“Love this GameStop! Employees are friendly and helpful, they usually make suggestions to help me out when I've got a controller issue or I'm buying cards.”
“I love this shop. The nostalgic smell of print hits you in the face as soon as you walk in the door…which is my favorite smell. It reminds me so much of the shop I went to as a kid.
There are so many back issues, and the prices are unbeatable. I spent an hour there looking though the books earlier this week and had a blast. Things are a bit out of order so be patient, but it adds to the hunt!”
“Hobby shops are the best and this one is no exception. Went in for rocketry items and left with exactly what we needed- a kit and some great advice. Can't wait to go back.”
“Great experince selling coin collection. Felt I got good advice and was not pressured into selling the few coins I decided to keep. Would highly recommend Mattox.”
“As mixed media artist based in North Carolina specializing in video game and anime-inspired creations, I’ve had the pleasure of vending at Anime Paradaisu’s events over the past few years. I must say, they played a huge part in my growth and presence as an artist/crafter. Being part of their markets has helped me connect with customers, other artists, and really find my footing locally. From my experience, it’s very clear that they care about their vendors and are passionate about creating a welcoming space for both anime lovers and creatives!
What stands out most is their commitment to vendor well-being. They are one of the few event organizers I’ve worked with who actively prioritize the health and comfort of their artists - such as providing water, adjusting booth placements for restroom accessibility, and even making difficult decisions (like rescheduling due to severe weather) to ensure everyone’s safety. That level of consideration speaks volumes about their integrity.
Communication leading up to events is always organized and timely, which makes preparation less stressful as a small business owner. When I encountered a scheduling conflict, Tabitha was incredibly prompt and accommodating.
More recently, they transitioned their market from outdoor tents to an indoor venue. Renting a large space and organizing an effective vendor layout is no small undertaking, but they rose to the challenge and created a setup that allowed customers to easily access and discover artists. For me, their willingness to adapt and evolve as community demonstrates incredible dedication.
As a vendor, I’ve consistently had positive interactions with customers at their events. I truly appreciate their continued growth and care for the artists they work with, and I look forward to vending with them again. I highly recommend Anime Paradaisu to both fellow artists and attendees.
Thank you AP for always welcoming me in the marketplace! :)

“Great experience with Kenneth! So very knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge. More than fair pricing on our transaction. Looking forward to the next time in stop in!!”
“Robert was so pleasant to work with and made me feel like a person and not just another question to answer. Staff is always friendly, helpful and genuinely kind.”
“I visited the Cary store for framing assistance. Dawn was absolutely the best! She had a great eye, shares her thoughts and suggestions, which is what we wanted. I will go back for her help again!”
“Michaels is a solid spot for craft supplies and creative finds. The store was clean, organized, and the employees were welcoming and helpful.
The only improvement would be ensuring T-shirts are stocked with more size options in the T-shirt section. Other than that, it was a pleasant shopping experience overall.”
