    This store really stands by its customer service and experience... came here months ago with a friend and bought a spy family figure in the case for my son. The staff was courteous and I live in the Bay Area so when I got home to give it to my son unfortunately the box was empty and they didn't realize the box was for the toy in the case. I don't come to sac often and when I called them I let the know the mistake and they told me it would be under the counter. I finally remembered to pick it up on my trip today and unfortunately they could not locate the item -- it's been about 2 months. They offered to refund me and give me any figure in the same case (the potential cost was higher) and even offered to try and find me the item or a similar item. This above and beyond and I face timed with my son and chose a different item and I declined the refund since this was also well above my expectation. They still threw in a bunch of extras and were very courteous and apologetic. I am not current on a lot of the anime today or the comic books but I do take my son to comic book and anime and events and this community is really great. This place is a great local hobby/comic book shop and I wouldn't think twice about coming here. Thanks so much for adding to my sons collection :)

    Thank you guys! Very professional and upfront. I couldn't be any happier to finally open this product.

    Thank you guys! I couldn't be any happier. I was trying to get my hand on this product and you were very professional/helpful.

    First time to visit this place and I loved it. I actually came for the free comic book day and got 4 free comics. The place was nice, orderly and spacious. There's a lot of comics to choose from and I saw a lot of great deals.

    Collected during the 90's, mostly Jim Lee work and Silver Surfer. Finally came back, after building my career and family. This store blew me away- clean, organized, there was a wealth of all the major genres and mediums. Surprised to see some of the mixed reviews here on the customer service- my 1st experiences here were very welcoming so I picked up a few gems. Highly recommended!

My family and I frequent this place and find that the time does pass by here quite quickly...quite enjoyably. There are seating areas around where you can take a book for a spin before purchasing. There's just so much to enjoy... The place is brightly lit and well decorated. Apart from books, there's a lot more other things you can buy...vinyl records, toys, even model kits you can assemble in your spare time. And there is always the staff, friendly and knowledgeable about the store and its merchandise. The items are a little on the expensive side, but the quality is worth it. Summertime in Arden can get quite hot, but a relaxing visit to Barnes and Noble here in the Arden Fair Mall area is cool!

As someone who has loved reading since childhood, bookstores have always been a special place for me--and this location has never lost its charm. Whenever I'm near the mall, stopping in here is a must. It's honestly a little dangerous how easy it is to walk out with several books, so I have to pace myself--but that just speaks to how great their selection is. They consistently carry a wide variety of genres I enjoy, and I always find something that catches my eye. The staff have always been helpful and approachable. Whether I've needed help tracking down a specific title, requesting something not in stock, checking a price, or even signing up for a rewards card, they've made the process smooth and easy every time. Over the years, I've also loved seeing how they've expanded beyond books. There's a great selection of board games, anime merchandise, and other fun finds, which makes browsing even more enjoyable. The store is well-organized, and I have always loved that you can freely flip through books before deciding to buy. I've purchased everything from genre fiction to cookbooks, toys, and picture books for my son when he was younger--there really is something here for everyone with a love for stories and a bit of whimsy. Prices are fair, the quality is great, and I've even discovered new authors and series I wouldn't have found otherwise. This Barnes & Noble will always hold a special place in my heart. It's more than just a bookstore--it's a place full of memories.

    Scam scam scam…read more We were attending a small event at the mall. A staff approached my friends and I and said JCPenny was offering free photo special! After taking the photos. They attempted to charge us a bizarre package like $20 a person and some odd amount of copies. Huge ripoff! We argued the staff said free photos. And another staff said " no it's free to take" Maybe don't try to scam customers? An already dead mall and all you're doing is alienating people.

    Don't shop here we're watched on the cameras and girlfriend was harassed for having too many items…read morein the changing room. Instead of saying anything to her they went up to my 14 year old daughter and told us we all had to leave the premises because they didn't feel Comfortable with us being there. Meanwhile my girlfriend was at register paying while we tried looking for her in the changing room after she paid she went into the empty mall looking for us because we told her that's where we would be while she was trying on clothes mean while security follows us out assuming she was stealing for no reason no probable cause. Shame on JCPenney, its workers, and security in an empty store that's likely to close in an empty mall harassing people who are just trying to support your store a place we've shopped at since we were kids. DONT SHOP HERE. Let the store die with the mall it was completely empty we were the only ones in there on a Wednesday afternoon staff had nothing better to do than watch cameras and harass us when we spent money there. Don't shop
