A nice strip mall in the Franklin-Colonial neighborhood of Roanoke. I was here for a shop this is…read moreno longer (and I've reported it to Yelp). The shopping center is clean and in good condition. Parking lot is well paved and marked. Aisles are wide enough and there was no trash. It was easy to navigate and there is a traffic light for entering and exiting from Colonial Avenue. I liked the "Exit" sign which did make it a little easier to determine which was the correct aisle. The center is anchored by a Kroger supermarket. There is a variety of restaurants, fitness center, retail, professional and medical shops.

My best friend in high school lived nearby for a decade so we spent A LOT of time here - eating, shopping, walking around in Kroger, you name it - teenagers who can't drive or get bored will do whatever. Lately I know there are additions since I moved away a decade ago - like Petco, Wildflour Café, Bubblecake, a BBQ joint, etc. I stopped in yesterday to get cupcakes for my husband at Bubblecake and went inside the mall and downstairs to use the restroom - I was impressed. It has clearly been updated recently and looks pristine and new, the bathrooms were well-kept and clean and the hallway was bright and airy with white paint, new light fixtures, and tons of bright light from outside via large windows. On the way back upstairs I saw the Hippie store and the newer Upcycled Gifts and poked my head inside to look at all the hand-made items by the friendly owner who greeted me warmly as I browsed. It actually made me want to spend a little more time at this mall --- sadly I had a 4 hour drive home - but next time I'm in town I'll stop in to walk around and see the new shops. Tons and tons of parking, central location and easy as pie to find just off the Colonial Ave exit from I-81.

The shop embodies the free-spirited hippie culture of those who embrace the hippie values of peace, love, and community. When one arrives at the Boutique, the entire storefront is large glass windows, with two glass doors that are all the way opened, welcoming and inviting you to walk in. As you walk in you pass by a rack with wheels of clothes on sale. Inside, an orange Volkswagen Beetle full of stickers, one of the icons of the Hippy era, has been raised and standing up decorates the store in a very unique way. The floor of the place is part hardwood floor and another part is covered with pennies with heads facing up and held there with some type of acrylic. The front of the cashier counter is also pieces of broken mirrors stuck together. Over part of the pieces of mirrors there is a colorful cloth with flowers all over it and the saying: "You make the world a better place just by being in it." The store is full of the items already mentioned above. A little bit of it all. Some of them make great gifts for people of all ages, especially the colorful clothing, hats, and jewelry. They now have a Hippy Salon that offers product-free dreadlock creation and maintenance, feathers, woolies, glass beads etc. Appointments are being required for this service. I highly recommend this Boutique to everyone. All of us, no matter our age, are a little bit Hippy inside, and could definitely find something here for ourselves or a a gift for someone special in our lives.

If the items in the display window looked nice, when I walked inside the store I was amazed at all of the beautiful quality items that I saw there. A friendly and very knowledgeable lady in charge of the store was having a young man employee move some of the Boots to the back of the store where all the discounted items are displayed. She talked to me about the company and brought me to the area where the exotic Western Boots were kept so that I could admire all the different boot skins from ostrich to snake and beyond. Everything in the store were quality items, from hats, belts, belt buckles, jewelry, knives, colone, leather wallets, leather purses, apparel, sunglasses, greeting cards, home decorations, toys, stuff animals, and even pet items. On the back wall of the store, high above, there is a mural painted representing the Blue Hill Mountains and the Star of Roanoke, which gives the store a local flavor. Among my favorite items in the store is an artwork of a white barn with the saying: "The simple things MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING." I highly recommend everyone reading my review to visit this store. I'm sure it will be an amazing experience in and of itself, and who knows, you might come out with one of your favorites items to take home. .

Located on the ground level of Tanglewood Mall, the store looked exactly as pictured, and was chocked full of scrubs of ask different sizes, brands, styles, materials, and colours. ++ Amazing variety of scrubs, and there are catalogues to look through to customize and order in exactly the set that you want. The owner lady was knowledgeable and helpful, and I bought my top of the rack but ordered in pants. Once the order arrived they called and left a voice message, and I picked up from the store. There is at least one bargain rack of scrubs where everything is on discount. Although I didn't need to buy any, they also have shoes (albeit expensive at mostly $100+), small equipment, and accessories, such as name badge clips. I found the pricing affordable, for my Cherokee top ($13.99) and bottom ($14.99). - - At in-store checkout they asked for my email address, saying if I spend $100 they'll send a discount coupon. Within three weeks, I got my first unsolicited advertising material, and unsubscribed right way.
