After moving, my change of address notification from USPS came with a bunch of coupons, one of which was 20% off at Pier 1.  Since I can almost see the store from where I live now, I thought I would go and check it out.  \n\nLocated in Promenade at Providence, Pier 1 is in a corner space close to the entrance at the light off of Ballantyne Commons Pkwy.  With two entrances, one on the main flow of traffic and one near the Beauty Brands side of the building, there is plenty of parking.\n\nGreeted as soon as I walked in the door (and then left alone to shop - thank you!), I started my search.  I wasn't sure what I needed, I just knew I needed something.  However, this store is overwhelming.  As with most Pier 1 stores, because they carry various sizes of items, the stuff is crammed in with barely passable aisles and stacked to the rafters.  A wide variety of mirrors, candles and accessories, furniture, very cool lamps, kitchen items and every knick knack imaginable... it was sensory overload for me.  They had quite a selection of clearance items, things that were reasonably priced and some things I had to snort at when I saw the price tag.  After a day of running errands, I couldn't decide on anything - the next time I venture out, I will make Pier 1 my first stop instead of my last so my brain isn't fried.  Seriously... a LOT of items.  A.  Lot.  \n\nThe store was clean, the employees were friendly, a lot of unusual and quirky items (lots of OWLS - very cool!).   As usual the customers were snotty and rude - \"pardon me\" seems to be a phrase of the past, but you can't blame that on the store - only in a society that doesn't keep score and gives ribbons to everyone just for participation.\n\nGreat store - I shall return!
