Love loved the store! Tbh I’m a really big book worm and they had so many options. I was able to find a book series that has like 12 books for cheap prices. The people there are also extremely friendly and welcoming

This buisness throws perfectly good, looks to be brand new books, DVD, and toys in the trash when they don't sell them! Instead of donating them to librarys, homeless shelters, or those in need overall they trash them its absolutely sad and disgusting. I will never support such a money hungry greedy business that adds to the global waste issue simply because they aren't profiting off the items.

This store is amazing! I'm from Phoenix, Arizona and we have a Zia Records and Bookman's that I can compare this, too, and to me it's like they both combined and turned into a superstore. Plus, the customer service was amazing and the store was very clean and well organized.

I can see this is more of a bookstore than anything, but I like the variety of products they have besides that. Comics, video game peripherals, and even actual games, including old school ones! What made me lose respect for them was the prices on some of the Switch games. I know it's recently new but...$64 for Pokemon Legends: Arceus?! Target is LITERALLY right next door and you can get that for several bucks cheaper! Looks like it's better just to go to 806 Games if you want better deals.
