This is a pretty big comic and anime figures store. Wouldn't have guessed it from the outside…read more They have comics, dvds, vhs tapes, vhs, tees posters and even Labubus! But those are pretty expensive. Between $80 and $100 for one Labubu, based on series. They are the real deal though. No Lafufus here lol. Aside from that theres just a lot of stuff. The employee at the counter was nice and chill. Answered any question I had. It was kind of dark in the back. It was well lit for the rest of the store though.

For a large, full comic book shop, I have nothing good to say about this place. It is very…read moreuninviting, I didn't see or hear any employee when I entered or while shopping. A simple hello goes a long way, but the only person who seemed to maybe work here was engrossed in his phone too much to even notice I was shopping. This store LOOKS well stocked, but it's almost entirely an illusion. It's mostly funko pops, which is fine, but they are dispersed throughout the store in a way that makes finding anything specific impossible. The rest of the figures are old peg warmers marked ilup significantly from msrp. Speaking of wildly crazy markups, the huge selection of back issues are marked "minimum of $3" regardless of the sticker price. The back issues are clearly a large collection of dollar bin books purchased, never sorted, and just flopped out onto the tables like raw meat. It is impossible to shop the back issues unless you have all day to sort through the completely and utterly random boxes. This store lacks any charm, or charisma and seems to be simply a way for the owners to price gouge dollar issues to people who don't know any better. Even the issues being sold at a premium are 3-4 dollars more expensive here than online. In addition, there is signage throughout the store that warns shoplifters that they will be sued for 100,000 dollars if they steal, which i understand is a deterrent for what is probably a real problem, but phrasing it like this reinforces the fact that this place is only looking for an extra buck on goods that are not worth the price, nor effort to steal. If they would actually expend a modicum of effort to clean up the back issues, and break away from the cycle of price gouging comics to kids in the mall, they'd have a decent location and stock, but in the state it is in now, you're better off going to a swap meet.

I have been going to the La Quinta Hobby Lobby since it opened. I decorate for weddings and…read morebirthday parties, and I am so thankful this store is close by. I am in this store at least three days a week. They always have a great supply, and their weekly sales really save me money! There is always an employee stocking nearby if I need to ask a question. Michaels not only has limited stock, but their prices are high, and they usually have only one employee at checkout while the rest is self-checkout. My favorite employee at the La Quinta Hobby Lobby is Lindsey. She is always upbeat and helpful. She knows the store inside and out, so I always look for her if I'm having trouble locating an item. So many times I have had an issue making something, and thankfully Lindsey was there to suggest an item to solve my problem. I have a Christian upbringing, and one of my biggest problems with some Christians is how they judge others by the way they look. Lindsey dresses differently and has a different style than most of the employees at Hobby Lobby, and it makes me so happy that the Christian management doesn't judge her by her appearance. She is a true asset to the store because of how well she treats customers and other employees.

This place is amazing. I feel like a kid the candy store whenever I shop here. Every season I'm…read moreable to find what I'm trying to accomplish when it comes to decorate my home. The prices are reasonable, especially when they have 50 to 60% off. Selection was huge. And not mention the service is always impeccable.

AMAZING framing team here. I came in with some art I wanted framed but had NO idea how to approach…read moreor what would look best. I came in fearful, but the minute I walked up, Inga was there with a big smile, warm heart and tons of expertise. Inga not only has a wealth of knowledge and expertise, but she took the time to learn about my space and how best to frame the pieces so they would work well where I would be hanging them. Really appreciate this personalization and going far, far above and beyond. Madison and Ken were also stellar and it's clear they are all a cohesive team that really supports each other which benefits the customer too. Someone in management/corporate needs to give Inga and the whole framing team a ginormous raise pronto!

Took a numbered print in to be framed. The number was on the back of the print so we agreed to have…read morea cutout on the back so that the number would be visible. When I went to pick it up, the matting on the front was sloppy and there was space between the print and the matting. When I expressed concern about the quality, the individual said, well it's not that bad but I guess the customer is always right. Then the cutout on the back was so sloppy I said a third grader could have done a better job. I requested that it was to be redone and could they prioritize it has I had waited 3 weeks, he said no but that there would be no additional change. Why would I pay more for a subpar job? Got a phone call that the picture was done again. When I went to pick it up the mat was better, but the cutout on the back to display the number was nonexistent. When I expressed my concern to the assistant store manager, there was no apology or expression of remorse. I was extremely frustrated and told her the original cutout looked like it had been done by a third grader and that it wasn't her fault and she said the was the third grader who had done it. She seemed not to care at all.
