I'm gonna go ahead and put a middle of the road rating in here. As I was walking up to the door, about 40 minutes before google's listed close time, I heard the door lock and the sign flip to closed. Sure it's possible that the person in the shop had something to go to, or google's time is wrong (though 4:50 is an oddly specific time to close). I didn't go further negative because I didn't actually get a chance to see the store before it was locked in front of me (I was less than 20 feet from the door), but I'm not gonna go positive specifically because it was locked in front of me. Guess if you want to go, you should go an hour before they are supposed to close otherwise it might be closed before...

The candy selection is extremely slim, and appears to just be bulk candy that is purchased from somewhere else. I gave it three stars since it is a local business that has potential, but they need to work some things out. I purchased some random things to at least give them...

I had a wonderful experience here in September 2024 so wanted to make another purchase here on my March 2025 visit. I walked in and was never greeted, found the items I wanted and then stood at the cash register at least 10 minutes (from when I timed it) and was still not acknowledged as she was too busy on her phone and chewing gum. When I walked out I was greeted and to let her know if I needed help. I left my $25 purchase at the register. I don't plan...
