They have a lot of baby items here, which was a bit surprising. They have other decorative tchotkies; when I was in it was late September, so there were Halloween themed goodies to be had, as well as some Thanksgiving decor. They had a Halloween tree... like a ceramic Christmas tree that you sometimes see with the little pieces that fit into the boughs of the ceramic tree but in orange and purple. When did we start having Halloween trees? I also saw some jewelry and other gifts. It's not the shop I would go to Crystal Lake for, but I have been curious about this shop the last couple times I have been in Crystal Lake so I'm glad I stopped in this time.

I say that because the customer service I have received has gone well beyond what I'd have expected at a Gamestop in this day and age. I used to be a Pro member, but I let my subscription lapse, just because I wasn't buying that many games. When I stopped in to buy a gift, I got the question we all dread at the register: Would you like to sign up for yada yada yada. Except on this occasion, those yadas held valuable information. It started out as the standard pitch, "It's $15 a year and you get a $5 coupon each month, which could be applied to this purchase." THEN, dear friends, it took a turn. See, I was buying a Switch game, and here's where the situation, my tastes and needs, were effectively analyzed by a human who understood me. "You come in store to use it, but if there's nothing you want, you can buy a $5 Nintendo card to use on their e-shop whenever you want." Mind. Blown. Suddenly paying $15 a year was the best decision I could make. Sure, I got sold, but by a person who understands me and what I want. Someone like me. It felt good, it deserves five stars.

Always get great service. Store is always clean and organized. Knowlegable staff. Highly recommendedread more

Absolutely obsessed. The Pieceful Project is pure magic. You walk in and immediately feel like…read moreyou've stepped into a space that gets it--the creativity, the comfort, the care. Jess Stetson didn't just open a store--she built a sanctuary for puzzle people, LEGO lovers, neurodivergent kids (and adults), families, gamers, and anyone who needs a moment of peace in a chaotic world. This place isn't trying to be cute or trendy--it's deeply intentional. It's certified sensory-inclusive for a reason. Jess--who is a mom, a builder, a visionary--made sure every single person who walks through the door feels seen and safe. We're talking fidget kits, quiet rooms, strobe-reducing glasses, and headphones on hand. Who does that? Someone who lives this and built something from her soul. The LEGO rentals? Unreal. You can build massive sets right there at the tables, surrounded by joy and community and color. They've got game nights, trading days, rare LEGO sets, vintage board games, puzzles, consignment treasures--you name it. But what they really have is heart. Jess took a 42-page business plan and turned it into something that changes lives. Not even being dramatic. If you've never been, go. If you've been, go again. Bring your friends, your family, your overstimulated brain, your inner child. The Pieceful Project is not a store. It's a movement. Five stars isn't enough.

This review is strictly based on the interaction I had with associate Mike in the produce dept…read moretoday 5/18/21. Most visits to Walmart are unremarkable. By that I mean that there is never anything impressive about the normal visit. You can normally see employees tasking their freight, or taking amongst each other, or sometimes helping customers. The one thing I'm about 99% sure of is that if they're busy helping a customer, it's because that customer approached them and not the other way around. Not for me today though, and not even because I had that lost look on my face. No. Today was different. Today, Mike, was working in the produce area. He was putting fruit out, ANNNND he was paying attention to his surroundings- the customers in his area. He was greeting all of us!! And though you couldn't see behind the mask upon his face, you just knew there was a huge smile on his face. It was such a refreshing change from the usual visits I experience. I think we can all attest that the "norm/average" Walmart worker- the ones who don't lift their head up to even look at you, much less say hello- they're a dime a dozen. Not just at Walmart, but in retail in general. Workers like Mike don't come along too often. Workers that exceed the expectations of customers are worth their weight in gold nowadays. Mike was going above and beyond what has sadly become the now accepted norm, non-interaction due to task or unfriendly/uncaring associates, just by interacting with the people around himself. By being considerate and asking if he could help anyone find anything. Did we need this, or that.... and in a charismatic jovial way. It was truly a delight!!!!! After my short interaction I started to walk away. I'm not sure what it was, but I felt compelled to go back and talk with this guy. I told him I thought he was great!! To never change the way he is with his customers. He's truly a rarity these days. I asked if I could take his picture and post it in a review, and he said I could. Walmart in Crystal Lake, Il.- you should be having this guy train all of your employees on customer service. He was the only employee out of the 7 I ran across during my visit that said hi, how are you today. Can I help you find anything? There was only one more out of the 7 that even spoke, and that was the gal saying "oh excuse me- I'm sorry" after she had crossed back and forth past me twice already. The other 5 were too busy in what they were doing to notice anyone around them, or they didn't care. Thank you, Mike, for the great customer service!! Keep up the great job that you're doing.
