The space is small and cluttered but they are working on expanding to an upstairs area. Located on Van Dyke near Hall Road across from Trinity Lutheran church, there is plenty of parking in the back. The store personnel are pleasant and knowledgable. Do you have a man cave, or do you have that one special person that has everything, if so come and pay this store a visit as you are sure to find something to please the child in all of us...including 'real' children, lol.

Years ago when I lived in Sterling Heights, my girlfriend's father had a huge collection of Star…read moreWars toys. He also collected Star Wars baseball cards and put the gum in a Tupperware juice container. My friend and I loved going in the basement and getting at the gum. I'd look around at all of the boxed toys and think it was a waste of money. The Detroit News even ran an article about him and his collection. Well, if you want any type of collectible, this is the shop. I'm sure my friend's dad is having the last laugh because one of the figures that I know he had sold at Toys R Us for $2.95 is now sold for $1500.

Some items can be pricey, but there are great specials and coupons, check the website before shopping. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Worth the hour drive from Ann Arbor area to see, touch and browse everything on person rather than ordering by catalog. This is much more than an education supply store and much more than a toy store. It is a hub of creativity with something for every stage of a child's development.

This place was neat. I hadn't seen it before and according to the other reviews on here, they moved…read morefrom a Woodward location to 9 Mile, so that would explain it. Huge selection of gifts, including some fun Schitt's Creek stuff and Golden Girls, and also lots of candy and chocolate. They had Coffee Crisp which surprised me, it's a Canadian chocolate bar and I've never seen it outside of Canada. They are still requiring masks as of right now (6/13/21) which was nice, also. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's a bit pricey - most of the gifts I saw were $9.99 and up, for small things, and they had some Sanders one-piece chocolates for 75c (I've seen them 25-50c in other stores). Otherwise, this was a fun store to browse and I will be back at some point.

Add that right wingers would leave the place with anger and a big headache, you have a place I am glad to live near and EBS would have dropped lots of cash. I keep coming back for the fruit slices that are thicker than Macy's. I also like the selection of retro candy from my distance past childhood. I had to buy a birthday present for one of those "hard-to-buy" 20s generation so I knew I could get some cool stuff she would love. I found some socks, a note pad to write down her evil thoughts, and tennis shoes erasers. Even a bag for the introvert she is to put it all in. She loved all of it and wanted to know where the store this store is located. They have their Christmas stuff out and a warning that some of it would not have been on your grandmother's tree unless your grandma was like a 1960s hippie. Worth the drive just to come here, but you also get to enjoy the other shops in beautiful downtown Ferndale. Parking on the street, lots in the back, and other lots around the downtown. $1 an hour.

While I genuinely appreciate Ollie's for its exceptional deals, I must express my concern regarding…read morethe staff's attitudes. During a recent shopping trip, I encountered a situation that highlighted this issue. As I was in dire need of using the restroom, I inquired about its location. To my dismay, I was informed by a disgruntled employee that there were no public restrooms available. Recognizing my urgency and the imminent risk of incontinence, a female employee intervened and kindly requested that I be allowed to use the restroom. Despite my gratitude, the employee remained dismissive and turned away. Subsequently, he contacted another employee via walkie-talkie to unlock the restroom door. In a state of panic, I rushed through the store, nearly damaging my clothing due to the prolonged nature of my urgency. It is perplexing that there are multiple stalls in the restroom, yet no single toilet is accessible. I suspect that this may be attributed to a lack of concern for customer needs or a preference for avoiding unpleasant situations. However, there are effective ways to address such issues. It is unacceptable that I had to endure such discomfort and distress(tears) in a shopping center to get help. Apart from this incident, I had no other complaints about the store.

The amount of toys from…read morethe 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's is insane...you will definitely feel the nostalgic vibes walking through the store. The owner is great, she will probably have a piece or two from any toy collection you can think of. She's always helpful and typically cuts you a deal For the value, hands down the best spot to grab a few vintage pieces from your childhood or those couple McDonalds toys your kids were looking for! The prices are very reasonable, even for sealed figures. She even has a "$1 bucket", which is a whole basket of happy meal toys and trinkets; as many as you can fit in one sandbox size bucket for $1! She takes donations as well, so any old toys you have laying around- instead of the trash, bag it up and donate it here!
