I've heard about this place and saw that it was part of the Houston Book Crawl so I decided to…read morecheck it out. This is a lovely small bookstore and the staff is very friendly and willing to help you find what you need. The books are pretty much spread out so they try to organize them in alphabetical order but it was hard to figure out genres where they're at exactly so I had to ask for help and of course it was right in front of me lol I will say the value of the books I was looking at were way higher than I expected than online prices but I get it that it's a local bookstore. Plus it's a brand new hardcover book. Other than that it's a cute shop and they seem to have fun events from time to time here so I'll check it out.

Typically I use the B & N location on Hwy 6 & 529 because that is what's closest to us. Well, my…read morekids begged me to go to another location to see if they had a book our usual location didn't have...they did and let me tell you, this location is huge and the selection of books did not let us down! B&N are known to have every book, every genre and just EVERYTHING and this location did not disappoint. The place was packed with book readers, kids, coffee breakers and staff to help. Unfortunately they do not take Starbucks points which is my only complaint!

When I opened the door, the smell of books greeted me. It was extremely cozy inside. I walked through and was getting ready to leave but Nikki, the owner, stopped me and thanked me for coming in. How personable and welcoming she is, I decided "go for it. Buy some books!". So I did. The inventory here, I imagine, revolves pretty quickly. Prices are awesome & definitely competitive to what you'd find elsewhere. Highly recommend for the bookish community! I bought a few books for me to

I was their first participant and Ms. Nikki made me feel so welcomed. I love how the bookshelves are arranged with the new books in front and as you walk through the building they're sectioned off with various fiction, sci-fi, nonfiction, children's, religion, and suspense books. Plus they have a sign that tells you the prices for used hardback and paperback books. The new books are pricier but I know they're worth it at least for me. This was a real treat to check out.

My last visit I bought canning jars, as I needed more for my home made preserves. I was surprised that they had them, so bought quite a few. In general I have been happy with all of the products I have bought here. The prices are good, the quality is surprisingly good, also. The service is good, not great, but I don't expect great at a discount store. One thing I don't recommend be purchased here is food. Nearly all of their food is infested with pantry moths. They're so abundant everywhere in the store that I inspect each item I buy individually before bringing into the house. Once infested, it's virtually impossible to get rid of them.

You need to know your prices because some items were much cheaper in Walmarts. My biggest disappointment was their book section. Very limited selections except for the children section and a large selection of crossword type of books. Maybe I was spoiled by their Wilkes Barre, PA store that had a super book section. Their book area rivaled some book stores. I did find a handled cloth to clean the inside of my car's windshield. That was cool. We will go back and give the store another shot in the future.

I had been looking for The Exorcist 4K steelbook for months as it sold out immediately from Best Buy. I was able to find it here with ease and at a reasonable price. They are right in the middle of the MARKET PLACE ANTIQUES MALL strip center. Not the "main" larger building with larger furniture or collectibles. Open on weekends only.

Having spent so much time in NYC over the years, I've rarely been privy (#1) to retail chains like…read moreOllie's, which is ginormous compared to all discount stores (#2) I've ever seen in my life. A "bargain outlet" with 500+ locations across 3 dozen states, they have massive inventory that covers everything from mattresses to children's books. If Costco and Dollar Tree had a baby, it would be named Ollie's. I hate to generalize by saying they have everything, but it's really hard to suggest that they don't. There's appliances, apparel, sporting equipment, toiletries, electronics, office supplies, storage supplies, shoes, sporting gear, pet supplies, home decor, etc. It's really easy to get lost in everything they have. However, calling in might be an issue as their customer service is very spotty at best. The website isn't the most reliable in confirming inventory, so perusing in person is usually ideal. At the end of the day, affordable stuff that doesn't feel cheap even when it is. More importantly, I've scored some impressive deals and almost everything was of good-to-great quality. "Good stuff cheap" happens to be their slogan and is a motto I can certainly live by whenever I shop here. ____________ (#1) aka "missing out" (#2) Most of the country has Dollar Tree.
