The West

Sad to see such a negative review. This is a nonprofit that supports local charities and all the women who work in the store are volunteers. I am sorry the customer thought it was okay to drink in this beautiful store. Many stores have signs at the door requesting no food or drinks allowed. The West has the BEST needlepoint canvases and threads and many unique gifts. It is a treasure. Just remember to leave your drink at the door and don’t miss this shop.

Yikes I was excited to write this review until I saw the only other review on this store… I can see where perhaps the worker became concerned with this other patron and her drink but who doesn’t know most stores are not drink friendly. I understand though, the store is very small and packed with sights to see and the people who work there are a bit older and they are all volunteers. This business is a non profit that supports very good causes around Tucson It is mainly a sewing store specializing in cross stitching which I know nothing about but I have buying their gifts for years and years. I was going to tell others that if you need a unique gift for a special person this is a great place to look! They have wonderful cards and baby items as well as great crafted items that are hard to resitst. I am sorry that lady had a bad experience because that has never happened to me usually it’s the opposite, they are so friendly! The store is located in the Whole Foods shopping center and so small you would go right by by check it out, you will be delighted! The other cool thing, the prices are already reasonable but you don’t pay sales tax because of the non profit status. Whoever SC is, give them another chance, this store definitely deserves this communities business.

Unilocal needs to allow negative stars. I was treated so rudely by an employee this morning. This was my first time in the store. I will never return again. It is my mission to tell everyone I know to never support this business. I was looking through the store, browsing the items. Suddenly, I was very aware of someone right behind me, within inches of me. She wasn’t saying a word, just inches from my face on my heels. I finally turned around, she stared at me not saying a word. I finally asked her what she needed from me. She refused to speak for a few minutes, while I literally stared at her. I then realize she’s an employee. She was not there to welcome me or offer any assistance. She looked me up and down from head to toe and pointed at my drink. She said «you cannot be in here with that, you need to leave.» The drink I was holding had a few sips remaining and had a lid on it. I walked out to never step foot near there again. Please spend your money at another business within River Center. This store does not deserve your business.
