Well; I was wrong. They all saw it and completely ghosted me. I definitely still got what I went there for but it is very clear their loyalty to Shannon is greater than customer service, $, or anything in life. I respect that. Treat people like crap knowing you are untouchable....im glad I know now. I leave 5 stars for loyalty. I'll never be back. I know they don't care, not like anything will happen. I wouldn't get too close to this place unless you are a passer by, the evil runs deep.

After driving 40 minutes to shop for squishes with my son, we arrived at Learning Express. The…read moreselection was solid, we had picked out a couple of their more expensive squishies ($20) and were still looking when we touched a squishy to see how it felt (it said "try me" on the box). Immediately I was approached by an employee and told I needed to purchase the item ($24.99 strawberry squishy) because I had touched it. We continued to shop and upon checkout was forced to purchase the strawberry even though I disagreed. The majority of their toys are being touched by customers but I was singled out and made to purchase the additional item because we had touched one as well? Because my son and I aren't white like the rest of the employees and customers that were in the store? Terrible customer service! To make things better, there is not such policy on their corporate site.

This is for the 4/4 debacle. I arrived and got in line around 5:55am. The line was disorganized,…read moreand bunched up all the way wrapped around the building. Up to 10 people were grouped up on the entire walkway while other civilized people lined up single or double file. At some point people started bum rushing their way to towards the store so a bunch of people cut and left lots of folding chairs behind. They allowed the people in front to buy 34 needohs each. For about an hour or more we saw big bags full after big bags full walking out and we knew they would run out. Not one time did we see any employee come out and walk the line to see how long it was. When one of the ladies near me went to ask the owner why they aren't limiting she was supposedly told that they tried but the people were saying why can't we buy 34 when the people in front did. When I went to cypress the IG post said 2 per style but the owner walked the line before the door store opened and let us know it was 2 total per person and everyone understood. It is your business you can change the policy at any time. Have a backbone. Instead of pleasing all of those scalpers you disappointed hundreds of people including kids who wokeup early on a Saturday. Eventually when the owner told everyone they were sold out she caught flack for it and cried and walked back into the store, locked the door and turned the lights off. Literally was crying. I've seen you respond to reviews saying this was your first shipment of needohs, we know that's BS just by looking at your IG posts. You also follow other learning express accounts on IG and can see the lines they had during drops. If you didn't then that's your failure as a business owner and just a lack of awareness on your part. Overall the Cypress location is the most organized out of the Houston area learning express stores. The town and country was pretty good too because they limited to 6 per person total. I hope you learn from this experience.

The store owner greeted me amidst the cheers of a successful die roll. He was friendly and welcoming, encouraging me to look around and let him know if there is anything he could help me with. Located East of Tomball, well before the railroad tracks that marked the unofficial entry into the town proper. The store has a large parking area with nearby food (Artega's Mexican Grill and a Subway) across the street from a local high school, (Concordia Lutheran). The store is small, but has several fold up tables for games. The selection comprises a large Warmachine and Hordes selection, Pathfinder RPG books, the latest Magic the Gathering booster packs, along with dice, and some dice bags. A selection of drinks and snacks are available for purchase. His inventory is small, but he informed me that he is going to expand it soon. I'm always happy to see a new game store open and the community enjoying it so quickly. I have hopes this new store will endure the difficulties that come and thrive and grow.
