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.

Miles of crap. I mean stuff. Good Chinese stuff.

I went in wanting to buy some designer glasses and another customer was already running around the store trying to get someone to open the cases to try on some glasses. Once she found help for us, I asked if I could try a couple on too. I was told by the sales associate that only one person at a time can be helped. Fine. I waited for another 10 minutes for the other client to choose which glasses she would buy. The sales associate then told me she had to go help them at the register and needed to find the cases for the glasses too. Another 15 minutes went by. At that point I just left. They're clearly not interested in making a sale. Such a shame because before this lock up situation, I used to buy all my glasses from this location. Looks like I'll need to find another store.

It reminds me of a 99¢ store or Dollar General, but it's not part of a chain. While the quality…read moreisn't top-tier, this small, locally-run shop is perfect for disposable or short-term essentials. They carry a wide range of items, including kitchen supplies, party favors, inexpensive clothing like denim and sports team shirts, lamps, holiday decorations, and kids' items that are likely to be outgrown quickly. The store has a cluttered, treasure-hunt feel, with affordable prices and a variety of random finds. I've picked up Christmas ornaments here when I needed extra fillers for the tree, and it's definitely a place I'd return to for party supplies or other temporary-use items. Staff is quiet, but pleasant.

They have a great selection of eccentric foods. You can find a lot of things here at a big discount or just a selection of items that you don't see anywhere else. They have a good selection of cat products at a great price. Always frequent their Christmas section approximately mid November because they put out a nice section, but it disappears quickly. They have some great programs. They also have an eat for free program. A special table usually has a dozen or two items on it and if you buy them whatever it costs they give you a gift card for the exact same amount of money. I think it's just a way for them not to throw things away pretty cool. Every once in a while, you can get lucky and they'll be a good product on the eat for free table. The store isn't as clean as you would want it to be, but it is a warehouse type location and they don't have many people working there for such a big store. It's a huge plaza. You'll always get a spot.

Nice selection and pricing, but check the food shelf dates. Many expired food products to be found.read more

I have mostly been happy with the final products, which really isn't a reflection of Beach Sales per se (but rather, Electrolux, Kitchenaid, etc.). I had one somewhat negative experience after a delivery person dropped stove pieces outside of my home and tried to deliver without comment (I witnessed). It took an unnecessary amount of discussion with folks back at the store to come up with a repair plan. But ultimately they helped to re-send replacement cast iron parts for what had been dropped and damaged. Most recently, I have grown very frustrated with trying to access the 50% rebate on an unused five-year warranty. I feel that I was misled. It's come to my attention that the "50% back" is actually just for Beach Sales purchases, and it's not a refund check as it had seemed. Not only that, there are many many hoops to jump through. Even after jumping through all the hoops and gathering all the old documents from five years ago AND following the guidelines, I am still waiting six months later with no rebate. No coupon nor check. While the extra five-year warranty sounds like a good idea, don't count on the 50% back rebate. And be sure to ask questions.
