Merchants Square has been a favorite place of mine to shop, dine and recreate for decades. It has…read moreover 40 stores. Recently I had the opportunity to visit the square that's nestled between The College of William & Mary and Colonial Williamsburg. During Christmas is one of my favorite times to visit this area. It was hoping too! Crowds were beginning to arrive in Williamsburg for The Grand Illumination the next day. There was music, and a Christmas spirit in the cool crisp air. I visited a few shops that I had time for that were both favorites and new to me. The Cheese Shop for a snack. This shop has been a place I have frequented for decades, it's awesome and an independent run store like most others. I went to R. Bryant, a men's store. Lulu lemon, Danforth Pewter and a new shop Walkabout Outfitters which is a small chain. It replaced a very well known and established independent store I shopped since early 2000. If you're looking for a unique place to shop, eat and also take in a show at the Kimball Theater then Merchants is the place.

Sometimes in the past, they've limited the amount of people in the store and personally I really like that because it changes my shopping experience. I don't get easily agitated. The staff is pretty helpful and they move quite quick in the checkout line. Big bonus is that they are always willing to help and try and find a deal for you. Big bonus to the military discount. Really no problems other than the amount of times I'm asked if I am part of the Nike app. We were really knocked out of the park for our kids shoes here especially my teenage son . When you combined any deals off of their clearance and add military discount, we really get a good value.

The lines for entering and checking out are ridiculous. I'm simply here to make a return and have…read moreto wait in this winding maze. Staff roaming around asking ppl if they nike members with scanners but can't separate a checkout line from a return line. What's the purpose if starting the process via the app if you waiting 30+ minutes for lack of assistance. There should be a better system in place, this was a horrible experience. Get to the front guy calls next in line I let him know I have a return he says ok. Get to him and he can't complete my return because it was an online order, needless to say I'm moved to another register where I'm finally able to complete my return. Not a good experience at all.

The two people working the counters could not have been over 17. They needed help and the manager gave such an attitude for no reason and did not seem interested in helping them at all. She seemed very grumpy. Other comments: The prices on most things are very reasonable. Some others not so much. I've never been to an Ollie's that was good and clean. Half the store was nice and organized and the other half basically everything was just thrown on the shelves. That's it.

The store was well-lit and tidy, especially considering all the foot traffic in/out on a busy Saturday a couple weeks before Xmas and during the winter/farmer's market in merchant's square. It was a little hot inside. Staff was friendly and explained about not carrying plus size anymore. My friend found a few items she wanted and so did our other friend and myself (socks and a brooch for my mom). They were well stocked, even though some items didn't have all the available sizes. Lots of items were paired with other items that went with it or alternatives. It looked nice. Staff was even nice to the cranky guy "price matching" something he'd bought earlier and ended up returning and re-purchasing (it was outside their price match time frame).
