I love shopping at the rookwood location! The store always seems busy but the line at check out moves so quick! I don’t know how I didn’t know about this store. My favorite part is the staples knowing I can always find more of what I’m looking for! The spring kitchen stuff looks amazing

Customer service was great! I had a large transaction, and the one cashier I believe her name was LaTasha came over and help bag for the cashier Chandra and they were so cheerful and worked well together and made me feel the Christmas spirit. I told everyone to make sure they get one those young ladies when they go into World Market and LaTasha has a beautiful smile. Every time I come in, I look for that smile.

This store is located in Rookwood Commons, a popular spot for locals to shop. The shopping center houses dozens of stores offering every imaginable services. The parking lot is filled to the brim, and shoppers stroll the streets, making it difficult to find a good parking spot.

Despite its grand opening, the storefront is very unassuming with minimal decoration; a simple sign with the brand name “World Market” hangs over the entrance.

An associate stands near the main door, handing out exclusive shopping bags as souvenirs for the grand opening. The bag is made of inexpensive material but otherwise a nice gift to remember the occasion.

I notice the lack of shopping carts or baskets, only to be told they have run out. Fortunately, I have the souvenir bag to hold onto.

The interior is medium-sized and packed with mostly white people walking in groups. This seems to reflect the demographic of the area.

Three-quarters of the floor space is dedicated to home goods and furniture, which disappointed me as I had hoped for more food products.

The remaining quarter, however, had done it right. Shelves showcases a diverse collection of edible goods from around the world, including snacks, bakery items, dairy products, spices, coffee, tea, and more.

I bought a jar of guava jam made in Hawaii, a chocolate snack made in Austria, and a classic can of Danish butter cookies made in Denmark; things that I know are authentic and imported to the U.S. Interestingly, some products labeled as foreign were actually made domestically.

The aisle in the food section is not designed to accommodate such a large number of people at once. I felt very uncomfortable evading people just to reach the shelf I wanted to see, only to move again.

The wine and coffee collections stood out as the most authentic offerings in the store, although they weren’t top-tier or luxurious.

The rest of the store seems to consist of random odds and ends, but they probably bring the most profit to the store.

Customer service was standard but somewhat overwhelming. Personally, I prefer browsing without constant attention, but others may appreciate more assistance.

There are sample tasting booths that offer coffee, snacks, and free goodies to accommodate the long checkout line. I had to wait for half an hour, but it is understandable.

One thing I need to point out is the excessive solicitation for subscriptions. I’m sure they are eager to build a customer base, but being asked to sign up for the loyalty program every five minutes is really bothersome. For this reason alone, I can’t give the store a perfect 5-star rating, as much as I would like to.
