This one is conveniently located to me and was frequently visited right after I moved here. It's very hard, almost impossible, to see from Strickland Road. It's behind the Cook Out restaurant, between Food Lion and Home Depot. BB&B has more than bed and bath stuff - nearly anything you could want for your bedroom, bathroom or kitchen can be found here. Other items are available like iHomes for your iPods, picture frames, wall art, patio furniture, humidifiers, fans and even some As Seen On TV gadgets. Most of them time, particularly with the kitchen section, it can be nearly impossible to figure out where you might find something -- items aren't always where you'd think they'd be. BB&B has a Wedding Registry also. The prices are fairly high though; I rarely visit BB&B without one of their 20% off coupons which arrive in the mail every so often. I've been looking for a while for a replacement filter for my humidifier I bought from them with no luck. This past weekend I was on the hunt for some deep dish stoneware, also with no luck. I recommend visiting here -- with the coupon. Otherwise, try another store where you'll get more bang for your buck.

I enjoyed walking through the shop, but found it a bit pricy even compared to other boutiques. The clothes do seem to be good quality and Ritas offers a good variety. Plus there is a sale rack in the back. The employee working the counter was a little brash, but I believe it was her way of welcoming us to the shop. Overall, nice shop to check out if looking for a gift for yourself or someone else.

Three of us gals of varying ages all bought items on sale. It might appear to be a small store from the outside. (It's in Brennan Station on Creedmoor Road. In between the awesome pedicure place and the cool bottle shop.), but it's full of what you can tell are carefully selected things that Gals want. It's obvious Rita knows what she's doing. We were told items change frequently, so definitely a place for frequent stop-ins!

Homewood Nursery & Garden Center is located in North Raleigh. It is much larger than it appears…read morefrom the road, and there is a lot of parking. I was surprised by how fast it had filled up by the time I left. I was at Homewood Nursery for a succulent workshop. It was held in one of the greenhouses. It was my first time at the nursery, so I was a little surprised by the size. I think I heard the property was over 30 acres, and the greenhouses cover four acres. Besides the greenhouses, you will find indoor plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, soils, fertilizers, and an area for gifts, too. So they have a large selection of products. If you are looking for a unique plant, you will find it here. The staff I interacted with was friendly and helpful. I am glad I found a new option for finding spring flowers and replacing my shrubs at some point.

Prices are not rock bottom but the abundant choices and variety make it a must go. Hanging baskets are $30 and up. Annual 4 pks start at $3. Staff is helpful and know their stuff. If you take your pup, keep an eye out for the resident kitty.

Just wanted to take the time to clap for the staff here…read more I've only been here twice now. But both times the service was SO fast. I came here on a week day and it was packed but the kitchen seemed steady. Their service is very stream lined with pagers for food orders. There is a lot of seating but it also seems to be a place where a good chunk of people come to work. They have a library inside as well and the books at the time were all $3 ea. Today I came and it's a Sunday. As expected they were SLAMMED. Line to the door of people waiting and line to the door of people ordering. I still got my coffee in less than 5 min. People waiting on food were getting theirs in similar time. The staff was killing it! They have a large selection of baked goods (lots of laminated dough), fast casual breakfast & lunch, and a huge coffee menu. They also have gluten free options for food and about a dozen gf/df baked goods. They said they have separate prep space and changed gloves for gluten free food but it's a shared oven. I didn't have any issues though. To who ever is managing your kitchen and staff, you're doing a great job. To the staff, hats off Highly recommend this place for a light breakfast and good coffee, or just a good place to hang out on your laptop.

There were multiple rooms, all nicely decorated. Most focused on furniture, women's apparel, and gifts. Some rooms with products from other boutiques, one with bird baths and seed, and another with sale items. The employees seem to all be good friends and enjoy their job, which is refreshing to see. They host events, for instance, Christmas tree decorating. I think we arrived just after an event since they had drinks and snacks out. Overall, we enjoyed walking through this shop and recommend it to others!

While they…read moredo have a couple of chairs and couch pieces, this place is more so for little knick knacks to place around the house.

I had a pleasant shopping experience with Michelle at the Falls of Neuse location. Once I told her…read morewhat I was looking for, she went the extra mile to check inventory and delivery dates for items that they did not have in stock. Michelle also took the time to explain how COVID has affected the supply and demand of their inventory. I eventually purchased a display model at a great discount which was still covered under the manufacturer's warranty. If we need any more new furniture, I would definitely consider this La-Z-Boy location first.

