This is a Hallmark Greeting Store in The Village Plaza on Shelbyville Rd in Middletown, KY. I hadn't been to a Hallmark Store in years but decided it was a good afternoon to browse for a variety of cards.
Upon entering I was greeted by two friendly employees that offered to help me. I indicated I was just browsing and they continued on with their work and left me to roam the store on my own. I glanced at the card displays that were closest to the front of the store and found they were all seasonal. There was a large selection of both Halloween and Thanksgiving cards. On a separate display there were current specific categories such as Bosses Day and a couple of occasions I wasn't familiar with.
There were many display tables throughout the store with a variety of themed merchandise such as Peanuts, and others. I wandered past all the merchandise displays to the back of the store where there were numerous racks of cards.
After choosing the greeting cards that I decided to purchase I went to the check out counter. On the spur of the moment when the gracious employee asked if I found everything I asked if they had postcards. She nicely instructed me to wait there and she would get them. She brought me a stack of assorted postcards. After asking the price I found they were half the price as I had just paid next door at Taste of Kentucky. I sorted through them and ended up buying eighteen cards. Then when ringing out my order the employee counted out ten stickers for the back of my greeting cards that I was purchasing.
You won't get this kind of service when buying cards at Walmart or the grocery store. My only drawback is this store is not very convenient for me to shop at. There is however a large parking lot with plenty of parking options. I will be back when in the Middletown area. read more
