Anytime I need to buy a gift for a child, this is definitely the place to come. They always tell me what the newest item that kids love and help me get the perfect gift. I also love the fact that they gift wrap. And it's always wrapped so pretty and colorful with all the ribbons! Sometimes the gifts are just too pretty to unwrap. I highly recommend this place. It's just a cool place to come!

The two gentlemen at the counter very loudly said "I hate when randos come in and especially kids" and looks directly at him. Only person in the store is my kid. My kid is 17 and wanted to purchase some comics. Truly a poor way to treat someone who frequents other comic stores. Just won't be going to this one. I advise not to go and spend your money in a place where they don't want random people walking in.

I usually love Ollie's, but unfortunately, this one trip kind of missed the mark. The store was an…read moreabsolute wreck and looked like a bomb went off inside it. On one aisle, there were so many items shoved onto the shelves that you couldn't even tell what they were, and it would have been hopeless to try and sort through them to find one that you liked. In another area of the store, there were just ripped boxes placed on top of a shelf, and again, you couldn't even tell what the merchandise was, and it looked very disorganized. In the rug and carpet section, it was perhaps the most disorganized that I've ever seen a store be, and there was even a carpet sticking out into the aisle, making it impossible to pass through. I know that you don't really go to Ollie's for an organized and aesthetically pleasing shopping experience, but this one trip was a little too excessive. Luckily, this was the first time that this has happened to me at this Ollie's, so I'm hoping that it was just a one-time thing, and I'll still be back in the future.

We both read our book for the month, come together with our wine, and charcuterie board then discussed parts of the book that impacted us in some way. Really exciting and fun, to not only highlight the book but just coming together conversing. I absolutely love Barnes & Noble! If you're a reader you know:) So if you're relaxing today, snuggle up with a good book from Barnes & Noble. They have great selections and I promise you will find a book that won't break the bank. Happy reading!

We were using a Visa gift card to pay for a portion of these items when the owner/manager informed us that they couldn't process the gift card because of their antiquated transaction equipment. He said "we type the card information in manually and sometimes it works". Hmmm, sounds as if this has happened before and it'd be smart to update your systems to accommodate your costumers. He was rude and combative when we expressed how dissapointed we were that this happened. He doesn't want your business. The items are over-priced for used CDs and records anyway.

They sell guitars, vinyl records, graphic tee shirts, stuffed animals, assorted Legos, and my favorite, the mystery boxes! What I particularly enjoyed about 2nd & Charles was that they had all of the new titles and bestsellers, as well as a large collection of eclectic and vintage books that you could check out and peruse. They also offered you the opportunity to sell and trade books that you've finished, and had a section of books that were "lightly used" and highly recommended from previous readers. In addition, although I don't play video games myself, they had a nice collection of video games that were brought in from previous users, as well as a humorous assortment of t-shirts and office supplies that are sure to break the monotony of a regular office space. To conclude, 2nd & Charles was such a fun and unique store, which offered a dynamic combination of new and used books, music supplies, video games, and a range of other interesting miscellaneous items. I'm so glad that I stopped in, and while I don't really see myself becoming a "regular", I'll definitely be back in the future, and would recommend that anybody stop in if they're looking for a change of pace and exciting shopping opportunity!
