Love this store! The people that worked there were very nice. So refreshing to find a store that has items made in the USA. I did all my Christmas shopping here and everyone loved there presents. There baby section makes me want to have another kid!

I'm sure this store is great. However, my experience with the store owner was not.



On a cold rainy day, I went to try Common Bond. The parking space I pulled into was labeled "space" 30 min. As I was getting to go I thought I would have no problem getting out of that parking space in that time. Well, the line was long and it ended up taking me about 40 min to get out of there, finding my car about to be towed away out of the lot. The tow truck driver said the store owner called him to tow me.



I was confused, why would Common Bond call to have me towed for a few minutes over time? No, the driver pointed to the corner of the building- that store owner- Space. It finally clicked for me- the parking space labeled space was for this store named Space.



As I stood in the pouring rain, with me and my car at the mercy of Space and the tow truck, I pointed out another car that was parked in a space also labeled space 30 min, that was there before I parked, why is that car not towed? Tow truck driver replied that's because it's the store owner's car and that they call him all the time to tow cars out of their spots.



I paid to release my car and tried to explain my honest mistake to the store owner. I was told people don't respect their spots and hopefully I have a better rest of my day.



Perhaps, adding additional signage such as " for customer parking only - Space retail" would help unwitting people such as I who think they have found a space to park labeled "space". Also, if there's an issue with limited parking for their shop, why does the owner park in one of these hard to come by spots and leave it available for the customers?

Great store for items handmade in the USA!
