Started my two girls on guitar lessons about 3 months ago. I asked on my neighborhood Facebook page…read moreand this was highly recommended by several neighbors. My girls (11 y.o. & 8 y.o.) have learned so much. Lance, the guitar instructor, has done an amazing job. He teaches them the basics and I am most impressed with my daughters' ability to read music. Not guitar tablature, but music notes. Lance takes time with each girl and helps them with there individual needs. He gives you an update on their progress with every lesson and what they should do to improve. Best of all, he makes it fun. My girls can not wait for guitar lessons every week. For them to stay focused on anything for this long is amazing. The instructors teach multiple instruments. They do their best to accommodate lessons to your schedule (same time each week). They don't have many slots for lessons. Thinking about getting ukulele lessons for myself. Highly recommend.

I brought my ES 335 and Strat for a basic tuneup and have been pleasantly overwhelmed by their attention to detail, knowledge of guitars and professional polite service. Honestly, my 335 plays better than ever! during their comprehensive diagnosis of my strat, several underlying issues were identified but I am 100% confident they will make all necessary adjustments. I highly recommend this group for any and all musical needs.

I left the store today embarrassed, upset, and absolutely appalled!!!!…read more I traveled to Stride Rite in Mt Pleasant with my daughter and her two toddlers to look for shoes, I had been a customer years ago when my children were young and highly recommended this store to my daughter when she needed to buy shoes for her children. She has been a customer for the past few years not only when buying shoes but clothing from the shops adjoining the shoe store. The sales lady measured my grandson and granddaughters feet, and then my daughter looked around, picked out several pairs of shoes. She had four pairs of shoes they were all different sizes (because some ran big and some brands ran small). Trying to figure out what she wanted to do she was writing down notes about the shoe, size, cost. She wasn't planning on buying all of the shoes at that moment but was planning purchasing at least one pair for each of her children, and then return later for the other pairs. We are almost done when without and reason the sales lady informed my daughter that they don't measure feet and retrieve stock and try on shoes without expecting you to buy shoes from there. I was taken back and bothered at first but my daughter was just confused and promptly asked what she meant, she clumsily tried to explain that they don't go through all that for you to go somewhere else to buy your shoes. This made no sense!! The more she talked the more insulting the whole thing became. I left the store because I could no longer keep my mouth shut, but when my daughter ended up in the car in tears I just couldn't take it anymore so I am writing this review. This is NOT the way to conduct business, to jump to conclusions and then act on them to the point that you not only lose today's business but any future business from this customer as well as whom else will be put off by the attitude at this store. I have worked in retail and many years in shoes, NEVER is the expectation that this customer is obligated to make a purchase because you actually do your job! You work in a shoe store people will come in and get their feet measured and even try on shoes, and yes often they will purchase said shoes, but sometimes they don't. That is retail!!! To have the audacity to confront a customer and say such ridiculous statements to the point of insulting and embarrassing a customer is absolutely appalling!!!!! If you want to be insulted by all means this is the store to go to, if not I recommend to shop where you will be appreciated as a customer. !!!!

Said there was a 24 hr "sanitation" period and that we could either reschedule (for the next day after we were already there) and wait the 24 hrs or buy new jewelry. She then said she'd "waive" a $25 processing fee that we were supposed to pay to reuse jewelry. Meanwhile, no one of this information is provided on their website as true. She was trying to scam us. We came back less than 24 hrs later after rescheduling, and they sanitized the jewelry then, even though she insisted they had to keep it to autoclave it for 24 hrs prior to piercing. It was a total scam. I will never return to MOLA again. She should be trained in how to treat customers. The girl that did the piercing was great and very sweet.
