I've always had friendly service as well. A surprise many don't know is that the art section is very good. Especially if you have a budding artist. Paints and brushes for good prices. And cute shelving or pillows for around $10 each. Today I got a cute Tshirt and a few items for my doula bag that were pricey at other stores.

I happened into BoxLunch last week before they had their grand opening. The store is filled with…read morelots of licensed pop culture merchandise including Star Wars, Disney, Harry Potter, etc. Turns out it's a sister store to Hot Topic and for every $10 spent the store donates a meal to a person in need. I like that! I started looking around and I really liked what I saw. One of the sales girls started following me around the store. I'm 41 and I can basically buy whatever I want. It makes me nervous to be followed around a store like a teenager. I left. The following day I went on their website and placed an order. It came very quickly (5 days with a weekend in the middle of it.) I'm thrilled with my merchandise and wouldn't hesitate to order again. I especially love to patronize a company with a social conscience. If anyone involved with this company ever reads this I get that shoplifting is a huge problem in shopping malls but making someone want to be in your brick & mortar location is important too!

This store is bigger than what you may expect. It is divided in two--majority of inventory in…read morefront and large gaming area in back. Both areas are spacious with high ceilings. Inventory consists of newer comics, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, art books, board games, trading card games, toy figures, statues, model kits, and model paints. Items not in stock can be ordered for you. There is a long wall displaying the latest issues of comics, and there are boxes of back issues. They focus on newer comics, so you will not find older comics here. If you plan to get an ongoing comic series, then it is recommended that you use the pull-and-hold service and create a pull list. Most comic shops offer this service and can reserve and set aside titles for you to pick up at your convenience. Pull lists and subscriptions help comic shops determine which titles and quantities to order for the entire store.

This is much more than a comic store. If you are looking for collectibles from pop culture, you have come to the right place. Throughout the store they have different figures and other toys. This place is also the Funko Pop palace! They have a huge assortment of the highly collectible and cool vinyl figures. The staff are friendly and very helpful! Great customer service!

They make really good Starbucks coffee and have really good food! I love all the food they have here especially the desserts! My favorite are their cookies and cheesecake! I also love their quiche too! It's seriously the best! Only downfall for this location is that it's not affiliated with actual Starbucks so you can't use your Starbucks card. PS: they need to bring back their tiramisu! It was the best tiramisu I've ever had in my life and I've travel the world for good tiramisu lol

We arrived an hour after the store had opened, there was no long line or crowd. I found the vinyl I wanted and my mom found something she liked too. I also wanted to point out that the person working the register was really really nice and super helpful. It seemed like the store had a large variety of interesting items so we will definitely be back.

I have no complaints of the service I received. However, I was waiting for my car to be finished when I saw a gentleman bring in my keys. He was unfriendly with me, even just as I smiled at him .. I didn't think much of it, just ignored it. A few minutes later, he jumped on a worker for "not working", while two tires were sitting by the desk. As the worker defended himself and said he was actually working with customers, the man said to him, "don't make excuses, just work." The other man said, "I'm not making excuses, Dom, I've been working." Dom, a word of advice to you - don't call out or belittle your team member in front of customers. Customers that have been sitting in seats, watching this man work behind the counter, asking the other young lady which tires were which, so that he could do the necessary paperwork. This isn't a good look for you, sir. It is unprofessional and it is also abusive to your coworker. It was, I am sure, embarrassing for him and it shouldn't be done at all. Do better.

I was here again recently. I had leftover shelves from a shelving unit I purchased off of Amazon a…read morefew years ago. After ordering and receiving the wrong poles for the shelves from Amazon, I decided to see if I could find them here. They indeed did have them, let me take my shelf into the store to see if it would work with their system, and it did. They have the ability to cut the poles to your specified size. Again, I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 due to price. I still maintain that they sell quality items here, so be prepared to pay for that quality. I did join their loyalty program, which includes 20% off of purchases. Since 4 poles cost around $120, I got $20 off, which makes it more palatable. Not everything in the store is hugely expensive, and it is an organizer's dream store.
