    Always love these locations. We aren't huge readers, but our intentions fill a small library in our home, and most of our books have come from this business. We've sold some and bought a lot. They have have games, records, CD's, Videoe's and other items as well. We stopped in for the puzzles today and we were not disappointed. They had a LOT, a full shelf system full of puzzles, some still shrink wrapped, others opened but still in the plastic packaging that holds the puzzle pieces, and yet others that others have sold. Prices were awesome even for the unopened puzzles. Always very happy here, staff is always kind and helpful.

    Sale going on now! On friday, take 40% off your highest priced item. On sat, take 50% off

    I really enjoy Half Price Books. I have bought and sold books here, so let me speak to both aspects. Each time I've sold books here, the wait is not very long. Only on one occasion did I have to wait an hour and that was because it was a busy weekend and multiple people had come in with more than 30 books. I get a fair price for the books they accept. I usually research online before I go into the store so I can know what "fair" is. They also accept books that an online book buyer may not take. The workers who give me the offer have never been rude and despite always being busy when I'm there, are in a pleasant mood. I bring in some books that I no longer want, and then I get a fair cash payment for them. Wahoo! Buying books at Half Price Books is pretty darn easy. If I am looking for a specific book, I will usually call ahead to ask. If they do not have it, they check surrounding stores that have it in stock and inform me of their address. If the book is available for store to store shipping, they set that up for me and call me when it's available. A very easy process! Most of the time, their prices are a little higher than online, but the benefit is knowing the exact condition of the book and the immediacy of the transaction. This past week though they had an awesome sale. A couple of days were 30% off your highest price book and it gradually increased until Sunday, which was 50% off! Pay attention to sales and get an even better deal on books that you want. Overall, Half Price Books is a solid place to buy or sell lightly used or new books. Customer service is everything I could ask for. Only reason why I am not giving 5 stars is because most of their regular priced items are higher than online book sellers.

    Quality Books. Great Authors.

    I think I have found one of my new favorite stores! The place was clean, well organized, and true to their word... every book was half off of the original price! The books they sold were all reasonably well-taken care of, which is something I'm a stickler for. They even have older text books! Staff was friendly, AND if you sign up for their text messages/emails, you get additional discounts! I will definitely be back!

    It would be nice if the workers were more literate, polite or hygienic. The store is in a good location and the selection is okay.

    I agree with another reviewer who stated that is hard to judge on HPB location over another because their inventory changes so rapidly.

    We love Target--our family shops there for just about everything, from gifts and clothing for our…read moredaughter to toys and everyday essentials. While in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for a medical appointment a few weeks ago, we stopped by this location to pick up some extra clothes and a few Christmas items. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. This is a good-sized Target, and the store was spotless, well-organized, and fully stocked. Everything was neat and easy to find, with clearly labeled prices and tidy shelves--a huge help when you're shopping with a three-year-old who's pointing at everything she sees! The staff was exceptionally friendly, going above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. At the entrance, an employee helped us get a kid-friendly cart that was stuck in a corner, and he was so kind and cheerful. He even chatted with us about his daughter, which made for a really warm and welcoming start to our trip. Throughout the store, we had a couple of employees assist us in finding items, and they were all equally kind and helpful. The cashier at the end of our visit was wonderful. She complimented my daughter on the dress we picked out, wished her a Merry Christmas, and brought the biggest smile to her face. My daughter talked about her trip to Target the entire drive home (which, at an hour and a half, is a long time!). It's moments like these that make Target feel like more than just a store--it's an experience. We live in a small town with limited shopping options, especially for children's clothing, so this trip was a refreshing change. This Target location provided exactly what we needed--cleanliness, a well-stocked store, and outstanding customer service. We'll definitely keep this store on our list of places to visit whenever we're in the area. It's always a pleasure shopping at Target, and this location exceeded our expectations!

    First off, Apple's Technical Support associates online, on the phone or in person, are INCREDIBLE!…read moreThey are so caring and immediately take ownership of the technical issue I'd had each time I've contacted them. I was having a charging issue with my AirPods Pro 2. I work with Apple Technical Support for around an hour, and they were not able to get to the root of the issue. Their suggestion was to head over to the "Genius Bar" at one of our local Apple stores. Upon arriving I checked up since I'd made a prior appointment. I love the vibe the Apple stores have. I'm glad I'd made an appointment since the store was packed. There was a lot of students there since it's the start of school. After a 10-15-minute wait as the Genius Bar, Blake greeted me with a smile and asked me what's going on. He logged on to my service record and followed what had already occurred the prior day with the support I'd received. I asked his how long he's worked for Apple. He told me 10 years on the Genius Bar and 20 years providing Apple support. Yep, I was chatting with a genius at the Genius Bar. He clarified what was happening and which air Pod was acting up. He ran several intensive tests and at the Genuis Bar and back in the back of the store. For some reason there was a "disconnect" between one of the pods and the case causing the charging issue. He needed to send them in for repair and they'd be back in my hands in 4-5 days. Thank goodness for AppleCare. What an incredible experience with Blake and the Apple store personnel. Superior service and support are what one expects with Apple products and that's what I received.
