Never had an issue with the store. The staff are super friendly in the morning. If I haven't been able to find something for my kids I put it on the stores wish list and they call me back.

Located in mid town. Buy counter closes at varying times. Recommend you call first. Decent selection of stuff especially for babies and toddlers. Less as kids get older.
