Terrific selection of thoughtful gifts, ranging from high-end purses and candles, to jewelry,…read moresnuggly sleepwear, stationery, kitchen swag and cards. Selections for men as well: grooming and soap, flashlight caps, and clever, irreverent socks for everyone. I love coming into this store. It's also a lovely place to get a reasonable "thinking of you" gift for a friend or neighbor. Inventory is contemporary and has a little something for every age: toys for children, rich lotions for adults, Hallmark souvenirs. The staff is kind and everyone there cares about their customers and the quality of the merchandise they offer. If you're into engraving, they can do that too. I love the kitchen towels and pet-themed gifts for those of us whose children have four legs and a tail.

What had caused me hours of grief took him 15 minutes to fix. I was out the door for $25 for that piece, and i picked up some other equipment while i was there. 100% recommend this shop. They were responsive, they did not treat me stupid and they got my problem fixed immediately. I was back home within 25 minutes with my tire installed. I rode tonight for 80 minutes and she performed flawlessly! I will be back.

They assured me that it would be finished within 1-2 hours. I showed up an hour later as they were just finishing up. One of the associates was letting me know some of the features as the tech took it for a quick spin post build. They did not upsell me on accessories that I may or may not need, they helped me pick out a helmet and gave me some tips for my new bike, as well as offered me two free tune ups as a new customer. Not only do they run a solid shop, they have beer on tap and coffee as well. Will definitely be a returning customer and would recommend to others.

I was immediately greeted when I entered and informed about the current sales which included 75% off of handbags, 30% off of coats and other items. The pricing is more than a goodwill type of thrift store but on par with a consignment store. I was actually very tempted by a couple of coats but knew I wouldn't be able to get them in my luggage. Maybe they'll be there when I return in a couple of weeks. All of the items were fairly priced and in good condition. This is definitely a store worth checking out before you go to a regular retail location. I'm sure you'll find something here that you'll be taking home.
