With this writing (2/21/2020) I'm told the store in North Olmsted is closing. I went into the Canton store and from the outside it appeared closed, someone entered so, yes, it was actually opened.
Upon entering I couldn't help but notice the center of the store, normally full of neat furniture and other larger items, was nearly empty with a some shelving for sale & area rugs. They do have extensive greeting cards, candles, soaps and other sundry items along the right side and baskets toward the back. They still have some nice selections of foods & snack items but that seems depleted as well.
I couldn't help but notice the wine selection, although plentiful, has drawn down as well. Many of the free standing racks were gone and some varietals and brands they once carried were missing.
Moving along the left side of the store, back to front the glassware & dishes section were also reduced in size. Much of the glassware I once purchase was gone, a wider selection of dinnerware was also not available. Cookware too was very limited. Unless I was missing something they didn't have any woks or the related wooden utensils but did offer the bright colored plastic variety.
My wife and I spent close to one hour looking around but left empty handed as nothing interested us. This was a first. I doubt we'll be returning. In their defense, online shopping like Amazon has most likely taken its toll on World Market. read more
