I actually liked the 4 star store when I visited. Because it stocked items that were highly reviewed it had the peculiar quality of being a showcase for tons of well-rated knock-off items. Like I saw no-name camping and kitchen gear that I had always wanted to get a close up look at to understand the quality and if it was worth the low price. These items were placed right next to bigger name brand stuff too which I'm sure infuriated their marketing and sales teams.
So it might have been a doomed concept from the start, but I'll miss having a physical showcase for cheap knock-off and import goods.
- gleenn 5y agoSeems that having the brick and mortar shop exposes how cheap the crap on Amazon is. I never regret going to a store for anything remotely expensive where I'm unsure of the quality. Amazon will always hover around just good enough and just cheap enough.

- Kluny 5y agoYeah, that actually sounds like a cool concept.
- bentcorner 5y agoI found it weird they named it "4 star". I get that it's 4 stars and above rated items, but the name gives the impression of "mostly ok, but not perfect".
