Really disappointing experience using a Groupon here. I have been buying plants here for years (probably at least 5) but I'm done now. I won't be back.
The Groupon they put out seemed like it would be a good deal. It said right on the certificate it wasn't good for sale items. Not usually a problem. Like I said, I've been shopping here for years, and I know they don't usually have anything at all on "sale" until the end of June. Well not this year. She decided to make most everything (ok, not veggies or trees, and not the $12-15 plants) "on sale" the day they opened. Another employee even confirmed that. Not to mention she jacked the prices at least $2 on everything, and then marked them down.
I had also purchased another Groupon for my mom as part of her mother's day gift, so between us we had 2 Groupons to use. Nearly impossible. If I had been able to return the Groupon and gotten my money back I would have. Not only was it hard to find something to buy that wasn't on sale, she wouldn't honor the groupon at the pop-up tent shop she has in Palmer because, and I quote "we have to go online to redeem those Groupons and someone could print one and use it in Palmer and then come here and use it again and we wouldn't know."
The owner's explanation of the sale prices to me was "we don't make enough money on the plants that are marked on sale if we honored those with the groupon." Well guess what? That money you got from Groupon was the last money you will ever get from me. I'm done. I hope the Groupon brought her lots of new customers because I'm sure I'm not the only dissatisfied (now former) customer. read more
