You really can stay within your budget shopping here
Valerie is one of the nicest people around here, in any business in Talladega!
I love shopping at Family Dollar in Talladega AL they are also so nice and courteous and today they music they was playing was a blessing to listen too God bless you all and have a great day ✝️
Store very understocked. Need more floor associate’s
Fast in fast out easy to shop really friendly people…..go Val!
Inexpensive place to get cleaning supplies and house hold essentials, biggest plus is it’s on the not so busy side of town and it isn’t Wal-Mart!
The large black lady was more concerned about being on her cellphone than she is about customers. She did not acknowledge my existence, she did not say a word to me, and she made me wait about 15 seconds while she was on her phone before ringing up my order.
Worst store I’ve been to in town. They wont talk to you if you say something and they won’t greet anyone I’m very disappointed with how they are. the managers are rude to and try to intimidate you
I purchased 4 items from this store. None worked, not one. I know it’s cheap but I feel like I was scammed.
4. Jewelry Exchange & Loan
Address: 504 North St E, Talladega, AL 35160 , Talladega , Alabama , United States
This company is a total RIP off. They offered me $60 for something and I went to Jim’s in pell city and got 3 times what they offered. They are a RIP off!!!
Do not go to this pawn shop ever, the lady that works there would not answer the phone. She said they do not buy electronics and they never have, would not even look at my jewelry or keyboard. Very rude and unhelpful.
5. Redbox
Address: 410 E Battle St, Talladega, AL 35160 , Talladega , Alabama , United States
I love going to walmart and it would be a perfect 5 star if only more registers would be open, other than that it’s my fav store.
It’s walmart
Their store is dark and half-stocked. Didn’t have half of what I needed.
Found decaf coffee, got grapes, they where out of Sam’s Cola. Need more decaf drinks in all stores. Need more selection of straps gor hauling stuff. BUT MAINLY NEED MORE CASHIERS THATS HUMANS. Store in Talladega needs better management. Store not keep clean, like I have seen other stores.
everywhere, immediately bombarded with people trying to get you to wear them. Shelves needed stocked. Went to self checkout & the machines hadn’t been wiped in a LONG time, so you have to scan everything multiple times for it to read. Not the best Walmart.
7. Pop The Top Soda Shop
Address: 704 E Battle St, Talladega, AL 35160 , Talladega , Alabama , United States
Love this place. Very polite and reasonable prices
Had a good hotdog and a very good shake.
Great service
Can’t beat good ice cream in a quaint location.
Cute on the inside but they only gave me half of my order. Ordered two hotdogs and two corn dogs, only got the hot dogs. By the time I realized it was too late to turn around
Charged my card more than what they needed to and denied it will never go back
Hot dog buns were half the size they normally are and they were so stale that he couldn’t eat them. I had yet another eyebrow hair in my food. Girls are not very friendly. I love this place but the last several times I’ve gone it’s not been up to par.

I had recently bought an Xbox that was messed up from GameStop so I brought it here to be fixed. They did an amazing job. Thank you. It now works great!
You guys are great! My children & I always feel welcome there. You are always helpful & patient even when my kids try to talk your ears off!
Really great service, the lady on the front was very polite and the selection of games is good.
Love this place. The owner is super nice and always let you know when she get new things in. A great place to get your electronics fixed.
Excellent
Very nice and helpful
Changed my email address on my device
I suggested this place to my dad who is a pastor at His Answer Ministries in Munford, Al.. dad called and made an appointment.. they waited and waited and no one came.. so finally they called and the person who answered said” oh I forgot .. I can’t spray a church anyway because of insurance” but I can sell you some stuff and you can spray it… horrible business practice and absolutely terrible way to treat a customer…

