“I will apologize to the staff. This is now Toys r Us. My 2 year old slept for 6 hours after our trip here. Got some gifts for the holidays and burned off a lot of pent up energy from the toddlerSorry again to the staff”
“Came for a bible. The Holy Bible King James Version to be specific. For those of you who don't know, this is God's second novel after the Old Testament. It's a marked improvement, in my opinion. He got rid of a lot of his previous angst and scorn, and has really begun to show some of the maturity present in his later works. He's become a much more loving and kind God, and, noticeably, he doesn't throw nearly as many tantrums as he did in the first book. That said, there is still vast room for improvement. Plot wise, there isn't really much suspense, and the story can be incredibly repetitive. In like four chapters, he just rewords the same basic story over and over again. To top that off, he puts those chapters one right after the other. Like we wouldn't notice! I like the whole Jesus character, but let's face it, the whole good guy martyr thing has been done before. There was no need to devote so much of the book to that guy. If you're really looking for a good God read, check out the Koran or the Book of Mormon. They're much more polished. Plus, the storytelling in the Book of Mormon is wild. Some people say it goes too far and point to it as evidence that God's over the hill, but I beg to differ. Just read it. God's like a genius or something. I mean, magic spectacles! Tell me that isn't awesome. I don't know how he dreams up some of this stuff.”
“Great place for any car enthusiast! Great selection of models, literature, and on Saturday AM's, they have a 'coffee-and-cars' event, where locals bring their cars and socialize with other owners and like-minded car fans. This is also a great spot to be, if you are in town for the Woodward Dream Cruise. Steve is also very kind and helpful - 10/10 would recommend!”
“This is a fun store. Truly one-of-a-kind store with tricks, gifts, and novelties for all ages. The staff is very skilled and patient in demonstrating their wares.”
“A miniature modeling, RC slot car, die cast, and electric train haven in Macomb County.Staff: very limited interactions with staff; I suspect this is a family business, with potentially a few outsiders. The staff is polite and courteous.Inventory: Huge selection of miniatures and modeling kits, supplies, accessories, and tools. Electric trains and Slot cars are the next heaviest inventory. They have a vast array of die cast, across multiple scale options (1:18, 1:64, and more). They also carry Games Workshop miniatures and Citadel paints at reasonable prices.Appearance: Outdated; the store looks to have been opened in the 90's and the only real changes that have been made since, have been the inventory. Recognizing the renovations are generally an extraneous cost, when your business is thriving, this may be a deterrent for new customers (but not me). Well organized, but tall aisles and limited visibility mean you will wander the store until you find what you're looking for (or ask for help).”
“Saw this place and finally walked in. Family owned, super cool people. If you like to save money, this place is not for you because whatever your holy grail toy is (Panthro) they have it. Bonus points for meeting super cool down to earth Ari Lehman or First Jason! I always say “sell an experience” they did just that.”
“The store is very unique! Huge variety of novelty items. Lots of old fashioned candy. When you go through make sure you take your time. The counter person was such a great help! Knew what they had and where to look for "themed" items.”

“Absolutely the best stocked, best staffed, and best location for hobbyists. If it is related to miniatures, they got it. I recommend pro acryl. Join the email list for hobby hints and discounts.”
“This store is the best place I’ve ever been toCame here for Wrestling figures came back with A Dean Ambrose and an Enzo AmoreFor only $37 and they also have a lot of other things like comics and really everything a collector needs and wants”
“The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful--even though I couldn't find what I was looking for at first, a staff member offered to order it from another location and then showed me some similar items, and I ended up finding something even better than what I'd been originally looking for!”
“I have to say the quality of the games is amazing and the customer care is just as good. The owner Matt knew I was so excited to look at the games and relive my youth he let me play everything as if it was my company. I ended up purchasing 3 machines. This is as good as it gets from selection to how they treat you like family with zero pressure to purchase. If you are looking to purchase a machine a neon sign or anything your heart desires I can’t recommend them enough. Top notch !!! I will be a customer for life and be purchasing more games very soon.Matt the owner also is a stand up guy, long story short my father wanted to surprise my handicapped kid brother with a game he purchased for Christmas I didn’t know he purchased one and I bought one else ware. The other store when I called to cancel told me to pound sand literally not more then 5 minutes after I purchased it from him and all sales were final. I called my father to let him know I can’t get the money back and Matt the owner treated my 73 year old marine veteran father with nothing but class he refunded his money no questions asked !!! even though he wrapped and staged the game for delivery and still thanked my father for coming in even though he ended up canceling the deal. You don’t meet to many good people like Matt and this is why I will be a customer for life.5 stars is not enough to give this company there incredible !!!!!”
“My nephews showed me this place and ask me to bring them here all the time now. They have new sets at current Lego prices and many older sets which are priced accordingly for the secondary market. They have a loyalty program and sell used/open Lego sets, figures and parts. They also offer to buy Legos as well. If you are a Lego fan this is a good place to come to.”
“I got lucky and they had all the back issues I had missed over the last few months! Cover price too, no up selling like a different local place I looked at. Good stuff!”
“Great programs available to help young people develop programming engineering and robotics skills. It is a little pricey but well worth it. My kid has gone to the video game design camp and the Minecraft programming summer camp and they had a blast. You do have to pay a little extra for before and after care though. Luckily the grandparents live close by and were able to pick them up but I know not everybody is as fortunate as we are.”
“Helpful staff. My son's LEGO set (given as a gift so unsure where it was from) was missing one LEGO piece. They did not have this current set and did not have the piece in the store. The man helping me was able to help me find the right number of the specific LEGO piece and get me in contact with LEGO corporate so I could have the piece ordered.This store also has the create your own LEGO experience. My kids really enjoyed designing their own LEGO and watching it get printed right there in the store!”
“Absolutely love this store! Such a great selection for babies and bigger kids. I have 4 nieces and 2 nephews and ALWAYS find something in here for one or more of them.During quarantine, the owner of the store went above and beyond and locally delivered baby gifts that I needed for remote showers. Customer service is above and beyond - pre and post 2020!!”
“A super charming toy store with things for all ages! If you're looking for a toy from your past they probably have it! The staff was amazing and it's a kid's (and parent's) heaven!”
“I love this store. Endless fun exploring the toys for both kids and nostalgic adults like me. You can spend as much or as little as you have and always get something fun and cool.”

