Dollar General in Manito is the hot spot in town. Everyone goes there because the costs are low, cashiers are great and they have what you need.
Very pleased with service and staff…welcome you as you walk in the door…keep it up!
Best Dollar General ever!!
They have a little of everything and living In A small town with no grocery store they are a life saver
Nice to have a store in town besides the gas station!!
Its dollar general
TERRIBLE, The checkout lanes were backed up as usual because they only had one register working. But when they are both working they only have one person at the register in 10 people in line and the other person is either taking a break or back somewhere in the store. And half of the price tabs in the store do not match what the item Rings up at they are less than what the item Rings up. I really don’t even want to rate any stars
Its ok
Never have much ice cream on hand

Bought a 2010 F150 here. We had Great customer service throughout the process. Friendly and cooperative without a salesman vibe. They let us know about an issue over the phone before we drove all the way there and made no effort to hide or downplay anything. This was refreshing after alot of auto malls and used car lots that don’t do service and just cover problems. The only credit financing service they had available offered me 15% interest when my bank gave me 4.7%. I would reccomend shopping here, just know your options if you were planning on financing. I got a great deal and would come back.
Brody is awesome to work with. Just got out 2nd car from him
Great people! Amazing prices!
I personally have not purchased a car from Manito Auto Sales, but I can testify to the honesty and integrity of the owner Brody Bernshausen. You will have to go far to find a Christian car salesman who is not afraid to admit to that trait. Brody is an outstanding young businessman who will treat all his customers fairly. If for some odd reason something isn’t right, he will fix it immediately no questions asked. You can be very comfortable in purchasing a vehicle from Manito Auto Sales.
Called about a vehicle. They never returned my call. Guess I won’t be buying it.
Haven’t had the best luck with the car we purchased. We have officially put more into it than we paid for it repairing things.

Address: 1540 E College Ave #4, Normal, IL 61761 , Manito , Illinois , United States
Appreciate a spur of the moment fix. What I expected to cost me $80 only cost me $5, simply because someone took genuine concern to hear the issue and problem solve. Great service!
Great place. Just bought our first alto saxophone for our daughter. Staff was very helpful and Russ walked us comfortably through the whole purchase process providing options between rental or all out buy. Thank you and we’ll be back.
Todd Campbell is THE BEST employee here. Todd made a huge impact on my son and his future. He helped us with every need. Todd is not only helpful but personable. Todd and I had fruitful conversations with still being very professional. I was nervous to come in and spend money. Todd made it very easy and also set a wonderful example for my son. Thank you for being you Todd!
Full line music store. I was looking at guitars and basses. Lots of accessories.
It’s a great store ,good selection of drums and cymbals unfortunately 2 people who work here believe that they are extremely talented musicians who are above you and speak down to you like you’re trash. I will say it’s only 2 of the employees but it seems like they’re here constantly . I came in wanting to spend $1500 on symbols but I Was helped by one of these individuals who basically pointed his finger at me and said do you need anything as he was walking by me, so I took my money somewhere else.
But the store is a good place and you should shop here.
Nice place to check out instruments. Staff was friendly.
They’re expensive, the cables and accessories they sell will usually cost nearly twice in price, just go on reverb or guitarcenter and order online instead. Saving customers money. The place is fairly quiet for a music shop and they have great service and employees though, I just wouldn’t suggest buying any accessories or equipment stuff like cables for electric instruments.
Us as parents made a mistake about payments on my son’s sax so they did what there Right was and got it back so we went in and bought one from them paid it full out that same day we bought it they informed the music teacher to take it they were picking it up the following Friday so my son had it removed from him in front of his classmates just before his Christmas concert he was crushed at something he was looking forward in doing
we had receipt for sax which we paid cash for so with them doing this my son no longer wants to do band or music just because the people at the music shop if I could give them negative 5 star I would who would tell a music teacher to take away a sax that was paid for from a child for no reason at all I hope u go out of business?

Don Middleton has been the go-to guy for musical equipment in Peoria for years. So much more than places like Guitar Center. Shop Local.
I spent more than I expected (my choice) but Don made so many points in customer service I felt more than compensated. Bought a Roland keyboard Bluetooth connectivity ☺️
Gd selection

