| - What can I say? I love this place! When we go to San Diego, we always make a trip to this store. So, when this finally (long anticipated) came to Borders' old location at Town Square, I could not wait. Woo Hoo!
Ok, it is Grand Opening day (10% of profits will go to the Junior League of Las Vegas) and it is super duper crowded and you can hardly walk because of all the people and their carts, but I loved it. I didn't get to see everything but I was able to walk down most of the aisles. I was on the hunt for baby-room (my husband is giving up his man cave and at some point will need to incorporate his stuff and my room together) inspiration as I had already checked the site online and started a registry- this gave me a chance to look at the things in person for size scale and color, and what not. Plus, I wanted some covered containers for the bedroom as my little things sitting on our little bedside shelf have collected dust and I just want them inside something, so dusting will become easier. It gets dusty living in the desert!
I couldn't even recognize the store being Borders- it seemed bigger, brighter, and better. It was organized! I was a fan of the Organized Living store that was located in the Best in the West shopping center, so when it closed its doors, there was a void. Enter San Diego trips and this store. I just love this store. I love the products. I know it is a specialty store, and some things cost a pretty penny, but when it comes to making life easier, it just doesn't seem to matter. Piece of mind matters. I'm willing to spend more when I know that it will be worth it. (Isn't this the truth? I set budgets for things, but for certain things I will pay more for, like makeup and shoes.)
Checkout wasn't bad. Yes, there was a line, but it was about ten minutes, because another line opened up and somehow this lady who asked us where the end of the line was, ended up at the front of the line; hey, she must've been at the right place when they opened up another line, right?
So, yes, we will be back again, and I'm sure it won't be as crowded because it's always crazy during Grand Opening, just ask all the people who watch first-run movies at the theaters (unless you are a retired senior citizen who watches movies at 2 pm).
