The women working there could not have been more friendly and patient with me and my 5 friends.

Everyone working is so rude and unfriendly. They don't greet you, they don't say thank you and it just doesn't have that cozy neighborly feel like it used to! Even my eight-year-old noticed how cold the staff is ! Their products have done nothing but skyrocket in price as well! Today will be my last visit after the rudeness we experienced at checkout! I'd rather go to Home Depot and buy plants for a third of the price and you can get the organic soil on Amazon for half the price ! At least at Home Depot they are friendly and they smile and you don't feel like they are judging you! :)

They sell weigh-and-pay candy and offer every candy imaginable, including classic favorites and sugar free candy. The candy is expensive- five pieces of pre-movie candy cost over $3. If you want packaged candy to snack on, you're better off at the grocery store or gas station. They carry seasonal candy, so chocolate bunnies are popular right now. Be sure to eat your chocolate bunny head first, so he doesn't watch his body get devoured.
