    Ruben's amazing, unchanged storefront.
    Marybeth B.

    This place is a must see if you're into untouched time capsules. This place is not a must see if you're actually looking to do some shopping. I honestly don't know how they stay in business. When my friend, her mom and I went in they told us they usually only have about two customers per day. I'm assuming this means two people just coming into the store, not two people actually purchasing things. I gave them 5 stars because it's really more like a museum. I don't think they've gotten any new merchandise in at least 20 years. I love it. I just feel guilty for not purchasing anything. Or paying admission.

    The best retail customer service in Augusta. Haven't had this standard of personal concierge care in quite some time.

    This mall has a Barnes & nobles attached to it that's one of the best ones I've been to! Their…read moreproduct diversity is impressive starting from their testing materials, toy, anime/manga, and just books in general compared to other locations I've been to. I stumbled here to check out some toys and came across the cherry blossom lego set. Couldn't find this in other stores and grabbed the last one. It was $140 and it was priced right at where other stores were carrying it for online. Spent the snowy weekend building it and it came out beautiful. Great decor piece for your home and I'll eventually hang it up. It's certainly fragile, so you'd want to avoid anything accidentally hitting the front. The staff there were friendly. I was browsing stuff while waiting to check out and the cashier asked if I was interested in any of the stuff I was looking at. I found it pretty thoughtful.

During this visit, my 14-year-old daughter needed to use the restroom. Upon exiting, my 14-year-old daughter was approached by security who accused her of smoking marijuana in the bathroom. My daughter called my wife, and when she arrived, my wife informed the security personnel that our daughter is only 14 and does not smoke at all. My wife then granted security permission to search and smell our daughter to prove that she could not have been the one smoking weed, which would have resolved the allegations immediately. However, instead of hearing my wife's words and conducting a proper investigation, the security staff insisted that my wife and family leave the mall, which was incredibly humiliating for them. After my family was unjustly removed, my wife called the police to document the incident. The two officers who responded stated that security should have simply used their sense of smell rather than making assumptions. This incident has left my daughter traumatized, having been falsely accused and unable to demonstrate that she neither smoked nor had any scent of marijuana on her. This was a deeply distressing experience for my family, and there needs to be accountability or compensation for the humiliation and trauma inflicted on my daughter. I request that these two individuals offer my daughter an apology for their error, or I will be compelled to pursue legal action, as this situation is entirely unacceptable

We picked up a couple of odds and ends and had hit Starbucks when one of us discovered they had some Harperiman Dolls. Oh my that was so exciting to see because it's a collection. As we continued to browse the toy section we started scanning toys on the store scanner and the app scanner. Cha Ching!!! Major clearance. No one was in the aisle when we first started discovering the super low prices but soon enough others started gathering in the same aisle. We had so much fun clearance shopping in this store. It was neat, clean and the shelves were not junky. It was definitely a good time.

In the woman clothing section... clothes were everywhere and very unorganized. The product section for facial products were scattered in the wrong places and not neat at all. Overall the store has fallen short and was not kept up like it should be. Staff at registers were running in full capacity, yet the attention on the floor was very poor and unkept . Will not be going back to Target again in Augusta.

    Stein Mart is a small department store that sells clothing, shoes, accessories, some luggage, and…read morehousewares. I find that the selections cater towards women more for sure. The men's shoe selection is a small corner of the massive section that's dedicated to shoes. I find that the women's clothing caters towards the over 30 crowd. Maybe in the 35-60 age range. Think Evan Piccone, Chaus, Donna Ricco, etc. a few Michael Kors stuff scattered here and there. There are a lot of sales here, including coupons in the local paper, so be sure to check back often. There are some good shoes here, like Coach, Clarks, etc. The housewares are always fun to browse through. There's stationery and random decorative items for the house.

    I never really shop at Stein Mart because some of their things are expensive and matronly, but I…read morestopped in recently to look around with a friend. I was informed by another friend of mine that my former bff worked here and y'all know my pull up game is STRONG like E6000(if you didn't know now you know!!! So keep it cute!!!). So as we made our way inside the store we noticed the fragrances first. They have several great fragrances for ok prices. I fell in love with one body spray they carried. It was by Kenneth Cole and smelled amazing. Sweet and fruity, just how I like to smell!!! Next, we went into the accessories department. They have nice accessories by renown designers for really affordable prices. My friend picked up a few items in that section. It was a lot of merchandise to look through. We went to the men's department next. The style of clothing they sell for men was very preppy and my friend isn't quite preppy so he didn't really find any clothing he liked in that section. They had really nice underwear, t-shirts , and socks though. Those items would give any man confidence with their outer appearance, even though all those goodies would be tucked away underneath your clothing!!! We strolled over to the home goods section, which I didn't know they had there. They had a variety of things in that section. As we were checking out the merchandise, Lo and behold my former best friend walks right past us. Not knowing what to expect from her since we hadn't talked in over 5 years she greeted us with hugs and chatter. I don't know if she was being fake or was she actually glad to see us. Well we stopped shopping and held a conversation for a while. It was like we had never fell out. It was interesting because she was a person that got me. Like things I say or refer to she immediately understood what I was talking about. It actually felt good to chat with her. We talked a few minutes but her superior was telling her to go ahead and clock out, so that cut the reunion short. So we continued to look around the store more. I didn't even know they also sell bedding here as well. I like jersey knit sheets and I didn't see any here. The other materials in bedsheets tend to make me sweat and I HATE that, that's why I stick to jersey knit fabric. They also carry decent shoes here. I didn't see any bigger sizes but there was a nice selection. They even have some Gucci shoes here on clearance. They were very stately and modest, not our style at all. We also went into the lingerie section. My friend was looking for a waist shaper but they didn't have any. There was nothing exciting in the lingerie department. There was a lot of neutral colored undergarment and they were fashioned in a very demure way. My friend did find many things he liked and bought, mostly home knick knacks. This store is pretty decent for what they sell but it's for a much older and conservative crowd. Don't get me wrong you can find things that are youthful and modern but it will take some searching. I'm glad I was able to see my former bestie, maybe we can start on a new friendship!!!!

They were at Pop-Up's and special events around the area (and region). And now, they can be found across the region (including North and South Carolina). But what do they carry? Though personally they have handcrafted leather gifts, accessories, and jewelry they follow more the pattern of a boutique in that they have items from other small businesses. What kind of items, you ask? Candles, cosmetics, coasters, can coolers, (and to finish out the C's) clothing. The ambiance of the space alone is rejuvenating. The natural light pouring in through the front windows, the reflection off the lightly stained wood accents and pastel colors inhabiting the space, and the warm smile of every team member awaits you upon entrance. There are people/businesses we all find ourselves routing for. They've put in the work, they remained positive amidst challenges, and they have proven resilient despite adversities. And for Freshwater, in addition to that, they have opened a brick-and-mortar location even after all that 2020 brought their (our) way. I will champion them to anyone who asks (or doesn't). Stop in for a visit and I have no doubt you'll do the same.
