*sniff* This place has sadly changed to a Party City with less things. I came here looking for a pocket calendar(err…for a friend, because nobody uses a calendar anymore…), which Card Factory always had carried in the past. However, there were no calendars to be found in this«new» store. I was too sad to even buy the $ 0.50 xmas mug that was on clearance. Probably better off that way since I don’t need another mug.

I came here for balloons for my sister-in-laws 21st birthday the young girl who was filling them with helium was putting way to much in each balloon. when i left they looked beautiful. once i got in the car, and started driving a balloon popped. i was like WTF. oh well one popped it is what it is. but as i was driving home i here pop after pop after pop. i was pissed!!! i didnt even have the radio on. so i couldnt blame the loudness of a radio for them to pop. because i was in a hurry and running late i had no time to go back! it is what it is. out of all the balloons i got the only survivor was the jumbo helium balloon. terrible!!! not cool at all factory card outlet/party city! if you hire young ones fine, but make sure they know what their doing!

Just like any other Factory Card and party outlet. They have a great deal of party supplies if you were to throw a party other than a wedding. I would have to say that their wedding stuff is over priced and you would get more value going to Dollar Tree, Michaels, or JoAnn next door. They have a great selection of mylar balloons. I had tried to visit the store 2 different times and both times the store had closed 10 mins earlier than what was posted on the door. I’ve worked retail for MANY years and I don’t believe closing early is giving the best service possible.

I wouldn’t say their prices are that cheap — I was looking for items for a Hawaiian party and little bags of flowers and stuff were $ 5.99. But they have a great selection. They probably cover any party theme you can think of.

This is th ultimate party store. You can find EVERYTHING here for a very low price. Not only that, but they have amazing cards and they are a lot cheaper than Hallmark ones and just as nice.
