“This is so much more than a bookstore! Prairie Path really is a readers dream small store. They have a great selection of books but also beautiful cards, gifts and bookplates. Candles and stickers and fancy candies also. The cookbook selection is great but i loved that they had so many classics mixed in with new books. It is a place you should check out. They also will gift wrap your book for free”

“Too few book stores of any kind in this area. So this unexpected and excellent book shop in downtown Bartlett is a real treat. Great selection and wonderful staff (just the one super helpful "booklady", I believe). Please support this gem!”

“Anderson's is a community treasure - a place where you can quietly peruse the ever evolving selection of books, talk to the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff, and pick up greeting cards and gifts along the way. There's nowhere I'd rather spend an hour, especially on a crisp, rainy day.”

“Scarce offers a variety of resources to help you teach and decorate your classes. My students benefit from art supplies, pencils pens, novel sets, etc. I find tons of resources to scaffold learning and enhance my lessons!I highly recommend Scarce to everyone!If you're not a teacher, but you enjoy a great deal, I'm sure you will find something interesting on the other side of the store. Books, art supplies, cds, movies, and more.”

“It's great to have a bookstore inside Woodfield Mall. I learned when shopping there that Barbara's Bookstore is actually a family owned business, not some major corporate conglomerate. It's quite a nice size for being in the mall. They have a good selection on all genres. You can find new releases here along with some old favorites. They also have a bargain book section in the back. They utilize their space quite nicely. Everywhere you turn, there are books! I love it! Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. You can also join their rewards program and get discounts for books you purchase, just by being in the program! For an independent store, you can find a lot of discounts/deals. It's nice to see because I would rather invest in a locally owned shop.”

“My favorite independent bookstore! Though it's a couple of hours from where I live, I find any excuse I can to make the drive to their store. The selection is amazing--they always have a wide variety of signed books as well--every employee is so kind and accommodating, and they host wonderful author events frequently! Highly recommend!”

“Most of the workers are absolutely lovely! A few are a bit rude and make you feel like you are a bother. Some customers are creepy but not much you can really do about that other than be careful when you have to give your number to the cashier. They have a solid selection and overall it's enjoyable to go.”

“Such a delightful little store. My son and I were out on a wander and decided to pop in, and I'm so glad we did! They have a fantastic selection of children's books from some of our favorite authors and illustrators. It was so refreshing to see such a well-curated collection. We especially appreciated the beautiful secular holiday and winter books during the visit!”

“It’s a bookstore, record store, movie store, used bookstore, used movie store, used record store, and so much more.I stopped by for one title, but could see myself spending hours in this location. The store is organized neat and clean. Many of the books are preowned, but have been well kept and gently used. The prices are very reasonable.I found the John Steinbeck title that I was looking for, East of Eden, but not in the edition I wanted. However, the price was exceptionally good and I could not pass it up.Recommended.”

“Had an amazing experience here at Go. This is the best toys and games store I have ever been. They have all the toys and games that we need for our kids at home and even for gifts at parties. Their staff are so knowledgeable with the items they are selling. If you have something to ask they can actually explain to you the purpose of each of every items they have. So that you can pick the best items you want. You can easily find all the things you need because their store is so organized, clean, bright, and well-sorted. Also you can checkout so quickly because their cashiers are working so fast. Their location is so easy to find and they are one of the most visited store in the Woodfield Mall. They are also near to other well-known stores there, so you can find their easily once you visit other stores around. Highly recommend this Go store to all of you, for you to also shop and visit their store. Also buy some of their amazing items. They also have calendars that perfect for our houses. So get some time and visit their store, I am sure that you will be satisfied and amazed too. I will go back there again when I am going to buy some toys and games again. Still amazed with their customer service and items. Thank you Go! Keep it up and good job! Thumbs up for you guys! Thank you.”

“The books are so cute! My niece loves Sesame Street and putting her name into the story and seeing her picture has gotten her so much more interested in reading and books. It is a little expensive for what it is but I think it's fine. I had a problem with shipping that was USPS's fault and they quickly resent the books. Would recommend for their customer service.”

“Great specialty toy store, great place to find alot of toys that Walmart and Target no longer carry. Dog friendly and service animal friendly place, fairly respectful and helpful staff. Great place to find funko pops and lol dolls, mostly aimed at kids but they do carry a good amount of collectors toys.”

“Went last Friday for the first time during the day and there was a good crowd. The man behind the counter was very nice and very helpful. A lot of DVDs of all types and I spent some time looking them over. The retail section is small but I was not there for that. A lot of videos in the arcade, although kind of annoying how long it takes to shuffle through them but a small problem, all things considered. Really liked to "buddy booths", as I really like it when people watch me or watch me with another guy or two. Smallest booths are roomy enough for two to be naked and comfortable. Some larger booths as well. Staff did not harass anyone while I was there; man cleaning opened the door to my booth, saw me naked, and just went back out, no problems. Will definitely go back. I wish I could walk around the arcade with my cock out or naked but I am guessing this is frowned upon. But, if they are cool with that, someone let me know (and I'll give it 5 stars!).”

“We have used this Party City for years, but had an especially good experience on Wednesday. I was picking up balloons for my son's birthday and one of the balloons was a little deflated. The 2 gentlemen working noticed the balloon (I had not) and immediately offered to refill it and also gave me a replacement balloon in case the one that I had purchased did not last. They were so kind and worked quickly to resolve a problem I had not noted myself. They were right though because the balloon did not last and the backup was perfect.”

“Convenient. Got books you need for class, stationary supplies, book bags, school swag, and candy. Everything slightly more expensive but when you need those gloves for lab it's worth it.Order ahead for stressless pickup.”
