“I am a disabled veteran for whom exercise is critical in order to remain mobile. Unfortunately, I must exercise in the early morning, when it is often dark. I discovered Panther Vision hats and mobile lights which allow me to walk and jog in the dark without fear of tripping or being hit by a car. I emailed comments to Panther Vision and was pleasantly surprised to receive a personal response from their VP of Operations. I was also asked to provide positive or negative feedback in order to improve their products, with which I am very pleased. The company offers a limited lifetime warranty which covers any defects in material or workmanship. Although the products are made in *****, they are designed in ****** (*********). ”
“Trading Post was great! We stopped in a week ago to sell some items and to look around for our first time.We have watched many of the YouTube videos and had an idea of what to expect. Peter accepted our offer for our items and meanwhile we found some items in the shop to purchase.Our finds included vintage dairy cans, John Deere sign, vintage PEZ, pokemon card, and an old railroad lantern!There is a variety of things to look at: tools, equipment, antiques, collectables, music /vinyl , sports and more. It was really neat learning about some pieces and see things we never have seen before.Will be back next time we have a chance to get back north.Thanks Peter, Ruby, Ms. Walters, and Honey!!!”
“Nick was very nice and friendly he was very helpful and provided great customer. The store closed at 7 and he stayed more than that just so we could be helped with.”
“We had a special need. My friend is in a wheelchair and I was in a boot after surgery. I couldn't push her wheelchair. The cart person was so kind and brought us the scooter. He followed us out afterward, loaded our purchases and took the scooter back without even asking. What a fine young man! I didn't catch his name but really wish I had.”
“I was up and running in no time. With a simple configuration in my Click PLC, I am now pushing event driven data through a Digi IX10 to a Mosquito broker running on a cloud server via MQTT. Everything was simple, seamless, and reliable!”
“Thank you to my customer service rep at the return desk who quickly helped me process my return. Very friendly and pleasant to talk to. Which is hard to find during the busy holiday season. Wish all stores and employees were like this.”

“I’m gonna try to sum up the value of this place. I’m an early 80s kid who spent my youth at Roxy wheels roller skating rink and the RC car hobby shop in the same plaza. Century Electronics was located in the same plaza. My friends and I would go in the store and look at all the hifi stereo equipment. This was probably nearing the end of the HIFI stereo era which produced the best iconic stereo equipment of all time. Needless to say we were tolerated even tho we couldn’t afford anything in the store.Fast forward 30 years. My collection of stereo equipment was all manufactured before I was born by a good decade. It’s the type of equipment that you get fixed and will never ever see the bottom up a dumpster. The number of individuals still alive with the skill to service these units and restore them to their glory is dwindling every year that goes by. Century Electronics has not 1, but 2 old school techs that can fix anything from Marantz receivers, McIntosh tube amplifiers to speakers all made before the Vietnam war. They take pride in their work and preserve quality by refusing to use cheap Chinese capacitors and other inferior parts. This is the only place I will take my equipment. Don’t expect to walk in for the ABT style showroom with 100k of product. The back room repair shop is where it’s at here.”
“Went in today to get a line output converter to wire in a subwoofer using my factory radio. I was directed to the install department in the back where I met John. He went up and beyond to print me out wiring diagrams and even show me a "military splice" to use on my wiring harness. I usually don't post reviews but this was service worth writing about. Thanks again John!”

“Store Manager was very friendly and hardworking. It is my hope that she is being recognized and compensated for her hard work as well as loyalty and efforts. Traded a game in today and Store Manager helped recommend the best options on what to preorder on upcoming games. Thanks again.”
“I came into the store sorely needing a new phone. I had some reservations about coming in store since every other phone store I’ve ever visited had crew members who didn’t really know what they were talking about and were obviously trying to up sell. This said, my experience tonight at this location was so good that I doubt I will ever try another location. Our representative, David, was very knowledgeable about every phone we looked at and his demeanor quickly eased my anxiety about this large purchase. David took my concerns seriously and gave me real answers that gave me tangible direction on what phone is best for me. I’m looking forward to using my new phone, thank you David!”

“Gloria in the Crystal lake store is the best tech person I have ever worked with at cricket. She was able to resolve my issues in a very short period of time. She is also very kind and patient because I am old and not Hi-Tech on my own. Thank you for having such a wonderful person in one of your stores!”
“Today I stopped in bc I was actually looking for the at and t store.. and let me tell you the guy was so incredibly sweet!!!!!’ He literally went above and beyond by even asking if I needed to use the phone.. and I told him about my horrible experience with at and t and he said I should come back! Lol I really should bc after going to the at and t store across the street it was a nightmare. Wish I still had T-Mobile. Always had such amazing service here. Thank you so much. And sorry I didn’t catch his name but great service :)”
“Stopped in today to have my SIM card replaced and was helped by an associate named Matt (I think). He was incredibly helpful and very friendly. By far, this was the most pleasant experience I have ever had at a Verizon store. He was able to resolve the issue with my SIM card promptly and also recommended adding on the 5G Home network to our plan due to our eligibility for a substantial discount, and I'm loving the performance of the service so far. Thanks, Matt!”
“I wish I asked his name but I came close to closing time and the man went out of his way to be kind. He looked something up online for me when I didn’t even ask him to, you can tell he genuinely wants to help. Give the tall man with long brown hair a raise!!”
“I was with my sister today getting a new phone plan and we upgraded our phones. The guy who was assisting us, Jon, was really helpful, patient and polite. He explained everything well and we left with smiles on our faces. Overall great customer service.”

“I visited Target because I had a gift card to use and I wanted to see if I could use it for Christmas shopping. I got there at 8:00 when the store opened. I was able to get what I wanted without having to deal with a lot of people. Everything was easy to find. The shopping area and bathrooms were neat and clean. I got some great bargains. This Target also features a Starbucks. I highly recommend this Target and will be back.”

“I bought a used car recently with an aftermarket stereo and I wanted to get the steering wheel controls working. Matt discovered it already had the module and just needed to have the software updated! He also discovered it didn’t have the correct installation kit(there wasn‘t one)! Matt also grounded the unit to reduce the background noise, along with fine tuning the system! Great service, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about car audio! I highly recommend Best Buy‘s Geek Squad for all your automotive stereo, remote starter needs!”

“The staff is kind and helpful. The only recommendation I have is that they should reduce the charges. Although they are in line with competitors, $18 for 2 passport pics is high.Recommended: Yes”

“We went to Grand Appliance for the first time to look at washer and dryers. We were met by salesman Don Von Ebers he was very helpful in showing us all the different brands. Very friendly and made it easy to choose new washer dryer and help with setting up delivery and install. Would recommend Grand and DON TO EVERYONE ! Tom and Cathy”
