Their gift wrapping skills are on point! Love going in there and looking around at all they have to offer. Jean is always getting new products in to meet the latest and great needs. Weddings from around the county come in to her to make gift registries. It is a must check out kind of store!!

I took two pairs of pants in today to have zips replaced. I was told that the zips could be…read morerepaired rather than replaced. 15 minutes later I had two repaired pairs of pants. Amazing! Thank you!

Not "bad" service, but instead "no" service for me at least. I took a pair of pants to get hemmed…read moreand a white shirt to have the sleeves shortened. I waited over a month and a half and she still did not have time to fix one shirt and hem one pair of pants. I finally got tired of waiting and picked up my clothes. I took my clothes to another tailor that a co-worker recommended and got all my alterations done in four days. In my opinion, there seems to be a "prejudice" issue with this business. I strongly recommend that you take your business elsewhere because it appears that she doesn't have the time or the inclination to help someone like me.

Least intimidating bike shopping and repair experience I've had in a long time. Great selection of…read morehigh quality bikes for sale, mostly new but also occasionally used. Repair situation is great. In my experience, most repairs have been quick enough to take care of while you wait, which is completely unknown in my previous experience of bike shops. (I'm sure some repairs don't allow this, but it's never come up for me so far.) It's right downtown, which I mention only because it would be a pain to have to ride my bike to a part of town that isn't all that bike friendly. Pricing for repairs is also reasonable and in some cases they've simply not charged me. Hope to never be back! (hahahaha) but if I do, I know there's a reliable repair shop close to my house.

At the advice of my sister, I decided to check this place out. I went to orientation and came back…read morefor more orientation. This is a beautiful newer building (2 years old) and also beautifully landscaped. The programs here are really good ones, from different exercise classes to music to mourning meetings(for those who have lost loved ones). There's a Bistro in the middle which serves folks until 2 or 3. Each weekday. They have an adult daycare on the west end of the building. Lot parking. Great staff. Reasonable prices for different activities.

In the end we found out they hadn't even started on the sword. All it needed was new leather and wrap on the handle. I completely understand being busy and have sympathy for retail workers, but he originally told me it would be "2 weeks". Then another "2 weeks", then "i don't know" any time i asked after that. At least he was honest when he said he didn't know. He was very polite and apologetic about it though so i guess i'll put 4 stars instead of the 3 i was gonna give. Just don't expect fast work on personal requests pr orders.
