What the players say
I'm giving the store 5 stars for selection of gaming items and price. That said, you will need a strong constitution to stay long enough to shop all the isles due to the smell. I grew up in the 70s and 80s with "thrift" or "junk" stores which were basically just a storefront…
Physically could not stay in the store due to the heinous stench of cat pee / ammonia. I walked in briefly, hoping it would sorta go away, but it only got more and more nauseating. I couldn’t be in there longer than a minute. I don’t know how this store has been open for so long…
We love their selection of games and puzzles. They are too good not to hang on the walls.
Great selection, horrible health standards. You literally can't breathe. The cat piss smell is so bad. The fact that they sell candy bars at the front counter where the cat sits should be a health violation. Please don't buy food from here. Amazing selection. Not for the faint…
Today we took 2 steps inside the door and left immediately. The smell of cat urine, and something else disgusting, was so incredibly strong that I cannot imagine buying anything from Brooke's. It's too bad.
