“Original review: Good selection of newer comics. The guy working the counter was very friendly and informative. I was in the market for collected works, omnibus books, and graphic novels, which they do not have many of at all. Great if you're looking for newer individual issues though.
Addition: as I've gotten further into my comic book journey, this has become my go-to comic shop in the Knoxville area. The owner is really helpful, and they get a great selection of new books weekly across pretty much every genre. They still don't have much in the way of collected editions, but thats fine. I find those elsewhere.”
“I grew up going to stores like these for bargain hunting, but Ollie’s is next level! I even found my favorite shampoo and conditioner that was discontinued a year ago, and cleaned them out at about 1/5 the price it used to cost me at Target.”
“Love this store! It's family friendly, they have an indoor playground, they also have birthday parties on Saturdays. They have a wide selection of toys, games, and books. The employees are friendly. They have cool events. Free storytime every Thursday. If you're looking for a place to take your kids, this is it! We even got some Needohs there a few weeks ago.”
“I went to college in Knoxville, have since moved away, and was in this store during a visit back. It’s a really well done storefront - loved the candle selection and brought one home (as my only “souvenir” on my latest trip back). The prices seemed aligned with other nearby boutiques, but I could agree that some prices were high. It IS cramped and IMO, not wheelchair accessible. Highly recommend stopping by if you can.”
“My company has worked with Mike and the team at FunMakers for years. We install certified wood fiber mulch for cushioning and mud control. The sites are always ready and they have great communication. It's obvious that their first priority is serving the customers well and doing the right thing for them. Their team are craftsman and quality is always top notch.”
“I haven't been into a Barnes & Noble in years, but I received a gift card for Christmas, so I went to pick out a few books.
I was honestly shocked by the prices. Most books were around $20 (even short paperback books). I was really excited about seeing their Freida McFadden collection, but it wasn't even in the right section. When I did find them, they were on a random table with about 6 copies.
Additionally, I found sections that were dead ends rather than aisles that allow you to wander freely.
I found some cute vision boards in the area between the sets of doors, but the descriptions were very vague, so I didn't want to make the purchase.
Staff was pretty much nonexistent. We saw one employee at a desk in the middle of the store, and the rest were at the cash registers. That was disappointing, as I recently read an online review of the amazing customer service that B&N offers. I was hoping to have some employees to ask questions of.
I walked out empty-handed and will have to go back to spend the gift card since the website requires $50 spent to get free shipping. Freida McFadden has a new release in 2 days, so hopefully, they will have a large number of those in stock then, in paperback!”
“I do not think I've ever seen a Five Below as well stocked as this one. Whenever we walked in, it smelled so clean and I was floored at how well stocked + clean this store was. This place is NICE! We were even able to find things here we needed but didn't think they would have! Everyone who worked here the day we visited was nice and helpful. I love this Five Below and will be coming back again when we are back in Knoxville.”
“Kim and her team were awesome! We had some flooring to exchange, her team unloaded us and loaded us! That stuff is heavy! So thank you to you guys! Great staff, will help any way she can!”
“Interesting store. They have a big variety of things; toys, school supplies, health and beauty items, electronics and more. Most things are $5 although not everything. The items are of decent quality especially considering the low price point. It's kind of fun to take the grandkids in and hand them five bucks and see what they find.”

“Built a wonderful baby goat plushie here with the help of an incredible human being with a heart of gold named Ashley. The outstanding character she displayed as she walked us through the ceremony was beyond professional and touched my soul. I will be bringing my sister here for her birthday in December as I now feel obligated to come back for more. If you're reading this, Ashley, 10/10 stars for your show of heart. 💖”
“Trisha is a saint in our eyes. We have been on the hunt for a rhea rippley cardboard cutout for months and after all of our searching all it took was one call and the help of a very caring and kind employee named Trisha. By the time we called it was 15 minutes till closing but without hesitation she went above and beyond to store the item for us until the next day. To her it may have been a normal gesture that she probably provides to every customer with out any hesitation but to us it was like she moved mountains. Thanks Trisha my wife and I hope you get the recognition you deserve luckily based on the lore behind Tall Man Comics I imagine you'll get the spot light you deserve”
“Truly an amazing place. I do social media and review for specifically Gundam. This place has an insane stock and awesome staff. They also have a gigantic supply of Warhammer. And other hobbies as well.”
