East Putnam Variety

Been going here since I was 2, in am 20 now! Rob is great he’s still there with the parrot that is 25 years old! Great memories at this shop and always have amazing gag gifts and sweet treats. Hoping East Putnam Variety is open for many more years so I can bring my kids one day!

We have loved and still love this store and the AWESOME owners Bob, Rob and Wendy (whom we miss) and not forgetting ‘Jay’ the Parrot — They were a welcoming force when we first arrived in Greenwich which was 15 years ago! They continue to be just as AMAZING! The store has a plethora of items for every basic need and not to mention ALL THE PARTY NEEDS and BALLOONS (for which they are quite famous for!) to celebrate one’s special event! Greenwich truly wouldn’t be the same without them in town!

EPV supplies balloons for events at my job. Once it was a very last minute request on our part and they got it done! They will suggest ideas to make your event the best ever. They have great selections and their balloon creations look amazing!

Such a wonderful experience during this quarantine. Rob came and delivered balloons for my little guys 4th bday. He definitely made this less than exciting birthday a bit more exciting 🎈

If for nothing else, the gentlemen who own it, are worth stopping in to see! Beyond that you'll find any balloon you want and just about anything else you need!

My first time shopping with this local store for party balloons.. whoever was begind the counter lacks customer service skills. I stood in front of a gentleman for at least 5 minutes, while he was on the phone, before even being acknowledged. When I went to pick up my order, again, I tried to get his attention while he was on the phone only to get a response of “ I’m on the phone”
I don’t think I’ll go back.

Man behind the counter is rude
