There is a strange cult-like vibe to walking into a Franklin-Covey store no matter where it's located. Most of the workers there, and many of the customers, have all been to classes, read all of the books by Mr. Covey or whomever and they all believe that the Franklin Planners are like their own personal bibles. Personally, I just like having a nice book to write down ideas and keep track of dates. If it happens to look cool, which many Franklin planners do, all the better.
The store located near Woodfield is small but nice. The entire Streets of Woodfield is set up to look like a deliberately created downtown area. You really have to see it to understand. Set against a curving kind of back-street to the main thorougfare, this place can escape your notice if you aren't careful or looking for it.
The store, as I mentioned is small, having begun its life as part of the Woodfield indoor mall just across the street. The selection of planners and planner accessories is adequat and the staff will leave you alone to browse which is always a plus for me when shopping.
