This is a place where you can buy beads, brightly colored plastic forks and knives and blow-up gorillas. This is a great store to buy things for specialized items for parties. They have a wide selection of themes and colors to choose from, too. They have almost everything you would need for a party. Recently I needed a few things for a quick throw-together party and they had everything I needed at a decent price. Parking is plentiful and you never have to circle the block to find a space. The sales associates always seem to be helpful and in a good mood. I have never had an issues with customer service at Party America. The store seems a little old but that does not seem to be a factor. I do think their prices are high on some things. Often it is difficult to judge because the bigger WhateverMart stores can do volume pricing. Perhaps just the products that I buy at Party America are more expensive. I have been able to get some great deals, though. There are no coupons of which I am aware but that would be a huge help. Good selection, friendly customer service, easy access. Yeah, not a bad store for niche needs.

Like many others, I did not have a good experience on a recent trip to this Party City location. I…read morewanted to go get a balloon for a birthday, and there were a couple of folks in front of me in line. There was one cashier, there was one person filling balloons, and a manager of some kind who didn't seem to be much help to either one of them. This person was clearly overwhelmed by the fact that several folks wanted balloons filled at 4p on a Friday night. The cashier was having some issue with the first person's transaction, but the manager was no help. I waited in line almost 20 minutes before someone behind me in line asked the manager "How long would it take to get my balloons filled once I pay?" The manager's reaction was super rude and she said to no one in particular "We aren't filling more balloons tonight." The person asked if they could buy them and pick them up in the morning and the manager just walked away. I was next in line by this point, so I waited. When it was my turn, I asked the cashier if I could pick up my balloons in the morning, and he said he didn't know. So I left my items with him, and left. I went just down the road to Hy-Vee where the selection wasn't as good, but the service was way better. I would recommend going elsewhere.

From what I hear, you feel it's ok to attempt to shame a paying customer based on their sexual orientation. While in Kansas it's perfectly legal, that does not make it morally right. Going forward I would hope your business appreciates people from all makes of life regardless of their race, religion, sex, nationality and yes, sexual orientation. read more

Their event coordinator was able to meet with me Monday (after I contacted them Friday afternoon) at the venue, offer multiple suggestions about the menu, we set a menu...and when I mentioned I was hosting ANOTHER event the following day (May 1st), informed me they would also be able to cater that event was well, if I was interested. Both events went off without a hitch and after receiving multiple compliments about the food (and Engroff's being extremely professional and understanding about how stressed I was due to the first caterer falling thru), are now my caterer of choice, bar none. I can not say enough about Engroff's and how easy they were to work with. If you are needing a caterer in the Topeka area, please contact Engroff's first; you won't be disappointed!

He has yet to apologize and refund us our deposit and he is aware we have had to book another DJ. Where your business depends on word of mouth from happy customers, it can also suffer from simple choices such as ignoring someone you have signed a contract with and refuse to refund them their money because of a choice you made. I would not recommend Dubl-D Entertainment.