Nice visit as usual but the store still the lacks in supplies.
Loved it found everything I wanted
Very friendly
No comment
Still has dollar items, but like everywhere else, starting to get a little expensive.
No eggs
Staff not so friendly or helpful.
Place was a joke! More stock on the floor than on the shelves. Employees were nowhere to be found when I needed help. Too busy acting all gangster like with other shoppers that they appeared to know. I ended up walking out
I don’t appreciate being refused service 35 minutes before closing while another customer is being told to leave while he was still shopping.also slamming and locking the door with 3 other customers trying to come in and being told “I’m alone so I’m just closing”.This store has got to get better employees, there are some there I love but the others just need to go if they can’t do their job.
16. Presbyterian Home for Children Thrift Store (PHFC Thrift Store)
Address: 65364 AL-77, Talladega, AL 35160 , Talladega , Alabama , United States
Amazing staff, high quality music gear, instruments and very knowledgeable.
Great place. Have all your music needs. Karen will order if needed.
Great people
It’s a shame places like this will be going out of business soon. If they would have what I needed or was interested in like certain pickups or more interesting pedals and better guitars this would be an awesome place the last time I went in there the walls were filled with Nashville guitars and they had a couple good electrics but literally every acoustic guitar hanging on the wall was a Nashville guitar and I was looking for a Taylor or Martin but I’ve never seen anything like that in that store I go there to buy picks and strings but that’s only because they don’t have a guitar store in Talladega. When they don’t have pickups I need they asked me if I want them to order it but in this day and age I can just do that myself and get it for cheaper because looking at the price of the looper pedals they’re not buying them wholesale they’re buying them straight off of a website and marking the price up.. The people are super nice I hate giving a three-star review but I’m just being honest.
Large selection!! Beautiful instruments!!
Wonderful music store.Friendly staff. Very helpful in supplying me with what I needed from instrument to private music lessons.
I read reviews for this shop and thought it was an honest place to sell my gear. I walked in with an Epiphone AJ 220, with an Epiphone molded hardshell case I bought seperately, and an Epiphone “Snake Pit” 15w practice amp. ALL in like new condition. She plugged the guitar in and it was only the fourth time it had ever been plugged in. I never put the guitar in the case without wiping it down first. Look everything I listed up for yourself, and you’ll see what I lost. I messed up and let the lady know that I was in dire need of money for my family. The old guy asked where I bought it, and when I told him, he said he’d lost alot of business to “places like that”. No. I looked around the shop, and all he had was used gear that had been repaired and put up for sale. Junk. My guitar was the nicest instrument there! The reason he’s losing business is because he’s trying to sell junk and beating people in need out of what their instruments are worth. The lady acted like she was on Pawn Stars! If I hadn’t had needed the money really bad, I would have told her where she could stick her $200! That’s all they gave me for everything I brought in. Look up the items I listed, and you’ll see I did my part to support this business! The reviews I read must have been friends of theirs, because they definately misled me. Not fair at all.
Walked in today to look around and from the moment I walked in the door, the older gentleman (I guess the owner?) had his eye on me and was watching me like a hawk, made me feel unwelcome to be there. He asked if I was looking for anything in particular and when I told him very politely he didn’t have what I was looking for he arrogantly told me “I opened this store in 1973 and everything you see in the store is priced the same as you’d get it online” like ok bud I wasn’t complaining about the price you just don’t have what I was looking for. When I told him I wasn’t looking to buy today, and was just looking around he made a sarcastic comment about “well if you’re not buying, we can just put this back on the shelf” ??? I continued to walk around and look at some more product and he continued to watch me like a hawk until I got in my car and pulled out of the parking spot. All of my musician friends have recommended I don’t frequent this store, and I can honestly say, after that experience, I will not and will tell anyone that asks not to either. Lousy excuse for customer service.

Last minute rush to get strings as I slid up they were locking the door at closing. Very kind ladies actually let me in knowing I wasn’t spending much money for their time but smiled and were soo kind. I will be back. earlier next time.
Love everything that ive bought from the guitar shop. Ask the people that work there are always so nice and friendly to everyone that comes in the shop. Definitely one of my favorite places to go and shop for anything related to guitars. So I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to buy or even slightly interested in guitars.

Address: 1211 Noble St, Anniston, AL 36201 , Talladega , Alabama , United States
Got a trumpet here! It’s good! Not much else to say.
Had what I needed . Helpful staff.
Overpriced
It’s just ok
Bad staff
My son’s band director recommended this place. Staff was nice, and allowed my son to try out a couple of instruments. However, when I mentioned we wanted to do rent to own, they said they no longer do that. We could essentially only purchase outright or finance. When I asked about discounts, I was told they don’t do discounts, but it would be cheaper to just buy the instrument outright. As of today, they still have the rent to own program advertised on their website, along with discounts and advantages of the program, which is the main reason we made the 1.5 hour drive. I also found the exact same instrument for over $200 cheaper somewhere else. People seem nice, but this was really disappointing. Please don’t advertise if you can’t offer it.
We were overcharged for a high hat cymbal that we ordered. When they refunded the difference, they did not refund the taxes on the difference.
We try to support local business as much as possible. But when they are not considerate of the value of our money, it’s time for us to find another store.
