eCosway

I’ve passed by this store for several years but never went in because there was nothing attracting me to do so. I thought it was another useless Chinese knick-​knack store of stuff that I shouldn’t be wasting my money on. Oh ho ho, how wrong I was! It wasn’t until my cousin started shopping at the eCosway that opened up at Atlantic Times Square that I found out what their merchandise was. Stuff that’s right up my alley!
It’s such a small store, akin to a miniature CVS, minus the pharmacy aspect. It sells household items, vitamins and personal care thing. The reason it’s special is because the products are high quality, it’s eco-​friendly, the food is organic and/​or fair trade and the prices are so rock-​bottom it’s amazing. I couldn’t believe all the great stuff they had.
A husband and wife run the store (it’s an international chain). I haven’t met the wife but the husband is quite the friendly man. We had a great conversation and he offered to teach my kids Chinese for free, saying that he started teaching it to neighborhood children after enrolling in PCC to improve his English and his instructors there found his Chinese skills good enough to be their teaching assistant.
This is definitely a place that I will be frequently much more often, especially since it’s so close to us that it’s just convenient and smart to do so.
