Great staff and very helpful.
4. CEI Bookstore
Address: 220 S Marion St, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
The sales girl was very helpful. She helped me locate the bible I wanted and when she discovered it was out of stock, she quickly ordered it for me to come in the next day. Great customer service!
Extremely nice, helpful staff. Great selection of religious materials.
Great selection of religious materials. Love the staff, who are always so friendly; Arden at the counter is so helpful! Love the small town feel and welcoming atmosphere. Also love the ABS card discount. OF COURSE we will be back!
Can you expand your variety of Bible covers for men? I hate to buy them elsewhere because of the limited selection. I want to buy from y’all! 🙂
Has about exactly what you looking for
Not much of a selection
The only place to find Day Spring Cards on sale
terrible service. Didn’t deliver a product I purchased and then didn’t respond to numerous inquiries. would never do business with them again.
Terrible customer service, does not respond to my emails.
I went to this shop to search and comb through records, and I found tons of great records. There was a big selection and a variety of genres to choose from. David is a very cool and determined man that loves buying and selling vinyls. He sells them for pretty cheap because he wants the customers to be able to get what they want and not overcharge them for something that they love. I was definitely impressed and pleased with the visit. 10/10!
6. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 1011 US Hwy 72 E, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
Kinda rude folks but as far as that just like any other walmart just depending on who’s working they could careless to answer an questions but u also do have the ones that WILL help you.
I love Walmart they very nice and have great prices
Was a flawless in and out visit.
Got everything you need in one store…from the groceries to the tools
Convenient location. Parking is good
Big place. Food on left, office supplies next, clothes, home etc. Clean, organization is great. Big garden center, huge auto area.
Very crowded hardly any of the shoppers were wearing any masks on their faces. Hate going into Walmart bc the shelves are completely empty
Rude employees.
Not easily accessible one way in and out.
7. Square Clock Coffee
Address: 100 S Jefferson St, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
Omg, I wish it was closer so I could go everyday. There triple grilled cheese was amazing and their coffees wow!
Love the coffee shop and the upstairs was perfect for our sons wedding rehearsal dinner! Super nice folks to deal with on top of great accommodations!
Love this coffee shop!!
The people was nice & helpful, but the price of their coffee was over priced. Would have been nice if they had 3 blends of coffee – light – medium – dark.
The coffee is great, the prices are fair, and the staff doesn’t talk much.
Your average coffee shop.
Orderd a smoothie for my daughter but they used almond milk without asking She’s highly allergic! You need to ASK especially for people with nut allergies.
Good food, horrible service. Took TWENTY minutes to make a coffee, and they kept serving other people before us, even though we got there long before them, and ordered. Didn’t even apologize for the wait. Waste of time.
I was very disappointed with the service I received. The young lady obviously did not want want to make our coffees. She never smiled. I asked a question about the drinks and she rudely pointed to the menus on the counter and said, “It’s right here.” ( we were looking at board overhead). Then I pointed to one and she said rudely, ” I can’t read it from here.” I will say that the Frappuccinoes we got were very good. The customer service was poor. I will not return. It’s going to send your customers to the new coffee shop.

The People are friendly, knowledgeable, and the they have the BEST vape selection in Athens Al.. What else do you need to know.. Oh and you can’t beat there prices except on line.. No Brainer!
I have visited this store on several occasions, and have always had outstanding customer service. 90% of issues with vapes/drips turn out to be operator issues. Any time I’ve had an issue they have stood by there products, and if the product was at fault they took care of the issue. The prices at this store are unmatched for our area. I have put together several vapes from this store and built many mods with parts from this store. Overall I have not found another shop in the huntsville/madison/Athens area that’s can compare.
Awsome man in his sister work there they are great and they help me around the store for what exactly I’m looking for
Great place for vape needs !!Quality glassware !! Not as big of a selection as some of the others in glass pieces but overall a good place to go for vale products and smoking accessories !!
