I was shopping in the Austell area and decided to visit Five Below because, why not?! I'm a fan of…read morethe brand so when I see one in the area, I always like to poke my head in to see what goodies I can pick up on the low. This Five Below is located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. It was an extremely tidy and quiet area, even on a Saturday afternoon. When I walked up to the door, I was surprised to see that they were actually noted as the 1,500th store and only recently opened - how cool! All Five Below locations have the same flow and I'm not mad at it. This one was stocked quite well, especially for the holiday season. As well as being quite tidy. They had a great selection of seasonal decor, candies, stocking stuffers and anything else I feel like one could ask for. Beyond their holiday options, the other departments were also stocked to the brim. I love how Five Below has upgraded some of their departments like their home decor, although I don't love that they aren't well, $5 or below, lol. Since I didn't really go into the store with a list or plan in mind, I didn't go crazy but walked out with a shiny gold plastic tree that goes along with my Christmas decor and a few of their cute screen printed tees that are always my favorites. There weren't many sales associates on the floor but I don't think they need them as the store kinda speaks for itself, smart way to save on costs. They also only had self-checkout which I am always a fan of. A great stop into a new location!

The lady behind the counter clapped at me that I had to stand in regular line. She proceeded to point at the holiday retail line that was to the back of the store. I questioned her, she once again barked at me and told me to complain to the manager. I asked clearly "what's the point of online purchase advertising that literally advertises skip the line?" The manager came over and also told me I had to go wait in the line. I walked out and called kohls and cancelled my order. I received an email that my order was cancelled. The following day I received an email "order was picked up". And I never got a refund. I had to once again call. I have a hunch employees often mark items as "picked up" when they have been there too long. And help themselves. Everything about this experience was dirty.

They also don't have as many brand selections as other locations which is a deterrence. For example, I buy my kids Nike sets at Kohl's and they don't carry it at this location.

Honestly, I stand by everything said in my original review, however in recent months for whatever…read morereason staff has been so incredibly rude and uninterested in being helpful. Like to the tune of watching you struggle at self check out and just not doing anything to help. Not being able to answer any questions (even like basic product knowledge), and just unfriendliness in general. The dollar section often doesn't have what other locations are stocking and is typically sold out of what they do have. There has been an uptick in low stock, where I will place a pick up order and it gets canceled as well as a lot of broken or damaged merchandise including routinely broken glass, pottery, and mirrors. I had an incident recently, when I cut my hand on a broken piece of mirror that I was moving away from the edge (because kids touch thing they shouldn't and that's not safe) and the teenager who was the first person I found basically was like "not my problem" and actually directed me to where I could buy bandaids...I had to explain to her why it in fact was her and her manager's problem and asked for a first aid kit. She pulled a mashed up bandaid from her jeans pocket and rather than waiting for her to grab the manager, I left pretty pissed off by the interaction (still bleeding, but I keep a small first aid kit in my car that has pray peroxide and bandaids of all sizes) I get she was probably a kid doing a boring summer job but this seemed like a pretty common knowledge station that any retail location should be educating their staff on during training. If Target isn't, same on them. This was a minor issue but it would have been really bad (especially when broken glass and small children are involved) It's a shame because for general items this is my closest location by far and they had been steadily getting better but it seems to be tanking lately. So I am still driving into the city for most Target run's to avoid this location. Another note, Fitting rooms are closed on my last four visits and the lights are off...could we be getting new fitting room FINALLY? Probably not but it would be great if we did.

Not a huge Ross shopper to begin with but this is the location closest to my home and stopped in to…read moresee if I could find something I saw on social media. As always this location feels very disorganized, messy, and sort of empty. There's a lot of dead space that they could use to stock more items which sort of makes it feel like a thrift shop almost. Also on this visit I saw the same pair of shoes in 3 different sizes all with a different price. So even though I'm already not a big Ross shopper, in future if I need to stop in for anything, I'll go to different location.

I came in to return items -- all with receipts -- and was met with incredibly rude, unprofessional behavior from two cashiers, especially Gisele. She was impatient, dismissive, and slammed the scanner repeatedly, insisting my receipts didn't match (they did -- she just didn't bother looking properly). No apology when proven wrong. The second cashier was just as rude and literally threw my receipt back at me. I've never been treated so poorly in any store. I'll take my business to Hiram, Cumberland, or TJ Maxx from now on. Absolutely unacceptable

I ended up going to Ross and finding a $14 dress and wore that instead. Really tired of Asian owners coming into Black areas and profiting off of us but treating us like crap. Why do "our" stores always have stricter rules for us?? U don't see this at Abercrombie and Hollister. If I buy something and bring it back with a tag and receipt, it should be accepted.

