Well, I had a problem with my 7 year old daughter squinting and blinking excessively, and even though her school had done vision checks last fall, it is now the middle of summer, so I took her to get an eye exam. I was going through the phone book on a Sunday and most of the businesses listed were not open. I came across about 5 that happened to be open, in Rockford, and of the 5, Eyeglass World had the most friendly receptionist and least expensive exam cost. Add to that, if you end up buying glasses there, they take the cost of the exam off of your total glasses price! AND they were running a special 2 for 1 deal, you can get a free pair of glasses and free eye exam when you buy a pair of glasses.
I'm not terribly familiar with Rockford, but the receptionist gave me excellent directions and we found it just fine. There was plenty of parking and the building was in good repair, looked quite new from the outside. When we went in, it was clean and bright. They offered cold filtered water and cups from a water cooler, which was nice. Everything was attractively organized. I spoke to the friendly receptionist who greeted us promptly and provided some forms to fill out. While I filled them out, she engaged my children in a friendly conversation about school, etc., that put my shy 7 year old at ease. As soon as I finished with the forms she led my daughter into a room for a preliminary test, and since she had been so friendly already, neither I nor my daughter had any qualms with that. After that the Optometrist saw her promptly and invited me to observe the exam. He was also very friendly and explained everything before he did it, putting my daughter and me at ease. After he was finished he spent a lot of time talking to me about eye care and signs to look for in children's eye health. My daughter passed the vision exam with flying colors, and they did not try to talk me into buying anything anyways. My husband and I both wear glasses and they did not push anything on us, which I really appreciated. We did look around a bit, and tried on some new frames, but left without purchasing anything except the eye exam. However, when my husband's or my own glasses need to be replaced, or if anyone else in our family needs an eye exam, I will definitely be going there again!

Great unknown resale shop. Not necessarily the easiest to get to, but worth the drive. This place is huge and packed with finds. They're also great to work with if you want to put anything on consignment. I've found all kinds of business clothing here for next to nothing!

We have been taking our difficult to handle Chow Chow to Cindy for her whole life, she's now 14! She always comes home smelling great, and feeling beautiful. They dont have a high rate of turnover, and our dog does enjoy going for her bath, and she is extrememly picky. Since she has become very arthritic, they take extra measures with her, such as they wont put her in a small cage, and they let her use the "doggy daycare". I would let them do my hair! They're great!

When searching for a florist for my sister's wedding, we came upon this unique little shop. After hiring the treasure shop to do her wedding, the florists worked diligently to satisfy my sister's needs. Her flowers came out absolutely stunning. We have recommended this shop to many friends and nobody has ever been disappointed. The arrangements are just what you order, and then some. Beautiful!

So, when my husband knows he's in trouble his first stop before coming home is King's Flowers. Good thing I haven't received too many arrangements, but the ones I have gotten have been absolutely beautiful. They always seem to be long lasting and smell great. They do the traditional roses, or you can get exotics too.

They are very nice and helpful at this Autozone and never make you feel like you're asking a stupid question like some autopart shops can. Their prices are very competetive and usually cheaper then other auto part stores and they go out of their way to help if you ask any questions, even with how to questions. And it's pretty clean in there, not what you'd expect.
