I mean, you can't even get through the door without being in amazement. Lots of fun puzzles lots of fun card games, tons of little knickknacks and very family friendly . kids love window shopping, just cruising around at all of the different options and I couldn't imagine anyone not finding something that they enjoy here . Staff is always super helpful places always spotless. Definitely stop by.

I just went there again this morning looking for Sea Monkey (Krill) aquariums for the kids and they had three different types! I couldn't find them anywhere else in town except BiMart, which only had 1 type. The price was essentially the same as BiMart, with a much better selection. Given the choice to spend my money at a small locally owned business, I'll choose the small business every time.

This is a wonderful store to purchase gifts and household goods! I volunteered here for awhile as…read morewell. The store has a couple paid managers but the rest of the staff are volunteers and all of the merchandise is fair or direct trade.

This brand new bookstore just opened. I was curious, so I checked it out…read more It's all bright and clean and new. The workers seemed friendly and there were quite a few other customers there, within an hour of opening. But it never seemed crowded and remained pretty quiet. Here and there they have chairs and tables, so it could be a nice place to sit down with a book for a while. The rows are not straight, so it was a little hard to navigate the store. There were lots of books, but also lots of other things on sale. Puzzles, toys, records, pop culture gifts, and stationary/journals. They had a whole Harry Potter section with the books, of course, but lots of other Potter paraphernalia, like toys, mugs, etc. The signage over some of the sections was missing letters, I think whatever adhesive they used to affix the letters had issues with the curving surface of the book shelves. This store also had lots of events with authors on their event calendar. The cafe seemed like it had the regular snacks and beverages on offer, but I didn't look too hard at the menu. I don't really buy books much anymore (recovering book hoarder here), but this seems like a good addition to the bookstores in the area. I was a little surprised to hear of a new corporate bookstore opening up, but I see they are covering their bases a bit by selling tons of other gifts (and food) along with books. I bet this place will be packed leading up to the holidays!

Although I am fanatical about giving my trade to independent bookstores, I have regularly purchased…read morehere. It fills a niche in the book market. If a hot book hits the market, the holds at the library will stack up six deep and you have to wait a year to borrow a copy. Also, the library is no longer a reference library, and if you want a classic out of the past, you can find it here. New books are expensive, but that is not this firm's fault. I enjoy getting a coffee and reading my purchase before I leave. The bathrooms need a code for access but employees have been gracious in giving it to me and indeed the behavior of all the employees has been impeccable. I invariably leave in an enhanced mood.

I had time to kill before picking up my daughter and was drawn in by their Antiques sign. The front…read moreroom was charming, decorated with unique pieces of art and decor, with a vintage silver Christmas tree just waiting to be decorated. My eyes darted around the room at all of the interesting pieces of their collections. There was a hall filled with more antique sculptures, vases and artwork that led to their main room that was busting at the seams with years of collections, carefully organized. They had everything from Mid Century Modern lamps to Native and western art, books and photos, vintage mugs and glassware, clothing and toys, vases and chotskies galore. The sign out front was somewhat confusing, I didn't know whether I was walking into an antique shop or an appliance repair shop, but apparently its both. There was a washer and dryer for sale, but they were also being used to display vintage pieces for sale. I spent quite a while perusing the aisles, and found a few new Tiki cups to add to my collection, a nice orange planter and some vintage calendars from 1968 & 1972 full of colorful prints. I love finding clever one of a kind gifts, and am sure my friend will appreciate receiving a memento from the year of her birth.
