Free hugs yessss!!! Ok so they were from large, sharp toothed clowns, but I don't discriminate…read more (I've dated a few clowns in my day). I was greeted as soon as I walked in with big smiles from people who asked me if I needed help finding anything. I told them what I was looking for, and the lady found me several options and took the time to walk me over to the exact areas. I was in and out quickly and efficiently. I had an issue later with one of the accessories falling apart. But when I came back, a different lady apologized and explained they had been having issues with that particular item and offered to replace or refund with no hassle. Sometimes I worry about the quality of the items here. In the past I have bought items from Spirit that were pricey and didn't hold up. So I use this as a last resort. But the stellar customer service and the no hassle replacements may be factors that keep me returning, at least for accessories and free clown love.

This location is in the old Garden Ridge center off IH35 north. It's a fairly large shop so it's…read morerather clean and organized compared to other spirit stores I've been into. The costumes are split up into different groupings ranging from Disney, movies/TV shows, and then to your classic Halloween costumes including the traditional college girl short skirts and animal ears. Lol! There's a section devoted to odds and ends to make up the rest of your costume including wigs, face make-up, and accessories. Finally, the store carries Halloween decor for your home and a few fun odds and ends to decorate for your Halloween parties. The staff was friendly and helpful, but they opened pretty recently so they're still getting the lay of the land themselves. Overall, I found the wig I was looking for and I'm set for my Halloween party tomorrow!

Cherry's Costumes Galore has always been a well kept secret on the North side of SA... a little…read morebuilding on Blanco just north of 410... but ~now~ it's even more hidden in it's ~new~ spot! You can find Cherry's located on N. Broadway a mile or so north of 410 in a shopping center... north side of the center facing the street and up the stairs. They have way more room for all their costumes and accessories... it's all spread out! They are excited with the expansion and hope that you will come in to see them! I was introduced to Cherry at an event we were both at several years ago. We have common friends. Since then, I have stopped at her store every so often to see how she is doing. If anyone knew Cherry, they would understand that she is getting older with family and health issues... and she is/was not running a typical run of the mill business. If you were in a shop alone working and sewing inventory, you might understand her wanting appointments instead of walk-ins. Cherry now is enjoying her retirement while her son Christian is taking charge and holding up the reins to carry on! Cherry's Costumes Galore does have a lot of older vintage costumes they carefully restore. It's amazing to have someone who loves textiles so much to take on this challenge! I didn't get a chance to look at everything but having this huge building, it sure does help you get a chance to see more of what there is to choose from. Let Christian or Amanda help you out! You know, costumes aren't just for Halloween.. think about a themed party, First Friday Pub Run in downtown SA, or perhaps one of the many Renaissance Festivals that run through out the year around Texas... Costumes really are for year around fun!

This staff and the place is absolutely amazing! I came by looking for a Great Gatsby themed costume…read morefor a charity gala. This was last minute, two hours before the event. The staff took the time to allow me to try several dresses. To my surprise they also paired a feather boa, headdress, pearl necklace/bracelet, satin gloves, shoes, and even a purse. This was an unbelievable deal!!!! Also this saves time visiting several places for all the necessary items. The greatest part of all is that the costumes aren't cheesy like traditional party/costume stores. They have taken the time to curate an authentic selection of items. I will definitely return in the future.

Lots of fun outfits, accessories for adults, kids & even toddlers. I was laughing at times looking at the whimsical outfits, wigs & themes! Adult outfits can run up to about $50 but they'll have a 50% sale on Nov. 1!

I come here for glass jars and have yet to be dissapointed. Also, for .40 a lb... what a deal! Everything is very cheap and affordable. It's a small space that is expertly organized so it's very easy to find what you are looking for. They even have old calendars with the years they are relevant again, who even thinks about that? My only complaint is that this place is a bit under the radar, I knew it existed (I didn't know the name) and had looked for it but couldn't find it until it randomly showed up on my instagram feed. I will happily be back! Pro tip.... follow them on social media for sales and upcoming events!

This store is a Godsend!…read more My gaming store owner friend prodded me to proceed and attempt having the gaming card album I purchased from him at a laser engraving shop near his store The Arena Games in Universal City TX. This custom engraving store specializes in laser technology on almost any surface. After a short phone convo with Laura, she texted me to let me know that Luis might be able to do the engraving while I waited. The rest is amazing history. I have made this store my go-to for all my engraving needs and for some of my special gift shopping i.e. classic chessboards, custom-engraved samurai etc. Kudos to this family-owned business with Luis and Laura's son Zeke.

