It’s been a few years admittedly, since I had visited this location. Understand I have been going to MRS hobbies when they were in Union Square in the first location and in the second location I spent hundreds of hours. So almost 30 years. The slot cars were a huge draw when I was younger. Though the coin and ball card shop next door robbed me. I can now genuinely say that I will not go into MRS hobbies again. Not because of who they are or what they offer or because of the staff or location. A++ service . How do I say this correctly. I was the only straight white male presenting person of twelve people in the building on a Monday morning. It’s not a safe place to take your kids to learn a hobby. I understand that they are chasing the dollar. And that they’re going to change what they offer for what they can stay in business with. But when I went to MRS hobbies originally as a child, it was all about home made balsa airplanes with monokote coverings, and some of the things I couldn’t afford. It was elite. Now they’re just pandering to the most mentally ill of us with disposable income.

EXCELLENT HOBBY SHOP! The employees are fun to talk to and very knowledgeable!! Plenty of stock of everything I needed and more. Definitely my new favorite hobby store
This is an amazing store- incredible range of products at really good prices. I visited on a trip to SLC and loved it. They are in the process of sorting out stock and organizing so it’s a bit tough to navigate the packed aisles and shelves … but that added to the fun and finds! Dave and the other staff were incredibly helpful - if they don’t have it they will try and find it ( and they probably have it!) Oh yeah - their loyalty program adds up and was a nice unexpected surprise GO visit I person - website does not do the huge selection justice and it harder to navigate than the packed aisles…. Shipping very reasonable - pretty much a flat rate for a shipping container ( almost….)
