It seems the normal store prices are elevated as well but everything is expensive these days. I genuinely hope they make a comeback.

The young associate manning the front desk today was on her phone and didn't acknowledge us until my husband walked right up to the desk to buy tickets. She said tour didn't start until til 3 (it was ten minutes til), so he assumed he had to wait to pay when she said nothing further. When it was three minutes past he decided to ask again and she exclaimed she was waiting on him (we had no idea what we were waiting for!). Anyway, the tour is great! It was very cool to see pieces from the tv show and Sadie's costumes from a few dances on DWTS. We laughed when we saw the carved wooden statue of Willie (remembering the episode and how it went down!). At the end of the tour it has a few plaques writing about the new movie "The Blind" that came out last month. We got a Duck Picker duck call (for mallard hens) with our paid tickets and it can be taken apart to clean after blowing on it time and time again. Super neat to actually hear it in person instead of just on tv :)

Maybe if the Lord directs y'all, you could add a playground or play space for visitors. I know y'all are adding a walking area-that's awesome! God bless you all and thank you for your example! We laughed hysterically at the cut out pictures y'all have of the Robertson's to stick your face in.

I was so glad to stop by here on my way out. Mr Malcolm was the person that check us out. He was so…read morefriendly and helpful to our visit to his shop. I was eyeing a pair of earrings at another store and the price was $20 that I didn't feel was worth it. Mr Malcolm's shop also had the same pair for only $8! Omg, I would have kicked myself if I had purchased it for $20. My co worker got an awesome deals with a bunch of jewelry that she end up paying under $50 from the clearance section and the regular sale section. Mr Malcolm's shops cares a lot of souvenirs such as ball caps, luggage, scarf, sunglasses, purses, woman's clothes and ect. Mr Malcolm's also has a small snack areas that he sells drinks and chips. His jewelries are really priced at a reasonable and cheaper price than most of the shops we were looking at today. Come by and visit Mr Malcolm's for some gear deals!

Extremely rude man behind the counter and cluttered, disorganized store. We accidentally walked…read morebehind the counter, thinking it was a small room of merchandise and the man behind the counter said, "Sir you are stepping behind the counter" to my husband. My husband and I had already been tripping over stuff in the store and stepping over things to get by. My husband suggested "Maybe you should have it blocked off so this doesn't happen again." The man behind the counter said "Sir why would I have customers stepping over things to get by?". My husband said "Well we are having to step over a lot of things in here." The man behind the counter raised his voice: "Are you serious?? You know what, why don't you just leave!". Me and my husband will not be going back. The store is horrendously disorganized and the man with the long white beard and glasses is a jerk. Go to literally any other store on the alley and avoid this one.
