One of the few anchor-stores left to the Southern Hills Mall. They didn't have their doors open…read moregoing into the mall right away once allowed to open 'post-Covid.' (They do now.) They are requiring masks. (Obv I'm writing this during Covid, but I know this location well. I didn't base my Stars off their Covid rules.) The hours differ from the mall's somewhat, which is great. They actually stay open an hour or two later on Sundays. They've also done several events for book releases and have had theme nights. (I've personally participated in some Harry Potter cosplay!) This location doesn't have much for seating like I've seen other B&N's do. The kids' area is fantastic. They do readings every so often. The bathroom has ALWAYS been a nightmare. Maybe all the mall people use it thinking it's going to cleaner than the food courts'? It's a mess. Every time. Has a Starbucks and some tables. Full Starbucks menu. But no online ordering or can't use Starbucks gift cards. Which I think is odd, but must be the rules when a location is inside another business. They have two spots for registers but they're never both 'open.' SEVERAL times I've gone to one side of the store hoping to pay to having to turn around and go to the other side. I get not having all 8 registers open...but why not at least 1 per side? Music area is small and kinda lacking, IMO. But that's me. (I think this location is smaller than the average store size. At least seems like it.) It's honestly the only place in town to buy books minus a Target or Walmart. There may still be one more store WAY across town selling books, but I can't remember if they're still operating.

I am a big fan of this store, but due to a recent event, I actually canceled my membership here…read more Basically, in 2018, I was able to price-match as much as I wanted to as long as I had the Membership. However, as of 2019, that is no longer the case. At the time, Best Buy had the Blu-ray of The Big Bang Theory on sale for only $14.99, but the Best Buy, Target, and Walmart stores nearby did not have it. Barnes and Noble did have it and that is the reason why I went to the store to try to price-match. It wasn't that the store would not do a price-match of that caliber (we're talking a discount of about $35-40), it's that they flat-out​ do not price-match anymore. As a member, this is deeply insulting, not to mention that price-matching should be a basic practice of any business in 2019. Even if you are not making the same amount of money or even half of that, it is sure better than doing nothing for your customers. If you're looking to buy movies and TV show seasons here, I would not recommend it. They are very overpriced. However, if you are looking to buy books, by all means, go for it! You see, I do like the store, setup, and the Barnes and Noble Cafe. It is the "anti-price-matching" that I am against. I should also point out that this store does accept Apple Pay now, so that is a big plus too!

LOVE IT. Very helpful and nice. Literally one of the best shopping experiences I've had in Sioux City. I haven't shopped there in 10 years but needed blank t-shirts for vinyl and they have great basics for bases!

**DO NOT WORK HERE** I worked here for a few months and it…read morewas complete and utter hell. They completely over hire, making your possibility of hours nearly impossible, and there's so many people working you can't even begin to know your coworkers because there's a new person there every time. The managers are awful and completely rude and inconsiderate to anything but themselves and one really smelled like onions. I had state volleyball coming up, which you can't plan for because you don't know you if you go until you win. I had to work a couple of shifts the week of the tournament and I let them know I could not make it. Instead of being considerate and working with my schedule they told me I had a prior commitment and had to show up for my shifts, now why was it so important that I showed up instead or getting your other millions of unnecessary workers to help out? They then continued to tell me that if I didn't show up to never bother showing up again and I did just that because I hated that place. After my week of volleyball, they continued to call and harass me AFTER telling me to never bother showing up for a shift again. I eventually removed myself from the workers facebook page, blocked their number and email page and moved on with my life to find the best job I ever had afterwards. If you're planning on working here, DO NOT!!! Also, throughout my shifts they would send me the schedules via email and they were always wrong. I would get yelled at and scolded for not showing up to a shift that wasn't on the shift they would send me, they never would own up to their mistakes. Overall my working experience here was just was miserable. Mind you I was 16 at the time so this was traumatic to me, so if you're young please save yourself and do not work here, i'm also not the only one with this experience!

Hot Topic is a fun store. Sometimes it's a little overwhelming with all the merchandise they have…read morebut they have it organized well and if you know what you want-such as Disney or Harry Potter stuff-you can find it easily. Their clearance is usually a mess but isn't that the fun of clearance; digging for treasure? Only 1 dressing room I think. Maybe 2. They always seem to just have 1 register open. Don't know why. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I don't get very good service when I'm there. I never get greeted, never get asked if I'm looking for something specific, and the employees always seem to be chatting away with each other or friends that came to visit them. No offense to anyone, but I wonder if I don't get any attention because I don't really have the Hot Topic 'look.' I did an online order to be shipped to the store recently and everything was great. I ordered 2 shirts and so far only 1 has shown up, but it came quickly and that day the woman who took care of me was super nice. I assume she was a manager. We even laughed about her and my nails. I'll be back shopping in the store for sure. I have Hot Cash to spend in January!

They also sell blind boxes and blind bags if you'd like to double the surprise for people's birthdays or any other occasions when gifting. The store itself has great employees who will help you out looking for things you need or want to buy as a gift for others, not to mention this store is a great place for anyone who is nostalgic about the 80s or 90s whatever you want to shop for.

Was a little reluctant to stop here due to they are just a little bit pricey. Spent about an hour looking and not finding what I wanted so decided to ask someone. The young lady I asked said wait one and left. Came back a few minutes later with exactly what I wanted. And would you believe it was on sale. Listed price was $34 and change but was on sale for 16 and change. Good deal. This is a good store to browse around in because you never know what you will find.

I don't know if they get commission, but they sure have great customer service.
