We were hit with an Aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and everything looked nice and organized. They had a section with toys and we looked through the toys and eventually moved to the back where the kids section was.

I just loved the organization and the cute decorations. It was hard to leave when we finally did, but we'll def be back to this location!

Only thing I would change here is would be nice if a kitchen was attached and they could serve made to order items.

I ended up getting a chicken salad sandwich and chips which was good, just not what I would have chosen for breakfast lol

It is a bit small but not really an issue if it isn't jam packed with people.

I would have liked to check out the larger store at north end but I was on a bit of a time crunch. Maybe next time I'm down in NC. Prices weren't bad. I also bought a shirt. There was only one guy working but he was nice. 5 stars from me!

I purchased a brand new book for an Investment Planning course I took recently which was published…read moreby the American College. The book was approximately $160 for a brand new copy of the the textbook. On yesterday when I returned the book to recoup part of the cost, I was insulted when they told me that I would only receive $6 from their buy back program. This American College publication book was a problematic purchase at every level. It was not only hard to comprehend by most students in my class, but to then be told I would only receive about 4% of the cost of this required text just added to my personal insult. I have sold several books back to this store and have had to deal with the personnel there. Do not expect a high level of competency or professionalism from the personnel there. I will not be buying from them again. Use another resource please. Amazon can usually deliver in 2 days if you need a hard copy of a textbook​.

They tried to sell me a used one for the same price! Once I arrived to the store, I noticed that the cardboard cover had some wear and tear. Me: Is this used? I ordered a new one. Employee: It's new, it was just on display. Me: It looks used *pulls off cover* and there is no plastic seal. Employee: Um... Me: *opens case and removes CD* and it has smudges. This isn't new. Employee: Well it's the only one we have. Me: But I ordered I new one and I drove all the way here. And you are trying to sell this at the new game price of $29.99. I called Customer Service to report this and they offered to send the game (NEW) with free shipping after this happened. Don't let them take you for a ride, worst GameStop I've been to!
