From Alexa welcoming us in at the door, to Arlo helping us with stuffing our new Capybara, the experience was amazing! They made a very comfortable, welcoming environment for us and their customer service was exceptional! Looking forward to going back there soon.

The store clerk had so much fun with my daughter and the heart ceremony was adorable. Really nice gift for a young child. Great job!

We went today for my daughter’s birthday bear and Gabby helped us. She was very sweet and patient with my little one. She made our day even more special. Thank you, Gabby!