“I love this cute place!! They have a selection that can't be beat! So much to look at and they are always getting new stock!! Great place for trendy kawaii items!”
“I love this store! It's reminiscent of the old 5 and Dime stores I grew up with. Excellent selections of household goods, bird and animal food and snacks, clothing and so much more all at last century prices. I shop here a few times a month for bird seed and dog food.”
“Went in with my special needs child this past week. Each employee engaged him directly, saying hello and were so friendly! This warmed my heart more then I can express. Thank you Lakeshore! Sincerely, a very grateful mama!”
“My son really likes the the wwe stuff there he loves how there is so many toys plus I don’t know if the guy I don’t know if he worked there or the owner but he helped my son find a action figure really nice my son always ask me to come when he can he loves this place.”
“If you're looking for any anime figures this is definitely the place. Figures here were easily 20% cheaper than other "entertainment" stores. Insane collection of snacks from Japan. Also great customer service. I was looking at snacks and got tons of recommendations on what to try from the staff. I will definitely be making the trip bsvk out.”
“It was my first time there and I was very impressed!! All the employees were super nice and professional, even helped me carry ALL stuff to my car. I bought a lot but spent very little. I highly recommend checking this place out.”

“This is a unique store here in downtown RO. It's off 4th street, west of Main Street, just a bit off the beaten path. There's such a hodge podge collection of items here. Some fun toys for kids, adults and the adult kids too. Stuffed toys, old school or retro toys. Some clothing items too. I do enjoy taking a gander here and there when we walk around downtown. If you are in town, do check it out, you might find a unique memorabilia item you just have to buy.”
“Love this place have been going here since middle school and now I'm a high school graduate. Mostly come here for the snacks and food but they have a wide selection of anime merch, knives, and more. A little pricey for the food but Its imported so I'm not suprised. Overall a great place to goto”
“I have attended this bingo for42 years. I think that says it all. Friendly workers and I enjoy the friendly customersas well. The one thing I hope they change is their chairs. They are all worn out. Very uncomfortable.That's my only complaint.”
“This Barnes & Noble is located on the Wayne state university campus. As expected in Midtown the parking is street parking. Upon entering the building there is a separate café that is different from the Starbucks café. There is a lot of Wayne State merch. Office supplies were largely marked up. I came mostly for the Barnes & Noble aspect, I was disappointed in the limited selection of books- only 5 to 6 rows of books that were mostly geared towards young adult and fiction. The Starbucks city area was quite large with many students studying it hanging out. I would consider this location if you're already in the area and need a place to get Coffee or do work, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to check this place out unless you really need to for the bookstore.”
“This was an awesome experience!!! Emily stepped in to help with adding sound to our bear, Louis made the stuffing experience fun and Lexi made sure we were getting the bestcustomer service.Thank you! Somerset Build a Bear.”

“Jasmin was extremely helpful when I was asking specific details about balloons, she never got frustrated with my questions and worked with me through the whole process. Shannon was extremely kind when I called a few minutes later to change a few details about my order. The store was out of helium and the workers were dealing with frustrated customers and they all maintained professionalism and never got flustered or frustrated with rude customers. I was extremely impressed with everyone in the store tonight. They are doing a great job.”
