“I literally just bought the same bras. They sell at Walmart in my size for cheaper than Walmart sells them. Also with their clearance and sell items, their clothes are actually comparable to Walmart with their ridiculous soaring prices. It's like the deep discount chain stores ran the big department stores out of business, and then the same discount stores like Walmart and target are starting to increase their prices to be about the same for items such as a $60 dress at a Walmart. But it's still using cheap Walmart, manufacturing and fabric. So I'm just glad that this store is still here because they are reasonable with their clothing and it is a bit better quality with Walmart. A lot of times even paying $30 for a decent dress. It will be in a landfill with holes and coming apart by about a year later. Just don't shut this one down.Whatever you do”
“The people who work here are so kind!! I have had the most rude people here come into my space as I’m shopping and when I have to ask them to give me space they’d get upset. I’ve been in town for less than a couple of months and stopped by here twice and each time I had a rude encounter with another shopper. So odd, but the workers handled the first situation beautifully and I simply told the other girl to move or I’d call security. Mind you, they were within inch or so from me in a big and rather empty store so I really don’t understand why that would be okay. Keep shopping here, keep taking up space and don’t let anyone get up in yours but if they do the people here will handle it ❤”
“Great experience overall Had a blast going through the outfits I found they had plenty of fitting rooms The employees were sweet and helpful so we're the other shoppers surprisingly (P.S. I'm a henna artist new to Athens so hmu post September 12th @prachihennaart)”
“In here, you can find anything you really need for you, Ross had great clothes, items and much more you need, I came here like for a long time, it’s the best store for people to buy.”
“Best experience here thus far, this morning!! Dennise was such a big help to us!! Couldn’t thank her enough for going the extra mile in helping us find what we needed!! She needs a raise, you don’t get this kind of help often! Thanks again! 💖”
“This kohls isn’t bad all things considered. The only con I found at my last visit was the clearance sections were a HOT mess. So were the shoes in general. But the staff is typically friendly and it’s really clean. They also remodeled recently and there’s a Sephora there now.”
“I’ve chose Walmart Marketplace for all my prescription needs because it’s the absolute best pharmacy I’ve come across in Athens. The personal assistance I get from this location is absolutely superb. I recently received a statin medicine from my doctor that had me very frightened out of my mind. The pharmacist, Laura, took a great deal of time to help me understand the drug and how it works in the body. I had many concerns about statins (as do others that I know). I learned, in great detail, how statins work in the body, and many things I thought in my uneducated mind were completely wrong. Laura cared enough to teach me on my level, and my fears were alleviated by her kind and informative approach. I can tell, Laura really cares about me. Time after time, I scare myself over different medications, snd shots or vaccinations I have to get, but Laura never fails to take the time to help me get over my fears. Anyone can see the love in her sweet eyes for her profession and the folks she serves, and I am blessed to be fortunate enough to have Laura’s unsurpassed council on the medications I don’t understand - explained on a level I can comprehend. Everyone on staff at Walmart Marketplace Pharmacy is just as kind and caring about me, Amy, Phil, Fredricka, and the sweet gal that always gives my doggie a treat at the pickup window! It’s the best pharmacy I’ve ever been too, and that’s a fact!”
“Price efficient without being cheap and shoddy. You have choices. Standard 4x6 photo printing still good and cheapest. Direct bus from Athens multimodal bus station makes it easy to access.”
“I walked in as soon as they opened to purchase something (something I usually try to avoid doing), as the website online said they only had one left in stock. Every employee there greeted me. They asked me if I needed help finding anything and looked in the back to find the item I had come in for. Everyone was helpful and kind, saying hello and telling me to have a good day when I left. They helped make the start of my Saturday great, and I appreciate how smooth and positive my experience was!”
“The pharmacy staff is always wonderful! The girl I had today on Register #15 and my checkout time was 12:47 pm was fantastc.! I have some serious health issues and she (at my request ) made my bags lighter thus enabling them to be easier for me to handle and she put all my bags in my cart as she was checking me out. So my experience at Wal-Mart today was a perfect experience!!!!!”
“I've been to this Burlington a few times & I've had a pleasant experience every time. The employees are friendly & helpful. The store is clean & well organized. The layout of the store makes it easy to find what you're looking for. The prices are very good with a great selection of name brand clothing, shoes, purses, make-up, hair care products, luggage, pet accessories, linens, household supplies & more! I think it's better than Marshalls, TJ Maxx, or Ross & I have shopped in many of those stores across Georgia & South Carolina. I noticed they're hiring, if anyone is looking for a retail job for the 2026 Fall season!”
“THIS PLACE IS REALLY GOOD OVERALL!!! I love the barbie dolls and stuff like that. They also have really good snacks and MAKEUP! I got a concealer at Walmart and it was pretty good, not a lot of scams, and it's pretty amazing.”
“This is a brand new Target located in downtown Athens! It is a smaller version but has the essentials you need! It is walking distance to UGA, has many self-checkout kiosks, and a great staff that greeted me throughout the store. Pro-tip: It had an item I needed that was sold out at the larger, full Target so it is a winner in my book!”
“I've bought groceries on line twice now, and have had a really good experience both times. Wonderful customer service and the way it's set up, shopping online with Wal Mart is very easy to navigate. I'll definitely be back!”
“This is the only place where I will stay whenever traveling between Georgia and Ohio or Pennsylvania. The hotel is Immaculate. The beds are comfortable , and the staff are the BEST. Prices are fair for the season. We have only stayed here over the past 12 years. Thank you Hillsville Comfort Inn.”
“There are times when a print did not go as planned but that time has been far few and between. I have been able to bring so much joy to the people I love with photo books calendars blankets mugs and even pillows. I am not good at picking out gifts so I learned that this was a sweet alternative and it comes from the heart. Most importantly these are gifts that will last a lifetime.”
