This place stay crowded. Need more assistance in the store.
Was able to get in and out.
I gave it two stars because they need more people in there because the people that work the casher was slow and I had to stand in line for over an hour then peopl had they kids running around in the store like its a zoo so they need to do at the store or get new employees
Clerks not cheerful not even a smile
Quite litterly no one around to work someone could easily steal because no one is at cash registers ridiculous

Thank you J. For always giving such AWESOME customer service. So professional and friendly
Jermane is the best salesman at Ez pawn he always makes me feel good and not make me feel bad about pawning my stuff
Jermaine was very patient and helpful he had a great attitude
She actually listen to what I had to so unlike the district manager who actions are very poor to deal with customers I will be call this store manager back to see what happen to the email or call from your regional manager because customer relations between the customer and the employee and the customer in the store manager shouldn’t be this strained very unprofessional will be writing your home office.
I loved this store until today when I bought my xbox elite series 2 controller back and pieces were missing. The more I tried to explain that I brought my controller in with those pieces the more they explained that they didn’t remove them. I brought my controller in with both the directional pads and all of the analog sticks but when I bought it back today I’m missing an analog plus two directional pads. Like I said I loved this store until this day when something so small was taken. It’s not the most expensive thing in the world but the fact of the matter is I brought something in that way, it should be given back to me in that way it was given.
Don’t come here prices are jacked up I called about a lawn mower a female associate answered and I asked the price of the cheapest lawn mower they said it would be $150 I drive out the way to come get this lawn mower and now the price is $190 and a male associate with fake golds in his mouth stated he told me over the phone it would be $150 and up. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!!
VERY POOR STAFF VERY BAD ATTITUDES AT THIS LOCATION… GO SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE THEY APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS
3. America’s Thrift Stores & Donation Center
Address: 528A West Town Plaza, Bessemer, AL 35020 , Bessemer , Alabama , United States
Found a whole outfit for work combined different pieces I found. The dress,the vest,the boots.
Great as always
Nice place to shop. Nice neat and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Great deals and awesome clothing selection
Friendly
I recently bought some jewelry there.Well pleased. A LOT OF NAME BRANDS TO CHOOSE FROM.ALL DIFFERENT SIZES.I FIND ALL THE DISHES I NEED. I LIKE THE MAGAZINES,I ALSO FOUND SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOKS.
Service was awful.
I was never here.
Americas thrift stores takes all the good stuff and sells it online for max profits, and throw the junk in its store. Stuff people drives up and gives to them thinking they are trying to help people. The owner of the thrift stores are a multimillionaire owning private jets and other luxuries from these items. I find this practice disgusting. These stores use to be where the less fortunate was able to buy second hand items cheaper than retail. That is no longer the case. I will never support these stores again.
4. Big Saver Thrift Stores
Address: 2331 19th St N, Bessemer, AL 35020 , Bessemer , Alabama , United States
Big Saver Thrift Store had great merchandise and great discounts. Blue ticket items were 30% off, white tickets were 50% off, and peach tickets were 70% off. All kinds of merchandise in good to excellent condition was available. Great place to shop!
Always find nice things.
It was ok there wasn’t prices on everything.i bought a pair of shoes $14 I thinking that was high but the guy at the registered went back and asked, the lady if she would come down on the price..he had to go to her 2 diffrent times ,bc know prices on everything..if He couldn’t find the price in a book that is..the lady then will look out to see who he’s asking for.what dose it matter who’s asking? what may u may would had if it been someone else. I bought the shoes bc there was a line behind me and I just wanted to go.but.i am very disappointed AT THE prices .that’s why most of us shop at a second handed store.bc we are on hard times.and I could had went to Walmart got a new pair of shoes for that price. The prices are getting to high
It takes time to get through It all but you can find nice things here.
Good deals the security lady was very nice to my daughter
The prices are to high. They got items price like it is new stuff. 12.00 for a used dress got to a store and get the same type of dress for $2.00 or $3.00 more. Charging new clothing amount for used clothes.
nothing caught my attention. the prices for purses are as the same as Walmart ‘s. I would not recommend this store sorry .
Unfriendly staff
5. Piamistry School of Music
Address: 4500 Katies Way #650, Bessemer, AL 35022 , Bessemer , Alabama , United States
My very first recording experience was with Bud Brow at Higher Ground Studios. His kind smile was paired with a willingness to answer all questions regarding equipment, technology and instrumentation; this really put me at ease and I felt like I was able to put the best of my creative self forth.
Great sound equipment stuff. There is no better studio in all of Alabama! There is a set of drums.
Higher Ground Studios is one of the Best Recording studios in Birmingham!!! If you want great professional quality, intimate details of your tracks, and best of all at a Very affordable price then this professional recording studio is the place!!! I’ve been recording with owner and sound engineer Bud Brown since at least 2008? It’s just very comfortable, and you’re going to get your money’s worth!! He has the expertise that’ll you need in today’s music industry!!!

