I am a frequent Michael's customer. I would like to recognize the exceptional service I receive…read morewhen I shop at the Michael's in College Station, specifically from Vallery and Dominica. Every time I've needed assistance, they have been knowledgeable, friendly and helped me quickly resolve my issue. I am treated like a valued customer and they greet me when I enter the store and thank me when I leave. They are one of the reasons that I enjoy shopping at Michael's. They should be commended for their outstanding service!

I'm a lover of the Michaels chain and have been a long time customer. Unfortunately it appears they…read moreare not keeping up with their standards. This particular Michaels was in disarray with carts full of product sitting in multiple aisles. I only saw one employee. Usually there are more and are available if you need assistance. The saddest part for me personally was the only available checkouts were self checkouts. Of course mine was the one that didn't work and No one was there to assist. This is unacceptable. This is not a reflection on all Michael's locations, for me it only applies to this one. They can do better especially in a busy college town.

Let's get one thing straight: I always hated and feared Hot Topic. This is funny as I have tattoos…read more& piercings, and I adore the clothing and accessories here. I usually prefer their online option. That said, the staff at this Hot Topic are the nicest I've ever encountered in the chain. The customer service exceeded my expectations. They help with sizing, style decisions, and more. They never push you to purchase something. Very respectful and respectable crew!

His staff was absolutely the most team oriented group with all providing help and no one trying to be superhero know-it-all which happens way too often. Their prices can't be beat, and speaking from personal experience , it is a great escape from the drama of having horses and/or dogs in surgery at the best Vet Hospital in the world (totally unbiased as I am 3rd generation Longhorn). Go enjoy the low pressure, high intellect of this great store!

I ventured into Bear Mountain right after the holidays to get properly fitted for hiking boots…read morebefore an overseas backpacking trip. I've done a bit of day hiking before, but never been professionally fitted or been on multi-day trips. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I could not have been more pleased. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The guy who helped me spent a lot of time answering questions and helping me be sure I got the best fit- and I ended up with a less expensive boot than I expected (which never happens). They had really good sales at that time, and I ended up coming back the next day to get a new pack. On the following day, I found an equally friendly and knowledgable staff. A friendly staff even after the holidays is the sign of a good shop, I think. Anyway, If you are looking for hiking, camping, or kayaking gear- start here.

Our family likes to check out Ollie's. It's fun to hunt for great finds…read more Another reviewer mentioned the exterior looking like a daycare and it made me laugh because we thought the outside looked... colorful... as well upon pulling up. The value at Ollie's is great. We didn't have a ton of time to shop but we nabbed an A&M garden flag for $6.99 and a big bag of Brownie Brittle for $5.99. (Now I will note that we have been "burned" by food at Ollie's in the past -not this particular location- when we bought some mint patties which were infested with bugs. So yes we are "nervous" buying food here but I think that if they are well packaged, that shouldn't normally be a problem.) Now for the service. Wow. Aimee was our cashier and was FABULOUS. She was so friendly and helpful. She got us signed up for Ollie's rewards and explained everything so thoroughly. I honestly don't know why we didn't sign up before. It's not like we shop here much but the points don't expire so we should have done it sooner. Thankfully this wonderful employee was able to get us signed up. Wasn't expecting such great service here. Outstanding.
