I go to this 7-11 everyday and refuse to go to another location. I know you probably think i'm nuts for reviewing one but this locations is awesome. The store was remodeled last year and everything looks brand new. The store is always very clean and well stocked. They always have their coffee area well stocked with many many different kinds of coffee and many different kind of condiments to go with it. I'm a decaf drinker and they always make sure the pot is fresh for me when I come in around my normal time. The employees are generally all pretty nice and know what they are doing. If you live in this area and haven't stopped in this 7-11, you should:) Sorry about not including the phone number. I cant find it on Dexonline.

I was drawn in by their window displays and then really glad that I was. There are lovely hand-made purses with silks and satins using really nice deep colors. There are some cute little children's clothing as well.
Be prepared to spend some cash, though. Nothing in here comes cheap but it is worth browsing even if you don't have the funds!
PROS: Beautiful clothing and accesories
CONS: Expensive and poor parking

If you live too far away from a Rich's cigar shop, this is a good alternative. They have fresh loose tobacco by weight that is tasty and comes in various styles and strengths. I have liked their Amsterdam blend. The staff know what they're doing and they have a large assortment of pipes, etc. This is a good one stop shop for all thing tobacco. I think you can get tie-dyes, too. Good place to go for gifts, also.

No comparison, Dixie has it all and delightfully helpful staff to boot. This is the place to be for serious beaders or beginners. Also, a nice line of unusual gifts available here. Don't forget to check out her glass shop next door while you're at it. Give yourself a lot of time as you'll be in there a while looking.

I recently got married and purchased my dress from them. It was a fantastic experience!
I lived nearby, but never went in because I figured it was too expensive. Then I saw a dress in the window I HAD to look at. That dress wasn't right, but I learned that their prices were great! I had been to several other local places, as well as David's Bridal - looking for a good deal. A Beautiful Bride blew them all out of the water for price. Their "sticker" price seemed a bit higher, but when I factored in all the "extra's" that the other stores charged you for that they didn't (like bustling, pressing, and cleaning after the ceremony, etc.), it wasn't even close.
Beyond price, the ladies there were fantastic to work with. They were more than willing to work with some indicisiveness and let me come back repeatedly. They were willing to give honest opinions - regardless of the pricetag on the dress - and wanted me to look my best on the day. I first went in alone. When friends and family came back with me, they all agreed with the opinions of the ladies at the store. I loved the dress at the store. Now having my pictures back, I love the dress even more (I think it photographed even better than it actually looked). They were happy to accommodate a "plus-sized" bride - and not relegate her to a limited section of the store.
I was so happy with them that we got the guys tuxes there as well. Again, the price was great. But so was the service and the appearance of the tuxes. They were also willing to work with the out-of-towners to make returning the tuxes super simple for them. They made sure everyone's fit wsa perfect (even doing on the spot alterations for someone whose pants and sleves came in too short). My husband, who is NEVER happy with the fit of clothing was absolutely THRILLED! Even the guys liked the place.
I would recommend this store to any bride. Because the place is smaller you might not be the "grand princess" but you will look fantastic at a fantastic price.
Pros: Focused on making you look your best
Cons: Small, crowded store

They did all the formal wear for my wedding. They made my groom-zilla husband thrilled with how he looked (that never happens - he's super picky about clothes). Somehow they made all the guys feel comfortable, from my redneck dad, to my slightly snobby father-in-law and everyone in between.
When my out of town attendant had been measured wrong, so his sleeves and pants were a bit too short (they would be passable, but not great). On the spot they altered both so that they would be perfect for the wedding. And, they didn't charge extra for it!
Their prices were the same as, or better than, any other place I looked, including places with "discounts" and "specials."
They were helpful, professional, efficient, and fantastic to work with.
Pros: Great Price and great service
Cons: Inside a bridal shop - can scare some guys

Me and my husband have gone here a few times to pick up some needed supplies for our pets. The place almost always has what we need and the prices are pretty good. The employees have always been helpful and knowledgeable when we've asked questions. I also love the location and the fact that there is a good amount of parking. I would definitely recommend this place.
