#1 place to buy a candle. And on the top 10 list of places to buy a wedding/birthday/anniversary gift for folks you don't know really well. Candle holder? Frame? Beaded pillows? Decorative vase? Oh yea.
Now yea, yea, they have furniture too. But in most Pier 1 stores the furniture is more like just pretty surfaces to display all their decorative stuff. And I completely agree with those priorities. It's bad enough to pay $18 for a candle, though they are yummy enough it can almost be worth it, but the furniture is generally a bit overpriced as well. There are enough other places in town that have similar looks for less.
Their clearance goes one of two ways. 1) It's $2 less and really not that great of a deal, but they know the clearance tag will get you to look at it differently and think you're getting a bargain. 2) Really rockin bargains! When they are changing out candle scents or shapes, it's a good time to buy.
This location isn't particularly large, but it's not exactly small either. Not too bad at all.
