This is an interesting concept in terms of the assortment and merchandise, but like some of the other reviews the staff and owner are not the friendliest. If service improved its a cool store to buy little offs and ends.

These people are the worst. Monroe location included. Avoid like the plague-- worst customer service and creepy employees ever. I can not believe they are still in business.

While the selection is great, it is hard to shop here and feel good about it. The owner is mean and often rude to children. Their return policy is horrendous. I like to support local small business and I love the fun novelty items. It is rare though that I shop here. Maybe the managers and owners should care what their community thinks about them.

This rating is based on the Midtown location. I have vowed to NEVER shop here again. As noted by many others, the owners treat you like criminals, and their return policy is ridiculous. They place toys out for children to play with, then chastise them for doing so. I've heard the owner/manager berating employees, which probably explains why there's always a 'Help Wanted' sign on the door.

The best toy store in town. The store has toys that will satisfy everyone in your household. You can find brain teasers and silly games, educational toys, arts and crafts, and just anything your heart desires. In other words, you can find everything in this store.

Hands down one of the best stores Intown. Come here to shop for party supplies, holiday gifts and stocking stuffers, books, puzzles, old fashioned and hard to find toys, outdoor activities, housewares and more. Spend a while laughing at the cards and gag gifts!

I am in Atlanta, Georgia with my fiance who is working on a film called The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock. We are proud owners of an Art Gallery called STASH GALLERY in Miami, Fl. When your out of town working - people on the set refer you to go to certain restaurants, clubs, stores etc. Richards Variety Store was one of the stores we were excited to go to... Upon arriving, They have a woman at the door who takes your bags. ( shopping bags and puts them behind the counter which is customary in most stores) But I wasn't asked for my shopping bags, I was asked for my purse... I became very upset when I saw a woman with the same size purse as I had walking through the store. Let me add here that this woman was white - I am mixed Puerto Rican, German, & black foot native american indian. When asked why the lady was allowed to shop with her purse and I was not, the owner added that she slipped by... I am almost positive the woman who held the purse slipped by because she was WHITE. I was highly upset and highly disturbed by this incident.

This place treats its customers like thieves if you are other than white. It makes your whole expierence there very unpleasant. To make matters worse the owner apologizes to my fiance ( who's french & white ) instead of apologizing to me... the colored girl. On top of that, he employs black people to check in bags and mop floors and has a couple of white girls manning the registers. What bothered me most was the stereo - typing that was going on... I was made to feel like I look like a thief. It really messed with my self esteem. Especially when you have shopped all over town and no one has done this to you. I am staying in BUCKHEAD which is a pretty expensive place to live. Not only that, I own a black card... Instead of spending a couple of hundred dollars - I spent $80.00. ( i go to these kind of stores because I am an artist who uses a lot of nic-nac's in my pieces of art. ) After everything was said and done - I will never go to this store again and My fiance and I will be telling every one on set not to go there unless they are white. ( oh let me add - on top of taking my purse I was followed around the store ) To me, this was crazy... I have never stolen anything in my life - I believe in Karma and being a business owner I know how I feel when something gets stolen from me. So you can only imagine how I felt when I was being profiled and targeted. Let me also add that I travel all across america and the world and I do a lot of shopping. This was the first time I was asked for my purse. I hope if anything this review gets back to the owner, maybe it will teach him a BIG lesson. He just lost a lot of good customers, Sandra, her make up artist, Tim McGraw, Kathy Bates, & our whole film crew.... I would recommend going to Urban Outfitters or Junkmans Daughter or An Old American Store if your in Atlanta... you will have a much better time nor will you be followed like a thief or criminal.

This store is the best and I don't even live in Atlanta! Each time I visit my daughter I go and find super toys for my grandchild and any and every odd household item she is looking for. They absolutely have better toys at better prices than any other toy store I've shopped in. I highly reccomend that everyone puts this on their "favorites" list.....you won't be diappointed.EllenHouston, Texas
