What a cool shop! If you like games, puzzles or loose leaf tea, this is worth a stop! While it is a…read morevery small store, there is a lot to check out. Kevin opened in September of 2020, and this store has a lot to offer the community. There is a game for every type of gamer. You can find a beloved classic or a new challenge. Also, you get to spin a wheel at checkout, so there's always exciting incentive. If you plan on coming back, which you should, there's a loyalty program that gets you $10 for free very $100. Support Plainwell and swing by!

Their selection of comics is colossal, the main reason we come back. Their game selection is also phenomenal and they even have a "game cage" for table top games to happen in store. Kids also have game and comic options as well as stuffed animals that are great for all ages. Staff is friendly, greeting us as we entered and various employees asking if we needed help with anything during our visit. We got what we wanted and continued our adventure. I'm glad we make FanFare a regular Kalamazoo stop and am already looking forward to coming back.

Lots of things to see lots of different things to do. A great place I would recommend it to anyone.read more

This place is absolutely huge and it's a pretty fun treat to walk-through. There are easily…read morethousands of crystals and minerals like all around and on display. But that's the key, on display. Probably 80% of all of the crystals that are for sale are behind lock and key - very unusual for a rock shop. The place feels a lot more like a museum that it does a rock shop. With everything under lock and key not only do I not feel unwelcome and as if the owner can't trust anybody, but I can't look at any pieces from different angles, see how much they weigh, or even compare them to nearby pieces. It feels like a Walgreens where I have to call an associate over every single time I want to get some soap or something. It puts a huge damper on the experience. They try to make the place immersive with some mining decorations and this little dinosaur pit, but I find them absolutely annoying. One section of the shop constantly has this high-pitched sound of someone using a pickaxe against the stone wall on speaker. It's cool, a little immersive at first, but I found myself getting a headache after about five minutes. There's another section of the store that I've never really visited, because I have to cover my ears when I walk through there. They have the loudest, and I mean, the absolutely loudest, most shrill sounding bird sounds playing from their prehistoric dinosaur section you could possibly imagine. You can hear it from across the store. My noise canceling headphones don't cut it. They are crazy loud, and they've been that same exact volume the previous three times I had visited. The only crystals that are not under lock and key are ones that are incredibly common or artificial; think, Jasper, tumbled glass, and obsidian. A good majority of the pieces under lock and key are actually quartzes, agates, and other silicates. There honestly isn't a lot of diversity here. I think they can do a lot better since they are boasting they are Michigan's largest rock shop. TL; DR: it's a nice place, but I don't think the owner can decide if they want this place to be a museum or a rock shop.

Have you been to Green Light yet? It's in a small, unassuming strip mall (slightly overshadowed by…read morethe liquor store next door, but once you have been to Green Light, you won't even notice the neighbors any more, so intent are you on getting INSIDE!), with plenty of ample parking. Inside, you'll find new and used records, tapes, and cds. (I mean, of course!) The walls are covered with interesting new releases and rare recordings. The bins are a joy to peruse, especially the 45s. Larger musicians have their own tabs, otherwise it is alphabetical. You'll find much here that you'll love, but it will also be hard to stay on budget. Luckily, they have a frequent buyer card (in $5 increments). Our favorite part is digging through the 45s. It's a trip down memory lane, with laughter galore. I cannot believe the 80s fashion that ended up on record sleeves (I know, I wore it myself, but not in such a...memorable way). The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The music playing is especially interesting. And, although we haven't done it yet, they do purchase music from customers (hence the enormous selection of records for us to discover treasures within!). Previously, my favorite record store was Electric Fetus in Minneapolis. This has definitely replaced it, both for warmth and service. Go!

A real bummer. Long story short, initial experience was great. Great looking product, impressive…read morepresentation, my wife and I left looking forward to a quote (via phone) for a couple stone options. After a month and no follow up, we stopped back in. We were not in a rush but excited to get a ring ordered. The sales lady that we had previously worked with seemed happy to see us but had obviously lost our quote, name number and all, and was flustered and soon mad about the situation. In trying to remember - without letting on that she had forgotten about us- she came up with something very different than what we had talked about. Neither my wife nor I took her irritated manner personally but were a bit flabbergasted when she rolled her eyes at us and disappeared into the back room to complain about us to her manager. And she was loud. And offensive. My wife walked out by this point but I stayed to try to resolve the situation. After a few minutes, Doug (who I believe is the owner and seemed like a nice enough guy) came out and gave me an overpriced quote to apparently run me out of his store. Now I realize that customer service isn't what it used to be but this was a failure on so many levels - and such a different experience than we had been hoping for. I now hear their ads on the radio and can only say this: an ad may bring in a customer but bad service and the word of mouth that results from it can be devastating to a business. Might I be so bold as to suggest a drastic change in attitude - and employees for that matter.

They have some beautiful glass art from locals Avolio Glassworks, as well as a really cool cross-section of items that would interest those who love jewelry and gemstones. They've got lots of very affordable gift items under $200, but also masterworks by their own and other jewelers. They have a solid collection of antique jewelry, plus lots of really modern looks. And there's something different every time I pop in (which is pretty much every time I dine at neighboring Fieldstone Grill, which is one of my favorite spots in Portage). Superior customer service as well. La!
