“Went for pillows. Although choices weren’t bountiful, we found exactly what we wanted. Clean. Welcoming. Vast variety of purses. Smiling at check out counters.”
“Its been much nicer to shop at Kohl's since they have plenty of shopping carts! The store is always well organized and the staff is friendly and helpful.”
“Target seems to be upgrading its store in (Medina, Oh) and the cleanliness and brightness offered a pleasant shopping experience. Hope they increase selections of kitchen towels and utensils.”
“This is strictly a rating for whoever is making the cakes in the bakery. This absolute masterpiece was just sitting there waiting to be purchased. Everyone got a good laugh. The detail is incredible. Whoever is doing this is an absolute artist.”
“We went to the Sephora at the Medina Kohl’s today. We got excellent service from Olivia. My mother in law described what type of perfume she wanted, but did not have a name in mind, simply that she wanted a baby powder scent. Olivia found the perfect perfume immediately. I then told Olivia the type of scent I was looking for and she again found the perfect scent on the first try. We did smell others, but it turned out that the very first one that Olivia chose was the perfect scent. She’s very talented and it was fun to chat with her today. My MIL bought hers and I will be back to purchase mine! Thank you, Olivia!”
“I get the cakes for my kids’ birthday parties from here every year. They’ve always been excellent but this year the cupcake cake for my twins bday party was above and beyond. Photo speaks for itself. The decor is always in point, the cake is always fresh and delicious, and their frosting is my favorite. You can’t beat the price either.”
“This Walmart is pretty good compared to some that I've been in. I typically use the self checkout, which saves me time. I don't usually grocery shop here, but I might start because it is only 12 minutes away from home. The concerns I have are that they don't carry Goya products, which we consume regularly. They also don't carry the low-sodium Great Value potato and tortilla chips. They have most of the other items that I've grown accustomed to at my previous Walmarts, however. The store is clean and I haven't noticed merchandise laying in the aisles, which is a plus, and probably a fire hazard. Interestingly, there are two electric car chargers in the parking lot. Granted, I haven't seen anyone using them, but it's a cool feature. I've tried to use the auto center, but that place is jam packed, even at 8 AM on Weekends. I'm trying to decide if this or the Wadsworth location will be my go-to Walmart. I've been grocery shopping at the Wadsworth location, which also doesn't carry Goya and low-sodium Great Value stuff. Because this location is slightly closer to home, I may go here for groceries. Decisions, decisions.”
