Cost Plus World Market

I love the world market. There’s so many awesome things here.
Furniture, snacks, food, kitchenware, clothing, décor, & just a bunch of random other things that are from around the globe.
They also have a loyalty program, where you can additional discounts.
The staff is usually very friendly and helpful.
They have sales often on the items there & I just enjoy always coming in and finding something else that’s unique to take home.
I also love the candles they carry. I’ve also bought a lot of dishes, a cake stand and etc here. They’re so chic!

I used to love world market, but the last time I went I left really upset. I had bought several of the same item, decided it wasn’t for me, returned it within the 60 day policy. When I went to return it, the young male cashier attempted to scan my receipt, and my purchase wasn’t on record. Okay great, he calls the manager to sort things out.
She comes over, the register tells her the same thing several times. Then, this is where it irked me. She asks for my I.D. to apparently try another method. I am not familiar with this, so I asked why she needed it. She gave me attitude while responding. Fine, I give her my I.D. to try it out. Same response. Transaction not found. So then she resorts to tell me there’s nothing she can do, even though I clearly have a receipt from that store, and the items still have their price tags. I wasn’t even offered store credit. What’s the point of having a return policy if they’re not going to honor it? Now I’m stuck with items I don’t want. Never again.

My favorite place to shop lately. It’s almost therapy. The staff is very helpful. The store is laid out well. I also love getting their coupons on my phone. Bonus!

This store has a lot of really great, unique items, however, the prices are a bit high. The staff are always friendly. They carry seasonal items as well as general year round items. The store is always neat and organized. I don’t think I’ve ever been in the store and no one asked us if we needed any help. A great store to find that perfect gift for the tea lover in your family or something unique.

Everyone is super nice & I can always find my favorite European mentos. Also a good place for anyone who is a soda or tea fan.

I love this store. The employees are always nice and knowledgeable. Store is very clean and organized. I bought a couch here and had to pick it up at a later time. They were so accommodating and even called when it was ready to pick up. They always have great sales too!

I love the merchandise and selection here. And the member card program offers some pretty great options. The jewelry, scarves, lotions, greeting cards, cookware, seasonal items, and foods (yes – and wine section) are all great.
What sucks about this store is it is WAY TOO CLUTTERED. If this were a home and not a store, they would be bordering on hoarding. I’m surprised the ADA or fire marshal hasn’t issued a citation. For customers who are in wheelchairs or are pushing standard or narrow strollers – good luck getting more than three feet past the cashiers… the maze of pathways through the store is just too narrow to navigate anything… Even their smaller shopping carts don’t fit through at least 50% of the aisles.
Cost Plus – you might really want to widen and declutter your walking paths through the store. It would make the customer experience more enjoyable and less frustrating,

One of my favorite stores… They have everything from different foods, drinks, wines and beers from around the world. Another part of the store has different furniture, bedding and decoration items that are unique and you can’t find anywhere else. You do have to shop for the best deal as prices can be high sometimes. But there is a huge selection of wine and a section dedicated to discounted bottles

Have always loved visiting this store. Prices are hit or miss. This location has a great selection of cards for any occasion. Skip the local pharmacy or Target and get original, funny cards from here. Also, great deals on wine, and you can save by getting a membership card (free, and not a credit card).

If you’ve got an insatiable sweet tooth and a hankering for unusual flavors, along with a wad burning a hole in your wallet, this might be the store for you. That and flashy packaging distinguishes nearly everything carried here that isn’t also found nearby, and most of what’s in those pretty packages is just tarted up cheap junk. All you get for your money is image and feel-​good, and I’d rather spend my money on something legitimately better.
The wine department is the worst, and I have no idea why anyone would shop here when Fresno is overflowing with excellent, relatively inexpensive wine shops. Slapping $ 30 price tags (on sale from $ 40!) on something that could have come from Gallo’s liquor-​store line is just insulting. Then you have, as above, their emphasis on sweet flavored wines, and you have to wonder if they’re actually in the wine business at all, or just want to sell dessert?
The beer isn’t as bad, a few good macros, a few good micros, a few local brands, and lots of really mediocre or outright terrible bottles. Any sampler they brand with their own label is a way to push bad junk with a few decent bottles; seriously, Moosehead is not one of the world’s best beers, if anything it’s nearly the world’s _​worst_​beer. The only saving grace is that they don’t sell Foster’s. I don’t know where they come up with some of this stuff.
The tea and coffee are only notable for having (sweet!) infusions you rarely find elsewhere, stuff like absinthe and ginger, along with the usual orange peel and jasmine. What’s actually high quality is what you can get elsewhere for less, what’s not is marked up to the same level to rip off the unwary.
Naturally, none of the actual goods are made in America. Some are decent, some are so specific to a single task that you wonder if they’re As-​Seen-​On-​TV, but everything is a lot more than you’d expect unless you only shop at Williams-​Sonoma.
The yuppiness is palatable, focused in being trendy instead of quality or value… just like the rest of River Park, so they fit in perfectly. Unless you’re looking for appliances and furniture in the same place as your booze and snacks, you would probably be better served at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.
I’m on their mailing list, and most of the time I find it fairly pointless; sometimes sales that barely bring things down to their competitors’ prices, but mostly just markdowns on whatever they can’t sell because no one wants it.

