This mall...anyway, this particular location actually has some new CDs...precious few, but those…read moreand DVDs, and some used stuff as well. Why? No idea, but this one is definitely a lot less invested in pop culture than the one in Orem. So, I guess if you're looking for music or movies, this would be the one to hit and if you're looking for pop kitsch like figures or Japanese food items or blankets or related stuff, Orem is your bag. Both of them are flooded with Funko POPs, though, so if you're into deformed hunks of plastic, either one will work just fine.

Every once and awhile, I'll be rolling down 2100 South in Sugarhouse and hit 700 E and think "Hmm,…read morethe FYE is still there!" I used to hit up the FYE back in the DVD days, but haven't gone in one since Obama's first term. So imagine my surprise when I'm rolling through the Provo Mall to see an FYE. Stunned. When I went in, it was much different than I remember. The DVDs and CDs were mostly relegated to the bargain bins. FYE's reason for survival quickly became clear: The most voluminous collection of Pop! Funko in the entire mall; a gigantic Rick & Morty display in the front; enough pop culture t-shirts to clothe an army; DC and Marvel comic clothes and collectables, vinyl records and cool turntables; and Pop Sockets (accessories for the back of cell phones). They've really found a way to stay competitive with the other pop culture stores by having "exclusives", such as the Batman/Aquaman 2-pack, and Pennywise (with teeth) from "It", and Jimmy Hendrix burning his guitar at the Monterrey Pop Festival. I put the word "exclusives" in quotes as you can get them on Amazon; however, even those have the FYE label on them. The "For Your Entertainment" of FYE has changed a bit, away from the movies themselves and rapidly toward the clothes we wear and the collectibles we display long after we see the film. I get the distinct feeling that the new, evolved FYE is here to stay.

FYE's website is hopeless, but the stores have made the transition from more traditional…read moregames/movies/music into more or less just vinyl, smatterings of DVDs, but mostly a pop culture themed store. There is a ton of Japanese imported food and drinks here, much of it exclusive to FYE, lots of action figures and related stuff, quite a few different t-shirts, bowls, cups, just a huge embrace of various elements of pop culture, both American, mostly horror, and Japanese (ranges a lot). If they're going to do it, selection is going to be important and they do very well on this side. I can't say it's a wholly welcome change, for me, anyway, but they're doing a pretty solid job leaning into it...for the few stores that are left, anyway.

Vinyls and collectibles aren't really my thing but this shop made it pretty tempting to get into…read more They have an impressive collection of sports cards and memorabilia, alongside a great selection of records. I especially loved that they had a variety of easy, affordable items spread throughout the shop, such as gumball machines for different cards or 3 for $10 deals. If you're just getting started in collecting or vinyl this would be a great first stop and the staff can definitely steer you in the right direction. I stopped by just to peruse and the staff was super friendly and eager to help out, honestly I recommend Platinum for the customer service alone because they were awesome and really know their stuff.

They have a pretty good collection of new movies and If you sign up for emails, they will email you when they have new movies to rent. Every time we come into this little gem, the staff is always so friendly and helpful. They are operating limited hours right now due to COVID19, but they make sure their limited hours are posted on their website's front page. When you do return movies and books, the only way their taking it back is the drop box behind the library. They are not taking any returns inside. In addition, they are not taking any cash for payment for any late fees at this time due to the pandemic. What I also love about this library is sometimes they have donated bread at the entrance, free to anyone who might need it. At this time I don't think anyone is allowed to sit and stay (and play) inside, so they labeled their hours as "Grab & Go" while they are open. I have looked into their digital selection, and it would be nice if they can expand it. I've put in a few requests for movies that they do not have, but have not received any response as to them making any effort of carrying it. Room for growth!

The workers there are the best I've seen in a book store. They are all very knowledgeable about the store, its literature, and history of the items they have in store. The first time I visited I chose a passage from one of their Bibles that you can have framed on the spot; I also met Mr. Moon! I cherish this Bible page, and have it mounted in my office. If you're looking to buy reprints of your favorite books or looking to read something new, they have them available at reasonable prices. If you're looking for something older, maybe even a first edition, they most likely have it too. I couldn't recommend this bookstore more, and I hope to return again in the future!

The atmosphere is utterly enchanting, with a whimsical aesthetic and walls adorned with memorabilia from beloved films. One of the most striking details is the brick floor, which was imported from France and is over 600 years old, adding a rich sense of history to the space. The staff were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and eager to share stories behind the unique items throughout the shop. Their warmth and enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable. Toward the back of the store, you'll find a collection of small shoppes that feel like miniature museums, showcasing cinematic relics, rare artifacts, and even historic church memorabilia. It's a treasure trove for any curious mind. Many of the books are antiques or collectors' editions, carefully curated and full of character. Prices can run high on some of these items. I learned that once a month, the owner hosts private showings where guests can register to view rare books from his personal collection -- a truly fascinating experience that I hope to attend next time. I can't wait to return!
