This is a great place to get together when getting something special for families on all occasions and holidays and more. It has a friendly and community oriented atmosphere. But I wish they wouldn't make their jib applications so difficult to fill out . I wish they make it easier so people can get jobs there . There are only three locations left . Olney , Rockville, And Germantown , Maryland. We have to support these stores while they still exist before they are gone forever . These stores are dying because of too much internet access stuff instead if goung in person ro support .

Did you ever have a friend that you have trouble finding the perfect birthday card for? Well, I do…read moreand ever year I wander through the aisles looking for the perfect card. Hallmark, by far, has the best selection of greeting cards. I have a huge thank you to Shanti. She patiently helped me find just the right card. It was perfect. Shanti was so nice and patient. We looked at a Lot of cards. But, we finally found a Quill card. That is artwork made with string. I feel a little dumb, because I didn't take a picture of the card, before I sent it. But, it was beautiful with butterflies and flowers on the cover. Thank you, Shanti. If you need a special card or gift, I highly recommend this Hallmark store. The prices are a little higher, but you get well made and unique items.

The selection of lines they carry is amazing and, very frankly, the prices are a bit lower for the exact same pieces as you will find at upscale stores. To top it off, your gift will be beautifully wrapped and topped with a full, unique and classy bow at no extra charge. As someone who bemoans the loss of smaller retail shops who concentrate on customer service, I'm thrilled that Ann Sandra thrives!

For reference, I am 104 lbs and fit into a small. It was $89 and not on sale so I am going to wait until next holiday to see if I can it for a discounted price. The staff were so warm and welcoming. I was greeted upon entering and asked if I would like to have a fitting room started. Although, I didn't make any purchases I was greeted warmly upon leaving. They have trendy and high-quality merchandise including a section for sale items. This location is organized and orderly. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
