This location could use some updating, such as electronic doors. Fast friendly checkout with associate Uriah. I had questions about return policy and he was quite helpful.

I hadn't been to a Big Lots in years. They have an interesting array of merchandise. I was most…read moreimpressed by their candy selection. They carry a lot of nostalgic varieties of candy and brands you just don't see anymore. I'm not sure why, but they do. The most amazing thing I got was Wacky Wafers. They were one of the original Willy Wonka candies and just as delicious as I remember. Other than the candy I'm not sure what I'd buy here but I'm sure if I walked around something would jump out.

We came here to find stocking stuffers and I think this is a good place for that. Its really big and pretty organized. Lots of different things for all age groups. Electronics, games, candy, toys, home decor... you name it. When checking out, you can pay cash or card but it's self checkout. Just make sure if you are using cash that you use a self checkout that takes cash.

I will always browse five below for home decor and exercise/electronics items. New location for me…read more Staff friendly, and store well lit. In my opinion carts are getting harder to push in the locations I've tried, seem like they need new wheels . No new inventory so I just window shopped today. Prices do vary and it's not the original five and below. Pull those cards out you will need it :)

This is a rough Dollar General location. Very small, crowded, and outdated. Same good deals, but…read moremuch less space and breathing room than, say, the University City location. I wouldn't come back unless it gets updated. Cashier was friendly.

Ollie's is a liquidation store that has some of everything. They have pet supplies, household…read moreitems, books, toys, car supplies, and more. Prices are lower than or comparable to major retailers. I've been to this location a couple of times but today, the store was picked over and very unorganized. I had a hard time looking for anything. They do have a lot of stock that needs to be put away as it was sitting on pallets towards the back of the store, so you couldn't access the shelves with product they were sitting in front of. I'm not sure If they are short staffed, but I'll have to come back at a later date to see if I'm able to find anything worth buying.

If a Marshall's and a thrift store married, Gabe's might be their offspring. All merchandise is new…read morehere but it's haphazardly organized with sometimes very limited availability of sizes, styles, or quantities. Gabe's is massive with a slight warehouse feel. When I walked in, the far corner seemed a shuttle ride away. Patience is necessary at Gabe's. For example, despite row after row after row of shelves of mens shoes I never found a pair in my size where they were supposed to be. Different sizes were all over the place. Also, some styles I liked I couldn't find in my size. Still, there were some impressive premium brand names like The North Face and Red Wing. They sat alongside shoes made of all synthetic materials and clearly intended for "value price" retailers. The mens clothing section provided a similar experience. Racks were so jam-packed with items it was difficult to browse them. A quick circuit of the store disclosed household, pet, and pantry items; toys; foods and pantry stuff, kitchen wares; garden products; and other things that seemed to be clearance, close-out, or overstock inventory. I'll be back to see what treasures I missed.

I've never heard of Gabe's it was in the area so we stopped by. It's like in between a goodwill and…read moretj maxx but much much closer to goodwill on the spectrum. The feel inside is that of goodwill where it's musty but the clothes have multiple sizes so you know they weren't donated. Looked like a dumping ground for clothes that wouldn't sell at their respective brand stores or tj maxx. The deals are insane but it was hard to shop because the signage would say sizes XS-S but then sifting through the clothes they hard larges and mediums mixed in in the pants, coats, t shirt, dress shirts... every section. With a little cleaning and organization I think it would be more welcoming to shop. This place replaced Gordman's and it's unfortunate because that place was much much better in every category.

TJ Maxx is definitely a hit-or-miss kind of place, but that's part of the fun. Sometimes you walk…read morein and find amazing deals on name-brand items, and other times it's a little harder to come across something that really stands out. When you do find something good though, it feels like a win. The prices are great, and there's always a mix of clothing, home goods, and random gems to browse through. The store itself can be a bit bare at times, especially in the men's section and fur-baby treat aisle. If you're willing to take your time and dig around, you can score some really good finds. Overall, it's a solid spot at times if you enjoy bargain hunting and don't mind a little searching.

I like this TJ Maxx, I tried on eight tops and left with four. Sometimes I find nothing and…read moresometimes I find a lot. It just depends and you have to just keep going because the stock changes so quickly. I probably go once a month. I really enjoy looking around the purse and jewelry section and also the home items area. I always leave with a little bit of extra something I didn't know I needed! Haha!

This Daiso seems perhaps a bit larger than the Daiso in Wentzville…read more Visiting Daiso reminds me of my first trips to Dollar Tree in the late 1990s. I'm wowed by the merchandise. It's so much fun. But unlike at Dollar Tree in the late 1990s, I don't know the prices of the items until I look at the items and then look at the price charts. Those were innocent times. Anyway, plenty of snacks, miscellanea, and... stationery at Daiso!!!
