I’ve been recording songs in my home studio for a few years but I just couldn’t get my new project to sound right. The guys at Sound Lab knew what I was looking for right away. My new album turned out perfect! They have better gear and plug-ins than I do but Brian knew a lot of studio tricks when we were tracking that made a big difference too. Totally chill space, awesome gear and the engineer had a great vibe – I’d have to drive hours to find another studio that could offer anything like this and the prices would probably be double. I’ll definitely be coming back to Sound Lab IL.

Great store to have close to home. Almost all the employees there are great.
I love Dollar Gen it’s rite up the st frm my house prices are decent workers are nice and they have basically everything you need there
My local “go to” store for needs. Employees friendly and helpful. Like any dollar general minimal staff multitasking but they come quickly when you get to the register.
AVOID SHOPPING HERE!
I am very mindful of how I treat people who work at grocery and convenience stores because I know they have a difficult job. They’re putting their health and safety at risk as much as other first responders but without the recognition or appreciation other high profile professions get. Many of them are our kids, our older relatives who do this to get out of the house a couple of days a week. I have great respect for them.
That being said, this store is AWFUL! I no longer give them my money. The majority of the staff is rude and poorly trained. The store is often dirty, the produce is dirty and old, there are always piles of boxes and packing materials in the aisles but no one shelving merch. I have had to hunt down a cashier on several occasions because two of them would be standing in an aisle gossiping with each other and no one is at the register. And forget finding a manager, she’s never anywhere to be found. She’s either “not in” or “in the back” paying no attention to the store conditions, the customers, or the staff.
For a short period of time there was male manager (or assistant manager) that seemed to be cleaning the place up but he’s long gone. the new woman managing (or assistant managing) appears to be operating a kind of mean girls club that seems to get satisfaction from trash talking other customers and staff they don’t like. I agree with Amanda Rose H, years ago the staff were everyday helpful, friendly, polite people. Now they’re aggressive, rude, and confrontational.
The environment in this store is so toxic that, even though this store is around the block from my home, I will go out of my way to stop anywhere but here for my milk and bread. Without going into detail I’ve told my adult sons especially to stay away from there. Just not a good place for them to be!
Way over priced on generic merchandise
Very long lines

A really great antique store that has just about anything that anyone could be looking for. Small appliances, handmade antique furniture, a huge selection of kitchen tables, small decorative glassware, a huge collection of antique cookware and serving Ware, a huge selection of handmade quilts, even outdoor decorative items. We were traveling in the area from the Northwest side of Chicago and found out the very nice owner was a transplant from his younger days in Chicago. I give Country at Heart Antique store five stars!!
Such a nice and welcoming place to visit!
Nice things n nice service
It was good
A good selection of items to choose from.
Not good
wanted to go on a Sunday at 4:10, the store supposedly closes at 5, was already closed, if you’re not going to be open, change your hours on Google please.
5. Gleason & Co
Address: 385 Main St, Marseilles, IL 61341 , Marseilles , Illinois , United States
This hardware store has been in business many years and has everything.
I love how friendly and extremely helpful the staff is!
Very nice people and great merchandise. I had a bad experience when I walked in for a desk. No one helped me. I had to push it down the street by myself while a man screamed a story at the worker. No one asked him to lower his voice and what he was saying was bothering me. The worker and the client swore every other word and when I asked if they could use “nicer words” I was yelled at to mind my own g*!!@%& business.
Was a wonderful place well stocked with what you need. Sad to see it close.
6. Marseilles Sheet Metal Co Inc
Address: 901 W Bluff St, Marseilles, IL 61341 , Marseilles , Illinois , United States
The entire staff was courteous and polite. They were very quick to respond to a water heater issue at our residence. I highly recommend Marseilles Sheet Metal!
I didn’t know Marseilles Sheet Metal serviced residential AC units until seeing their billboard in Ottawa. I called them and within 24 hours, they were at my home to service my AC unit. Very prompt, professional and friendly service. I highly recommend them !
Amazing customer service experience!
POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! Didn’t return our initial phone call, we had to call them days later. They finally scheduled us then called two days later to say they don’t service our area. Meanwhile, it’s over 90 degrees in our home and we’re waiting for relief.
