I had passed this place several times in the past, and I was curious about it. I usually go to…read moreWalmart for groceries, but it can be so crowded & difficult to navigate. One evening after dinner at Jalisco's nearby, I finally decided to check out this place. Prices are pretty reasonable, & they have a good selection of some bathroom, home, kitchen, & office stuff. Some of their inventory was being restocked, so getting around the aisles could be challenging. The hours aren't always convenient for everyone, & I needed a 15-minute reminder that the store was near closing. But I found plenty of things I needed at a reasonable price, with friendly staff. They missed one of their anti-theft tags on one of my packs of socks (& I didn't realize it until 3-4 days later), but I returned with the pack of socks & my receipt, & they took off the device in an understanding manner. That process took barely 2 or 3 minutes of my time. So convenient! Walmart or Brookshires may have a bigger selection of grocery & food items, but I would definitely like to shop here again, especially right before traveling.

This store, however, was a complete wreck. Things in the middle of the aisles, things shelved in wrong sections of the store, employees that don't know where anything is located. The store was also not well kept-many burnt out bulbs,filthy floors,and a restroom most truckstops would be ashamed to call their own! Why then did they even get two stars? Cause like I said I love me a good deal-and I was able to find several of them!

I found 3 at a store in Tyler but I live closer to Terrell and wanted my husband to pick which one fit best. I checked online and yes, they had the same 3 chairs in stock. When I arrived with truck and hubby ready to buy, only 1 chair was on the floor. I asked a young man about the others and he said yes, they had them but they had not been opened. I asked him to. He refused unless I guaranteed him I'd buy it--even before trying it! Aggravated, I called the Mesquite store, only 20 more miles down the road, and after talking with 3 people, even though the website said they had the chairs in stock, no one could walk over and tell me for sure the chairs were on the floor! It's not rocket science! What everyone didn't know, I was going to buy 2 chairs. There was a 20% off sale that day. I feel like I wasted an afternoon and gas. Too mad to go back right now.
