Poor service and the people behind the counter were lazy and didn't seem to care about selling the gun just getting the customer to be done and not buy it, i will not return to buy a gun or anything due to lack if help.

I've never been to this store before. Saturday, May 19, 2018 was the first time I ever tried to…read moreshop here. I found a pair of sneakers I liked. I tried them on and decided to buy them. They had two display sneakers marked for $39.99 of the style I had tried on. I took them up to the register and they rang up for $54.99. I explained to the salesperson that both colors were on display for $39.99. He went and looked and came back and said that was a mistake and people move shoes around all the time and the best he could do was $50. He said he couldn't go below $40 because that wouldn't pay for the cost of the sneaker. I said NO. I know how bait and switch works and that is what this was, not a mistake that BOTH colors of the same style were in the wrong place. You are hoping that the customer is weak and will fall for that BS. You should be ashamed of yourself. I will never shop in this company's store EVER. Lack of business ethics.

I am a recreational biker who wanted to find a good road bike at a good price to replace my current…read moreone. I visited local bike shops; I searched the net all in a bid to find a top bike at a good price. I quickly find out this task was not as easy as I thought as some shops were using some deceptive business practices. They would tease out a low price as a bait and switch tactic or to upsell. So, finally I came across Two Brothers Bicycle Company. They met my two requirements. They advertised the bike I was looking for on sale at the most competitive price around, but they were 200 miles away literally, in another state. Not knowing much about the company, and a little bit apprehensive, I reviewed their site. They looked legit. So, I decided to purchase the bike from them. They did not disappoint. In fact, they exceeded my expectations. Two Brothers Bicycle Company expertly put the bike together in no time, wrapped it tightly and shipped it across the state line. There was no interminably long wait, no beating around the bush, no excuses. The bike arrived so fast that it seemed like a dream. But I just ordered it, I thought. Two Brothers Bicycle Co. did a good job packaging the bike tightly so it arrived safely. The bike arrived in a big box. I thought it was going to be heavy, but it was light about 10-20 pounds. I am not mechanically gifted, but it in less than 30 minutes I was able to unbox and put the bike together. I then performed a pre-ride safety check to made sure the bike was road ready. I took a couple of rides of varying length and levels of difficulty. The fit and seat were comfortable - Check 1. The bike shifted swiftly and smoothly - Check 2. The brakes worked well, no squeaking - Check 3. Two Brothers Bicycle Company delivered on their promise. No tricks, no bait and switch, just a good bike at a good price. What I like about the company is their professional attitude. They don't care whether you're local, national or international, black or white, if you want a good bike at a good price, just check us out, we have one for you. I find them to be highly competent; an honest, reputable company that makes it a pleasure to do business with them. Even though I was miles away from them, they made it a breeze to purchase a bike from them. Now on to those long rides I've been wanting to take. Thank you for Two Brothers Bicycle Company for a great bike at a great price.

They are definitely a good alternative for a job where you have a small room. Their cooking utensils and gadgets are decent as well. They also have decent selsctions of cheaper furniture. They also have a limited selection of clothes, suit cases, and a large selection of housewares. They buy up left over lots from big box stores and then sell them in their store. This is a great way to give a deal to the customer and I am sure they are doing quite well in this economy. I love the fact that they repurposed a store space as this use to be a Kmart and a Sears after that. Maybe they need to clean a little bit, every once in a while. But, I like going to Ollie's.

I live in Chicago, but I am from the State College area and wanted my mom to be able to look at…read morewedding dresses with me. I was a bit nervous that a smaller area would not have many dresses to look at, but I was completely wrong! Formalities had a ton of beautiful dresses, including the one dress I saw online that I was in love with. The first shop I went into with the first dress dress I tried on was the "one". This dress also was much cheaper than it would have been in Chicago. Everyone there was so friendly. My dress got a TON of compliments from total strangers all day. My wedding was a wdw and I had the perfect princess dress. Thank you Formalities!

My fiancé initially had a genuinely good experience at Formalities when choosing her wedding dress…read more She was excited, found a dress she loved, and we expected the rest of the process to be just as positive. Unfortunately, once the actual dress arrived, the experience changed completely. When my fiancé went to try on her dress, it was incredibly tight. It took two grown women physically assisting her just to get her into it. Once it was on, the dress was so restrictive that she could barely breathe comfortably. Despite this, we were told by the owner that this was completely normal, that the dress was a perfect fit, and that it was supposed to be that tight. And to be very clear: there had been zero weight gain between ordering the dress and receiving it. In fact, my fiancé had actually LOST weight. This was not a situation where her body had changed significantly between measurements and the dress arriving. The real extent of the problem became apparent when we took the dress to a different business for alterations. The alterations specialist was baffled by the fit and the extremely limited amount of material available to correct it. In her professional assessment, the dress appeared to be approximately two sizes too small. Making matters worse, there was barely enough material available to perform the alterations necessary to make the dress fit properly. Thankfully, our alterations specialist was incredibly talented and managed to save the situation. She made the dress fit beautifully and, most importantly, made my fiancé feel comfortable, confident, and incredibly happy in her wedding dress. We cannot thank her enough for turning an extremely stressful situation around. What bothers me most about our experience with Formalities isn't simply that the sizing was wrong. Mistakes happen. It's how the situation was handled that we have a problem with. When a bride needs two people to force her into a dress and she can barely breathe once it's on, telling her that the dress is a "perfect fit" and that this is normal is extremely concerning. We felt that her legitimate concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. The paperwork and liability forms involved in the process made the situation even more frustrating once another professional examined the dress and identified just how significant the sizing issue actually was. A wedding dress is an incredibly important, expensive, and emotional purchase. A bride should feel comfortable questioning the fit of her dress without feeling pressured into believing that severe discomfort is somehow normal. Future brides: trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, speak up. Get your measurements confirmed, ask questions, and don't be afraid to get a second professional opinion before accepting that everything is "normal." My fiancé lost weight between ordering and receiving her dress, yet the dress that arrived was so tight that two people had to help force her into it. That fact alone summarizes why we were so frustrated with this experience. Thankfully, our alterations specialist saved the dress and gave my fiancé the experience and confidence she deserved. But knowing what we know now, we would take our time, patience, money, and sanity to a different bridal shop altogether.