My mom was a vendor at BFI Treasures. She signed a three month contract beginning September 1st…read morewith Jennifer, the owner. My mom agreed to give her $250 plus 10% of her sales each month. Jennifer gave her a booth with electricity. They agreed she would sell pies and bakery items. My mom purchased a $2000 commercial refrigerator and put it in her store. The refrigerator takes 24 hours to get cool. My mom was waiting closer to October to start filling it with her pies. Two weeks after being a vendor there, Jennifer goes into my mom's booth and unplugs her refrigerator without asking or telling my mom. She was getting ready to spend a ton of money on pies. She had no other place to store her pies once they were purchased but in the commercial refrigerator at BFI Treasures. If she had shown up with her pies, they would have gone bad due to Jennifer unplugging her fridge. My mom had also put some gift items in her booth to sell as well. She did not have an empty booth. Yesterday, September 30th, my mom decided to go to her booth and get her gift items and refrigerator. My husband and I went with her along with the gentleman she purchased the refrigerator from. He showed up to help her get the fridge out of the store and back to our house. Jennifer was not at the store at the time, but her employee Vicki was. We walked in peacefully with our boxes to get our stuff. Vicki proceeded to get Jennifer on the phone to let her know we were taking our stuff. We got everything out but the fridge. My husband went back in, and Vicki stood in front of it, blocking my husband from getting out of the store. My mom was all paid up with her rent. Everything belonged to my mom. Jennifer showed up at the store screaming it was her birthday." She kicked us all out of the store and told us we were trespassing, then called the police on us. My mom had a right to be there. She had paid up on her booth fee. Jennifer broke the contract when she unplugged my mom's fridge. You dont go messing around on other peoples booths. She paid for the use of the electricity. My mom could not risk spending a ton of money for the holidays on pies and bakery items to come into the store with her fridge unplugged. Jennifer had the nerve to tell my mom she had a $500 electric bill, and she was wasting electricity. Her bills are not our problem. She was taking enough of my mom's money to cover the electricity. We waited two hours in the heat, waiting for the police to show up. One cop sided with Jennifer, and the other cop was siding more with my mom. In order for my mom to get her fridge out of the store, the cop made her pay the other two months of rent even though Jennifer is majorly in the wrong. When my mom and Jennifer decided my mom was going to sell bakery items, Jennifer tried to undercut her and started baking cookies. Jennifer is selling bakery goods in her store that have been prepared there, without a health department certified kitchen. She is claiming that she is selling them under the Cottage food law guidelines. However, those guidelines require each baked good to be individually wrapped and labeled. They are lined up in a case on the counter and not individually wrapped. The baked goods sometimes sit for days because there is no business in the store. She demanded my mom label everything she brought in. Jennifer doesn't abide by the law herself. Unfortunately, my mom also lives across the street from her. The whole month, my mom was in her booth she did not sell one thing. Every time we went up to BFI Treasures, there were never any customers. Jennifer will not advertise her business at all. She relies on the kids from her non-profit and vendors to do her advertising for her. She is too cheap to pay for an ad in the Windcrest newsletter. Nobody even knows she is there. We live in Windcrest and didn't even know she was there until she told us one day. She is ripping off her vendors. People are going to get sick of paying high booth fees and not selling anything. I suggest anyone trying to be a vendor there needs to investigate her. You will not sell your merchandise. You walk in, and the same stuff is sitting on the shelves. She is good with her words. Jennifer acts like she has an upstanding business, but in reality, she is taking advantage of people for her own gain. My dad, my mom's husband, passed away a few months ago. She lost his income. Jennifer knew this and still came after what little money she had left. She is ruthless!

I'm a crafter at this mall and it has many things to offer and expanding their selections weekly…read more Every week I go in to check my stock I see something new. They have metal work, plants , beading supplies, spoon crosses, jewelry, this week I saw that they now have evening gowns and scarves. I'll be honest I go in mostly to check my stock and try not to buy anything so I don't look much (I have a shopping problem) so I know that I'm missing some of the things they offer. The two ladies who run the mall are nice and very helpful. You have to go in and see for yourself. I'm sure you'll find something you can't live without. The only real issue is that it is set off from the street so it's easy to miss. If you're coming from Harry Wurzbach it's on the right between a dentist office and sonic.