This Walmart is located at the corner of East West Connector and Floyd Road. It is the anchor of a small shopping complex that also features a Dollar Tree, shoe store, battery/bulbs store and a wing spot. Given the shopping center, parking is decent. The lot is not as large as other Walmart's but it gets it done. I have popped in here for several things over the years and have learned that this location is best to visit before 12:00 PM on Weekdays. Anytime after noon on weekdays and legit anytime on the weekends, this place is insane...so, I recommend you plan your trips here accordingly! Inventory has never been an issue at this location, as for the most part I always find what I am after. Service is hit and miss, just like any Walmart, however I usually receive better service during the AM hours...so just another reason to plan that trip at the right time. Overall, this is your standard Walmart. There is nothing that makes this location stand out in a good or bad way. When in need, I will pop by.

From your home projects to outdoor living or sports and fitness , they have it all! While they do carry a reputation for low quality in the service arena, they do give you more bang for your buck particularly on products sold at other stores for more expensive prices.

These are used when your window screens on your home have weathered and rotted, or have been ripped from wear and tear. Very easy installation process.

I didn't really know what to expect but once I walked in, it looked like a Five Below-ish vibe but more mature. The big difference? The prices. There were some really good deals and some items that were a bittt overpriced, not crazy good deals on that end. But there were some particular items that really stood out pricewise and in terms of trend and quality. When I first walked in my eyes immediately went to the pens that were color-coded - so cute! It wasn't even the pens, but the bright way they were displayed and it didn't hurt that they were so many varieties and some classics in there like Pilot pens and gel pens. The clothes they had were so adorable but I wish they were cheaper to make me feel good about spending on more stuff I don't need, lol. Their "Go Sports" pieces were sooo me. They also had a bunch of holiday items up, party goods, cleaning items, so many things that I didn't expect. Cute store!

There ain't no shame in that Big Lots shopping game!…read more This Big Lots sits in the King Springs Shopping Center directly on South Cobb Drive near the Ford Dealerships. Given its location in the shopping center, parking is never an issue. The condition of their stores, including this location could definitely be better. I do not think they have invested any capital in this store in years. From the floors to the ceilings and all the way to the registers and carts...it's all in need of a good refresh/update! If you can get past the appearance you can really find some good deals at Big Lots. They have a decent grocery section that I use for snacks mostly. They also have a great kitchen/housewares section where I have scooped up several sets of silverware and cups from over the years. During the holidays I also swing in here as they always have a solid holiday section with a lot of items from small to large! In addition to everything above, they surprisingly have a good furniture section. I am not too ashamed to admit that in my younger days I got a couch and a bed from Big Lots. The couch has since moved on, but the bed still sits in our guestroom right now! Overall, I have been coming to Big Lots for random and particular things throughout the years...and I don't see that changing anytime soon!

Wow. Y'all!!…read more I had no idea of the wonderfulness that is Big Lots. My friend took me here today and it was like seeing Jesus or IKEA for the first time! They absolutely have EVERYTHING.

And the weekly circular that advertises specials. Seriously, just do it!

The staff there are so slow there's always a half hour long line no matter what, I usually skip and just eat whatever cost. Staff isn't friendly or knowledgeable.

It has never been absolutely terrible, but also it's never enough to make me write home about. I have been here when the store was in shambles, but on my last few visits they have cleaned up the floors and no longer keep heaps of boxes and product strewn across the aisles. So, all in all it was a fairly clean Dollar Tree, which is a rarity in these parts! Product wise, you can find all the staples you are used to at DT here. However, they do have a limited food section. They do not feature cooler/frozen foods, and have limited non-perishables as well. Overall, I try to avoid this shopping center when possible, but when in need, this is a solid Dollar Tree to swing through on occasion.

So listen up DTS East-West Connector if I had a buggy/shopping cart I would have spent more than $3. Okay! The one saving grace is the employees here are always so nice and kind! Hence 4 Star instead of the 3 Star for the store alone.
