How many times have you encountered a specialty store that lived up to your preconceived notions…read moreabout the business, but surpassed those ideas? If your answer is "Never!" or "Not very often!" then I will tell you that I was a member of that club. That was true until today. I have Parkinson's Disease, which affects my gait when walking and erodes the strength in my muscles, especially my legs. However, a friend suggested that I make an appointment at the FootWorks store in Pickerington, Ohio, and just see what they can do for me. She allayed my concerns that they "would only want to sell me orthotic inserts." she told me this store would talk to me about what I needed to ease my pain and suffering, yes suffering. My wife and I made an appointment, and due to a customer cancellation, we were able to get in earlier. So, today we went to the store. Justin, co-owner, greeted us both. Then, he talked to me about my needs. I explained my need to get shoes that fit properly and allowed me to walk safely. My wife and I are participating in "Moving Day" in October, to support the Parkinson's Foundation by fund-raising and walking a full mile course. Even though I have contracted painful cellulitis in my left leg, I am still determined to complete the distance. Justin was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and "willing" to work with me to provide the tools (shoes) to accomplish my personal goal. I knew my own shoes did not fit and caused even more pain and trouble. He measured both of my feet and told me he knew why I was having pain. My own shoe, a size 11, was not the correct size for my feet. I am really a size 12 1/2. No wonder I had blisters, bruises, and my feet hurt all the time! What a relief to hear that something could be done! But, only buying shoes that were my correct size was not the answer. I needed shoes that supported my feet, alleviated some of my pain. Justin showed me several different walking shoes "in my size" that surprised me with how comfortable they were. My walker is used for mobility, and as Justin and my wife watched me walk down the hallway, they remarked about how I was standing taller, my ankles were unlocked but supported and I was not dragging my feet, as I normally walk. (A common characteristic of people with advanced Parkinson's Disease). My belief about any business has always been that "customer service is the hallmark of any company." If you feel the same way, then check out FootWorks where you will be given outstanding customer support and shown quality products for your foot needs. The FootWorks Store is highly recommended by my wife and me. I ordered a pair, but will sadly have to wait till next week to get them shipped to the store. However, I have waited far too long already to get good shoes like these, so one week isn't really that long. Besides, I need to heal from my cellulitis so that I can continue my mile-long walking goal with my team. Maybe I'll see you on Parkinson's Moving Day. We'll likely recognize each other by how comfortably we are walking around on the trail!

Haven't been in Kohl's for probably 10 years I decided to go to the Kohl's in pickerington and they…read moreare very busy and I asked somebody in there why they said oh it's 40% off today if you use your Kohl's credit card or if you apply for Kohl's credit card I'm thinking okay great I'll apply for one I got three pair of shoes I go up front to the cashier I said can I apply for a credit card today and get 40% off my shoes she said sure so after about 15 minutes of answering questions and click this and click that and it went through no problem she said oh you can't get 40% off the shoes cuz they're brand name I said excuse me she said yeah we don't give any discount on brand name shoes so I politely ask for the manager the manager was a young woman didn't look like she was over 20 she was very snotty shacked it like it was a hassle to come up front and see a customer and she said yeah we don't give the discount on brand name items? Now I know why I haven't been to Kohl's in 10 years they get you coming and going so I guess I'll give you 40% off if you buy their junk but if you buy anything that's name brand you don't get the 40% discount the place was very dirty clothes thrown all over the place the shoe department was the worst I've ever seen nothing in the right place many boxes were completely empty nothing that they showed on the top shelf for the display was underneath where all the shoes were just very very disorganized it'll be at least 10 years plus before I go back to that cold store very disappointed and I looked at some of the other prices on clothes and stuff like that to me it seemed very expensive

This is not only our favorite board shop in town but probably the best around. The owner is super…read morefriendly and helps you out with all the questions! They had a custom board made for the COVID 2020 nonsense as you can see in the photo. The prices are super reasonable and they have a ton of great stock to build a custom board or to replace parts on yours. They also have pre-built boards if you're looking to get riding quickly. The store has some great clothing, shirts and pants, great shoe selection, and used records. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area and need to get on some wheels. We will definitely be back again for more!

For years I've past by this shop in the end of a very-small strip plaza in Olde Pickerington…read moreVillage. I'm very impressed with this skate shop! Mason has an awesome niche of a business in the heart of Pickerington. Attentive, helpful, and pleasant to chat with. His original skate store was in downtown Lancaster for several years, but as business slowed and many closed up shop, he eventually closed that store because of the dying foot traffic, and opened this current brick-and-mortar. Across the street from one of the junior highs and high schools, he gets a steady flow of young patrons looking to feed their skateboarding addiction. Pickerington even built a skate park for the locals. He's aware of the current trends, and does a great job sticking what's in style and on-culture. This store has a little bit of everything: skateboards, wheels, shoes, apparel and accessories, name brand stickers, and even current punk mostly vinyl records, too. If you are in need of some board repair, this is the perfect place. There's not many independently owned skate shops left around, and I'm so glad Careless Heart is thriving! Oh, and this store is perfect for gifting. If you have family/friends into the skateboard culture, ta da! From small inexpensive paraphernalia to larger purchases, there's all kinds of stuff to appease that person.

I've called the store and gave them my transaction information/name/phone number at least 3 times, I've called customer service and I've emailed. NOTHING. I have my receipt from the purchase and the return. No one cares. I've contacted my credit card company to file a dispute, and just faxed them a copy of my receipt. I gave the customer service one last call yesterday, and was put on hold while they called the store (again) to look up my info to see what happened. I was supposed to receive a call last night after they figured out the problem to let me know if I could come into the store to just get my money back, or what. GUESS WHAT?? NO ONE called me. Shocker. I will never do business with a Maruices again. No one at this store cares about customer service. How would they like it if they returned merchandise and were still waiting to get their money back over a month later? Not to mention all the time I've spent on the phone, looking up phone numbers, email, etc.

They really overdid it with this store. It's massive, one of the biggest I've ever seen. It's drop dead gorgeous, too. Very clean. It looks like they have every product in the world in there. Once in a while you'll find a bare shelf, but they generally work quickly to fill those gaps. I don't recommend produce from here. Too many instances where it starts to turn after only a day at the house. Watch the scanner when ringing up your goods. I resorted to taking a photo of every price of every item I purchase. Even a few discrepancies is too many. I've also noticed a type of bait and switch by where a larger size package of the same product sits behind a sale sign advertising the smaller version. What then happens is you take the larger, more expensive item to check-out thinking you have the item that's on sale. End result? They push more of the larger size since they probably ran out of the stuff that's on sale. I watch to make sure it's not the other way around. That would be criminal and illegal. So far, I have NOT seen this. Just be vigilant while you enjoy this beautiful shopping experience. 06/24