Wide selection, helpful staff
Very satisfied with the service
I heard this was the place to go so I went spent 100$ on two “nice” mod vapes within 24 hours both stopped working
Left feeling ripped off. Took 2 pulls and knew something wasn’t right. You are going to get someone sick. What you sell is your responcibility.
-Not very pleased with their customer service.- I’ve had multiple batteries die almost immediately.
I don’t mind paying for good quality products. I feel the quality assurance there doesn’t exist. It’s as if they buy the cheapest possible stock regardless of quality, not to mention the mark up on substandard Chinese junk.
12. Dollar General
Address: 1210 N Jefferson St, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
Not one of my favorite places. They’re so slow and wont ever open up a second register even if the line is to the back of the store. And apart from the older gentleman and and younger latina lady, the rest of the crew here doesnt habe food people skills.
One time I went in and the only two people working in the store were camped out front smoking in front of the entrance. They saw me enter then saw me waiting at the register before they finally decided to come in and do their job.
Not the cleanest store in Athens. The store manager is nice but the employees really lack customer service skills. They are very slow and said, oh well they can go somewhere else sooooooo go somewhere else, trust me.
This store needs to be organized better and cleaner and things need to be in the right place so customers can find what they need easier, and clothes and shoes and toys and other items doesn’t need to be left in the floor for other people to Trip over. I had to go around a few items because I am blind in my right eye and I fell over a ball and a stuffed animal but I caught myself by holding onto my buggy. Food doesn’t need to be out of date. And all of the isle’s need to be clutter free nothing shouldn’t be left on the stock carts and the stock carts shouldn’t be blocking isle’s at all trash needs to be swept up and picked up and other customers shouldn’t open anything unless buying it. Not opening it up and putting it back on the shelf . Milk needs to be updated I got sick off of your milk it was expired back to March 27,2018 bologna stunk and some canned goods was 4 months out of date. Parking lot needs to be cleaned up. Please be considerate and take care of these problems. Thanks from Mary Lewis

Address: 909 Jefferson St SE, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
They’re really nice to you and help you look for what your looking for and cheap.
Helpful
Vaping is the best!
Resaonable prices
Eh, expensive. No deals. Glad we have it. But I’d rather buy the same Nepali glass pipe from the gas stations a mile a way for 10 bucks less.
Pretty good place to go. Fair prices and friendly staff.
tried to come in and ask for delta 9 only to be looked at like i was a circus animal and to be told that it’s illegal when literally one google search will tell you that <0.3% is within the law LMFAO goodbye
edit: yeah after reading the other reviews this dude sounds like an incel
I went and got some Keep it 100 blue slushee vape juice and it was fake. The box was wrong, the color of the juice was very dark (supposed to be clear) and the juice was very harsh on my throat. I went there because it was the only place open late on Sunday and I will not be returning. I am very dissatisfied with what I got whenever i have been using the same juice for months.
The website says they close at ten. They really close at 5:30!!!
14. McDonald’s
Address: 103 US-31, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
Waited in the drive thru for over 30+ minutes, and yes they were very busy… BUT, what I was upset about was
#1 by the time I got up to the window, my food was COLD from sitting on the counter along with several other orders behind me.
#2 customer service was not good, they were rude and gave dirty looks. But, I also Do understand that when you are short staffed it gets aggravating. And most customers don’t care about that. I Do, bcuz I have worked in customer service and been in their shoes.
The only reason I didn’t give less stars is because they DID remake my food and it was HOT !!
Don’t look just chew.
Fast, and usually accurate
Last two times they forgot something
Everything i wanted was out or broken. Smh
Food is bad and service is bad. When they mess simple orders up they are ignorant when you tell them they messed the order up.
15. Downtown Rescue Mission Thrift Store
Address: 705 US-31, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
I always enjoy shopping at the thrift store. I find lots of bargains.
We LOVE this store, and can’t believe we lived in Athens so long without knowing about it! They run some great deals, have a great selection of items that are always changing, and the people that work here are SO nice! We donate and shop here regularly now, and love that the money goes to such a great cause!
