So today, I followed her instructions , drove back with the Husqvarna pressure washer and a group of employees hovered around, discussing time off and when they would be leaving and told me that their computers cannot hold data/purchase information more than a few months and that Ollie's does not carry this brand. In other words, they do not have a protocol that they teach their representatives, their computers can only spit out advertisements and they consider customers liars. I hope not to go back to the Roanoke Ollie's. Lynchburg's associates are able to interact professionally and know their own policies.

Jefferson Street and Church Avenue this store provides friendly service, and a great selection of quality products at fair prices, and often offer sales to make it easier for customers to obtain their desired item at an affordable price. There is something for everyone at the Mast General Store: a great selection of preserves, butters, jams, jellies, clothing, footwear, outdoor gear, candies, old-time favorites, and the latest styles and products of over 600 brands. Here one can find some unique and hard-to-find gifts. Just view my photographs accompanying this review and you can get a better sense of everything one can find here. I highly recommend this large department store for a nostalgic shopping experience. One you'll never forget, and would want to come back for more.

You ask her a question and she huffs and puffs like it's too much trouble to answer. The prices are really high compared to buying a new items on sale at high-end stores. A lot of of the items need to be thrown away. Lots of the clothes are stained or have rips in them or they kind of smell, but they don't seem to care and they don't seem to want to be bothered about it. You definitely have to check out things in boxes. I looked at a couple games and it was missing 98% of the items but their attitudes really just suck about it.

I'm not sure how 'local' this place is, but I like to think they must come in handy for the nearby locals when they need something urgently but they don't want to have to drive all the way to the nearest Kroger and the Co-Op shop is closed. While pricing in general may not be most competitive, they seem to have most everyday essentials from bread and produce to cold meats and dairy. I also noticed that prices are per stickers on actual items, so looking for tags may not be too useful. I wish them well.

There's always plenty of high quality dog beds and slings at discount prices. Won't ever go anywhere else for those items!

After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I was also awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Too Many Books, a beloved independent used bookstore located in the heart of Roanoke's Historic Grandin Village, is a perfect example. Owned and managed by Linda Stedman for many years, this cozy, two-story bookshop features a massive inventory of approximately 50,000 used books, which include fiction and non-fiction. There one can easily find vintage paperbacks as well as hardcover books in categories such as children's literature, history, science fiction, art, and philosophy; with extensive sections dedicated to Virginia, Civil War history, and genealogy. I was very impressed with the selection of books which included: antiquarian books, leatherbound books, out-of-print titles, limited editions, first editions, signed books by the author, and other collectible ephemera. It was a pleasure meeting the owner who came across as a very warm and deeply knowledgeable bookseller, as well as her other friendly staff in this bookstore with a very inviting atmosphere and fair prices. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and its amazing merchandise. The store lists portion of its specialized inventory online via its AbeBooks Merchant Page. It also hosts author signings, literary discussions, and ocational major storefront sales. As a matter of fact it was holding one of those sales today where hardcover books were 20% off until the end of the month. I particularly liked a book by former Predident Barack Obama's Chief Official White House Photographer, Pete Souza, titled: "Obama: An Intimate Portrait." The author also served as an official photographer for President Ronald Reagan. The used book in almost new condition was selling for $50, so with the discount one could buy it for $40. One can check their official Too Many Books Instagram for events and most current inventory of books. I highly recommend this used bookstore, for its inviting ambiance, fair prices, and deeply knowledgeable and hospitable owner and staff.
