I'm not sure how it is possible how I haven't rated the velvet mill yet when it's literally my…read moresmall business Saturday tradition to come here with my friends and spend at least 4-6 hours shopping and eating here. Some of the best local shops in the state are located here, and I think it's one of the best kept hidden gems in the state for sure (and now everyone knows so be sure to go to help support). It's one of those IYKYK spots I feel like. There's something for everyone here, and I love how they've turned this into the spot it is.

It is dog friendly & has several public restrooms. The pizza & bakery are my 2 FAVORITES!

It's appropriately named because when you enter the store there are many treasures: clothing, linens, kitchen items, cards, and lots more. Need a gift? This is the place to find it. Most items come from closeouts and samples and you will find that they are designer and popular name brands. The owner and staff are very welcoming and helpful. It might be your first time in but wont be your last!

Generally I have to shop in the kids section or wear flip flops. They have a large assortment of beauty items and bathroom stuff. I discovered ala Maison hand soap here and it's now my favorite. More than half the price than their website or Amazon! Home goods department has lots of great finds. Always my first stop when I need to get a hostess gift. My only complaint is that the men's section is a bit lacking. Hardly any shorts or pants. Tons of shirts and grooming supplies. Checking out is always fast. Can never resist the items along the check out line!

The prices are pretty good, but in this huge warehouse, be prepared to find everything yourself,…read moresince there are almost no employees to assist you on the floor. Check out times are very long here as well...at least they were before they installed self-checkouts, which i refuse to patronize because they put people out of work. I did, however, hear of a proposed bill to require one human employee for every self-checkout in the store, which kind of makes sense to me!

In all honesty, I find the selection of food slightly thinner here than at a big name grocery store. But when I find something, it's always cheaper here. I'll usually get my snack chips or frozen food here. For example, I can get bags of Totino's Pizza Rolls here for $12. They're $18 at Shaw's. I know that sounds silly, but you haven't lived until you've tried deep-fried pizza rolls at 1 AM for a post-drinking snack.
