Very friendly and knowledgeable business. The greatest aspect is that they are not price gouging during this time which is commendable. Thank you Walsers!

I stumbled upon this place online and was very intrigued when I read that they were an FFL and an Art Store. When I went in I was greeted by Mr. Walser, who was the one that helped me with purchasing some ammo. They have a small little area for all your firearm needs. Everything there was priced normally, especially during this time where every other store is price gouging. They have a limited supply at the moment, but I was told if I need something specific I should email and they would try their best to get it for me. There was no line, and it was quick and easy. I hesitate to even write this review because I dont want people to know about this spot since it might be my new place to go to, but after my experience I believe they deserve all the business in the world.On the side, I did explore their art supply selection and they do seem to have a good selection of things, but Im not an expert on art, so I will let someone else comment on that.Lastly, I loved their back corner of electronic nick knacks. There was just a bunch of random stuff I enjoyed looking through. Oh, and I almost forgot their awesome area of food and snacks.This place was just awesome to come to. Its the definition of mom and pop shop, and Im so happy to have stumbled across them. Im about an hour away from them, but I will be more than happy to drive that distance to deal with them again. Again, Mr. & Ms. Walser were a joy to deal with and happy to have met them.

Amazing customer service, highly courteous and polite staff. Great location, well stocked and organized store.I only found out about Walsers through an online dealer that showed them as an approved FFL dealer. After reading their reviews on Google I decided to not proceed with my online order and go check them out instead and I’m very glad I did. I emailed them and they replied promptly so next day in the morning I headed there and made my purchase. Ive been going to other gun stores lately and its been hectic and kind of stressful to be honest but not here. It was actually the most stress free smooth transaction I ever had. This is my go to FFL dealer from now on for sure. Please do yourself a favor and check them out for all your firearm needs and did I forget to mention they’re an arts and craft store as well?! Lol.

This is a great store. So many art supplies, and other items,like computer monitors, and vintage gaming systems at great prices. The owners are wonderful, and so are the staff. Greatest art store ever, nothing compares to Walsers. Many great deals are to be had here. I have been here more than a few times and it has consistently been a pleasant place to shop.

I really like this place. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They helped me to choose the appropriate markers for my type of art and gave me insight on the difference between art books. Terrific customer service.

Funky mix of art and firearms

Review №25

I remember the old locations where the store was much nicer with a wide selection of art supplies. The new location is a shell of its past: far smaller selection of merchandise. Now with the clutter of junk, for some reason, the store doesnt feel as welcoming. Walsers never did have competitive pricing, but at least they used to have a very wide selection .

This place was seriously everything an artist would ever need. Good luck finding it or getting help from someone. Location is terrible and the way merchandise is wedged in by there e-recycling. Also they take all e-recycle (old TVs, computer monitors ext. )

Ammo & Art whats not to love. Certain items are abit overpriced but definitely worth going to.

Review №34

A good pace for recycling. It used to accept all kinds of things. Now, it accepts a narrower range of stuffs, some of which incur a small fee.

Hard to find even with navigation. Its in the back of a warehouse area. Staff warmly greeted me and asked if I needed help. They carry Pentalic sketchbooks, which Ive only found online.

I used to love Walsers. They beat out Joanns and Michaels just for the quality and quantity of stock alone. But ever since they moved to their new location its like shopping in someones overcrowded garage. Its a mess. Im a big supporter for the small chain, but Blicks have the same stock and at a competitive price.
