This was not at all what I thought it was. I wasn't expecting a lot of christmas trees but I also wasn't expecting this to be a larger size of a dollar general. The store is huge and pretty organized for what it is. It has a little bit of everything. Not super cheap but not expensive either. I ended up buying something on sale. This isn't my go to store but it's nice to come to when you are trying to kill time. read more

What is Christmas, if not the realization that things are not right in the world, punctuated by the hope for things to be better? I think we're all suckers for Christmas as a cosmic ideal, as if one more ornament, one more strand of lights will fix our existential despair. CTS is a retail chain (about fifty stores in twenty states) specializing in seasonal decorative goods. We make a yearly stop in Greenville on the way to Maryland for Thanksgiving. By this time, all of the Christmas stuff is out and we get to peruse. We can be the lead character in our very own Hallmark movie! It's a big shop, with loads of stuff. Everything is organized into sections, you know, ornaments over here, trees over here, life-sized plush snowmen over there. We picked up some cheeky nutcrackers this time, a soccer player and a lady doing some yoga. Namaste! It's Scrooge's world these days, and we're all Tiny Tims. So grab that cute tchotchke and shout into the void a little. That's what I do, anyway. read more

You can find a ton of stuff there. Most you can get at other places not year round. We went in looking for a couple things. We asked they didn't carry them. That's ok cant have everything everyone wants. Went to the "checkout line" their is no one at ANY register except customer service. So after waiting 3 or 4 min I walk up to the guy and asked if he was check people out all he said was No. Then went back to the rigorous task of chewing gum and converting oxygen to Co2. So I said is anyone running a register. I grumpy old woman says yeah I am but I have a person in front of you and we are looking for a item. Ok so with 6 8 10 what ever amount of registers only one is open and only one person can use one, and even though she wasn't in the area I get yelled at for asking. I don't have to spend money there to get what I bought. No more for me. Merry Christmas Tree read more

I love this store! I was so close to passing it up because of the name it I'm so glad I didn't! Found some super cute coffee mugs that were VERY cheap. Cashier was an older gentleman that was very nice and made small conversation. I will be traveling an hour and half again in the future just so I can visit this store. read more

They now charge 10 cents a bag in Pembroke when you check out! Cashier didn't even ask if I wanted to pay for a paper bag, just added 2 bags to my order. I would never have known i was being charged for something I didn't agree to but for the fact that there were irate customers in the registers next to mine complaining abut the charge. I walked out of there like i was shopping at BJ'S Wholesale ... I won't be back... It's the unnecessary inconveniences that drive shoppers away. read more

Great store with a reasonable and diverse collection. Very polite staff. Their current collection is Christmas stuff and it's fun. read more

Christmas Tree Shops - Christmas Trees Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

KARMA! The last time I visited this store I was very disappointed to discover that it was not a Christmas store although it is Christmas Tree Shops. It was August and I had a one-track mind thinking that I was entering a mini Bronners, (year-round Christmas store). Later I wrote a review and I made a comment about false advertising but I did not mean that to be taken literally but more in jest. I later received a message from customer relations to simply explain the store. Okay, cool! It was actually appreciated although I was not harboring any evil thoughts at the time. Since the response was so kind and gracious, I had planned to revisit the store with an open mind and hopefully have a better experience. Weeks later, I received a message from a fellow Yelper regarding the review. She was very nice and simply wanted me to know more about the store and what it had to offer. So now I'm thinking "Did I kick a puppy?" I go back to read the review and I realize that my tone is a bit acerbic and if I did not know me, I might have thought that it was really serious and that the reviewer was an angry beast. That's when I edited the review to let reviewers know that there weren't any negative feelings and that it was not that serious. Although I did not kick a puppy, I obviously stepped on its tail and now I am back to make it better, (Woo, woo, woo, woo!). When I prepared to enter the store today, it was with an open mind and an understanding that this store is about more than just Christmas. So, I just want to see more of their inventory. I walk in and guess what I see? Christmas everywhere! Okay, this must be Karma because I am definitely not interested in anything for Christmas. I shop around for a while and purchase some snacks because I am really craving a little treat. I then discover the card section and decide to purchase a few. I really enjoy stocking up on greeting cards and having them available when I suddenly need to send one to a friend or loved one. They had a nice selection for every occasion. Check-out was polite and easy. All was well until Karma reared its ugly head. Those little cookies that I was dying to get into had fallen into the bottom of my cart and I did not notice them until I tried to park it. They had not been purchased so I had to just leave them behind. Ugggghhhh! Lesson learned: Be nice to the Christmas store! read more

This is a really unique store that is approximately the size of a large craft store. We bought our tree from here last month. During the non-Christmas season, they have a variety of items available for purchase. Would recommend visiting this store. read more

Pretty good prices and selection. :-) we enjoyed this store. Great staff and loved the autumn decor also.

I am finding Madelyn A's review funny. CTS is a New England chain with stores located from New England all the way to Florida. They are affiliated w Bed, Bath and Beyond not that they moved into a BB and B store. They are considered the bargain store for Bed Bath and Beyond. Most people that know the chain love it and the one in Greenville has a better stock than the one in Fayetteville or Augusta. Go to christmastreeshops.com to see how many locations there are read more

CTS Greenville! Thank you for a taste of New England in the South! It's the only place that I can find Polar Seltzer Water (wish that they had Polar Sodas too), Cape Code salad dressings and other familliar treats. Great deals on grocery goods, cookware and home goods. Come on down! read more

Lol it's funny to see people upset and yelling false advertising. But this huge place had everything for a pretty cheap price. You can find so many things that can be a Christmas gift really. Not really selling Christmas decorations but if your looking for a deal there are some here. read more

One question: why are you reading this review and not at The Christmas Tree Shops enjoying yourself right now? If you are like the mass populous and assume this is just a glorified Christmas shop year around you are in for a delightful surprise when you discover that it is a better version of the larger chain that owns it, Bed, Bath and Beyond. I frequently go just to see what they may have and always leave buying something because it is too good of a deal to pass up. Just do us both a favor, go there, be amazed at all the deals and tell your friends! read more

I moved to Anderson, SC 7 years ago from Framingham, MA. Need I say more? I shopped at CTS for 18 years when I lived there and still do when I go back for visits. I've been in almost all of them in New England at one time or another. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see CTS come to Greenville. A family on Cape Cod started them years ago and then a few years back, they sold out to BB&B. The ones in New England are much, much larger and carry a much larger variety of things that are not available here--lots more decorative items. But since I now live in the south, I will take what I can get. My only complaint is that I wish the space now used for items that are also sold in BB&B which is everywhere, be utilized for more of the inventory that's available in New England because those stores have some really unique things that you can't find here. But all in all, this is such a fun store to shop in and the prices are great!!! There is something for everyone! read more
