The yellow would not melt and just remained in a glob. I called the store and the female that I spoke with asked many questions. I explained I followed the instructions they gave me verbatim. I have been making chocolate molds over 20 years and always buy from Decorators Grocery, she told me it must've been a glitch with the yellow chocolate, as they have had other customers have similar issues previously. She said she couldn't replace the yellow chocolate bc it was a food product?! Very disappointed in Decorator's Grocery not standing behind their products.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Decorators Grocery. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and affordable. When I…read morecouldn't figure out how to do something, they took the time to give me ideas that ended up working perfectly. When I searched everywhere for the ideal transport for my baked goods and couldn't find what I needed, they had the solution. It's easy to forget about because it looks like a house and is not on any main road, but they always have the answers. What I pay $8 for at another place, is much cheaper here and excellent quality. AND it's locally owned and operated. As another reviewer said, they only accept cash or check and parking is a little tough, but those issues are nothing compared to all of the positives about this place. 5 stars all the way!

We usually order the large container or two of them, but this time we ordered the bag, to save some money as the bag is a little lower in price. We can empty the bag into an air-tight Tupperware container. - Today I placed an order for two bags, but I made a mistake on the order, and I sent them an online form which they responded to within 30 minutes (or less). This is FANTASTIC customer service.

Review Visit: May 16th, 2016…read more You can't go wrong with some old-fashioned Beer Nuts! I've heard of Beer Nuts before but never really paid much attention to them in stores, as I normally don't purchase packs of peanuts/bar mix snacks. But while looking for stuff to do in Bloomington-Normal, I came across the Beer Nut Factory/Company Store. Much to my surprise, I learned that this factory is the only one that produces Beer Nuts for all of America. I am not sure how far their distribution goes, but hopefully you can find some at your local grocery store/gas station as they are delicious! Ok, on to the Company Store. They have a Beer Nuts Gift Store right near the entrance of their Company Store. You can kind of peek around some windows to see the inner workings of the company, but that's not why we are there. We are there to get some snacks! The Gift Store is a bit bigger than your average Gift Store, but they have a ton of product to choose from. Upon entering, there is a sampling station where you can try most, if not all of their products. I will say that I sampled most and regret not getting my hands on Beer Nuts a lot sooner. Delicious! The store has more than just nuts. They have logos on just about everything you can think of. Shirts, boxers, hats, ping pong balls, gift baskets, water bottles... the list goes on... and I don't remember what else they had, but there is almost something there for everyone. I ended up grabbing a bunch of little bags to take to work for people and a single ping pong ball. Why I bought a ping pong ball, I still don't know. They don't offer tours of the factory, sadly. In place of that, they do have a TV playing a video with tons of Beer Nuts history and tons of cool information. The staff was also super friendly and took time to explain things and joked around with my friend and I. Wrapping this up, if you find yourself in Bloomington and have no idea what to do, get yourself over to the Beer Nuts Company Store. I know I am going back next time I am in Bloomington. You won't regret it and neither will your taste buds. Unless you have a peanut allergy...

You can find nearly anything from 25 cent mustaches and candy to fifty dollar costumes for Halloween. They change certain aisles according to season and have recently gone to winter holiday.

The other aisles are arranged according to party color and theme - yes! You go there telling yourself that you are going to plan a super super bowl party and you head directly to the sports party decorations aisle to find table cloths, plastic bowls, streamers, colored chocolates, paper cups, and so much more!

I placed an order online for a big balloon bouquet to surprise my son for his 21st birthday. The next day, I got an email stating half the order was canceled because some items were not in stock. I called and left a message for them to call me so I could change the order. Later that day, someone from the store called my son & asked what balloons he wanted. My son then called me - the surprise was blown! I talked to the manager, Susan, and she apologized profusely and went out of her way to make it right, even adding extra touches to the bouquet! It was delivered right on time - I think she even delivered it herself - and it looked great! Now that's just good customer service! I would suggest you give this store another chance, as maybe they changed management because Susan really stepped up to the plate!
