Islands Mercantile - Souvenir store in Johns Island - 544 Freshfields Dr, USA

Cute souvenir stuff, especially for kids! Great location and very friendly service!

The hospitality is great! Good prices and clearance racks...cause I love a good deal!!!

This was our second visit to the store. When we walked in, we were greeted by an older woman who was very nice at first. Ultimately, she began following my mother and I around the store. As we had previously purchased items there before, we were extremely confused as to why she was doing this. My mother decided to try clothes on and had multiple hangers and at this time, she was stalking her at the dressing rooms. I told her I liked a hat that was hanging higher than I could reach and she was extremely dismissive. “There’s hats in the smaller cubbies”, but I had kindly asked for help. She reluctantly grabbed the hat for me and i tried it on. At this moment, her eyes were on me like a hawk. At no point did my mother or I leave the store or hint at stealing the merchandise. We went up to the register to pay for our items and she had stopped paying attention to us. The young man at the counter was extremely helpful and rung up our items as well as helped us with any questions we had. After we had purchased the hat and a shirt, the older woman made a comment about us paying for the hat. Overall, it was an uncomfortable experience and we did not feel welcomed because of the lack of trust this woman had. As both my mother and I have years of experience in retail, we were taken aback by this behavior. My mother even made a point to say she had the receipt as proof that we purchased the hat. Great store, but poor treatment by this specific employee.

My go to shop when in Kiawah! I have been visiting the Island for 20+ years and this shop has the cutest merchandise. So many stickers and shirts to choose from! I also love how much merchandise they have in the clearance section. Most stores have ugly stuff on clearance but everything in this store is so cute! I love this entire store so much and stop in a few times when I am on the Island.

"THE" place to purchase Kiawah and Seabrook Island wears and gifts! Friendly staff and unbelievable variety of inventory.

Great Kiawah Clothing choices and good prices.

Friendly relaxed atmosphere. Taking appropriate precautions for all. Love the surprise I bought for my husband! And they had items for my granddaughter too.

Very friendly staff at this typical tourist gift shop. Solid range of Kiawah Island shirts if you're into wearing shirts from places you've visited. :)