As proud owner of a vintage 2003 La Z Boy double recliner couch now badly worn and ready for…read morereplacement we thought La Z Boy would be the place to go for something fresh and different. The boss picked out a small two seat sofa in fabric and waited eagerly for delivery. She had bonded with the sales lady who struck me as extremely diligent and competent. The two of them went through the endless details of fabric color, warranty options, care, maintenance ad exhausteaum. $1500 dollars USD. On delivery day two equally diligent delivery guys appeared and knowledgeably disassembled the back of our current oversized 70 inch something long and 37 inch tall blue leather couch and easily carried the sections out into the carport through the standard 32 inch den door as was the custom with generation 2003 La Z Boy recliner couches. They brought the new more petite couch off the truck. The time was 6 0' clock(ish). The sun had set and darkness surrounded us as we stood under the one harsh LED carport light. They had one more delivery to go. The couch was carefully wrapped and protected. Boom. Surprise! The. Couch. Was. Too. Big! Too tall to pass through the door vertically and too wide to pass through the door horizontally the Generation 2018 couch could not be delivered to the SAME ROOM AND through the SAME DOOR FROM WHICH GENERATION 2003 couch had just been removed. Yes, in the era of flat pack IKEA everything the brainiacs at LA Z Boy designed a piece of furniture which would not fit through a large percentage of residential American doorways. Way to go! Make America Ridiculous Again. We took the main door off the hinges. There was some discussion about disassembling the storm door. (I vetoed that as absurd and no guarantor of success.) We checked and measured all the other doors and access paths. No Joy. So after 30- 40 minutes the guys marked the ticket as inaccessible and put the offending $1500 couch back on the truck. They generously took the time to return generation 2003 couch and reassembled the back. (We tipped them for service above and beyond.) Day 2. I was furious. The competent sales lady at Falls Of the Neuse Gallery reminded us the contract we signed had probably been written by the same Law Firm who designed the original ironclad Time Share Condominium Contract. 1. We could accept delivery. OR 2. They could take back the couch and charge a $700.00 restock fee and give us a $700.00 in-store credit for some other (equally badly designed) furniture in return for our $1500.00 payment. Pardon me if this does not sound like bait and switch by another name. No love from any of the nationally available La Z Boy phone numbers. They either do not answer their phones after 3-5-7 minutes of the worst elevator music possible or like the HR secretary at the factory in Arkansas who made the mistake of picking up her extension and talking to an irate customer from North Carolina for yes, 7 minutes with no sensible resolution you will find no relief from this formally great American Company. Bottom line: Avoid at all cost. Brace for a flood of unemployed furniture employees bemoaning their fate on the evening news. Anybody want to buy a couch? Brand new. Fire sale price negotiable. Update 12/06/18: A different crew delivered the couch the second time and in order to avoid any more confusion we had them come through the standard size 36 inch wide x 80 inch tall front door for storage in the living room. In full day light I was intrigued to see under the plastic a thick foam pad over one of the arms (not both) which actually got slightly caught on the BIGGER door frame. The delivery guys forced the couch through with little trouble and removed the plastic, cardboard and foam,attached the four legs and left all in about 20 minutes. A few days later when I had the house to myself and away from the sound and fury of conflicting advice, theories and nonsensical ideas I carefully examined the couch, the two 30 inch wide doorways between the living room and den and determined there was a possibility I could slide the couch into the proper pride of place in the den. And so I did,by myself, with some difficulty, but virtually no drama relocate our brand new couch. The boss was extraordinarily pleased and surprised when she returned home. Gooooooaaaaallll!. I know not what to make of this little saga beyond the hundreds of new gray hairs I now possess. All the people we interacted with seemed competent, had good equipment, were prepared for the work and yet, somehow were unable to complete the appointed task. I am pretty sure if we had removed the plastic and foam in the carport on the first day the couch would have gone through the original door. But I understand the guys did not want to run the risk of damage to a unprotected couch. Since we only buy big ticket items once in a blue moon a repeat of this circus is unlikely for some time. So everyone just be careful and be well.

Pros: Great place to…read morefind treasure. They restock pretty often and it doesn't *seem* like they are screening the donations and running an Ebay store out of the back. The store is usually clean and organized (for a thrift store). The prices are usually very consistent and they don't seem to try and charge antique store prices for some of the nicer stuff that comes through. They get it. You move volume -- you don't run off your customers with stale inventory and a back shelf full of high dollar items that sit there for months until they get marked down to a reasonable number. Cons: The music. They play a very limited selection of "Christian" music that is usually just pop-music ripoffs with the redundant lyrics. The staff can *sometimes* be hard to tolerate. I do understand that they put up with A LOT of crazy, but I've had to overhear some pretty borderline racist things about "immigrants" over the last couple of years. Remember ladies, when you're preaching to the choir outside of of the congregation, some people might not appreciate overhearing you recite some of your conservative media talking points. All-in-all, it's a great thrift store, and since most of them are now Ebay stores that sell the junk they can't get bids for, it's one of the few left around. I recommend you not talk to ANYONE, or try to make eye contact with ANYONE. There are a lot of very "eccentric" people who are either trying to spew crazy or convert you.

Just a great selection of things that are unique and the gentleman helping me knew about multiple bottles he showed me. Certainly go in and have a conversation with them and you may come out with something new you really enjoy!
