“Super low key environment with super friendly guys running it. Great place to buy Magic the Gathering cards! But this is definitely an awesome spot for comic book afficionados. I've seen some amazing finds in there and I'm not even a collector.”
“Such a cool store. If you love cars and you have not been here than you don't love cars! Everything in models a Dad & Sons small business. Support them they have excellent customer service & lots of parking.”
“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!!”
“I've literally bee all over the PLANET hitting collectible toy shops, and this is one of the BEST~ MI has a few toy store gems, and this one shines the brightest... and the owner not only talks-the-talk, but he walks-the-walk! Obviously a lifelong fan turned guru - check it out!!”
“Any chance I can get to go to Books A Million? I will in a heartbeat over Barnes & Noble. The unfortunate thing about Books A Million is that they’re so spread apart.”
“GREAT magic shop! Very talented and knowledgeable magicians manning the shop and a super cool owner. All are very friendly and got out of their way to help in any way they can. Full range of magic items for every level from beginner to advanced Pros!”
“This store is worth driving out of the way for we came from Lansing and this is one of the best stores around. I highly recommend that you come out and take a look. You will not be disappointed!”
“AMAZING I am a huge fan of Lego and was shocked to see a Minifigs factory there also got my Lego passport stamped which the person their was really nice to me and in all it was a great experience”
“I'm extremely lucky to live near a legitimate world class hobby shop like this. No need to scour online for niche items, and if need a paint pot now instead of in a few days, their selection is better than Amazon. Prices are very competitive too, just a great little shop.”
“Charles was super helpful when I called looking for a Lego set and took time to help me think of alternatives when we discovered it was a retired set! He was so kind and patient with my mom brain!”

“I love this store and have consistently gone since they have opened in Ferndale. My kids also love it and have spent many birthday and Christmas bucks there. I have only had positive experiences, I really enjoy shopping around and always find something I end up buying.
A weird experience when we went yesterday for my sons birthday. I think it was weird. The large squishy toys they had were kept behind the register and my son asked for one to purchase. He picked out other items, bought them and the squishy. I went to purchase my stuff and he showed me the squishy, I saw it had white stuff on both ends and glitter on some parts. I asked the employee if he could pick out another one, the employee said they aren't allowed to (ie: allow the customer to choose which squishy. That they're paying for. At a physical retail store). He did attempt to scrape the white stuff off with his nails with no luck. I asked the employee if he could trade it out then for one that didn't look so used. He said he wasn't supposed to, seemed annoyed, but he did trade it out. That one was clean and felt better/not stretched out. So, yeah, not a huge deal but left me with an ick feeling. I'm not sure how strict the policy is for employees to not let customers pick out the behind the counter toys, but feels like it could be relaxed for paying customers.”

“Popped in here on my lunch break to find some Sonny Angels my daughter asked for for her birthday and found both sets! The store was clean and quiet, and the employee was very polite and helpful. Will definitely be returning with our kiddos in the near future!”

“I felt they do such a good job of packing in so many different kinds of toys into their space. I came in looking for something to get my five year old nephew and was not disappointed! They gift wrapped my selections and I walked out a happy customer.”
“Five Below is such a fun place to shop! Amazing items at unbeatable prices. From home decor and tech accessories to snacks and toys, there’s always something exciting to find.
The store is well-organized, and the variety is impressive for the price point. It’s the perfect spot for picking up gifts, essentials, or just treating yourself without spending too much. We picked up a beach umbrella, beach shoes, hair accessories, and some adorable toys for my nieces and nephew all in one stop and all at great prices.Definitely one of my favorite budget-friendly stores!”
“Love this store. Gifts you can't find anywhere else. The staff were all so knowledgeable and helpful. Specific shout out to Veruca, Christine, and Leslie. Christine did a great job wrapping our purchase. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.”
“Great store! Great selection! Would like to see some protection between the game labels and carts as a whole, because these are getting scratched up, just fyi! 👍👍”
“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.”

“I came in yesterday after dealing with an unfortunate situation which really had nothing to do with this particular store (so I won’t get into the details) and I just have to say the way the team handled everything completely turned my day around.
Store managers Zander and Ollie went above and beyond in every sense. They were incredibly kind patient and genuinely caring. My kids were starting to get a little antsy and Ollie stepped in without hesitation. She started playing hide and seek with them and even brought out little activities for them to color. She absolutely did not have to do any of that but it speaks volumes about her character. You can tell she truly loves what she does and really cares about making kids happy.
Zander was equally amazing. He was personable understanding and committed to making things right. He made sure we felt heard and taken care of and his positive attitude made a huge difference.
These two are absolute stars and they are a big reason why this location stands out. I am so grateful for the kindness they showed my family and we will definitely be back.”
“Review for Foreman Mills – Dearborn, Michigan (Visited October 6, 2025)
I’ve been shopping at Foreman Mills in Dearborn for years, and as always, they continue to offer great prices. Although I did notice prices have gone up a bit, their deals are still some of the best around.
This visit felt a little different than usual. The store seemed slightly disorganized — the sales racks weren’t as clearly marked as before, and the $5 items weren’t all on the $5 rack like they used to be. I also noticed they don’t have as many dresses as they once did. I went in hoping to find a few cute ones, but the selection was limited. It seems like they’ve shifted more toward trendier, casual items instead.
I also didn’t see as many baby clothes or shoes as before. Most of the shoes were smaller sizes, like 5s and 6s, and there weren’t many options for toddlers. I used to see more variety, including brands like Tommy Hilfiger for kids, but that selection seems to have disappeared.
On the bright side, they still carry great perfumes and have a solid men’s section. The store itself was clean, and parking was plentiful, even with Walmart and other nearby stores.
The staff was mostly friendly and helpful as usual. The cashiers were wonderful — we always end up chatting about what’s new, and they make the checkout experience enjoyable. There was one young lady stocking shelves who seemed a bit irritated, but maybe I was just in her way. The gentleman at the door is always polite and funny; I always joke with him about locking me in if I forget my receipt.
Overall, Foreman Mills in Dearborn is still a good place to shop for deals, even though the selection and organization have changed a bit. I’ll keep coming back — just hoping they bring back more dresses and children’s items in the future.”
“We are so lucky to have this resale shop in our area. They have such a huge variety of clothing at reasonable prices. Love their tote bag Tuesdays to save extra! Also give fair prices when buying clothes. Have been buying clothes for my kids here for 5 years and refuse to buy new now!”
“Very clean & organized, great selection when it came to all of their games! I brought my son here with a friend to check out their Pokemon products. Monty & Chris were so helpful when it came to answering all their questions & helping them get something they both really enjoyed. The rest of the staff was also very welcoming & hands on! Prices were quite fair, over MSRP but still reasonable. We will be back! 😁”
“This was my first time visiting the store and I am hooked! Josh was absolutely amazing, every question I had. He had well thought out in depth answers that helped me so much! I appreciate all the help josh!”
