What Guests Are Saying
This store is amazing! Great staff, friendly, informative, and they don’t treat you like an idiot when you screw up basic math at the till (or over the phone). Also, best gummy candies in town, which are the perfect distraction for the wife when coming home with new cards/fresh packs. 17/10 stars.
Excellent book/games store with friendly staff. The store is constantly evolving with each visit, with everything from books, Lego, collectibles, board games, and snacks.
Nice place and friendly staff at the record/book store. For New vinyl i understand that prices are a bit high. But the used records are also a bit high.
