    It's as good as it gets. The owners love kids and toys. Free gift wrap except when there's a big sale. Love them!

    The service here is always great. Emploees will say hi in passing, giving you the opportunity to…read moreask a question if needed, and there's always someone at the info desk in the middle of the store. But for the most part, they recognize that a solid browse is usually needed before you'll be ready to check out up front. I admit, once I find my books I always (always!) take a right turn before checkout to do a solid walk-thru of the papers, calendars, binders, candy- everything yu need to have cool, pretty things on your desk or bookcase. And theyy get me every time. I ike that you can put a book aside to pick up and pay in store. Some times I'm not 100% sure that I'm buying the book I want, so it's handy to not have to pre-pay for a pickup. The selections on the tables up front are usually fairly interesting - mysteries, current releases, popular titles. There's always something there that I haven't read, or a great gift idea. Yep, people still like to give and get real paper books! While I keep a dozen or so ready-loaded on my Kindle, my first love are books that stay with you and I'm always gifting one to someone who I know still reads, or is learning to read, or doesn't know that they need to READ A DAMN BOOK! Because I'm only there to help! Go. Listen to a story time. Attend an author event. Or get a Starbucks at the counter and grab a table. There are many worse ways to spend some time quieting your mind.

When I happened upon the Barnes & Noble at Derby St Shops, I came to realize that I had somehow been mentally convinced that there were no more open locations. So this was a pleasant surprise! Nice and spacious with a well decorated children's area and a Starbucks on the right. Stop on by and peruse some books!

    There is much more than just paper in here. In fact it…read moreseems that this is a store with many mini shops within it. A lot of the merchandise does center around "paper" like cards, gift wrapping accessories and stationery. However that turns out to be just the tip of the iceberg. Some of the other things they have include Vera Bradley merchandise, costume jewelry, the very fun Alex & Ani bracelet collection, some women's clothing, candles, children's toys, books, local Massachusetts items, home decor like Mariposa and plenty of other things that can be attention grabbers. It's crazy how I can get myself caught up in here looking around. It's hard not to find a little something to buy myself or something as a fun gift for a friend. Ironically I suppose, I don't love the card selection as they Hallmark which are not my favorite. Last year I purchased a Vera Bradley carry-on tote for a trip I was taking. It's a travel bag I've come to love. Not only is it pretty (VB fabrics can be really eye-catching) but I can fit so many things into it and because it's "soft-sided" it's easy to stuff into an overhead bin on a plane or even under the seat. Contrary to another review which said returns are difficult, I found it quite easy to exchange an Alex & Ani bracelet I received at Christmas. I had gotten two of the same bracelet and they happily let me pick out another even without having a receipt. If you sign up for their rewards program, you will regularly receive coupons and a special treat in your birthday month. Nothing too precious here, just some happy shopping in a large, clean, friendly store.

They have knowledgeable staff that can…read morehelp you make decisions, teach you how to use cams, also has classes for beginners on site (by reservation i believe). The store was pretty spacious i did think they would have much more inventory but i know the "hype" models are hard to keep in stock and manufacturers don't exactly produce them heavily ie. GX7 cannon. We just got into shooting and have a a6400 but are in the market for the gx7 as a slightly smaller travel one. Theres many pocket options that look straight out of the 2000s not much seem to have changed on them except price and a few more mp available. Now if they don't have something in stock, you could put down a card for preorder and they'll call and charge you when it's in. Great spot!

I heard that sometimes if you visit local camera shops, they may have inventory or have a way to get the camera you want without as much hassle. First impressions: the store is honestly much smaller than I expected but they a good amount of options & all cameras are in the cases/protected. The staff allows you to see the product though, upon request. Unfortunately, they didn't have the camera I wanted in stock. They did say that they could order it for me and to expect a 1-2 month wait but that it would be shipped to me if I did want to place the order. Though I haven't decided yet if I want to go through with ordering the camera yet, it's good to know that I can order it from here for retail price! Really nice staff here & I would definitely come back again! Very helpful and knowledgeable.

    It's a Walmart. We came in to pick up snacks for a roadtrip and found some of the things we were…read morelooking for. We had hoped they would have fresh fruit, but they don't carry produce unfortunately. It was handy and prices were ok.

    Look... Walmart is not supposed to be, or provide a shopping "experience". You could say that about…read moreother department stores, and maybe even Target, not here. They have almost everything under the sun, but the idea is to buy it, pay, and leave. With that said, not all Walmarts are created equal, and this one falls somewhere in the middle, hence the three stars. There isn't a plethora of employees out and about, but I've not had a negative interaction. A handful of people have had better days, but for the most part, our interactions have been pleasant, and if someone didn't have an answer, they would find out. Furthermore, Walmart is cheap! Some staples like eggs, milk, cheese may be cheaper than the Stoppy right next door. If you find you buy these things on the regular, do take a look at the prices, a couple extra bucks saved definitely doesn't hurt. Likewise, don't overlook the pharmacy. After my insurance decided to no longer cover my medication, and a different pharmacy wanted an arm and a leg, Walmart came through. Sure, it's not open 24 hours, but you can get your meds at prices cheaper than most. (though, in the hopes of saving you a couple bucks, if you have a Costco or BJ's membership, as them their rates). In terms of negatives: The store is organized a bit funny, with mailing envelopes being quite close to bicycles! On the one hand, I realize there is only so much that can be done when you carry everything under the sun. On the other, look to what Target did in keeping all sporting goods in one area as opposed to two. Second, I feel as though the displays could be a little tidier. Items are stocked for the most part, but having them arranged a bit nicer would not hurt. Finally, while they do have four self-scan registers because there are not a whole lot of regular registers open, lines can get a little on the long side. I've heard someone describe Walmart as a blue Target. Well, these stores couldn't pass as twins, maybe siblings (but maybe), but definitely cousins.
