Very nice organized store, book selections are on the small size and okay toys. Nerf price is very high. Helpful and kind staff.

I thought the prices were rather high for used stuff, especially when they get it for free.

I love going to KARM stores. There is such a great selection, amazing finds, and decent prices. It's a wonderful community based outreach and helps a lot of folks in need whether it be finding things that you need at a decent price or helping someone when they need it.
