“First experience in a Cigar shop. The service was top notch and very enthusiastic. I will certainly be coming back. The store is also quite beautiful and well kept.”
“I went in looking for cds, while talking with the owner about music he handed me 2 cds from behind the counter that were right up my alley (death metal). AND GAVE THEM TO ME!!!! FREE.... Just so happened that it was Birthday (he didnt know that until after he gave me an awesome gift). Made my day. 10/10.”
“This spot was a staple over the years in the heart of DTK. Went to take a peek today, and surprisingly came across the signage taken down, and a 'The Market on King' sign in it's place. Unless it's being relocated, it seems as though another gem has closed its doors.”
“I would like to respond to a review that was left by Rachel Mamer probably a month ago, claiming this wonderful and Christian bookstore is against Israel and/or Jewish people. I am a Jewish descendent, and have dealt with this wonderful and Holy Spirit inspired Bookstore for probably over 10 years. Firstly, it wasn't the Christians whom 'forcibly' tried to convert the Jewish people. Obviously, you have not done your proper research. Secondly, they have never pushed an agenda or a conversion on myself. What I fear, as a young person, you have bought into the lies of secular society. This store has never been hateful, nor have I ever 'feared' my safety. I am not sure who or what you are angry at young lady, but it shouldn't be at this wonderful and Israel supporting store. It hurt my heart deeply to see a young person take such offense and then claim they fear this so called 'hateful' store. In the 10 years I have dealt with this store, they have been the opposite of hateful. Perhaps, young lady, it is you that have turned hateful, spreading propaganda and lies about a store that has done nothing but be kind and loving and helpful toward this Jewish woman. Young lady, it is my hope you do your research regarding 'forcible' conversions, hate, and fear, and that you find the truth and become a solver of these issues rather than a person that starts and supports these issues. I will pray for you. In conclusion, this store is one of the best Christian stores I have ever dealt with. As a Jewish woman, I have never felt hate, fear, or bought into the propaganda you have obviously surrounded yourself with; nor have I started a hate toward anyone. It is time you check your own heart and thoughts dear one. Perhaps it is you, that has become the hater.”
“Visited Indigo a couple weeks ago to look for a new jellycat I have been wanting. Unfortunately, I could not find it on the shelves; however, a worker named Lucy immediately came up to me to ask if she could help me find something. After explaining I could not find it, she checked the back to look for the jellycat I was wanting and other ones that were missing from the display. Eventually, we found the jellycat I came for and I wish I could thank her again. She was AMAZING and such a great help!”
Barnes & Noble is proving that physical bookstores aren't going anywhere. The retailer just opened three new locations across Texas and South Carolina, marking another step in its comeback story. Barnes & Noble opened 57 stores in 2024 alone - more than it had opened in the entire decade from 2009 to 2019. The company isn't slowing down either, with plans to open more than 60 new stores in 2025 and a goal of reaching over 1,000 stores nationwide in the coming years.
