World Market

World DEAL Market!
Love this place! Eclectic collection of home furnishings, decorations and even food! Our visit had friendly staff and great deals. Think Pier 1 with better deals. Can’t wait to return.

I just recently moved into the Beaches area, and DID NOT KNOW this was even here! I dont go to Pier 1 unless I want to cry when I see their sky high prices. This location is actually IN a strip mall next to P1– lol!!! This place has LOTS of cute beachy items. I was PLEASANTLY surprised when the clerk told me they sold WINE!!! YAYYYYY! Will be back!!!

If you can conjure a need for it, they probably carry it here! I love their plastic wine glasses that look like glass, and their tea bag holders, and cloth napkins. They truly carry everything you would need to be a successful host for any event, down to the drinks. They have some great sales going on from time to time, and carry a wonderful array of specialty foods, and linens. While you can probably find better prices online, this floor is idea provoking!

Now I have been coming here for ever. I love it they carry so many things that I like. I like all the different plates, off the wall cooking stuff, the fancy knifes n forks that I have wanted since I first stopped in. One day I’m going to drop the bucket and get enough for six. So you can also find candies of the world. Some I saw in Germany, and even stuff we found in Jamaica. So I keep coming in from time to time to look around when I have some time to kill. I just love me some World Market.

Went yesterday for the first time in a while hoping I would find some imported French Macaron’s but I didn’t… However I was very quickly distracted by all of the awesome Halloween goodies that they had, the items ranged from decorations to beers/​wines all in theme for Halloween, to a huge array of candy that was all so very tempting yet a lot of the candy that they had I had seen at other specialty grocery chains and were cheaper then at World Market. They also had non alcoholic brews which were great bc one of the ones I tried was Halloween themed but was like a sparkling apple cider, so it would be great for kids, or you could even mix your favorite «poison» with it for a great adult Halloween kick! We even added some of the pop rocks that we bought and every one was having fun at that point! The wine selection is ok but if your a wine lover then this is not the place to get your wines, plus the staff yesterday was not knowledgeable at all when it came to the Wine! Overall it’s a cute place, obviously not for your every day needs but nice. The staff was friendly, and if I ever need something original I’ll be back!

World Market is one of those places I could walk around and find all sorts of stuff I «need». While the furniture isn’t exactly my taste, I do find pieces from time to time that I love. Like right now, I’m in large with one of their dining banquettes. Not entirely sure it fits the space i have, but it’s not in the budget right now, so I’ll worry about that another day.
I usually stop in for the coffee as they have some of the better mass market blends. If you join their loyalty program you can get points every time you buy coffee. I don’t know if it’s every Wednesday, but they’ll e-​mail you and you can get double points on coffee purchases. Yes, it all does add up to a free bag of coffee (I think 10 is the requirement, but I’ll have to login to check my account). They offer plenty of other foodstuffs from around the world. And since it’s pumpkin season — well, at least in the retail world — the Torani Pumpkin sauce is back on the shelves. We went through several bottles last year and I see that happening again this year.
My husband likes to stop in for the wine tastings. From time to time they have a small selection available to taste. But when they go big, they can go all out. I think the last one we went to had five different stations and each station had four or five bottles to try.
If you’re looking for that specialty food item or something to finish off a room or even just a nice host gift, try World Market. It’s like traveling with a passport without leaving the comfort of your own neighborhood.

I could walk around in World Market all day; there is such a variety of items to peruse.
I am an Explorers club member (free to join), and I buy coffee here on Wednesdays to get a double punch. That means I earn a free bag of coffee every 4^th bag. The coffee is good too, although I am still in mourning for the Kauai Peaberry they discontinued two years ago… now I have to settle for Tanzanian.
In addition to coffee, this is also a great place to buy beer and wine. They have some choices you can’t find elsewhere at the beach. The international food section is worth checking out as well.
I purchased a tall chest about a year ago, and I received good customer service with the selection, the pick up and the loading into my car. The cashiers are also friendly, and often open a new register if they notice you waiting.

I don’t really understand the bad reviews of this place. It’s a store, not a restaurant– who cares if they don’t ask you your life story when you walk in? I can always find an associate if I really need helping finding something. Let’s be real though, I only go there if I’m looking for a new bottle wine or a foreign beer for my man– which then leads to me purchasing too much unnecessary shit. Coffees, wine glasses or cooking utensils. Or olive oils. Or Italian candies. Or Indian Christmas ornaments. It never ends! If you are a traveler and you’re looking for something that you once loved in a country you once visited, World Market will most likely have it!

I have to agree with Zornitsa’s review about this World Market store. Horrible customer service… or lack thereof. There were more associates than customers and not one greeted us, asked us if we needed help, or said goodbye as we left (one was standing by the exit). Will never go back. I’m giving it 2 stars because the selection is good.

Very inflexible «customer is always wrong» attitude. I used to like this place but wow. no way am I going back. I wanted to exchange an item for which I had used my $ 10 off coupon that was earned through their rewards program. they didn’t want to apply the coupon to the new item and the argument was that other customers don’t complain about it. I said that this is horrible customer experience (you earn $ 10 off for every $ 100 you spend) and I told another customer that I’m very disappointed they won’t let me use the coupon. The manager Mario started to yell at me that I’m lying and that he will apply some other discount ($ 4) in the end and threatening that he will give my name to corporate (should I be scared?). Overall, this was a terrible experience and I felt treated terribly when it could have been resolved way easier. I did get the $ 4 discount and i didn’t get reported to corporate (whatever that was supposed to mean) but the experience was bad from my standpoint. What the manager did not get was that I wasn’t bothered about the $ 10 or $ 4 but about the experience.
Not going back there. Unfortunately because it has nice things and the cashier employees are very nice
