World Market

For some reason this kind of mess is totally OK with manager Chris. Wanted a rug, couldn’t shop here. Won’t be back

It’s fun to browse around in this store. Certain things can be pricier than other store so make sure to sign up for their email coupons. Check out can be slow especially on weekends.

For the first time! I thought this shop is just s normal discount one. It is not! They have many things. Furniture, decorations, food, beer, wine, soda, etc…
Furniture: Cheap and low quality.
Food: International! They have many clearances up to 55% off. I bought lots of all natural Indian curry.
Drink: If you get their free membership, you can get special prices for wine especially. I purchased natural pear and lemon sparkling juice. Also $ 3 $ 1.5.
The staffs: Friendly and nice.
Parking lot: Right in front of the building.
I can’t wait for trying what I got yesterday;)

We had just moved here and wanted to purchase a new desk chair– the Lydia dining chair. The price tag and promotion on the chair said $ 49.99. When we went to go and pay for the chair, it rang up over $ 150. When we questioned the price of the chair with the store manager, Cathy, she said she could not honor the promotion price because one of her employees mistakenly put the wrong price. When we confronted her about the issue of false marketing, she said it wasn’t false marketing it was just a store mistake. She got very defensive and walked away from us while we were still talking to her. VERY RUDE AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I love this store unabashedly. If I could live in the bath section I’d have you step over me.
This is one of the most fabulous of the World Market stores. It’s big, plentiful and colorful. It’s vibrant and everyone is always so cheerful. I mean, I would be too if this was the paradise I had to work in every day.
The prices for beautiful things really does make me feel like I’m in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar (but this is way better, trust me, I’ve been to Istanbul). The selections, the variety… it’s overwhelming to me. If I won the lotto I’d buy a World Market of my own. To go with my rainbow Lambo. But I digress…
The only, ONLY thing I dislike… is the checkout. It’s a narrow passage that isn’t really that accommodating to baskets. There’s a little cement ramp that goes into another fabulous section so it’s impossible to hold a cart there without practically using brute force to keep it from rolling down. It’s very odd. Also, there was a long line when I was there and only one person manning the registers. Oh well, I get it, I can share my love.
The personnel are fantastic, helpful, out going and smiley. I wish every day were a World Market day. Here especially, it’s the best I’ve ever been to.

Really really tight world market. So hard to navigate through effective with strollers because there is just stuff everywhere.
I come in for particular things and I just like to come in and grab it. Otherwise, I’ll be in here hours and hours not very productive.
I waited in line for 20 minutes and the cashiers didn’t seem to have sense of urgency. Whom appeared to be like a supervisor/​manager didn’t give 2 cents if there were customers waiting in line for quite long but she rather lay on the counter and browse on her computer and ordered people through her headset. Very classy world market! Worldly of you!

I want to give special attention to the customer service. My husband and I were looking for mead for a potluck, and we weren’t sure if World Market carried any. We asked someone in the alcohol section, and they said it was seasonal but they should’ve gotten a recent shipment. I expected them to give a cursory glance and that’s it, which is fine since it was a shot in the dark.
They knew a shipment had arrived, and lo and behold the employee managed to find the mead still packed in a box among a stack of boxes. She opened it up and gave me the bottles I needed right from there. I can’t believe she found it! I wish I’d gotten her name, because I appreciated her going above and beyond for me.

Rather randomly one night, we discovered World Market and felt transported to another dimension of funky souvenirs, delightful foreign snacks, and neat furniture.
The collection can best be described as eclectic for the front of the store has chairs and pillows, the middle features home decoration trinkets from far and wide (rose bud-​shaped soap, anyone?), and the back charms with gustatory delights – wine, spices, candy, among other treats. Happily, we were able to locate a favorite snack from the UK that is elusive at most foreign goods places so big kuddos to WM.
Frequent shoppers can benefit from signing up for the free discount program and get these unique items for less. This place is like Home Goods with an exotic international twist.

Prior to this review I had only shopped at World Market for funky jewelry, scarves, sriracha sauce, chocolate, and awesome vino. Now that I’m almost a grown up I’m considering patio furniture and dressers: this place has an AWESOME selection with very reasonable prices. Granted most of the furniture you’ll have to assemble yourself, get yourself a screwdriver and a strong man… this place is well worth a trip.
BONUS: free wine tastings and snack samples on some saturdays. Can’t beat that.

