I had only visited outside market events Black Friday held in the past. I felt at home. Great finds here. I purchased a natural hair soothing edge gel (by Clara Bea Essentials) and a Green Apatite Gemstone Bracelet for Self-Care and Healing. The Clara Bea Essentials soothing edge gel is top tier. There is only one edge control I prefer, and now I'm adding Clara Bea to my go-to. Great product. The bracelet is absolutely beautiful, with a peaceful and relaxing balance when worn.

I had been following all the street fairs on Instagram and dropped in today to check out some clearance items. I purchased a homemade candle by Scents of Overflow and a cute mug. I love the women who work here and all their positive energy. This store is home to so much of our culture and history. The art work is beautiful, the vendors pour their hearts and souls into the merchandise and I love being able to spread wealth amongst my own people. I hope they are here to stay. My friend bought trendy sunglasses, vaginal steam herbs, Greek paraphernalia. I even scored a free pecan brownie today with my purchase. They sell herbs, seasonings, snacks, juices, clothing, jewelry. If you make it and it's black owned they sell it ! I love that this is home to so many talented black vendors. I can't wait to return for some cool t-shirts and other finds.

TLDR: Lovely, affordable boutique in Garner. Welcoming and helpful employees. New products on…read moreTuesdays. I passed by this store a few times not realizing what it was. I initially mistook it for a children's store. I learned it was a boutique and checked it out. What a cute shop! The store is larger than comparable boutiques and more affordable. Plus they have a discount section! As I perused the shelves, an employee welcomed me. I informed her that it was my first visit and she enthusiastically told me about the shop. She then greeted other customers and answered their questions. I found two discounted tops I liked and tried them on in the fitting room. The first didn't fit, but the second one did. I purchased the second top and a hand towel as a gift. This store is an excellent place to purchase a gift. They offer a variety of high quality items. Overall, I had a great experience here and I recommend this shop to others!

There were multiple rooms, all nicely decorated. Most focused on furniture, women's apparel, and gifts. Some rooms with products from other boutiques, one with bird baths and seed, and another with sale items. The employees seem to all be good friends and enjoy their job, which is refreshing to see. They host events, for instance, Christmas tree decorating. I think we arrived just after an event since they had drinks and snacks out. Overall, we enjoyed walking through this shop and recommend it to others!

I enjoyed walking through the shop, but found it a bit pricy even compared to other boutiques. The clothes do seem to be good quality and Ritas offers a good variety. Plus there is a sale rack in the back. The employee working the counter was a little brash, but I believe it was her way of welcoming us to the shop. Overall, nice shop to check out if looking for a gift for yourself or someone else.

Three of us gals of varying ages all bought items on sale. It might appear to be a small store from the outside. (It's in Brennan Station on Creedmoor Road. In between the awesome pedicure place and the cool bottle shop.), but it's full of what you can tell are carefully selected things that Gals want. It's obvious Rita knows what she's doing. We were told items change frequently, so definitely a place for frequent stop-ins!

Hi. I live in Austin Texas and I come here twice a year to visit my mom and shop at Dwayne's…read more Today I went to the snack area and the red haired young lady at the counter was really rude to us. I did not feel at all like she wanted to welcome us. She did not enjoy anything about her job. I ordered two chocolate shakes and an orange aid. The lady asked me if I wanted pineapple or cherries or anything and when I looked at her and said no, I'd like the shakes plain please she snapped at me. I'm talking about the orange aid. I told her I'm not from here. I did not know that you guys added anything to it and I'm sorry. I just want a plain one. We went outside to the patio when our order was done, and I realized I did not have a straw for my orange aid. So my daughter went in to grab another straw and again the young redheaded lady told her I already gave you straws. My daughter said you gave us straws for the shake, but not for the orange drink. The redheaded lady orange told my daughter, You mean, orange aid. No, I wasn't born yesterday and I come here twice a year and I drop a lot of money at your store. I know that it seems like it'd be a desirable place for young people to work because you get a discount and it's a pretty cool place to work at I think that this girl might need some more training or maybe another girl who really wants to work at that store should take her place.

I saw a sign on the highway for DeWayne's on my way to Benson, so I decided to make a stop when I…read moregot to Smithfield. It is located near the Outlet Mall but far enough away (half a mile) from the traffic from there. The shopping center is technically located in Selma, NC. The parking lot is large, but you might still have trouble finding a parking place as it is a busy store. DeWayne's is not an outlet store but a high-quality, family-owned store with name brands. You will find clothing, Pandora, Kendra Scott, Hey Dude, Vineyard Vines, Simply Southern, Tommy Bahama, Julie Vos, Birkenstock, and Yeti coolers, as well as shoes and accessories. I am sure I missed a lot. I wouldn't normally go two days in a row, but after I posted my photos, I saw other photos of the upstairs. So I had to see what I missed, and I decided to go looking for an item. Upstairs was the Attic, where items are discounted 50% and 70% on Wednesdays, I was informed by an employee. Christmas Land is the largest Christmas store in North Carolina, with eleven decorated rooms. The Garden Center with indoor and outdoor plants was another popular area. They had bird seed, different types of soil, and containers. The Sweet Shop had a variety of fudge and Hershey's ice cream. There were other specialty foods throughout the store and closer to the cash registers. Everyone here was friendly, and I was even recognized on my second visit. When I entered for the first time, the employee could tell I was a little overwhelmed and helped me learn the layout of the store. If the outlet mall isn't for you, make sure you stop at DeWayne's for a much better experience. On my first visit, I left with Suzy Zoo items, fudge and chocolates. While I didn't find what I was looking for on the second day, I found something in the Christmas Land that would work. The line to check out was much longer, so I kept finding more items while waiting to pay. It was a good thing I didn't get a cart. They do have a rewards club, which I should have joined, as I am looking forward to returning.
