The online catalog is active, so you can search for any titles there, or enjoy browsing to try your luck at what's there when you are.

It's always been hard for me to find the more modern stuff in a store. This shop is different, the selection is insane. Not much used yet but I am sure he will get there. I will say the prices are a bit high compared to online, but I would rather support local so it's worth $1-$3 here and there.

Well....this is the only bad experience i had at this store. Other times i visited this store was…read morepretty good, but i just needed to speak about this one. I was looking for the Olivia Rodrigo drop dead 7" vinyl, so i asked the cashier up front if they have it. She said they did not have it, but they did say they have it on their website. She said "the other one" was $14, and i just assumed it was the full 12" vinyl album. She also said that for Olivia Rodrigo i needed to look under the R section, so she knew it was Olivia Rodrigo. I then put the 12" on the counter and she said it was $29.99. I just wanted the 7" vinyl since i wanted to save money. I put it back and finally found the 7" i was looking for. I payed and left. Well at least i got what i wanted.

The Christian artwork is simply breathtaking. I was tempted to purchase one of them but we decided to wait before making the purchase. I will go back in a few months and buy one of their pieces. The service staff is always super friendly and helpful. I can tell that they enjoy working for this establishment. The young woman that helped us told me about the sale Blink Artwork was having the following day. Most people only care about selling their products and don't want to refer you to an outside business. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely come back.!!!

This location is a pretty good size and has a lot of art and home decor items. If they try to upsell you on their membership club, know that it costs $25 a year. You get a free gift during the month of your birthday and get discounts on items, so if that is worth it to you, sign up. I don't shop here enough to make it worth my while.

Then when I went to pay I waited for five minutes. There was no line but the girl was eating Fritos. Then she said oh I can help you. Then she asked me if the gift was for my son. I said no my husband. It's a pair of headphones for his Xbox. When I told her no it's for my husband she continued to eat her Fritos and rolled her eyes. So rude!! The box smells like Fritos now and the bag she put them in. Hello what happened to respect and customer service?!? I called customer service they said they were too busy and there's nothing they can do. Just got to love the Fritos chip oil all over.
