On 4/1/2026 Kendra D had this to say:
It was our first time coming into a Busy Bee location in our life. We heard about this store on tick tock and my daughter and I wanted to check it out. As soon as we came in a nice lady with tattoos greeted us as well as an older gentleman I’m assuming was the owner. They have great deals but you have to have time and to dig into everything and see for yourself. Another older gentleman in the back atea also helped my daughter lift and move away items so my daughter can get to them to purchase. It’s definitely worth checking out and the customer service was great as well. Something for everybody the kids loved it. There’s Clothes kids toys misc items household you name it! We’ll definitely come back! Thank you!
