Sorry for the confusion (for those who thought I was still in Wilmington). I am in RALEIGH now! 
Do I miss the beach, Front Street, the Basin, Roy's, friends, etc... most definitely! But CRABTREE MALL is a much better place to do business vs the Westfield Mall (...sorry!). We've had more business in three months than we had in a year in the PREVIOUS place.
So I've moved. Easy decission! And for those who've never visited the store physically but who purchase online - you'll never know the diff! But if you're planning on making a visit to POPALOPS a part of your summer vacation (...we WERE on the New Hanover Co. tourism list of things to do & see in Wilmington) you may want to consider visiting the state capital! Afterall, there's LOTS to do & see here too! Not the least of which is the WORLD'S LARGEST GUMMI BEARS!
Hope to see you soon... in Raleigh!
