Google says this location is closed temporarily, I hope it's permanent. I visited one time only, and was so unimpressed I don't even want to shop with Tandy anymore. Another reviewed mentioned the staff seeming to hate their jobs, and it was spot on. The Staff here Do. Not. Care.

Please do not close this shop! There are many who are making a commitment to create handmade goods with high-quality materials. I actually booked a class online to gain knowledge and inspiration. The gentleman greeted us was very friendly and answered all the...
