The new location is beautiful. Situated on the corner of South Colony and Quinnipiac Street, you'll find free parking behind the building. In the same parking lot, you will find the Azteca Bakery and the Six One Nine Supper Club, a market and Taqueria. The store has a mix of vintage, handmade, new and used items. The prices were definitely on point. I was very pleased with the prices of the handmade items that we purchased. My son and I found a Father's Day gift and a birthday gift for my mother. There was plenty there for me, but Jacob was ready to go home after a long morning of gallivanting. I'm looking forward to my next trip and trying to figure out how I can make it to the grand opening this coming Thursday!

Why did it take us so long to visit? I suppose their limited hours (Tuesday to Friday) had a lot to do with it, but we did visit today and I'm very glad we did. Why? Well, here ya go... 1) Thompson Chocolates goes way back to 1879 and has been in Meriden since Day One. They are one of the first chocolate companies in America. 2) The store is gorgeous and beautifully organized with colorful displays of chocolate bars, pops, bark, gift boxes, chocolate coins and cigars, and jellybeans. 3) We met the owner Jackie, who was one of the very nicest, friendliest, and generous business owners we've ever seen. 4) We walked into a BOGO sale of leftover Easter candies and scored a nice bag of Dark Easter Eggs and an Easter Goodie Bag for zippo 5) Jackie was super generous and tossed four gift bags of assorted chocolate into our shopping bag as freebies. 6) You get a 10% discount with your Yelp check in. 7) They have a 10% Senior Citizen discount on Wednesday and a military discount every day. 8) They have a mail order business through an on-line store. 9) We paid under $22 for a box of dark chocolate raspberry jellies, two Easter Goodie Bags, two bags of Easter Dark Chocolate Eggs, and four small mesh gift bags of assorted chocolates. One was white chocolate which will be a perfect treat for my granddaughter who won't eat milk or dark chocolate. I sure hope that gives you an idea of how great our visit to Thompson was.

They will put that $10 deposit to the art you created. There is a fair amount of parking when you arrive. There is also a bunch of other store near by the place. Walking in you are warmly greeted by the employee there. It was resin Sunday and Wendy was helping us with our art. They show us all the art pieces you can make and trust me it was a hard decision to pick one. I end up making a tray and my partner decided to go a faux stain glass. Once we picked the art piece we wanted to do. They sat us down and instructed us what to do. I painted a bit then place dry flowers on my tray. When then get to pour the resin on our art pieces. The employees were patience and encouraging with everyone. The resin does takes about 24 hours to harden. They provide to option to leave it there and pick it up next open business day. Which is great, as I was nervous put it in my car for the ride back home. I would come back to do more art. They have options to paint, a room to splat paint and more. Perfect for all ages just to have fun and make art.
