I've been shopping here for a few years and like it quite a lot. The only problem I've been having…read morerecently is the store hours. I have showed up more than 5 times during "Store Hours" and have always been disappointed with no one there. It really pains me that the schedule isn't clear and consistent

First off, I want to say the selection is fantastic, and the individual I worked with was…read moreknowledgeable, and pretty friendly. The store was a disaster though, I understand that the space is small, but not only is it a bit of a mess, but it's also rather cluttered. Combine those factors with the shelves far too close together (both an accessibility and fire hazard), and you get a rather unpleasant time shopping. Play space seemed good, but solely as a shopper this place was a disaster.

The book store, I am NOT an avid paper bound book reader, but i appreciate picking one up from time…read moreto time. For my taste they had plenty of titles organized well by genre. I do also like that they have manga section that myself and my god daughter etc can run thru to get her the next chapter she needs in whatever series. If they don't have it they can order it. The B&N on the South shore near me closed down and it sort of sad to see. I like the smell of brand new books in a bookstore. They have bunch of collectibles, legos, funko pops and other figurearts! The Starbucks we ordered 3 drinks, the did forget the simple syrup in two of them so it's more was definitely straight matcha which is fine, healthier without the sugar haha. It definitely took longer than other locations with no line. The cafe also offers more food the your normal Starbucks as well. Staff was alright, didn't seem the most friendly on our visit.

Barnes & Nobles right by Northshore Mall in Peabody served as a decent caffeine stop for us!…read moreHaven't been inside this Barnes & Nobles in YEARS but doesn't look like much has changed. It's definitely a more dated store but seemingly had decent inventory of novels + great kid-friendly selection. They have a Starbucks inside, with only two workers but only one person working the front and also making the drinks. Expect a little bit of a wait because of this. We ordered three drinks: one caramel ribbon crunch Frappuccino & two iced matcha lattes w/ strawberry cold foam. Took about 10 min, so definitely longer than your typical stand alone Starbucks. Matcha lattes had no sweetener, though it normally comes w/ simple syrup but no problem, healthier this way anyways haha. My caramel frappe was very sweet + kept leaking out of the cup. Staff was okay, didn't find them to be that friendly. Overall, I can see this being a great spot to sit + read a book as it's pretty quiet in here & has drinks + food too. Just note if you're ordering food/drinks, just keep in mind it might take some time to be ready.

They do have a $10 card minimum, so it's good to bring cash if you're just picking up a small item. Overall, a really nice local-feeling shop that's fun to walk through whether you're a tourist or a local.

Cute store. Zero customer service. I walked in on a Sunday…read moreand 2 workers were on their phone. No one looked up or said hello. One worker was sitting on the counter. I know these stores are privately owned and I wanted to shop there for that reason. I asked the girl a question and got an unfriendly attitude. I got the vibe that she was annoyed to be working. I went for an infant toy and the selection for infants was very low. I drove an hour to get to this store and it was not worth the trip. I guess I'll be ordering from Amazon after all.

Since getting involved with playing different TCG's games, I have been coming to Harrison's…read moreconstantly for all my related goods. I have participated in several events that they have hosted and with the massive collection of goods, I always feel like there's something for me to buy! In addition to their selection, the amazing communities, welcoming employees and environment, it is my go to shop! That being said, while I love the store, there is one glaring problem I've been experiencing. The basement, where I usually spend most of my time, has become unbearable! The heat always seems to be on max at all times or the ac isn't ever on and this issue has gotten to the point that I can't spend more than 5 minutes without sweating. Because of that, it loses a star on my review. I hope they can fix this issue especially with summer on its way!

Harrison's is such a gem- My son and I enjoy coming here every time we are visiting Salem! The…read morestore is huge with two floors and something for everyone. The second floor (downstairs) is packed with Pokémon cards and other trading cards sold as singles and in bulk, plus they host battles there which is awesome. Upstairs you'll find collectibles and more, from comic books and records to books and fun novelty toys. Super nostalgic, very well organized, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. If you're in Salem and into comics, cards, games, or pop culture, this place is definitely worth checking out!

The glass fixtures throughout the whole store are packed w/ collectibles that are so unique & rare! It honestly feels like wandering through a museum where everything is cooler than the last. There's 2 floors of pure awesomeness (w/ no shortage of things to admire)! From rare comics to jaw-dropping action figures, every corner has a WOW moment. It's the kind of place where you want to take your time & stare at every display.If you love comics, collectibles, or just stuff that makes your inner nerd scream w/ joy, this store is an absolutely must see! Pricing went up from the last time I was here but honestly what hasn't. Prepare to spend a good amount of bucks b/c once you see everything it's hard to leave empty-handed. Visiting here has officially become a tradition for me every year when I'm in Salem & I def can't wait to go back!

Silver Moon Comics is basically what happens when Walmart action figures put on a horror mask and…read moremove to Salem. The walls are crammed with figurines, masks, and memorabilia--some genuinely cool, some you could find online for half the price if you can spell "Amazon." But hey, Salem tax is real, and apparently nostalgia comes with a surcharge. The store itself is brightly lit, which sort of kills the "spooky collectible" vibe and makes it feel more like you're shopping in a dentist's waiting room with masks on the wall. Window displays draw you in, but once inside it's a quick lap and you're done. Definitely not a place you'll get lost digging through hidden treasures--unless you consider Funko Pops a rare find. The staff? Friendly, technically. If they talk to you at all. Some days you'll get a warm hello, other days you'll wonder if you accidentally broke into the store after hours. Overall: it's fine. Quick in, quick out, nothing offensive but nothing remarkable. Three stars for existing, charging too much, and reminding me that in Salem, even plastic monsters cost a premium.
