A new store opened on the block, and the grand opening was on Dec. 10th. This is one of their…read morenewest store locations, since they're sprouting up like wildflowers.
This store used to be a clothing store for over 20 years and the location has a basement floor (mostly for inventory storage), besides the first floor. The shop itself is of a rectangular shape, and most of the merchandise are on the first floor.
They carry mostly imported goods from China and most of the inventory just screams cute, adorable, and girls will love it. So it's perfect for guys that needs a one stop shop to make their girlfriends happy (especially teenagers). I actually saw someone buying this giant bear that's almost his own height.
There's a ton of stuffed animals, hair/cell/and beauty accessories, cup sets, beauty products (scents, beauty tools, make simple makeup items), stationary ... Like cute puked on their shelves and everything just makes a little girl want to buy stuff. And there's more .......
They take credit cards with no minimum. And I heard two Spanish speaking staff members (so don't worry, that's an implied requirement to do business on this block.) But you do still get the occasionally non-English speaker that only speaks Mandarin and they will call another staff to assist you.
However, no refund or exchanges so shop carefully.
The biggest thrill for me was finding a 10 in one pen.... it's a personal weakness. And then buying their biggest printed tote bag of cuteness for like 18cents. (A bag I didn't mind paying for and actually wanted to pay for one to take home. It does come in varies sizes, but you get to pick.) And the staff does ask you if you want a bag beforehand; So, you won't just find an extra charge you said no to afterwards, like a lot of stores are doing now since the plastic bag ban. (Yes, it's a big peeve for me with that crap, especially when I have my own bag on me) .
Double win in my book lol
Extra info. : This is def. a Chinese owned and operated business. They're actually opening up a lot of locations in New York (Soho, Queens Mall and Junction Blvd. (Elmhurst locations), The Mills Mall, at Jersey Garden, NJ and they're expanding even further across the country; It seems like they're trying to be the Chinese version of Japanese Muji. The inner business structure is relatively new and have not fully acclimated as a chain franchise in the US.
