I think I secretly go to this store because it's owned by a little Chinese family so I can make…read morethem go oooohhh by the white blond girl that can speak Chinese. Little did they know I'm half Chinese heh! This is a fun little ethnic store on Pleasant Street in Malden that reminds me of the underground shops I frequent in China. That's not to say they are selling knockoff''s or B-grades.....but things do look very similar, hmmmmmm. It's one of those random $ store with most items at the $1 range, but of course a few like plants and TV's a little bit more. But in all, it's a fun store to peruse if you are looking to spend a hour doing some random one stop shopping. Gag gift - check, Moth Balls - check, Chinese inspired items - check, check check, sheets - check, toilet paper - check, moth balls - check , black & White TV - Check, Roni * house warming gift spoiler * a bamboo plant - check, cereal - check, suitcases - check, Wrapping paper - check, diapers - check, Belts - check, Chinese New Year Decorations - check, batteries check, lamps - check, shower curtains - check...........1 hour later .............spices - check, random bathroom toiletries - check, laundry soap - check, tools - check, school supplies - check, scrunchies - check, hair product check Oh did I mention everything is some weird sub brand with foreign lettering on it? Who cares! When you are on a budget, a cheap bastard or just want to spend a few hours amazed by the interesting trinkets this is the place for you. You will walk out spending $50 bucks and have 10 bags! * Not to mention, I think there is a 1 review a month quota for the town you reside in, so hopefully this covers it. So why 4 stars instead of 5? IDK it kind of smells a little too much like moth balls at times and I hate that smell. But at the end of the day it's a little Chinese family trying to make an honest living, so I though they deserved a nod. Hehe - and I needed something else to add to my home town list.

Anytime I went to Salem on my always enjoyed coming in here. I was back here in May and I was…read moretotally disappointed with what the store was like then and it seems to be continuing. They have an entire wall of Christmas village and Halloween village stuff which they don't even bother to plug in or turn on for tourist to see. If you want us to buy your merchandise, we need to see it work and it's just nice altogether to have that on display. The stuff that they get in the store is not interesting. It's the regular run-of-the-mill tourist gifts that you see in a lot of these stores. I understand their needs to be Salem merchandise, but it would be nice to see other funny little things in that store like they used to before. Again, I don't know if it's under due management or it might be going out of business which would make sense why nothing is lit up or on display, but it was very underwhelming and disappointing to see this twice this year in this condition.

The time of my visit was during Chris Columbus weekend. I took the commuter train in from Newburyport to North Station and then take the T to Broadway and walk all the way there. By the time I got there it was well after 11pm and the door was locked and had a sign that said be back in a few, turned out to be 30 minutes. Had a decent conversation with a local guy that waited with me there saying the gal Mary or something just lived up the street and she'd probably be there real soon. When the lady did show up didn't apologize or anything which is fine, I really wanted to get something from Southie. Which would be made from there and was also Irish. Sadly, nothing there was from the area. Most of the stuff you'd find in most of the Irish stores in the area. The shirts that had Southie on them were very generic. I did find a bin on the floor near the register that had some Irish jerseys and was marked 35 dollars on the front of the bin. I saw a Guinnes soccer jersey and thought okay I'll go with that, ended up being 50 dollars. At this point didn't care anymore and fine.. the money is going to keep it local and all so here ya go. So, it may not have been the greatest experiences I might just ask for a place that is called Southies Own, to sell some local stuff that matches the theme of the store.

Great joint for scratch tickets and they have mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I stop here for a couple Reese's on the way back to the office after picking up a buffalo chicken salad from Scali. Can't really speak to the cards they have as I have yet to check them out...however they do have a few racks of them and a decent sized little corner of the store is dedicated to that part of their merchandise. So, yeah if you smoke heaters, or chew Skoal, or wanna quit chewing Skoal, and wanna try a new shop that isn't a 7-11, Store 24, or Bodega 97, drag your carcass to Congress Card & Tobacco.
