"I LOVE Homegoods! I venture to the store in Carrollwood to check out what they have new in the gourmet food section and to peruse their seasonal items. When I am looking for a piece of furniture or accessory to finish a room, it is the first place I go to!! I am really happy they are coming to my neighborhood!!" -- Tracy C.
