The Scene
The latest Top 40 album is surprisingly audible over wily mallrats crowding the narrow aisles. Every inch of the store is packed with products, ranging from CDs and books to toys and novelty items. Beyond the bustle, the store is clean and locating products is intuitive.
The Goods
Chart-topping CDs and DVDs are in stock and highly visible. Cost is average for a retail mall music store, though the most popular items never seem to be marked down. Don't expect to find those rare titles you've been searching for--the selection here consists mainly of the Garth Brooks and P. Diddys of pop music. The DVD selection is dotted with hits from recent years and cult classics, but for serious movie collectors, Sam Goody is a Plan B type of store. Video game junkies will appreciate a few good deals here and there.
