Reviews
★★★★★2.1 (13)- ★★★★★Brenda JuarezGoogle
They never answer the phone. I call weeks and still no answer.
- ★★★★★Lee LucasGoogle
Absolutely worthless. We could be out of formula, called several times left several messages and no call back. Then you physically go there, and there isn't anyone there, it's not even busy. Worthless use of our tax dollars.

Never answer, return calls or respond to voicemails. No other way to contact either. When you're only open for short hours during the week, how is anyone supposed to get any help?
- ★★★★★Dray GoffGoogle
There is no way to get anyone on the phone for anything. No one answers no matter when you call.
- ★★★★★Brianna EvensGoogle
Everyone here is useless, no one to answers the phone and voice mails go unanswered for months.
