The kids were really excited to start the spooky season and get some costume inspiration for the…read moreyear so we drove out pretty far to this location since it was one of the first ones open in metro Detroit. It was a bit hard to find. The place it was showing on the map was sort of the opposite place it ended up being. It showed that it was around Ikea and Black Rock, but instead it was on the other side of the expressway in an unmarked building with limited signage. But finally we did arrive. Not all of the displays were working yet or filled, but as stated, it is a bit early into the season. It was a decent size store filled with a lot of the full seasonal merch. I am sure we will be back to make some final decisions when it gets closer to Halloween, but for now we were just window shopping. My child almost bought a mug, but wanted to wait and see if a greater selection was available before committing her hard earned money. Fun place. Quite a few customers were also eager to shop around early.

I was in search of a 1920's headdress and gloves. The store had ample parking and was clean, but it did seem rather small inside. Things were not super clearly organized and it took me a little time to find what I was looking for. The selection was ok but not great. There were a lot of scary costumes and accessories if that's what you're looking for. Needing a few items for my kids, I found the child costume section, which was definitely anemic. I would recommend buying kids things elsewhere. Other than a handful of branded costumes, and many candy buckets, there wasn't much else. They were well staffed, though, with nice associates and once I found what I needed, I was in and out rather quickly.

What I like most about this Gordon is its hot bar. The seasoned potato wedges are good - better…read morethan what you get at many restaurants and fast food places. Most other Gordon locations I've been to do not have a hot bar. I can also find a variety of Chicago-style giardiniera that taste better than brands found at other supermarkets in the area. If you do not have a Costco or Sam's Club membership, Gordon is the next best place to buy condiments and snacks for a large event. The line is usually not bad, but one evening, I had to wait for 15 minutes to purchase one item. Only one person was working the register, even though other workers should have helped sooner with opening another register. That was the only time I felt frustrated with my shopping experience.

I also noticed they had hot foods - like potato wedges and a popcorn station. Parking was bit of a mass unfortunately.

It was great to see a high school classmate I hadn't seen in 50 years and I really enjoyed the tour around the museum, which is actually an old farmhouse from the 1830's that has been converted to show the history of Garden City including many artifacts and photographs. If you enjoy history you would appreciate this place even if you aren't from the area. I know I enjoy visiting little museums in other towns that I am not from. Each town has its own interesting history. I'll see if I can find a link to the museum that describes it. There's also a gift shop with some fun things in it if you are looking for unique presents for anyone.
