They are a throwback to the days of absolute professionalism in the watch and clock (and music box) business, not to mention outstanding, and I mean outstanding, customer service and communications. Highest recommendations!

Their designs are unique and refreshing--not at all like the typical box jewelry stores and the value is truly excellent for the quality you get. I knew they were the real deal when we ran into another young couple in the store that my husband works with. If you get a chance check out their beautiful vintage pieces & also their own designs. Definitely worth checking out!

It is quick and convenient…read more I stock up in the candy isle I get gag gifts and weird decor in the seasonal aisle I get gift exchange items in the as seen on tv section I get birthday party items for kids by walking the store And, oh yeah, deodorant, floss, cleaning supplies, camping last minute things like wet wipes. All of those purchases where I am too lazy to zig zag back and forth at a bigger store, I can get here in a quarter of the time. My time matters. I can buy milk and snacks and beverages and bandaids. I can go in sick and not infest the world. These are all good things.

Even then, it will tell you that you have one caller ahead of you for half that time. Understaffed, underpaid and overpriced. If you want to be the most frustrated you've ever been, give them a call!

I do not understand the management of this company. They hire supervisiors that are incompetent…read more they do not know how to do much of anything and depend on the floor employees to show them.

It would be far better to let them go and give the employees a raise, instead of paying these useless people..

If you don't then pretty much plan on only being here as long as they need you then be let go, cause that's exactly what's going to happen. Once you get full time permanent. they pay is great, and the benefits are as well. Sadly for me I had a supervisor who was less than supportive or helpful. My foreman loved working with me, but the supervisor was another story (thankfully I have heard she retired not too long ago). Forklift operators and Machine operators make the most here, quick change area workers make the least, jump through all their hoops do as they say, don't talk back or engage in gossip, there are a lot of back stabbers, and brown nosers here, so watch what you say and do. Get hired on full time and you have a home up until the day you decide to retire. I recommend them, just mind your P's and Q's.

5/5 experience. I attended a 4 course (5 if you include the wedge salad) Italian style menu/demo…read more This reminded me of a supper club I attended years ago in south Florida. This concept was slightly different as the pasta portion was hands on. I really enjoyed that because I learned a good bit about pasta & Ive made it in the past but it was so dense. Food was delicious throughout. They also have a bar & have some seasonable cocktails so that was a nice touch. I enjoyed that it was interactive & open. The space itself is designed well & the kitchen is what I dream of having in my own home one day! Haha. They offer so many different events all with different price points.

It's always reminded me of the book store in You've Got Mail and just that lovely old school toy store feel. It was the only toy store we had but it was perfect. The marbles were always one of my favorites and the large stuffed animals of lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Worth the trip every single time

Pumpkin Patch is one of my favorite stores in all of Iowa!…read more It's a wonderful local independent Toy store, with fun for the whole family! I always loved walking by the huge stuffed animals in the windows when I lived in Ames! They have classic toys from the 50's, to modern stuff kids today would dig! Great selection of stuffed animals, books, nut crackers, games, toy cars.. you name it they got it! They also do a fantastic job of wrapping those Christmas gifts for the little special ones in your life! The store is a fantasy world of fun, for all ages and I highly recommend stoping in here if you make it to Ames ever! I feel like JOSH from the movie BIG when he walks into FAO Shwarz for the fist time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yu62StlsMY

When I asked if it would arrive by Christmas they said and I quote. I don't know. Well I checked with ups and it won't be delivered until 12-27. Very disappointed. The rest of the fee world the shippers can give you a promise time and in almost all cases deliver something within ten days of ordering. They could do neither.
