I visited this store 2 days before phase 2, when it was not open to the public. But they were open and customers could shop from outside while this 2 very pleasant, super nice and helpful 5 below ladies attending to our needs. I came here to get headphones for my kids and literally they took out about 8-10 kinds to show it to me without hesitation and with SMILES (even it's under the masks). Thank you. And stay safe...
