Department Stores in Bloomington, IL

“Alright, gearheads and yard warriors, listen up! Blain's Farm & Fleet is basically my personal hardware Disneyland. They've got every doodad you could ever imagine, from those teeny-tiny screws that make you question your eyesight to those fire-breathing generators that could probably power a small concert. Prices are decent, but the real gems are the employees. These folks aren't just walking around stocking shelves – they're like fix-it ninjas with a bottomless well of knowledge.The other day, my lawnmower decided to take a permanent siesta, leaving me with a yard that looked like it belonged in a horror movie for overgrown weeds. Knowing Blain's is my happy place, I hightailed it over there faster than a squirrel with a peanut allergy. Within what felt like two shakes of a lamb's tail, I found this awesome dude named Bob (seriously, this guy could fix anything with a roll of duct tape and a prayer). He listened to my panicked rambling about carburetors and spark plugs (which are basically the same thing, right Bob?) and then, like a miracle worker, pointed me to the exact parts I needed. Bam! New spark plug, new air filter, and my mower's back to purring like a kitten on catnip.Seriously can't recommend this place enough. It's your one-stop shop for anything that needs a good ol' fashioned DIY fix. Just a heads-up: wear comfy shoes because you'll be there for a while browsing all the cool gadgets and gizmos. This place is like a black hole for your wallet, but in the best way possible!”

“Normally pretty clean and organized. I can always find something to buy! Lots of fun home stuff. They had lots of little kids clothes sets, but I just needed pants so I had to get those elsewhere. You'll have to dig depending on what you're looking for but the prices are great!”

“I only started shopping here because a YouTube creator made videos about shopping at her local Home Goods. Now, anytime I want to buy some household essential, I shop at Home Goods first. The quality is excellent, the staff is friendly and one can always expect Home Goods to have seasonal merchandise. They also sell some pet supplies, so it's worth a look: pet blankets, chew toys, food bowls, leashes- mostly supplies for dogs and cats.”

“I shop this store often and was disappointed in the mess that I found in the women's undergarment department; I can't believe the management team finds this acceptable. However, best part of my shopping experience was at the checkout counter and dealing with Shirley, talk about someone who understands the importance of customer service. While she may be of a mature age, I would rather deal with someone like her than someone from the younger generation who can't look you in the eye or put down their cell phone long enough to be bothered. Kudos to you Shirley for putting the customer first!”

“Its Springtime (my excuse to purchase new rainboots) I found a lovely floral pair for myself, unicorns & rainbows for the girl and green dinos with black bottoms for the boy-all for under $55. The best part, we were greeted as soon as we walked in the store, everything was organized, and Rose was such a delight and sooo sweet. So happy, this store popped up during my google search for Rainboots.”

“Went looking for futon that the normal store, they said was out of stock at their place. Came here to look for the same one and it also seemed like it was out of stock. But Ethan from the lawn and garden center and Bryce from electronics were dope as hell!!! They were determined to help us find it, Ethan even helped us lug it to the car. We love them. We demand they get a raise. Please appreciate them bc the normal Walmart people weren't as nice smh”

“I worked at the store for about 4 months during the remodel all the ladies that work in the store are very friendly polite great to get along with they're no different than you or I and the prices are awesome there's so much you can get in this store for just a dollar I truly love the staff and I definitely love the new layout of the store good going family Dollar team ?”

“Of all the WalMarts I've been to this one is the best so far. Very clean, everyone is friendly and I always get through the line quickly. Only down side is they always have everyone stocking shelves and in the way. This is why this is usually done overnight at most places”
