Got talking about it in the Indian food thread, but figured it merited its own topic. They've got a store classified as 'Now Open' near the Panama City Mall. Which makes me a happy mouse because they carry some pantry staples for us that we can't find at other stores in the area.

It's kind of like a Pier 1, but with a beer & wine and non-perishables foods of the world section. We go through a lot of the Indian simmer sauces they carry as well as no salt added Japanese noodles, and fixings for Thai and other Asian foods. They're got a small British food section, and an excellent junk foods of the world selection that gets even better when they bring in the Christmas sweets.

Prices aren't great; if you can find it at Publix, it will probably be cheaper at the P. But they've got some unique stock. We had been heading to the store in Pensacola every 8-12 weeks, but it's more convenient for us to go to PC instead, and will make for a nice combo trip with Borders at Pier Park.

Anyone who's been in the OM house and seen our HUGE dining table.... it's from World Market! That and our telephone stands, our TV armoire....

That rocks b/c I didn't want to drive to P'Cola to get more cool furniture!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. OM and I love the Indian/Asian feel to their decor and the fact that most items are not veneers!

BTW, a similar but smaller dining table of the same wood was 3 times as much at Crate & Barrel.

:clap:Thanks for this thread! It just made my night and I'm doing the happy dance!:wave:
