DO NOT BUY! I bought a Paul Skenes rookie card in a mag case and it came damaged. I bought from…read morewhatnot. I've spend hundreds on their streams. I repeatedly messaged them asking to look at my message and they said they would "hook me up". Apparently they looked at my message 3 weeks later and they decided to block me because they knew they make a mistake and didn't want to own up. Actually thinking about it this whole store is trying to rip you off. I buy "mystery packs" from them and they put on "good card" on top and the rest are duplicates or garbage. Maybe donate them to a school or a children's hospital. Do better

I had a strange experience at the Hot Corner. An older guy and 2 younger guys were working and one…read moreof them was pretty responsive to questions about selling cards and buying specific cards. The younger guy asked the older guy about where to find these cards. He told the younger guy, then nothing happened. I stood around for 15 minutes and left when it was clear none of them were interested in my business. They have a ton of very cool autographed bats, balls and other memorabilia that seem to be priced really fairly. This would probably be my first stop if I was looking for a specific players autograph. There aren't a lot of card shops to consider these days, but I will not likely revisit these guys. It seems the bust in card value has hurt the morale as much as the actual business. Coming here felt like a giant waste of time, despite trying to go local instead of online.

This is one of the small-format Targets that have been popping up all over NYC, so selection is…read moremore limited. I don't really browse at these smaller stores, but instead check the inventory online first and then go there to get specific things, which helps manage expectations. We came here because, despite the smaller size, they were the only one in South Brooklyn that had all of the school supplies we were looking for. We were able to order almost everything online in advance, and order pickup was straightforward. For the one item that was too limited in inventory to be available for pickup, I was never able to find it in the store, and searching for it was a bit frustrating, which is how I usually feel just "shopping" at the small-format stores (and why I stopped). The store is two floors with entrances on both 13th and 14th. No parking though, and not an easy area to find street parking. Employees were fine, even if not the most friendly. Not a lot of mask wearing here, unlike some other stores. I think if we return here, it will just be for order pickup.

This Target location is by far the worst! They have poor customer service and pick up is always a…read morenightmare! The one slim cashier who wears glasses and Hispanic boy with stink breath annoys me. They never want to do pick up properly. There was no one at pick up and I had to scream for someone to help me after waiting for 15 minutes while the cashiers looked at me. In fact I did pick up 2 days ago and the little girl had the nerve to tell me to come over to her so she can scan my bar code and then proceeds to throw my groceries in my cart including throwing my eggs! Little girl you're lucky my patience is top tier. Corporate will hear about this! I've had enough of letting all these passive aggressive behaviors slide! I will not tolerate being treated like a random customer and not a valued one of over 5 years of shopping here. Do your job or leave if you don't like it!

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by David, and he proceeded to help me out. Got me set up with a nice black suit, as well as a 2nd blue suit,(2 for 1 sale), a black tie, and suspenders,(yes, I'm that old). David was very helpful, friendly and patient with me. Suits are high quality, and all tailoring was done and ready for pickup in 1 day. Are they a little expensive, yes, but the alternative is shopping at a mall with hundreds more people, not too knowledgable sales staff, and questionable quality and tailoring. Highly recommend Kings Row for all your suit needs.

Great Service. Great Quality! Will surely be back. Suits were comfortable. Thank you very much.read more

I was told that they did not have any boxes at first and then the owner mysteriously found one and then I was told by the wife (?) that I would have to tape it up.

So I turned to the owner again and asked if they would tape up the package if I watched and he said, "For $5.00". I said, "What?! THAT'S EXTORTION!" And he said, "That's why we don't do it".

The workers always know their stuff when it comes to sneakers, what variations in styles are available and such, and what colors come with each style that might not be advertised. Footlocker doesn't sell as much team apparel as it used to, but there's still a small section for that if you prefer to waste money on a Carmelo Anthony jersey! Good place to get the latest and hottest sneaker or even less popular favorites.

That made him feel very comfortable and confident with his purchase. Even during her break, she came back to check on us and make sure we were doing well, which really shows her dedication and professionalism. My dad left the store very happy and grateful. It's great to see a place that still values genuine customer service like this. We will definitely be coming back.