Two weeks ago I spent one night in Fresno and since I had lots of time, I visited the Cost Plus World Market.
I love the World Markets. They have so many different things in there, I could spend a whole day just going from isle to isle and play with stuff or read food labels.
Here, I bought two old school board games for my nephew’s birthdays and they loved it. It was nice to actually find something original and not worry if they already have it or not.

They have a great selection of almost anything for the home in terms of décor, kitchen items, food etc. And everything is good quality. Just bought my pit bull new food and water dishes. Good times.

I love this place!
They carry a lot of harder to find imported food items, things that your normal grocery store doesn’t carry.
They are the only place I find my favorite Gaucho Ranch brand Chimichurri. I would buy that stuff buy the barrel if they carried it.
They also carry some good German sausages and sauerkraut too.
They have reasonable priced wine and beer too.
The staff has always been extremely helpful and easy to locate. That’s always a plus.

Super helpful and attentive staff! Products are always beautiful and well made.

probably the best place to go in fresno to get various food items from foreign countries all in one place. i go for only one reason — framboise raspberry flavored lambic beer. nobody else has it (except for bevmo ive been told). they have it = im happy.

Okay, can I tell you how much I LOVE World Market?
They have a lot of fun unusual things here, and I will tell you what I love about World Market in bullet points.
–Their selection of candy from other countries:
I have traveled all over the world and have fell in love with candy from foreign countries. World Market sells these candies and it is a treat for me to go there and buy candy that I can’t find anywhere else.
–Unique gifts
I love buying gifts for others here because they are unique and there is a diverse selection of awesome gift ideas. For example, for Christmas I bought fun jewelry and a jewelry box for my sister, bbq stuff for my father, wall art for my mother, and an adorable porcelain tea pot for my mother in law and they all loved their gifts.
–Prices
Okay, so their rugs and furniture are pretty expensive but most rugs and furniture are expensive, but their kitchen supplies, frames, clocks, various cultural foods, wines etc… are all very fairly priced. I bought a beautiful ornate tea set for $ 12! …can’t beat that!
–Employees
Their employees are amazing! Today I made a basket for Father’s Day with wine, cheese, salami, and other goodies and not only was the employee who helped me look for a specific wine very helpful but the cashier was friendly and offered free gift wrapping! She called over another employee who wrapped our gift very nicely with a lot of beautiful filling and ribbon for free!
Love love love World market!

I suppose you can say it’s a mix between Bed Bath & Beyond, Ikea, and Teazers World Tea Market. It’s got a bit of everything; and a lot of items you won’t find anywhere else. From incense to chopstics, candles to pasta, soda pop to jewelery; you can pretty much find it here. Not to mention a good place to check out if you’re looking to refurnish your home.
It pretty much looks like a giant open warehouse and they have pretty decorations all over the walls. The employees are helpful and nice. It has a clean but home-​y atmosphere to it. I honestly love shopping here. I usually buy some of their soaps or incents but I also bought my desk here.
My suggestion is to go in and wander around. Don’t let yourself get too carried away by the ideas some of the items will give you, because I promise you will want to buy some cute but unnecessary things (I know I do.) And come in again when you really need something and you want it to look pretty and authentic.

When you need stuff this is the place for you. They have home furnishings, pictures, posters, toys, patio furniture, and even food. What a great store. I like it because they have things you won’t find just anywhere. The prices are usually pretty low.

I usually don’t buy a lot of stuff in here, but I love looking around. It’s a chain, sure, but it has it’s charm. The items that I have bought in here are pretty unique (sarongs, beaded coasters, etc.) and they have a huge selection of glassware and cute little things if you’re hosting a party.
It may cost a little extra, but if you’re looking for it, you’ll most likely find it here. Lots of great gift ideas here. Search in the back corners for some cool stuff you might not normally see. :c)
The employees were really nice on my last visit and spent a lot of time trying to help me find what I was looking for, even though they were pretty sure they didn’t have it.
Fun place to kill some time.
