I am a recurring customer at this Lakeshore location and was disappointed during my visit today…read more The sales associate was standing at the front of the store and did not greet me. Shortly after, I clearly heard her loudly welcome a white family with "hello, welcome in." All customers deserve to be treated equally and with respect. A simple greeting makes a big difference, and I hope management addresses this moving forward.

As a K-12 teacher, I know what to look for, and this shop has so many great options that foster growth, meaningful play, and academics in a fun way.

The owner, Jenn, is amazing and kind, and she hand-selects every item to ensure it has real developmental value. The staff are always friendly, helpful, and know the store inside and out.

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS! I chaperoned 60 kids as a parent…read morechaperone and a staff member. They have "nigh security" that actually terrorizes children in their hotel room. Sam Lara specifically had at least 20 boys in full on tears as he was yelling at them, slamming doors, banging on doors, etc.. it actually felt like "scared straight" except these were good kids that were supposed to be on a field trip that was strictly fun. I as a staff member and parent chaperone was "not allowed" to see my child to give him nightly medication. Sam shouted at me and scared all the children. They were only allowed to interact with him. Not call any teachers or parents. Then on our last night a boy got sick in the night. Threw up everywhere. Called "night security" 4x but night security was asleep and didn't answer and the children were LOCKED in their rooms for 3 hours with vomit everywhere and no cleaning supplies. The guides treated everything with fire and brimstone and the kids were stressed the majority of the trip. Between long boat rides where kids are vomiting to "bonfires" with homeless people. Never again! This is incredibly dangerous.

There are Sun Devil Campus Store locations across all four ASU campuses, and while the Tempe Campus…read morelocations are the largest, this particular location has been around for a few years at the Downtown Phoenix Campus. It was once located in the University Center (UCENT) Building and is now located on the northeast corner of the new law school building. I enjoy browsing the many Sun Devil items from State 48 shirts to books to gifts for others to fancy button-down shirts and polos for me. They honor discounts for alumni and employees. I visited the store recently just after the start of the new semester, and they even had a few items up for sale. The staff are helpful and friendly, and there is plenty for everyone as the store is a good size with all sorts of potential gift items for others or yourself. Paid parking is available in lots or in meters just around the area where the store is. It is open Mondays through Thursdays from 9 AM to 4:30 PM and Fridays from 9 AM to 4 PM. It is closed Saturdays and Sundays. There are several different areas within the store from the bookstore in the back to the general campus store throughout the rest of the store. There is also an active store online, where you can sign up for e-mails and get 10% off today by going to https://www.bkstr.com/arizonastatestore. Every now and then, there are clearance sales or employee or alumni appreciation sales including discounts on Apple educator prices each year. Two years ago, I recall a promotion where many products were 75% or more off in a grand clearance, which I've only seen happen once every so many years. I highly recommend any Sun Devil student, faculty, staff, alumni, or fan in general to visit this store at some point!

Review for Cartel…read more This location was so charming, especially being right inside the ASU bookstore! The customer service was awesome from start to finish. My daughter and I walked up to the counter ready to order, and I knew I wanted a mocha--but I wasn't completely sure. Hunter stepped right up to the register, already fired up and ready to help. I asked him, "Do you think I want a mocha?" and without hesitation he said yes! We both laughed, and then he suggested adding vanilla, which had me completely sold. Then he started talking to my daughter about a couple of other drink options, and wow--he had me reconsidering my whole order! My daughter reminded me that I don't like prickly pear, but Hunter kindly let me sample it anyway. Sure enough, I still didn't like it--but he made it sound so delicious and refreshing that I almost believed I would! We left already planning our next visit just to see Hunter again. If you get the chance to have an encounter with him, take it! He truly knows the products and how to market them. And most importantly, I loved the mango tajín limeade matcha and my daughter enjoyed her prickly pear herbal tea. They both were absolutely excellent.

Ask your legislator for details. If the Public School System is considered a failure, it is because they ensured it would be. By removing known required, levels of funding. Ask, your legislator. Education Vouchers, transfers assets to those who may not need it, to those in areas known to vote for specific legislators. Their constituency is well off as they are, so who cares? It isn't them. They live in gated communities. Their kids attend " Charter or Magnet Schools and private schools ". They want for nothing. So, they take from the Public School System to line up votes from their base voters in the land of wealth and excesses. Because they can. They make the rules and approve the voucher game. Economic reports state Arizona Public Schools will become bankrupt and ripe for privatization by making them inefficient albatrosses and turn public opinion against them in favor of privatization. Which always resulted in higher costs and lesser service, to the taxpayer, where ever it was attempted. In all cases, the taxpayer and their kids, got stuck with the bill. The privateers walked away with everything and every monetary asset. Whether it was privatized water treatment, sewage treatment, schools, take your pick. Read the reports from New York State, Iowa, Idaho, Northern California. The taxpayers got stiffed. And had to pay to repair and rebuild the infrastructure privatization was paid to operate and maintain. Using unlicensed personnel from Parking lots, bars and anyone who they could find, for peanuts. Working under a central licensed individual who wasn't on site or even in the state. Efforts to recover costs is ongoing due to loopholes allowing out of state privateers to take over existing facilities with inadequate or lax oversight. Trying to recover lost funds requires an act of God for the citizens who got ripped off. See for yourself. Ask your legislator.
