This is my absolute favorite place to take the kids when we are just trying to chill and not get into too many activities. The store is large enough to find almost anything you like, but it's small and comfortable enough for me to let my kids walk around and shop for books while I look in my section. It's also organized well enough that they are able to walk around and find their own items without much help. (They are 9 and 12) Staff is very helpful and answers any questions without complaints. I have never seen the place dirty or anything even in the floor. They sell comics, gaming accessories, posters, socks and coffee cups, crystals and tarot cards, books of course, novelty items, toys, and more! Prices on toys are a little steep and obviously newer books are priced at their highest, but throughout the store you can find books starting around just $2.50. I've also been told by someone who works there that if a book isn't available or sold in their store, they will order it for you and call you when it's been delivered and available for purchase in their store. All around good place. We LOVE it 💕
**Edited to add that I saw some people complaining about how the books are not in alphabetical order or separated by genre. They are most definitely separated by genre and in alphabetical order but only to an extent! They reorganize them and put them back in order to the best of their abilities but when shoppers are consistently picking books up and putting them down any old place, it tends to get that way! This is not the store's problem, this is a customer problem. Books do get unorganized at times but they also get put back eventually. If you have an experience with unorganized books, maybe your second experience will be after they have reorganized.
Good place to find gifts and nicknacks for special occasions. Book selection is pretty good considering all the different things they sell. Their DVDS are reasonably priced for resell. Their music sections is cool and beginner guitars are a good buy. Their trade in options seem fair except they will only give you half the cash value, you'll get more for store credit. But it's fast and better than just giving it away, just be aware they don't take stuffed toys or glass products for trade.
I like coming here for the books and my husband loves looking for new CDs.
The kids area does need to be gone through and fixed up, it's not organized 😑. But all and all I enjoy coming here.
I really loved coming here with my friend! The store was huge and they were up to date with some of the most popular books and items! I really like they have the second hand option for some cheaper reads and even a “date with a book” option for people like me who can’t decide!! My friend even found an awesome early birthday present for me.
