I saw a couple 1 star reviews based on returns. RC vehicles that work when sold cannot be returned once used! Too many people damage their RC due to lack of skill then expect a refund for some reason. This is not right! If you do encounter a problem days, weeks, or months after a purchase, contact the manufacturer and see if they can help! This is a hobby to learn and yes, damage and other problems happen sometimes, that is part of the hobby! Badically their prices are the standard, service is kind and courteous, and they have a great selection. 5 stars!

I do have friends that are Cubs fans and when I needed to get a couple of Cubs themed gifts for them, this is where I went. They have a large variety of different items that are Cub themed. We saw everything from Trinkets and clothing, to a pool table. They have items from other local teams, Some Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks (no Sox, go figure.) It wasn't a large selection, and since I wasn't looking for those teams I didn't pay much attention. The staff working that day was very helpful and patient with those of us ignorant in Cubs traditions and lore.

I finally purchased two small Christmas trees to include in the village, only to get home and discover I was overcharged.

I'm returning the entire purchase and supporting another store instead.

What a mess.

Even though the lines always seem to be long here, they move pretty fast with often more than one cashier on busy weekends. The frames section has a good selection of very nice and affordable frames. I also like the selection of yarn brands, colors, and different weights for crochet projects. Be sure to sign up for emails and watch for coupons that can save you a lot of money. There are currently some great, early Black Friday deals right now, like buy 1, get 3 free holiday ribbon rolls.

I like to come here for unique gift items too. Check out their Artist of the Month displays and special events too.

Hopefully will do more business in the future. And if you think dealing with online folks like Apmex or JM or Provident better in terms of prices, good luck. Buying won't be cheaper unless you buy large quantities. Then trying to sell to them, whole different matter and pain in terms of logistics and prices too. Price per ounce my ass.
