Whenever I need a new kite it is great to have a place to go to where you know you will get a quality kite and a great value. They have an excellent selection of all different types of kites and other flying toys. It is fun to look around and select the perfect kite for the occasion. This is also a great place to find a fun gift for somebody on your shopping list that may be hard to shop for. The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable about kites and are available to answer all of your kite related questions. I have had a really positive experience every time I have been here and I am happy that this place exists.

What a lovely unexpected surprise!! We will be regular customers and will more than likely plan his next birthday party here, as he loves Legos so much!

We came here on a recent Friday for our son to compete in a gaming night they host. The store was…read morechocked full of SO many games. These are not what you see on the shelves at your local Target or Wal-Mart. These are a much more unique collection! You'll find a lot of fantasy and role-playing board games here. Many crossovers with sci-fi tv shows and cartoons like Firefly or Rick and Morty. They don't really stock word playing stuff like Scrabble or Bananagrams or classic games like Chinese checkers or Life. There is also a very large comic book section of the store. It was all a bit overwhelming but in a good way! This would be a great place to get a unique gift for someone who loves board games. The dedicated gaming room was massive and full of tables and chairs. The other players there were quite kind to our son. The Green Dragon staff guided and explained everything so he felt comfortable. He was a good deal younger than everyone else so as a parent I really appreciated the generosity of the players and staff. We will absolutely be back!

We drove to this store from Mt. Pleasant so a specific DnD book could be purchased. We wanted,…read moreespecially in current times, to support a small, local business instead over a large, national chain store (where we could have very easily obtained the book with much less driving.) While this type of store is not something I personally would seek out (full disclosure: I went because my partner wanted to), I was immediately hooked when I walked in. I loved the stickers and signs I saw on the windows and door before even walking in. I was ecstatic to see the store highlighting the work of Black/African-American comic-book writers and characters at the front of the store. The game and book options were seemingly endless, even for someone like me who doesn't know a whole lot. And, prior to driving out there, we called just to make sure the certain books were in stock. An employee answered the phone, well before store open, and kindly checked the store in order to best answer our question(s). Both prior to entering and even while in there, the customer service was great. Under normal circumstances, I think I would rate this store a 5/5. I struggle to write this review without mentioning safety cautions, which are important for me at this time for myriad reasons. I've debated whether I should mention these things in these types of reviews (maybe that's a conversation for a different time), and I'm willing to remove or edit when it is no longer relevant. However, what bothered me, a lot, actually, was the lack of social distancing precautions taking place within the store. No employees were wearing masks and only half of the customers in the main area of the store were wearing masks. The store still had their separate section (a room that is attached, but separated from the main store) operating for game time, and at least 10 young adults (~20s) were there eating snacks and playing games. While I only quickly peeked inside (before realizing it wasn't part of the store), I saw only one person sitting at a table playing games wearing a thin mask. As a health scientist and health-cautious individual, this bothersome to me for various reasons, with one of them being my comfortability with leaving the house, especially for non essential items, is not high. When I do go somewhere, however, I expect and hope that places are at least follow minimum recommended CDC guidelines. Because they were totally lacking at Green Dragon this weekend, my partner and I purchased his book and quickly left as fast as possible. We talked about this the entire car ride home - wondering why this was the case? Why aren't the employees concerned for themselves? Or their customers? How should I rate the review because of it?Perhaps most disappointedly, we discussed how under other circumstances, we would have been in that store for at LEAST an hour, and probably longer, looking and likely purchasing way too many games and books for ourselves, our family, and friends. Because this is so important to me, I've decided to rate 3 stars and cut the difference, while being fully transparent in explaining my reasoning. My initial reaction was to rate 1 star altogether because of this, frankly because I find it so unacceptable and astonishing, but I want to try my best to also be balanced and fair, to a degree, realizing that if we all weren't facing these unprecedented times, my impression of the place wouldn't be close to what it is. My plan is that following the pandemic, I hope to return. When I do, I am certain I will change my review to 4 or 5 stars.

I'm going to start by saying that RC is not my interest so I can't speak that part of the store…read more My interest is scale model kits and Xtreme carries model kits that you can't find anywhere else in this area. I know Hobby Lobby sells models and has a 40% off sale every 3 weeks but it's mostly the same kits on the shelf and they phased out Tamiya products which I enjoy using and building. Tamiya, besides RC, is one of the top companies when it comes to scale models and this store carries their kits and paint and if there is something from Tamiya you want, they will be happy to get it for you. So, I am in agreement with Jeff W. of Hanahan, don't bother with reading the negative reviews. I have been in the store many times and have not had any bad experiences and it's my opinion that the negative reviews do not accurately reflect this business.

I recently moved back to Summerville so I made the trip to North Charleston to get a few items. Overall this is pretty much like any other Hobby Lobby with one exception, which I'll bury somewhere in here if you keep reading. Walking in a week after the doors were unlocked for the general public, the experience is almost exactly similar to all other Hobby Lobby's; the space wide open yet filled with shelves of knick-knacks, art supplies, nostalgic themed items and many other items. The place is very clean and sterile while being well stocked and thoughtfully displayed, playing on the casual shoppers innate impulse shopping with "Oh I might need that one day" mentality. Therein lies my personal weakness as I headed back to the front to grab a cart to load up with items, I really didn't need but I could justify in my mind. I could drag the review out but, it's Hobby Lobby and you know what you're getting. Clean and safe stores with all sorts of items, and generally good employees. But that is one of the flaws of this particular store, the people were slow to respond and weren't well trained as they seemed to be missing a clue or two. While I'm ignorant of the inner workings I'd wager management isn't exactly up to par here. That said for the general public I don't think that would be an issue, just my knit picking. I'll end my review with it's not a bad store and it just needs a little TLC in terms of customer relations. Stop on by and take some time to relax and walk around a little and enjoy life while shopping.

There is no better place to buy high-quality, locally made mementos, and affordable ones at that! Charleston Crafts is no exception. If I had unlimited funds, I'd clean this place out. Their selection runs the gamut of art forms and medias. Metal, wood, paper, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, glass, it's all here and then some. I spent a good half hour just perusing everything they have to offer. I've never seen a more extensive display of diverse artistry at a cooperative gallery. The Lowcountry is home to a ridiculous number of talented craftspeople. So when you're out and about downtown, don't forget to make a pit stop at Charleston Crafts. What better way to remember your trip to Charleston than with a unique craft or two? They're way cooler than mass-produced keychains and magnets. And if you're a local who has yet to visit, what are you waiting for?! Go support your local artists!
