“A family member of mine wanted a specific figurine, and I was having a hard time finding where to even buy it. I called Animeggroll and while they didn’t have that specific item in stock, they gave me several recommendations as to where I might be able to find it. Overall super helpful and nice folks.”
“Definitely a family oriented store as well as ran by family. Whatever you're trying to do buy, sell, or trade they're going to give you the fairest transaction.”

“Classic hobby shop that focuses mostly on trains and train accessories as the name suggests. They have an incredible array of classic model trains that might be hard to find. Whether you’re just getting into the hobby, or you’re an old pro, this shop has what you need.”
“This store is absolutely amazing!! The guy that helped me, John, was about as incredible as it gets!!
I came into the store 15 minutes before they closed... I know.. I'm horrible.... I don't usually do that but there was a MTG set i just HAD to have and they are like the only ones to have it.. and for such a great price!!
I saw on their website that they had single cards that matched the theme of the set I specifically came to get... IN STORE!!!
He was amazing at helping me!! He pulled all the cards I wanted, was so very patient with me.... even though it took til after close to finish pulling the cards and to ring up my purchase... he was so kind!!!
I've worked many many years in retail and I know how easy it is to hate the public when you have to stay late because of last minute sales.... but he gave top notch customer service the whole way through!!
I have a bunch of friends that are always looking for new and awesome places to buy their nerd merch... I will make sure that they know... and everyone else... that THIS is the hidden gem store that is worth visiting!!
... I was also blown away by their massively diverse stock of decks and booster packs spanning many many generations of MTG!!! Some of these decks and booster packs haven't been seen in stores in ages... most places only have the newest sets.
Seriously, NewCastle, and John, thank you for being my heroes today!!”
“Loved this shop! Plenty of cool models to build,games, and hobby supplies. 💖 I especially love that this is a local business! Staff were very friendly and helpful.”
“Really nice shop. Good variety of items. Kelly, the owner was working the register. Nice lady found out that she has opened a second location, roughly a couple miles away. Can’t wait to check out her second location. If you enjoy thrift shopping, I definitely recommend.”
“The employees were amazing. The knowledge and insight that was given perpetrated my desire and drive to pursue this hobby.
They also had very nice hives out back which I enjoyed greatly. 😉
I will be taking some classes at a later date and purchased some reading material and 30 frames for my work in process hive. Side note…. They had some cool artwork as well.”

“Late review but I just had to mention the wonderful experience I had in the store.
In May, I visited the Circle the Knowledge and had the best time. I had been there before however I never accepted the assistance when offered. This time, I accepted Ann Marie's offer to help, and she made the experience so much more fun for me rather than a tedious task. I was shopping for 3 different ages; each for a separate event. Ann Marie was excellent! She is so knowledgeable about all the products in the store. I felt very comfortable in the store, not harassed or rushed at all. We took one age at a time and once she showed me the different items that matched the child’s interests, she let me look around until I was ready to move to the next age. With her help, I was able to pick out several gifts and even gave her my name to call me when a future item arrived. Just a blessing to me. AND her and Julia, another wonderful sales associate, wrapped ALL the gifts! It was amazing.
I was there for quite a while and able to observe several other interactions these two ladies had with other customers. They really do make all the people feel as though they are part of a family. One lady in particular, Julia and Ann Marie were saying good-bye to a shy child. The mother called the store about 20 minutes later just to inform them when they got in the car, her child started happily saying good-bye over and over!
These two ladies are marvelous. The owners are very lucky to have found them. They are perfect for such a unique, kid-centered venue.”
“Found exactly what I was looking for for my wedding. Brought 24 pampas grass to the register. The associate noticed that 1 prices was different. They ended up giving me all 24 for the lower price!”
“The manager (Rob I believe) let me in the back of the store to see new yarn they didn't have on the shelves yet. He went out of his way just so I could get the yarn I wanted and he was so nice! This is my favorite craft store!”
“I had a wonderful shopping experience today. I found a bookshelf I wanted to purchase, but unfortunately it didn’t have a price tag. I asked an employee named Jimmy for assistance, and he immediately stopped what he was doing to help.
Jimmy went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. He enlisted the help of another employee, Casey, and together they worked with the manager to determine a fair and reasonable price for the bookshelf. Thanks to their teamwork and willingness to help, I was able to purchase the item.
To top it off, Jimmy carried the bookshelf to my car and loaded it into my trunk, which I truly appreciated. The customer service I received was outstanding from start to finish.
I want to thank Jimmy and Casey for their professionalism, patience, and positive attitudes, as well as the manager for being flexible and fair with the pricing. They turned what could have been a frustrating situation into a genuinely pleasant shopping experience. I will definitely be returning for future purchases.”
“I love going to Micheals they always have what I need,and they never seem to disappoint me.

“Molly did an outstanding job with my son’s college graduation photo and diploma. The matting was beautiful and centered perfectly. She was professional and very helpful. 10 out of 10 !”
“I don't know if I was allowed to take photos because I would of easily taken hundreds of photos here. To me, this store was a paradise! I've never seen a store like this before. It's beautiful! It's got everything and more for what you want for your bar! Even if your starting your own in home bar! The highlight of this place are definitely the neon signs, they got old ones like the Red Dog one that I'm beyond thrilled to see because it's hard to find. I could of spent thousands of dollars at this store. It's got so much to offer at prices I can't complain about. One of the best stores at this mall period!”
“Great sales and products here for a swift and easy way to shop for art supplies. Appreciate the variety of products and such available here. Always know I can get items I need last minute from here even when location is busy. So many items are available.”
“loved the puzzle but your method of operation is the best. No delays, shipped the very next day and puzzle arrived the day you said it was. Will do more business with your company.”
“Just visited buying Journey Together! The dudes working were super chill and loved the atmosphere.
Appreciate you guys! We got our money back and I didn't know it! Wife said the cards paid for themselves with a wailord and n's zoroark!
We will be back ?”
“I got two great pieces from here around Christmas time and the owner couldn’t have been more helpful even though it was a day or two before Christmas he was very responsive and flexible for when I was able to pick up and even popped up to the store after it was closed to make sure I got my items! I would highly recommend coming here great selection of unique items as well!”
“Outstanding shop with a great selection of both vintage and modern, singles and unopened. The staff is wonderful - helpful, and welcoming; and the prices a great deal - I bought a few cards here in person for about 75% of what they would have cost online. Great assortment of Cardinals and Blues too if those are your teams - definitely a must stop if you’re in the area.”
