World Store

Small store but huge selection! Something for everyone on your shopping list. Lots of great books for young and old, high quality toys, birdhouses, and more. You may need to do several laps through the store to be sure you see everything!

I poked around, mostly window shopping at this point, but purchased a little bear I couldn’t resist. There were many other temptations for stocking stuffers and souvenirs that seemed good quality and good price. The store itself is quaint and has that distinct RI feel. Staff (owners?) were friendly, but what put it over the top was when I noticed I lost my little shopping bag from another store, they seemed genuinely concerned and helped me look. At the end of the day, as we were walking back to the car, he actually ran out and stopped us. He handed me the bag he found on his shelf! Taking the time to keep an eye out for me then running out like that was so sweet! I’m very thankful. I only get to Wickford a couple times a year these days, but that made me feel so welcomed in a little town I love to visit.

The World Store is chock full of Rhode Island and New England "things" that you will never find anywhere else. I am always surprised to find something new when I visit The World Store. Proprietor Dale Grogan is vivacious, outspoken and the unofficial "Mayor" of the Village. The toy and children's science department is amazing and a must stop to pick up that unique and special gift for the child in your life. My kids love the Hatch 'Em eggs. Dale's love of the outdoors (birds) and all things nautical adds those two dimensions to The World Store. If you are in the area, a must see and worth the time it takes to stroll in.
A visit to The World Store is always a happy one.

The owner does it all. Very friendly and also professional at the same time. I was in the store a couple of weeks ago and saw something I wanted to get as a gift. I called from out of state and described what I wanted. She knew exactly what I was talking about and took care of the sale over the phone. I will highly recommend this store .

Amazing store for kids and adults. Hands on science kits, games, and souvenirs. This is a great place to select gifts for holidays or birthdays, and everything is so unique and would be hard to find elsewhere. It's well worth stopping in.

We love the World Store for souvenirs, presents and all around fun! Prices are great, the owner and staff are friendly and helpful. Hope to get back soon!

Great selection of unique items from kids to adult

It's a fun place to visit!!!

Great store lots of stuff

It was a cute little store and it was fun to look around in.

Some old lady maybe around 97 was very rude to me and claimed I had heavy feet and that I should get out of the store as I was leaving she threw a biotic factor at me. This behavior is unacceptable and I will not be returning.

Rude employees
