mentioned a time, the time didn't work. So, I told Dave I would be available the next day, which was Friday between 2:30-4:00 pm. When did Dave call?? 5:45 pm on Friday. Needless to say, I visited Lomax today to obtain a refund for services not rendered. I don't think Lomax is a bad place to buy flooring from. However, I do believe that they are losing customers and business because of their contractors lack of professionalism

    I stopped by Lomax today to see some tile and carpet options.

Pat knew this, and knew I couldn't source through him, but was extremely helpful and knowledgeable showing me around the store. He helped educate me on the differences between the options I've already selected, helped order me samples to see the difference in shades, and helped explain that Lomax is the price leader and will match competitors up to 150% with free install over a certain sq footage.... I think that was the right number? He even explained that lots of new construction owners will go with standard included options and hire Lomax to rip out and install superior products cheaper than what the builder would have charged. Really impressed with his level of support, and plan to follow up to put flooring in our unfinished spaces.
