Walking in, getting the smell of fresh coffee from Starbucks mixed with the smell of new books! Just something that can't be replicated! I obviously love this place for its extensive library, but the packs of trading cards ranging from Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh to nearly any Sports card you'd be looking for is what really puts the cherry on top for me! This is definitely a hidden gem when it comes to looking for sealed packs! I'm hesitant to reveal just a bit LOL, but I feel like I would want to know where the honey holes are!

She never said hello or welcomed us, or any of the other customers in.

If you're into collectibles, they have a huge selection of Funko Pops, and their video game section is a solid find for collectors too. If you love a good bargain, this place is a must. Buying used is not only budget-friendly, but it's also a win for the environment. Highly recommend!

There was a huge selection of books, music, Funko Pops, and tons of other items. The prices were reasonable, though, some of the plushies were ridiculously priced. (e.g., the little stuffed insect plague doctor has been $35 for a few years now ). Anyway, I wanted to shout out a special thank you to the employee who found my phone, immediately put it in the safe, and called the number I left on the lock screen to get it back to me. I was very touched by the thoughtfulness of those involved. I wanted to say thank you again

The commercials are deceptive, they tout name brand items, but I only found a few I recognized. This store was incredibly messy, disorganized and dirty. I saw stained and ripped clothing, see pics. I got dizzy trying to shop here... and I love shopping, bit everything was a wreck, nothing in order, sizes mixed up, racks everywhere with no rhyme or reason! This store made Ross look like Nordstrom! The only reason I have it two stars rather than one, is because the prices are inexpensive despite the cheaply made fabrics on the majority of the clothes. And the other star is for the variety, housewares, garden things, etc. But I left empty handed because I saw nothing worth purchasing. Kudos to you if you can navigate this disaster.