Very clean
Clean and good prices, my favorite thrift store.
I bought 2 dress shirts. My wife bought a pair of jeans.
Not much asid3s from what’s needed
I have been there a few Times And Each Time It’s Something The Dark Haired Manager Really Doesn’t like To Help People At All I Had Gotten A Voucher to Go to them To Help With Cloths Back At The Beginning Of Aug For Me And My 3 Children That I Raise Alone When I Got There I Could Barely Find Them Anything So Was Told I Was Able To Come Twice A Year so no worries I Could Come Back On A Later Date To Find What I Needed Here It Is Nov 17 And I returned today just to be told I wouldn’t be able to get anything until Feb 2023 I just felt like y’all get these things for free from people out the kindness of they hearts how dare u be so selfish….!!!!!?

This DG is not one I go to regularly but it still met my expectations beautifully.
Employees are friendly and helpful. Store was clean and well stocked. Thank God for Dollar General.
Really clean and neatly arranged in there…
pretty good for quick trips
Un poco desordenado, no había quien me ayudará a encontrar lo que buscaba, solo estaba la cajera y muy ocupada.
Lazy cashier’s
It suxs they should close
Clerk was not helpful nor was she friendly
My husband and I pulled up at the dollar store 5 min til close. The male employee was standing outside Smoking when we pulled up. He immediately ran inside the store and locked the doors. There was two customers inside the store who witnessed this entire event. He said his boss said he couldn’t open the door. The other customers couldn’t believe the employees attitude and rude behavior. They stood outside talking to my husband about this event. I will be calling corporate in the morning. Good thing I know all of the employees by name.
18. Family Dollar
Address: 515 S Jefferson St Suite B, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
Good spot for quick stops. A little bit of everything.Well organized store. Still the best organized dollar store in Athens.
It was ok
Good place
They got some clearance sales
Always disrespectful and always closed at random hours of operation. And always closes early. This place needs better employees period. I hope corporate will shut this place down or fix the issues!
Very nice store but, have poor choice of employees tall blonde lady with nose ring very rude and was taking pictures of a male for no reason.
Staff is very Rude!! Products are outdated!! Over-priced!! DO NOT SHOP HERE!!!!!!!!!!
19. Antiques on Jefferson
Address: 116 N Jefferson St, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
I love this shop! I’ve found some beautiful pieces for my home here, from large furniture and light fixtures to small decorations. In fact, of all the antique shops in the area, this is the one I’m most likely to strike gold in. Items in booths are displayed so nicely, prices are reasonable, and the staff and vendors are wonderful.
It is great being a vendor here but it’s an even better place to shop! Always new and unusual things to look at and purchase.
Love this store! The lady that was working there was so sweet and helpful! It is a beautifully maintained store and reasonably priced!I will be back soon!
New owners &
booth rental available. Lots of antiques and “look like” antiques.
20. Goodwill Store & Donation Center
Address: 613 US Hwy 72 W, Athens, AL 35611 , Athens , Alabama , United States
Since the Goody’s building has been vacant for awhile, Goodwill decided to move into a bigger place. It was definitely much needed and with a bigger location comes more staff and more floor space. I’m not sure when the new location was opened, but my experience was great. I was greeted right away, and even though I went just to browse around, I was amazed by all the donated items.
Nice assortment, organized and well spaced racks.
I brought a U-Haul with some kids toys and furniture. 5 associates came out to take everything inside. Less than 10 minutes. Excellent people!
Needed a backpack for work, picked up a nice one there for $1.49!
They also had a good selection of men’s clothes.
I will definitely be visiting there again!
Associates were courteous and helpful.
Variety
Pretty tired of being over charged here. Why do a half off tag if you won’t honor it at the checkout? Countless times I’ve checked my receipt when I get home and many half off items were not discounted and I was charged full price for them. Very disappointing and frustrating. Only didn’t give one star bc not every employee does it but some are bad about it.
Very bad social distancing. The cashier coughed on her glove then touched my item
Way to expensive fir the stuff to be given to them !
