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!

I've purchased several Barbara Gerwit beach cover-ups at great prices! The main store is located on Cutler St where there is a small parking lot and on-street parking. They have another store on Water St. in quaint Stonington Borough. A great place to visit!

I bought my Giant bike at Ray Willis's many years ago. One of the best "investments" of my life!…read moreIt's become a huge part of my life, and I've had the pleasure of Ray Willis/Remy's taking care of it ever since. It gets periodic and professional tune ups, and they're always a pleasure to deal with. Always a pleasant exchange. This is the exceptional part. I have a friend who is homeless, and I found a "beater bike" to give to him. I brought it to Remy's, and we all decided it was too far gone to resurrect. The guys looked at each other, smiled, and one of them went in the back and wheeled out a pretty decent bike that was made serviceable rather easily. They gave this to me for my homeless friend! He loved it, jumped right on it with a huge smile on his face, and I know we helped Improve the quality of life for someone down on their luck. This is the kind of people that you deal with at Remy's! That means a lot to me. I'm glad to be their customer.

5 stars! Ray Willis may be the best & most reasonably priced toy store in the area…read more The outside decor & interior may not be fancy but they have an awesome selection of toys. This past Christmas season I spent a lotta cash here & next year they will be my first stop when I get my son's list. They carry Melissa & Doug, Playmobil and Legos all at low prices. Most of their offerings are geared towards younger boys, nothing really for babies but they have a large selection of stuffed animals & some girl stuff. They also have a lotta cool little knick knack toys too like silly putty & cap guns. I found quite a bit of stuff for my son's stocking here.

What's not to love about TJ Maxx. It was packed on Black Friday weekend, but I was able to find a…read moregood selection of men's grooming items that I was looking for. The weekend after Thanksgiving still seems to be very busy for shoppers, even though I know many people made their purchases online. This store handled the crowds very well with lots of cashiers.

I love this location. Everything is easy to find and neatly sorted…read more I have gotten some awesome pairs of shoes here and it's hard to find anything nice for my tiny tiny feet. 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!

Cheap prices on most things. Why pay $4 for a shower cap? Most things like that are $1 here. The…read moreflip type hair clips go for about $4 for goody brand. $1 here. They have ice pops sold individually and I meant to buy one on the way out for my 2 year old but a balloon on a stick caught his eye. There are some things I got from here that I wasn't happy with. Like refrigerator magnets ... that are so weak they don't even stick to the fridge (they have coffee cups design), pine cleaner that was kind of watered down... I'll stick to pinesol. And I bought over the door hook hangers .. I was thrilled to pay 1/2 price from Walmart but when I got home I figured out why .. the metal that hangs down from the door is so short.. so this is a problem for all 4'10'' of me... where can I get those gogo gadget arms? I put them in my kids rooms .. they can reach it better than me.

Every time I go in there the employees are sure to greet me. It doesn't give me a big head, they do it to everyone which is a nice touch. I've never seen it too crowded & there's never less than 2 people working at once. I purchase mostly household stuff here (toilet paper, toothpaste, garbage bags etc.) simply because it's a lot easier to get in & out of here than Wal Mart or a grocery store. The prices are on the lower end too.

It's a surprisingly sizable store that extends to the back with a couple of dressing rooms. The dressing room has pretty pink drapes for doors giving it a luxurious look. I ended up buying only a makeup bag here and my gf bought a few things. Overall Service: There was two staff working here at the time, we were welcomed in with a warm greeting. They were not gossiping while customers were present and assisted people when approached. I would totally come back here again with my gfs!

We were greeted by 2 sales girls right away who were happy to assist me. They did have a good selection of sweaters and also some hoodies. Definitely had some cute clothes, which I was ignoring since I really just wanted a jacket. They had a clearance rack; one of the items on it that I tried on had a hole in it. Found a really cute cream colored denim jacket right away that I tried on in their dressing rooms and it fit great. The jacket was a little pricey, however I really like it.

Reale's may be under new ownership, but let me tell you--this Westerly institution hasn't lost an…read moreounce of the authentic, old‑school magic that's kept locals loyal for generations. Walking in still feels like stepping into a slice of neighborhood history, the kind of place where the walls could probably tell a few stories and every regular has a favorite order. And the grinders? Still absolute classics. Somehow they've managed to preserve that 100‑year flavor profile--hearty, perfectly layered, and packed with the kind of seasoning and balance that only comes from decades of doing it right. It's comfort food with character, the kind of grinder that reminds you why these small markets matter. The new ownership seems committed to honoring what made Reale's special while giving it just enough polish to keep things running smoothly. Service is friendly, quick, and familiar in that "we've known you forever" kind of way. Why not five stars? Mostly because transitions always come with a little room to grow--tightening up consistency during busy hours, maybe expanding a few offerings--but honestly they're well on their way. The heart of Reale's is still beating strong, and the grinders alone are worth the stop. A true local staple that's managed to keep its soul intact. Four stars and a big nod of appreciation for keeping the tradition alive. Cheers

A treasure hunt with charm and value…read more Penny Wise Consignment is one of those places where you walk in "just to browse" and somehow leave with a bag full of finds you didn't know you needed. The shop is well‑organized without losing that fun, treasure‑hunt energy that makes consignment shopping so addictive. Clothing, accessories, home goods--everything feels curated enough to be worth your time, but still priced like a true local gem. What really sets Penny Wise apart is the staff. They're friendly, patient, and genuinely invested in helping you find something that fits your style or your home. There's a sense of loyalty and community here--you can tell regulars come back not just for the deals, but for the people. Inventory rotates often, which keeps things fresh, though it also means you've got to be quick if you spot something great. A little more space or updated displays would push this place into five‑star territory, but honestly, the charm is part of the appeal. If you love good value, unique pieces, and a shop that feels like it's run with heart, Penny Wise is absolutely worth the stop. Enjoy