I love world market much better than the pier one imports down the road. My favorite thing is their store brand candles that are hand poured in india. The World market tahitian vanilla candle smells HEAVENLY and this is coming from someone who doesn’t really like vanilla scented things! It’s amazing. The store is clean, the line moves swiftly usually and they have cute and unusual «finds» to treat yourself with. Customer service is a little hard to find at times you will have to go up front to even find someone who works but other than that I like this place!

Great store! Except, slowest cashiers I’ve ever experienced. Went here on a Saturday afternoon and the line was pretty long and they only had 2 cashiers working and those cashiers were wicked slow as it was. Will go back but will allow more time for checking out my items.

Fantastic array of furniture, rugs, teas, and more. Regular sales attract me to purchase the lovely eccentric furniture. Warm staff and quite an inviting place.

Overall: Great place for home items, different types of food/​candy/​beer/​wine than you’ll find at a grocery store — but this location is smaller than others I’ve been to.
Service: We went on a busy day close to Christmas so I was ready to stand around and wait. Employees brought a huge basket of candy to people waiting in line, though, so that was a really nice touch! Chocolate makes everything more bearable.
Tip: they carry a type of German, marzipan-​filled stollen that’s AMAZING — be sure to pick some up! It comes in a box with some coffee, but it’s worth it :)

Not senior friendly. Their policy is to card everyone even if you have gray hair and wrinkles and look old enough to be the cashier’s grandma. «Airport security» approach makes a bad shopping experience. I walked out without the wine, and I won ‘t go back.

Great location with open layout and large selection of various items. Tucked into one of the Leesburg Pike strip malls. The location didn’t have the furniture item we wanted, but pointed us to one that did. In the meantime we found some fun food items.
If you have wheels, I would definitely recommend going to this location over others in the area.

Their prices are moderate, but their selection of non-​furniture items continue to diversify every time I visit. Find gifts for food, wine or picnic lovers easily here. Usually their products are separated by themes such as pumpkin ale and pumpkin salsa and categorized by item types: spices, small gift travel sizes (perfect for gift baskets/​boxes), candy, kids, parties, teas and coffees, chocolates, drink mixes, chips, sauces, and waters.
I love their hot curry spice mix for flavoring foods at home. It’s just spicy enough to add a kick to any dish.

Great selection of items for unique gifts! Th prices are reasonable (although most of the kitchen items are cheaper at nearby HomeGoods).
I especially love the selction of different foods and wines. Some of the staffers are definitely more knowledgeable about the wines than others, but all are friendly.

This is not my favorite World Market location, but it’s a-​ok. The strip mall /​parking lot where this shop is located are jammed packed and kinda rundown. The store itself is overcrowded and laid out too tightly. Every time you turn around, you hold your breath that you didn’t knock something over. This particular shop seems heaviest on the furniture, baskets, etc. and lightest on my favorite items, food, beer, wine, etc. But overall, still a decent selection and all at decent prices.

I’ve discovered over they years that each of the 3 World Markets near my home have their own charm and reasons I visit a particular one.
For this location, I love their selection of kitchen & dining items, food & pantry items (particularly imported items) and the enormous selection of beverages including wine, sake, beer, boutique/​old fashioned sodas and Italian flavored syrups (lots of SF varieties of these too). I am in here at least once a month for something or other and come Christmas I always walk out with a bag of goodies to fill stockings.
They have a good selection of home décor and furniture. I like that they carry many items for a long time — including some seasonal items that I happily see return year after year. I fell in love with a coffee table 3 – 4 years ago and when I decided recently to upgrade a number of items in my home, I was glad WM was still carrying the exact item that had caught my eye.
I also prefer the layout and organization of this location over the other 2 as the staff clearly understands that a shoppers ability to just simply walk from the front of the store to the rear and back shouldn’t resemble an obstacle course.

Cool selection of goods made around the world, not just China! lol. I’m a big fan and I appreciate that their prices aren’t unreasonable. I recently described this store as a cross between Pier 1 and Bed Bath and Beyond, BUT better! :-)
