“According to the associate I asked, this store opened in October 2022. This is a larger DT, bigger than two of the three in Brunswick. They have some expanded departments over the three Brunswick stores, which was really helpful because I visited the Glynn Ave store earlier and couldn't find the gift tissue paper colors I wanted. SSI store had a nice selection and wrapping paper and ribbons in expanded selections that Glynn Ave didn't. I was also able to find reusable bags that I use in place of gift bags because they're stronger for heavy gifts, and last more uses than paper gift bags (which I know people reuse, but which end up creased and not great looking to reuse). I don't think I'm the only one to do this gift bag trick because the reusable ones are normally sold out, but there was a decent selection at this SSI store.I believe the Brunswick stores carry more food selections but the SSI store has a huge toy aisle, and very large aisles for other departments as well. It was extremely clean when I was there. Employees were friendly, and helpful.I'm glad for a DT on SSI, especially in an existing shopping center because years ago they were attempting to build in a lot that was claimed by St. Simons Land Trust as greenspace, and many are grateful that land got saved, but now there is a DT and green space too!”