(Bud, I came up with this, but when it came to me posting it, there was not highlight space for me to do so. How can we work this out?)
I participated in several recording sessions as a composer and musician at Higher Ground Studios, 1279 Glenridge Dr, Bessemer, AL, culminating in two quite quality recordings. With worthy instruments (well-set mikes on the drums, good piano keyboard; stellar fender Rhoads keyboard), quality engineering and ample enough editing by Bud Brown, making it a more successful musical project. Moreover, Bud has a mellow assuring way of making necessary suggestions towards achieving better musical ends by providing such a relaxed and personable environment. By taking the edge off, it was easier for us to work.
I say this for myself, David Higgins, and on behalf of fellow participating musicians/composers Leslie and Richard Shepard
11. DG Market
Address: 671 9th Ave SW, Bessemer, AL 35022 , Bessemer , Alabama , United States
Love this place excellent service everything u need
Always finding a sale
Very helpful.
Sometimes THE Service IS BETTER THAN OTHER TIME’S. 1 lady IS VERY KIND AND VERY friendly.
Slow lines
I am through with Dollar General or DG Market. They changed their name and from what I saw doubled the prices. Not only that, but this store is poorly organized and just a mish mach of stuff. Never again. I will stick with Dollar Tree even Publix is cheaper than this place. Beware if you’re on a budget!
Only 1 register open. Store is in a bad location, real shady
Great experience. they know and follow coupon policy with a smile. Better store than 4th ave for sure
Loved it the besy
Friendly fast service!
Convenient to shop at close to home
Great Service
It says open at 8 it 9:05am still closed they say it closes at 10 but came last night it was closed at 9p
They are always closed when they should be open can’t wait till they go out of business so they can stop wasting everyone’s time
They suck. So rude. I would rate 0 stars. This Store is crappy. Employees r rude. They nasty. And like to run their mouth at the customers when they should not. I hate that family dollar is represented so badly. it’s a shame that employee do not know how to act. Even some of the MANAGERS. r rude. J. S.

16. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 750 Academy Dr, Bessemer, AL 35022 , Bessemer , Alabama , United States
Today’s visit was pleasant. Employee’s were helpful and the store was clean and neat.
Open late and there’s always one close by.
Shelves stocked and store clean.
Need more casher lanes over self checkout. All self checkout is horrible.
Good food prices,and fishing products
I gave Walmart Super center 3 stars because I can never find a Walmart Associate when I need one. Also, they are not prompt in keeping the selves stocked.
Pick up service need to be stopped all together the wait a communication is horrible.
They are litterally always out of everything…only 1 maybe 2 lines open ever and after you spend 45 minutes in line you have to get rescanned on the way out? Like you need to find a better way to establish I bought 12 items that are too big to fit in bags… Don’t count on a quick run in ant out
Long lines and check cashing machines were all down!
17. Guitar Center
Address: 1694 Montgomery Hwy, Hoover, AL 35216 , Bessemer , Alabama , United States
Where I buy all my gear… always helpful and very knowledgeable staff.
I’m always met with friendly and knowledgeable techs and salesmen who take pride in their work. Get that commission, fellow face melters!!
Always very helpful.
They have everything that anyone wants to buy instrument wize.
Good phone conversation.
The sales staff meet you at the door and walk you through your purchase.. plenty of room to browse
Went in the other day, looking for a specific guitar their website said they had in stock. Guy at the desk in the electric guitar section told me that they didn’t have it. I told him what the website said, and he just told me they’d have to get it from the warehouse. No mention on where this was, how long it’d take, if he could order it for me, and he didn’t even leave his desk. So I purchased it from their website to be picked up in store. A bit of time went by that day and I decided to call customer service to see when I could pick it up if the site kept saying I could get it that day. Customer service called the store. The guy at store level finally said they had been shorted in the last shipment and that he hadn’t reported it. Basically, he didn’t do his job at any actual point regarding me nor this guitar. Customer service could only offer trying to ship it to me, for a fee, or waiting (he didn’t know how long) and see if he could get another store several states away to ship it to this store.
It was a cheap guitar, $70, and ultimately I wonder if that’s why he didn’t at least try to help me. Just skip this place and the headache. Not worth it.
The two stars are only because my visit before had been a pleasant one. And they have a nice selection, but you’re out of luck if you ever need any help here.
Purchased used gear and had trouble understanding it initially, I was treated as if I was lying. You got a couple of humble dudes. The rest are douchebags thinking they’ve made the next step in their music career just because they work at guitar center.
Guitar store that absolutely hates selling guitars. Or guitar services. This place ought to be replaced by something actually useful. Like a Staples!
Mr. Hill was fantastic! He was professional, timely, and so personable. He moved a piano into my house and I will DEFINITELY have him back to tune it soon! Very knowledable in the piano/music field.
Very nice. Timely.
Best place to buy a piano in the Southeast. Bill is the man.
