First floor was housewares and the middle hallway was books. The second floor was Men's, Women's, children's clothing and even a separate room for shoes. While they did have some nice things, some of the shoes had damaged (cracked soles) for $15. I never made it to the 3rd floor since two different women came through and told me they were closing just before 3PM. Not sure if the hours have changed since online hours state open until 4PM.

Update: Protective Child Services investigation it turns out their camera system is only available for "live viewing" and there are no recordings. What this means is if anything happens in that facility to your child they will not be able to protect your child. Very irresponsible and dangerous for both children and staff that attend this facility. Sounds extremely shady. Parents I suggest a rigorous vetting process of this daycare before putting your child in a facility that has inadequate protections and precaution policies.
