As a Local Guide, ALL of my reviews are based on My Honest Experiences, good or bad. That's what Google Local Guides do. So here it goes: This place has lots of vendors, with a lot of selection. Staff are friendly, but stay clear of the owner, Patty, she's pretty rude, short tempered, and doesn't handle customers complaints well at all, she doesn't try to even apologize. We've never had a pleasant encounter with her yet. Maybe all 7 times we've had encounters with her over the last 2 years, she was having another bad day. (People who worked for her have told me, "Thats just Patty"), so many others will tell you the same. There was a LARGE DOG in the building, it was the owners, he was allowed to roam OFF-LEASH, so if you're afraid of dogs, this isn't the place you would want to shop. I personally met him alone down an isle & could hear Patty yelling for him from the back of the store. I'm not afraid of dogs, but I know several folks who are, so they didn't shop there. The vendors told us that they aren't allowed to talk the customers, unless Patty has set up a night to, so know that if you see them, they're not trying to be rude. I see an effort of keeping the selection and cleanliness standards higher then places like Trader Bucks. The staff will even tighty up vendors booths if something gets missed placed. :) Again, the vendors I've met are all very nice people, and...
Read moreDespite the name Gizmos Galleria, "upscale resale", this is not a flea market where everything is used or old. Many booths do have really nice items for resale but many booths sell new items. Take the toy store, please, 😆😉😃🤣. Toys, Buzz, Fizz, as it's named, is mainly new toys. Legos, action figures (from DC to Marvel to Star Wars to Hollywood horror to GI Joe, you name it he's probably got it.) Hot Wheels, Funko Pops (common collectibles to rare exclusives and Funko Chase). Owner/operator Bob and his trusty sidekick Stan are there to answer questions, help find what you're looking for and maybe try on a super hero costume here and there. There's also a Lego room where you'll find new Legos, Legos sets from the 1980's, Lego characters, aircrafts, space sets and ships, The Simpsons and much more. There's also tubs full of sorted by color Legos pieces to complete a set you're trying to make or figures to live in your Lego Land. Build your own or but then premade, it's all here. HAPPY...
Read moreWent shopping here today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I have been by it lots of times but never stopped in. This is a very nice organized place of business. I would highly recommend stopping in for a look. Patty the owner checked us out when we were done, and it was a pleasure to meet her and speak to her. I took my granddaughter and grandson with me today and they really enjoyed it. They have a wide variety of items. Totally worth a stop in and look around, the prices are reasonable. Thank you Patty for an enjoyable few hours for me and my grand children. We will be...
