    The facility is tired looking but acceptable. The employees are not the friendliest, they will walk by you or try to avoid you if you have e a question. Wait to get help is long, register is slow. Good selection of products, expensive compared to online retailers but I guess that's the price for immediate availability. Lacking in customer service, facility in need of updating.

    Renas and Bear were very helpful in helping me find an iPad last weekend, Renas also helped me out with a Dyson and knew all about it! Very kind young kids working at this location. They also told me about the Best Buy card which they applied me for in like 2 minutes, the 10% back was really nice.

    Deadass there workers help one person and I showed up looking to spend money on a tv and they took 45 minutes to get someone to help me. I saw 4 workers doing nothing just standing around that could’ve been helpful and the front desk told me “we’re getting someone on it” and that didn’t seem completely true

    My experience to Best Buy recently was a disaster from the time I stepped in. There were two people right there, laughing and socializing. I asked for help. I waited over in the area I had to re-ask for help three times before somebody finally came. I am legally blind, and had my son there who drives and we were there to buy the metal glasses generation two We were very specific in what we wanted in the type of lens, etc. she reassured us Time and again throughout the process, she had the right problem. Rest assured she would put it up at the front. However, upon checking out and taking it home, it was totally the wrong product, the wrong lens and the wrong Frame it is very frustrating as we could’ve ordered it online however we believed in the confidence of doing our shopping experience in person We called the store for them to blame it on us it is very frustrating when the consultant let us That the lenses were transitional, and that indeed they do not even carry transitional lenses In the first place, so she obviously didn’t even know what she was selling. I highly recommend. The staff be more mindful of what they’re selling rather than just trying to hurry and make a Cell The store was not busy at all people standing around Doing their own thing, but definitely not helping the customers and we were there to make a large purchase Without the proper knowledge from the sales person without the confidence From the store as a whole and in general Will not go back and we’ll just order online Like I should’ve in the first place

    Disappointing Experience - Incorrect Product Information and Wasted Trip I’m extremely disappointed with the service we received at this Best Buy location. My mother, who is blind, specifically made the trip to the store because she wanted the confidence of selecting the right product in person rather than ordering online. We spent over 20 minutes with a sales associate asking detailed questions about the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses with transitional lenses. The associate assured us they had the product in stock and brought what we believed was the correct item to the register. When we arrived home, we discovered it was the wrong product entirely - different frame color and standard tinted lenses instead of transitional. When I called the store, I was told they don’t carry transitional lenses at all, directly contradicting what the sales associate had told us. This was more than just an inconvenience. My mother chose to visit the store specifically to avoid this exact situation. Instead, we wasted 45 minutes of drive time and left with the wrong product after being given false information. We’ll be returning the incorrect item and ordering the right product directly from Meta. Unfortunately, this experience has lost Best Buy our future business. For anyone looking for these glasses, I’d recommend ordering directly from Meta to ensure you get what you actually need
