When I saw this shop, I decided to enter. As I walked in, I saw Ashley, the manager, standing near the counter. I asked for her assistance and described to her what I needed. Ashley made some recommendations and showed me a variety of toys that were aged appropriate. She spent a lot of time helping me until I felt satisfied with my decision. I ended up with the 5+ Burger Truck (see pic). If you have small children, this place has everything: fun, educational and interactive. Also, I loved the fact that they have free gift wrap service and interactive toys for children to enjoy while waiting for their moms to shop. Enjoy shopping for your children Moms!

I went in to Blick for a gift (they have a mechanical pencil that Wirecutter rates the best) and…read morewas impressed by their selection of art supplies. I am by no means a visual artist but I had a blast just looking at the supplies. What really blew me away was the customer service. I was greeted right away (as was everyone who entered the store) and informed that there was a sale going on and not to hesitate to ask if I needed assistance. I ended up taking them up on the offer to help as the pencil eluded me, but they put me on the correct path. Checking out was a breeze and they also told me I qualified for an educational discount of 10% everything not already on sale. All said, I got what I came for (along with a few other items) and was very happy with the experience.

They have a Starbucks on site too. Plenty of parking. Bathroom was gross tho. Amazon pricing can be competitive as well but I like being able to walk in and flip thru the books before I decide to buy. Can be hard to track down staff if they are helping others.

Who would've thought I would find an amazing graduation present last minute ( an hour before…read moregraduation ) in Yankee candle! I was already in the plaza and I had gone into every store not knowing what I wanted to get as a gift, so I came into Yankee candle. This location is a bit small , but super clean and super attentive and with a very nice worker. Sharon was the employee who helped me and welcomed me very nicely and was my helper for the next hour. I browsed the store not knowing what to do, explained to Sharon after I wondered around for some time and BOOM, she mentioned they have this thing where you can place an image on a candle and presto an amazing idea I printed a picture with a quote with an amazingly delicious smelling candle and it made a beyond perfect gift. My sister LOVED IT! At first I thought it was going to be tacky but nope! The image came out perfect and the quote I chose was just right. Sharon even wrapped it up nice nice for me with a bow an all. I had a really great experience in this location and I was beyond happy after I left. My sister has yet to light the candle because she doesn't want to waste it she says HAH!

For example, EVOO is very cheap. We normally spend upwards of $15-$20 on EVOO at Stop & Shop, Whole Foods as well as other places and it's $5.99 here for the same volume...how?!? I know what you're thinking, the quality is trash, but you'd be wrong. We did some research on what we bought and whether there are any additives and it checks out. I can't say that this is the case for all items, but worth a try to save some mula. This store looks like it's well taken care of. It's clean, organized and the staff here are great. There's not too much wrong I see here and we will continue to come regularly. -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

I was in the store for 20-30 minutes. I noticed this trend when any older lady came in. They only greeted the younger teens. They had personal conversations about the Hunger Games and Harry Potter while I was the only one in the store. On the other hand, the woman named Diamond was very nice and respectful. She noticed that I was not being helped and was not judgmental at all. I was put off by the other 2 ladies and felt that they were very unprofessional.

This store is laid out pretty clearly. A big section of magazines. New and discounted books by the door. Customer service and a cafe on the right side near the magazines. Check-out is to the left as you enter. The childrens section is pretty big and had a lot of customers young and not as young reading in there. Books for all (childrens) ages from picture books to chapter books and graphic novels. I had a new author in mind and they had his books in stock. That was a pleasant surprise. On the way to check-out I saw an adorable Halloween book I thought a 9 month old I know might enjoy and added that to my pile. Parking is in a large, shared lot.
