CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TOP NOTCH! Tony the General Manager went above and beyond to resolve an issue…read morethat I had. I was there yesterday and a very helpful employee had made an honest mistake when trying to help me figure out a way to heat my greenhouse. The propane tank I ended up taking home did not fit the heater I had. Since I had the propane tank filled, it was Menards policy that they would not take the tank back. However, not only did Tony offer to take it back if there was no other solution, he did one better and actually came up with a solution! He walked through the store with me for over an hour, opening boxes, calling other employees and brainstorming until he came up with a solution to adapt the larger propane tank (100lbs) to the small heater I needed. He even exchanged the heater AND did a price adjustment for the inconvenience and my time to make it right. I was very impressed with his professionalism, problem solving skills and knowledge. I would highly recommend this store!

The concept here is that everything in the store is five bucks or less. Some of it much less, some…read more$5. Games, candy, makeup, toys, books, cables and doodads for cellphones and tablets, sports stuff. Tshirts, beach towels, tennis balls, pool floats, sunscreen, blank journals, markers and pens. I was looking through the iPhone accessories and they do have a bunch. It's time for a new popsocket and I found something acceptable and also picked up a small bit of jerky as a snack for tomorrow. The store is busy, loaded in stuff and while they have a core bunch of items always in stock, some things come and go. [Review 11241 overall, 1017 of 2019.]

Self-checkout is finally here! The store is newly renovated…read moreso things are still in the process of being squared away. They also have beauty counters for cosmetic lovers. We usually go to Five and Below to grab some portable chargers and Tshirts for my siblings. They also have items and accessories that are less than $5 from time to time. Their return policy is up to 2 weeks: Keep your receipts. I like to keep my receipts electronically since the paper could be lost some times. The service is usually great. We haven't had any bad service as of yet.

We came to Kalamazoo with three places to go, Farefare being one of the places. We hadn't realized…read morethey moved down the road a bit (guess it had been longer than we thought since we last came) so they now have their own private parking lot which is nice. Their selection of comics is colossal, the main reason we come back. Their game selection is also phenomenal and they even have a "game cage" for table top games to happen in store. Kids also have game and comic options as well as stuffed animals that are great for all ages. Staff is friendly, greeting us as we entered and various employees asking if we needed help with anything during our visit. We got what we wanted and continued our adventure. I'm glad we make FanFare a regular Kalamazoo stop and am already looking forward to coming back.

We were driving by and my son saw the giant action figures on the windows. I was forced to stop by…read more My sons both loved this place. There is so much so it can be a little overwhelming. We spend an hour in there. There was a section where kids could play games or trade cards. They had a lot of cute things for girls too. The selection was beyond great here.

The Americano was really good and the owner made us some of the best bubble tea I've ever had.

Stirling Books is a great place for great coffee shops drinks (coffee, teas including bubble teas,…read moresmoothies, etc) and bakery goods. They have a nice selection of new books as well as used books at incredible prices. They also have many events from story times to music to trivia. Friendly service too! Just a pretty wonderful place!

I like the Harding's market in both Richland and Galesburg. I have found that in Richland, I am…read moreoften over charged. I now pay close attention to the prices when they are scanned as well as the coupons as they are sometimes missed. The cashiers and all employees in the store are so pleasant, but it gets busy and the cashiers try to rush and then make mistakes. I prefer slow and accurate. Another oddity is that I used a calculator to add up the items on my grocery receipt and it shows I was somehow charged a $1 more than the items add up to. Do they charge for credit card use?

While the prices are more of a three than four, the location and convenience bumps the grade. This…read moreis a really nice small town store. Selection is limited, as one would expect from a smaller shop, but the store is clean, well-organized, and the staff are awesome. If only grabbing a few things, this is a great shopping option for those in the area.

Actually, I'm envious of Battle Creek. Their citizens have the Big Lots store that we wish…read moreKalamazoo had. Kalamazoo's is cluttered. Battle Creek's is not. Kalamazoo's may have a broken window out front that won't get repaired for days and days. Battle Creek repairs it. Kalamazoo's just feels dingy and dirty. Battle Creek's is brightly lit and clean. For example: We bought some Helados frozen fruit bars once in Kalamazoo. We got them home - and we travel with an insulated cooler in our cars to keep the cold things we buy cold - and when we opened the package up we discovered they were no longer in the traditional fruit bar shapes. We figured the packages had sat in the store's aisle awaiting to be shelved in the freezers, had started to melt, and then was shelved and the contents refroze. We took the bars back to the Kalamazoo store and the staff was cool about the return. And then two months later it happened AGAIN. So now we buy the Helados bars in Battle Creek and carry them home in our iced cooler.

Anytime I go to a mall with my husband and we see this store the following conversation ensues:…read morehusband 'FYE still exists?' Me: 'yes babe they still exist' husband: 'we gotta go' me: 'don't gotta ask me twice'. I am a huge fan of dvds even if they are kinda out of style. I also enjoy their odd items like all the movie/show inspired cereals. We already have some Booty O's at home but I think I'm going to have to pick up some more sooner than later. If you like anything in pop culture and are at the mall, take a peek because even if you dont buy anything it's a fun place to walk around in. I also loved their headphone section because they had some unicorn and cat ear headphones. The employees usually will greet you at the door but on my last visit they sadly didn't. They can get busy and preocupied with restocking so I didn't hold it against them as they greeted us a few minutes later.
