Foothill Mercantile - Grass Valley (CA)

5 /5 Kristen Adams, Realtor: The Mercantile is a downtown Grass Valley favorite for the young and old alike. Upstairs is a kid’s wonderland with toys, games, stuffies, and project kits. Downstairs is everything from a candy counter to yard art to dish towels to knick knacks and much more. A great place to find a gift for just about anyone!

1 /5 Bill “Bunky BB2” Miller: Tried to Overcharge me! Warning: Check to make sure they charge you the price marked. They rang up an item marked $24 with a 75% discount sticker. Total charged was $9. Thats not 75% Off. Beware of young lady (20s?) cashier with a TERRIBLE attitude who argued with me, saying that the scanned items original price was $34 so the $9 is what I owe, take it or leave it. After observing our debate (computer-entered price vs sticker price), an older lady came over & fixed the price to $6 because they forgot to change the sticker from $24 to $34. WTH?! Regardless, Ill never shop there again because of the HORRIBLE & rude attitude from the first cashier. She thinks shes all that and a bag of chips. Your stuff looks used & is overpriced. SHOPPERS BEWARE & check the charges before paying!

5 /5 Josh MacLean: Great selection of toys and memories. We were in town visiting family and this place was a real highlight for the kids. Selection includes stuffed animals, wooden models, puppets, horses, games, puzzles, and loads of miniature houses ( think Christmas mini houses ). No Lego, but I understand not wanting to tie up space and money in something they can buy anywhere. The employees were helpful too. Come in and make or rediscover some memories like we did.

5 /5 Raybies Flynn: I love this store and the fact that it is still open after all these years. I used to come in to buy candy, as a kid. I am now turning forty years old. My boyfriend and I went in recently to buy solar eclipse glasses. We purchased them for $3.99 each. A fare price for ISO approved glasses. The staff if always friendly and the store is always clean.

5 /5 Gi Di: Grass Valley Games sent me here when looking for a GIANT Jenga a couple months back when I had family in town. Are they the cheapest? That’s not their goal, but the price was comparable to the online giants when I checked afterwards, and my family would’ve been gone before the arrival. This game has given us so much joy! The staff at the store were incredible and they have a wonderful selection of everything! This store is a gem and you should definitely support them over Amazon, plus you’ll have it same-day and know the quality before you purchase!
