It is a surplus store so yes, there are some food items that are slightly expired. However, most of the time these items are still safe to use or consume. They have a variety of different things that you find they have been cleared out of inventory at box stores. Overall, if you go in with a lowered expectation, you'll actually have a fun shopping experience. For example, on my first visit, I found violin strings that were selling for two dollar a box when they normally run $20. Now I have enough violin strings that will last until they finish playing musical instruments.

The Find has a nice selection of baby and children's clothes. There are buckets of Jellycat stuff toys and lots of books and toys. The Find doesn't just cater to children; this place has something for everyone. There is usually a nice candles, jewelry, women's clothes, and mugs. I also like their selection of notebooks and pens. They have also had some really cute and functional face masks here during the height of the pandemic. I purchased a couple COIN 1804 masks from them and those turned out to be my favorite ones. The Find also stocks some Fort Wayne themed items like magnets that say "Fort Wayne: It's not that bad," and postcards with drawings of downtown. Regardless of the reason I visit The Find, I usually also end up purchasing greeting cards here too. They have some cute ones for every occasion.

Amazing deals, and fun place to check out and get some early Christmas shopping done. As in any store, you just need to know pricing on items, and what your looking for, especially nowadays. Overall, grateful I had a chance to stop by this past Saturday October 19, 2024. From toys, books, housewares, health & beauty, Christmas, Halloween seasonal, something for everyone. Be sure to check this place out, as locals know, its only open for a short period of time. So if your in from out of town visiting, like I was its worth the experience. Loved the kindness, helpfulness of all staff that I had the pleasure to speak with and ask questions. Interesting tip: The nice lady at the door, where you walk in, and provide you with a clean cart, and entry drawing mentioned; how Darlington does warehouse shopping throughout the year, prior to open this location.

You probably should read someone else's review if you want to know about the Vera Bradley Outlet…read moreSale. This is because I'm not the hugest fan of Vera Bradley products, and I feel like you need to be a huge fan in order to appreciate it. Also, this sale is isn't as sale-y as people think it is. It's kind of like shopping at Kohl's: Yes, the tag says you're saving 75%, but what does that mean, really? The price is always marked way up. But people like to feel like they're getting a bargain, and so these types of sales exist. I'll tell you what I do know, though, after visiting the sale. I think if you're OK not being the very first person there, you should visit the sale in the afternoon. Get there after the initial crush of people. This sale happens once a year, and it's extremely popular. But when I visited in the afternoon, I was able to walk right in without having to wait in line. It was rather pleasant! Not having to deal with people is always pleasant. And there was still a lot of stuff to choose from. I mean, there's a lot of Vera Bradley stuff. You will find bags and purses, luggage, clothing, home goods, kitchenware and even shoes. It's all Vera, all the time, all in a 100,000 square foot space. The people who work/volunteer at the sale are super friendly and enthusiastic, so there's definitely an energy about the sale. If you're into Vera Bradley, you definitely want to visit the sale, if only to see the wide variety of things available.

I have only been to this sale once, on the last day. So my review can only reflect that. I had a…read morepleasant experience with virtually no wait time to check out. Thurs and Fri you must pay $5 for a ticket and choose a specific time for your "session" to shop. Sat and Sun there is only 1 session for the day and no admission charge. Plus, on Sun they start marking items down (even lower). I shopped for 2 hours and had time to look at every item and then waited in line maybe 15 min or less. Everyone working there is very friendly and helpful. Check the newspaper the week before event for a coupon to use at checkout.

You could get anything from vacuum cleaners to home decor, toys, etc. Unfortunately, in the past few months, it has actually gotten significantly worse. I am not sure if they are about to go out of business, but most of the items in the store are holiday items from Halloween and Christmas. I miss the days where you could buy brand new toys for six dollars on the day they restocked. I also miss the old Manager lady who kept order. It's a good thing they don't have great stuff or else it would probably be chaos. I hope they turn things around, but it's not looking very promising at this time.

She was yelling at parents, demanding that our children be "attached to us" -- not a few feet away, not nearby -- attached. Her tone was hostile, rude, and incredibly inappropriate for a store that families frequent. The entire atmosphere felt tense and unwelcoming. To make matters worse, she was smoking right outside the entrance, forcing my 2-year-old and 6-year-old to walk through clouds of smoke. It was completely inconsiderate and avoidable. When I spoke with a cashier afterward, they admitted that she's a frequent complaint, which makes it even more disappointing that nothing has changed. This could be an amazing place to shop, but until management is addressed, I won't be returning -- and I won't recommend this location to other parents.
