    For the last 2 years I've taken my employees here for a Christmas shopping spree. I didn't catch the employees names today (1 was also working last year and remembered us) but they were all fantastic. Gave us a dedicated register to check out and got us thru quickly! Thanks!

    Felt like a kid in a candy store!! Could spend Hours shopping here! Staff super friendly & extremely knowledgeable. The selection was astounding & the process reasonable. Was tempted to get a pack fitting, but next time, as we were just passing through. Can't wait to visit again, wish there was one closer to Myrtle Beach! But worth the drive!