Knowledgeable staff and great selection at competitive prices!
Friendly,has most anything
Nice store plenty of gear in stock , staff was pleasant , prices were reasonable and they even had some used instruments for cheapskate s like me hahaa I will go back and give them some business, even though online shopping may save you a few nickel s or couple bucks shopping local and having our local business s right down the street is well worth it to me .
Good store for all your music needs. Good selection and prices.
Took in a brand new bass to get a pickup replaced. Not a scratch on it, never played once. The supposedly simple pickup replacement took a week and a half only for them to give me back my new bass with the back of it covered in scratches and a huge glob of dried glue stuck to the fretboard that won’t come off. They absolutely wrecked my new bass before I even had a chance to play it. Worst possible experience. I am sick to my stomach about how poorly they treated my equipment and would recommend avoiding this place at all costs.
I hate doing this because I want to like music stores but if service is gonna be like this, everyone myswell DIY at home and heed this warning. I’ve had a few guitars setup there which is what I’m always needing done, new guitars etc, well I happen to be changing the strings on my Chapman that I had setup there and the low E saddle of the Floyd Rose came loose and the saddle screw fell out and that’s strange as you tighten them down. Well here’s what I discovered. Either dude lost the original saddle screw or he broke it somehow, but sitting in place of the original saddle screw is a too small saddle screw from a different bridge! It had been set in there and the string was tightened until it held the saddle in place! Like magic no screwing required! This guaranteed that as soon as the string tension came loose the saddle and screw would come loose every time NOT like it’s supposed to. Soooo sad service especially since luckily here at home I have many of those saddle screws laying around. It would have been better service to call me/order the correct part than to wait for me to get home figure out that I have the wrong part and have to deal with it myself. Smh.
Ignored from the time I walked into the store until I left.Walked a circle throughout looking for help only to find employees chatting it up. Both looked up at me and quickly turned away and continued talking to each other. Will never get my business.
9. The Music Shoppe Inc.
Address: 2940 Constitution Dr, Springfield, IL 62704 , Manito , Illinois , United States
I had a wonderful experience shopping here. Very kind and helpful service!
Love the staff and their knowledge. As expressed earlier, customer service is not rushed, and makes you feel they have your best interest.
COVID-19 screws up everything, and the erring on the side of caution somewhat draconian. I understand not wanting to get sued, and being concerned for the safety of themselves and their customers, but common sense must be patient and wait outside
I have worked with the repair shop and, specifically, the woodwind repair specialist, Annie, many times. Annie is extremely knowledgeable and sensible when it comes to instrument repair. She performs regular maintenance work efficiently and always makes sure to communicate exactly what work she did. If I ever have an emergency problem with any of my or my students instruments, Annie is able to quickly locate the problem and repair it with ease. I highly recommend using the Music Shoppe for any repair work needed.
Last time I came in here I had an employee make fun of me/my instrument because it wasn’t high end (which I knew). Now that I work on my own instruments I know better than to put up with snobby musicians like the one I dealt with here. Three stars because I can’t condemn the entire establishment because of one or two rude employees.
The Music Shoppe has always provided quality service. We have purchased one instrument from them, but had other instruments serviced. They have knowledgeable staff and I have never been disappointed with any repair or maintenance work they have completed. They bent over backward once to help us in a pinch.
My only complaint is that they are so busy with schools, it is hard to get personal instruments in. (They told me 3 weeks before they could even look at my daughter’s instrument.)
These people are consistently quality professionals. Over the last 5 years I have trusted their service and have not been disappointed.
Nice staff, wonderful selection, higher end of the usual price range though.
I went to get my clarinet fixed and they tried to up sell me on getting all my pads fixed and thought I was a child and were annoyed I came in the store when I came to pick it up. I will not be using these services again because of the horrible service I received from the workers.
Looked at stuff for over 20 minutes without getting attention of any staff members on a very slow day. I literally was carrying a list of items I needed. Prices were way out of line. Selection was slightly better than Guitar Center.
I went in to have my saxophone serviced. The saxophone I play is pretty nice. I mentioned that I played it in marching band and the woman belittled me for playing a nice instrument in marching band. Sorry I don’t have an unlimited supply of saxophones.
11. Hudson Vinyl
Address: 121 E Lake Ave, Peoria, IL 61614 , Manito , Illinois , United States
I was very impressed.
Lots of vendors very reasonably priced and very clean. I wished I wasn’t traveling home by train. I would have purchased several items but my suitcase wasn’t big enough.
Record booth located inside antique mall. Wide variety of music genre on vinyl. Cassettes and cds are available. A new arrival section of vinyl. A nice place to search for records and physical music media.
I purchased some vinyl through Two Sisters where there is a no return policy. There was an issue with one of the albums so I messaged Hudson Vinyl who went out of their way to make sure everything was made right with all parties. First class business!
Awesome place love the ppl that own and run it
It’s always a good vibe walking in
So much to look at.
Fun antique store with variety of items. Cute little cafe.
12. RBC Entertainment
Address: 2010 E Bishop Ave, Peoria, IL 61614 , Manito , Illinois , United States
Jeff is amazing to work with. Affordable rates, good music and personable DJ. My wedding had no alcohol and he still got most of the guests out on the dance floor. Would definitely recommend. My only critique would be to play a few more slow songs so people get a slight break from the full-on dancing songs haha. Otherwise, great experience.
It was a great experience.
Very easy to work with!

I was just most the ladies are really nice, the one there tonight was awful. Very rude!!!! Abby and Ashley go out of there way to be nice!! I go there often will not go in if i see her there when i drive up!!!
Shells were stocked store was organized and customer service was excellent!!!

Friendly staff and convenient
Clean and stocked
Store just seems dirty and dark but the workers are great
Long lines
Wish they sold fresh produce and clothing that was my size, I am not a 3xl,2xl, S, or M!
Was at South Pekin location and left got home after closed and realized $12 worth of items purchased were not with me they were left in store. When called and discussed the situation I was asked to wait over 36 hours til the manager came in.. If it wasnt for the milk my children needed for there cereal I purchased 2 mondo size boxes of I wouldn’t maybe be do upset but WITH a receipt and no other way to prove I was forced to go buy milk elsewhere so for future I might do the same for all my last minute must haves I may just do just that, shop elsewhere. Employee was not rude tho at least thats the only other nice comment I have.. Sorry wish they were as well
14. Mayberry Music & Sound
Address: 301 E Broad St, Jonesboro, IL 62952 , Manito , Illinois , United States
Always a pleasure doing business with Mayberry Music & Sound. They are always welcoming and genuinely seem to be happy to see you…as if you’re an old friend stopping in. Very informative and helpful.
Very nice store. Have everything u need. Very helpful and nice.
Great selection! More than to be expected from a small music store!
I really enjoyed the customer service. Employees were really helpful and professional
Decent music store, new contemporary keys not there.
Buy guitars and strings there sometime.
I brought in a new guitar for warranty work, as they are a licensed dealer of this particular brand. They refused to perform the work because it “wasn’t worth the headache”. This was a guitar that I ordered thru them. I’ll take my business elsewhere, and you’d be well advised to do the same.
To pricey for old models
Really bad customer service and overpriced.
