'Expensive balloon', I thought at first walking out of the store mid April. Now, just into the…read moresecond week of May, said balloon that was so expensive is still flying high in our dining room, like it was just blown up a second ago. I believe the balloon brand is Orbz - HIGHLY recommend this brand if you're looking for something to last for a special occasion. Customer service was second to none, the owner was very nice and polite and ready to assist. The store is a little on the old side and could do with a make over inside - but there's still some great products on offer. It's not the cheapest, but as there isn't a Party City for miles, you're paying more for convenience than anything else. Costumes inside for rent, if that's your thing... definitely worth checking out if you're pressed for time and need some celebratory balloons ASAP.

As soon as I walked into the very clean and well lit store, I was greeted and offered assistance. I quickly picked out the balloons I wanted and placed an order to pick up the next day. Email communication was clear and I was notified when the order was ready. I walked in today, was greeted and even though they were very busy, they efficiently helped customers and gave me my order in a matter of minutes. Don't go to any other Party City store. This one is the best.

The store sells snacks, ice cream, home decor, wine, makeup, and much more. The store is clean and well organized. They also have public restrooms in the back that are large and private. It's self checkout in the front with cute paper bags. The chip section has fun unusual flavors, some are Japanese and Mexican flavors. They also have a good selection of seasonings. I enjoy just looking around to see what's new. They had some cute faux cast iron dishes. So if you're tempted to snag those cute cast iron dishes from the restaurant, just pay $5 to get your own!!! Lol. The prices are pretty reasonable on most things, some things are slightly pricier. They also have pretty candles and electronic and phone accessories. The store is pretty cool. Definitely check them out!!!

When I walked in I felt like it was a $5 Below but it had so much more. Need a kids toy? Decorative pillows? Make up? Phone Charger? Pens? Seasonal items? Birthday decorations? Candy? A new purse?

It is self check out but they do have friendly employees walking around. I was definitely addressed by a couple of them. I will definitely be back. Great place to get seasonal items for a reasonable price and better quality than the $1 store.

I came here with my sister and party planner to shop for my daughter's baby shower decor. They have everything here to decorate any place and to throw a party. I was super impressed at the fun snacks and drinks here. There were a lot of drinks you don't normally find in usual stores. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that we needed to check ourselves out. They don't even have a regular checkout with a person at this location. Other than that, it is a great place to shop for any occasion.

Perfect in every single way! Every single detail they touched turned out amazing - they really understood the vision and took it to a whole other level. Listen, if you want your event to have that extra special touch that makes everyone's jaws drop, you NEED Rachel & Marianne on your team! They didn't just meet our expectations for Imani's special day - they completely blew them away (pun intended! ). These ladies are the real deal when it comes to creating unforgettable balloon designs. I'm still getting messages from guests asking who did our balloons - that's how impressive their work was! There's a reason I keep coming back to them, and you better believe they're already on my speed dial for our next celebration! Rachel & Marianne, y'all are simply amazing!
