There was surprisingly a ton of variety: MTG, Pokémon, Yugioh, One Piece, D&D, retro video games, collectibles, you name it. I feel like the prices are fair and the owners are very nice people. We'll be back!

If I could rate this shop below a 1 star, I would. I visited with a simple question and was…read morecompletely ignored by every staff member. Employees walked right past me without so much as a glance, and when an older staff member finished with a group of customers, I was clearly next in line yet he looked right past me and helped a customer who had just walked in. To make matters worse, he then spent his time chatting with his wife about a customer's account while I stood there waiting. The other employee who had already walked past me without acknowledgment? He went on to help yet another customer who arrived after I did. I have never felt so invisible in a retail setting. Not a single person asked if I needed help or even made eye contact. The level of indifference here was truly disappointing, and it's clear that customer service is simply not a priority for this business. If you're in Chico and need assistance, I'd strongly recommend Heroes Corner instead their staff is friendly, attentive, and actually willing to help.

Visited September 26th..see receipt…read more This place is off Broadway in Chico. After having amazing suishi at the Rawbar we walked over to this shop which is just a few steps away from the restaurant. They have so many toys! Stuffed animals! Puzzles! Jewelry! They have house decor items and some yummy smelling candles! This place is packed with so much stuff that the kiddos will have a blast looking at all the toys! You could spend hours in here! They also have nostalgic items which I love ( bought a mood ring and some funny gum). In the back of the shop is the Yo Yo Museum which houses the largest Yo Yo and Yo Yo memorabilia! Lovely shop with kind employees!

The product selection is very wide and variable. They were out of a few things but they had plenty of options and loads of popular brands. They had a lot of services that artists would find useful. They had things that you wouldn't even think they carried. Useful for field techs just as much as an artist. The prices were also very fair. Didn't need to blow out my budget for what I was looking for. I would recommend for anyone in Chico in need of art supplies.

UPDATE: Weeeell I see what everyone was talking about now with the employees and customer service…read moreas I was just in the store as an employee loudly proclaimed, "Dude, that's so r*****ed!" Yikes. At least another employee responded saying, "omg stop saying that at work!" (Which like, don't say that at all?? In the year 2026?? We know better, c'mon. I'm glad it didn't go completely unchallenged though.) They also were continuing loud conversations throughout my visit which doesn't bother me but also, seems they get a bit toooo comfortable sometimes. I implore the employees to please be mindful of time and place. ORIGINAL REVIEW (4 stars): I really really like this store and I frequently come just to browse. I think I can say I got the most value when my baby was a bit younger, like when I was pregnant and from newborn to, say, 6 months or so? Now that my baby is older, around 12 months, I don't find nearly as many things it seems. Or maybe I just don't need as much anymore. I find the service pretty friendly and responsive. They usually ask if I'm ready before I am (not in a bad way), and when I am ready, I never have to wait long for someone to check me out. I'm somewhat surprised that some say that employees are unfriendly. Idk if they're overtly "sunny" personalities, but they never give me problems or leave me in a bad mood either. But maybe that was a previous group of employees who have cycled through. I find their pricing hit or miss. You can't just trust it to be a good deal in my opinion. You *can* get a great deal, and they have special clearances that you can really get some good finds, but look it up. Don't just trust that it's a good deal automatically. For example, looking for pair of shoes for my baby, I was looking for some Stride Rites. On Amazon, they're like $40-60. I figured this was a great thing to look for at OUAC... I found a pair for $9. Well, upon closer examination, these were Munchkin by Stride Rite... Walmart. Looked it up, they were $12 brand new. I also am a bit disappointed in the condition/cleanliness of items like the strollers and high chairs. They just seem rooough to me for the prices they are charging. They also have to display the strollers outside which increases the dirtiness and they get pretty noticeably sun faded. This also is one of the stores where you can't *not* be in the way. I actually prefer the Redding store over the Chico one because of how much space there is and the layout. But they do use the space they have well; they just have much less of it (as I mentioned, they have to display the strollers outside because there is physically not enough room inside the store).

This store is ok. I've been to two other OUAC, one in Roseville (my favorite), and one in…read moreWashington. This store I feel like has changed their clothes so much. All they have is plain and ugly stuff. They don't buy anything cute. No clearance section. The shoes they have are always thrashed. I bought a pair of vans, my kid never wore them, I cleaned them and tried to sell back, and they didn't take them I should have just left them dirty, and maybe they would have taken them. The toy area is a mess, I don't even bother looking over there anymore. The best thing they have is baby clothes
