I hijacked a few coworkers en route to a work event while we were in town and dragged them here, promising a fun store with funny t-shirts. We walked in to a very upscale hipster-type store with a few 'unisex' (yeah, to me, that mean's men's) shirts and none of them were very funny. The store was really quiet and uncomfortable.

Why on earth did I just find out about this store? It's fantastic. What you'll find at Ampersand…read moreis an ecclectic mix of adorable kids items, movie/television paraphernalia, a wide variety of incense, kitchen accessories and many other unique and wonderful items. The prices are surprisingly low for a store of this type which is appreciated. Apparently they just finished a remodeling job on their business which included a lot of their new inventory. Not sure what it looked like before, but it's great. I love stores like this and I hope that it will continue to thrive here in Springfield.

I got the good stuff - shelves, a Dewalt chuck bit, rolling casters. On such a busy day where everyone wants a good deal, set aside your hopes for pleasantries with others as everyone is shuffling through the bins. Some may criticize the place for having some sort of disorder but that is only expected whenever people are looking through things a lot. Again, when we are looking for good buys then we will scour through everything. If you are impatient or don't have time to spare to look through a lot of stuff you do not want (such as mugs or phone cases) then maybe this place isn't for you. Head to a thrift store or flea market for that. But if you are willing to get some amazing finds for potentially a tenth of the price then this is the place. Resellers love this place. You cannot bring your own bags inside, but they supply you with big IKEA bags at the door. Get two bags and then fill them up with what you want and at checkout pay the two dollars for each of those bags ($4 for those two ikea bags). They stamp a label on the bag that it has been purchased and then next time you come bring those bags with you and you can fill stuff up and walk out the door with your items in them. If you do not buy those bags then you will be walking out the door with the items in your hands trying to juggle stuff.

It's a smaller shop but it's got a ton of good stuff packed in. We looked through the vinyls as we have a friend who has a record player and debated a couple of options, but didn't end up leaving with anything cause we just weren't sure what she already had. Overall: A+ Great vinyl shop with plenty to offer. Pop in and grab something new for your music collection!

The employees are friendly & almost always ask if I need any assistance finding something. They are certainly passionate about the merchandise they have to offer. Worth stopping in and looking around!

Service from the lady today....was beyond horrible. 5 of us ordering sandwiches and desert - hoe long were we here? 2 1/2 hrs. It was terrible and this lady was beyond terrible. B. The place costs enough for what you're getting. A Rueben for $17....and it isn't that big or that much meat. If I'm honest: If you want a tea room option, that gives you great food, tremendous deserts and at a real value: Spring Creek tea room in Ozark. A second option, that costs a little, but the food and deserts are awesome: Beth's Bake Shop in Spfd.
