“My wife really likes shopping at Hobby Lobby. Very nice, organized store. Staff was very helpful. The girl in the picture framing area was great in helping my wife get what she needed to do her own framing.”
“I told the person helping me I'm a returning magic player, He not only helped me pick out a structure deck but also helped me replace cards and spice it up to be a real powerhouse! Super knowledgeable, super friendly, definitely coming back for all my needs!”
“Absolutely LOVE shopping at this location! It is by far one of my favorites to shop at! It is always clean in the store the only downfall is the bathroom is really outdated and never clean. It always looks like it’s been ran through and no one upkeeps it which doesn’t represent the rest of the store when it is all in beautiful condition and super clean. This is a location that we will continue to come back to.”
“I live in NC but born & raised in Peoria & I visit at least twice a year. I found Greg’s shop the last time I visited in July & he was very personable and fair in cutting a deal. I plan to come visit more again when I come back next month”
“Plan on spending some time digging through the great treasures at this shop. Back issue prices are very reasonable, especially for bronze age Marvel and DC.The staff are ready to chat about comics and shows!Found a lot to purchase and I would have found more if I'd had time! Recommended!”
“Great staff who had as much fun helping us choose dice as we did choosing them. It is such a joy to go shopping with knowledgeable staff who are in love with their genre.”
“They have most of the stuff but dont have lorcana trading cards. Otherthan that the prices are good and the collection being from soft toys to display items, Trading cards to full size wall posters, costumes to headbands, keychains to action figures. They sell them all. One of the easiest spots for nerds to hangout in north peoria.”
“Some reviewers here claim the staff is rude. That was not my experience. I found them all very polite and helpful. I was also impressed that on a Saturday morning the place was filled with customers. This seems to be a gathering place for Peoria's small numismatic community.”

521 Court St, Pekin“For me having a comic book store in walking distance, next to my favorite bar is a match made in heaven. The Zone is an asset to the community. There are so many comic, gaming, and collectible enthusiast in our area that The Zone is an oasis.
Wildly friendly, well informed, clean, open, well stocked, ever rotating products (There are several Zone locations in the area) and fair prices. I’m not much of a gamer but there is an entire section of the store dedicated to gaming. D&D perhaps? I’m not sure but what I do know is when I want to pick up a couple of Jack Kirby comics or D&D books for my step son or unique gift for the Holidays, Scott at the Zone is always there.”

1901 S 2nd St, Pekin“Friendly and knowledgeable. Willing to answer questions and sell you something you want instead of up selling customers. Place might have a smell to it like people complain about, but I’d rather drive the 30 mins and do business with him than drive the 5 mins up the street in sunnyland to get he place that literally ignored me and my son 3 times we went there and when asked for help, they acted like they didn’t care. Definitely like precision rc.Bought our first 3 rc cars here in the same day and couldn’t be happier. Prices really are not any more expensive than other places. Maybe $15 of a $400 rc but who cares. It’s the time the owner takes to make sure you are happy.”
“These guys are awesome if I have any issue or anything they are always willing to help and if they are busy they will say hi and we will be with you as soon as possible”
