😠 I am rating this store a one star. Yes we all are wearing mask but your eyes can be friendly. I called the store and spoke to Niya and she was pleasant. I walked in the store and the man in the green shirt saw me walk in and didn’t speak or anything. He walked in the back and came back out and... People often mention store, Christian, person,

    I am rating this store a one star. Yes we all are wearing mask but your eyes can be friendly. I called the store and spoke to Niya and she was pleasant. I walked in the store and the man in the green shirt saw me walk in and didn’t speak or anything. He walked in the back and came back out and I was standing there as a first time customer. He walked past me, not once did he say can I help you or nothing. Not even a hello. I asked him about a book and he nastily said what and I asked again and he said we don’t have it and walked away. I expect better service than that from a person working working in supposedly a Christian book store. I see another person reviewed it the same. Probably the same person I encountered. Take some customer service tips from Chick filet or better yet be kind or get out of customer service. What a rude person. Never again will I go in there EVER. May God warm his cold heart.

    Looks can be very deceiving. Be careful that the appearance does not fool you. I spoke to a man named Stan here and he was so rude as I barely got a word out. He was not a Christian and for that reason, I do not recommend this center. As business owners living in this world, we cannot allow ourselves to be overtaken by negativity and a lack of spirituality. Poor behavior Stan is the reason for this review.

    I'm giving this place a 2 star review because the staff is very unfriendly. When I walked in there were two employees right at the entrance. There was no greeting of any kind even though I know they looked up and saw me because we made eye contact. I was looking for something specific and wandered around the whole store. Even though I was the only person in the store not one of the three employees I saw there approached me to see if I needed any help. I finally went to the front desk to ask for help. After waiting for a while for a conversation to come to an end between the two employees the desk I finally asked for the item I was looking for. I was told very gruffly that they didn't have it and then the person just turned their back to me. There was no offer of help to find something else that might be similar. The one positive thing is they have a lot of vegetarian meat options and other health food type foods. But they are very highly priced and you can get them cheaper almost anywhere else.

    The store has various services available depending on what is required. It also has an extensive range of healthy Vegetarian and Vegan foods, very easy to prepare in our homes. And wonderful books with different themes that enrich knowledge, in a safe, clear and correct way. 👍😉

    Been coming here since I was a child. I just feel now that the people working need to be more friendly. I'm just saying....it is the Adventist Book Center. Last couple of times I've gone in there I felt like I was an inconvenience.

    Simply the Best. I buy all of my Sabbath School materials from there. When ever I need any Christian items, the ACB is my go to place. I can remember when it used to be called ABC store but in NC that stands for the liquor store. I love that store, can't every leave without spending more money than I expected to spend.

    I spoke to Stan today on the phone about getting the new Sabbath School Quarterly coming up. Unfortunately, I have to say, it was not a pleasant experience. As I explained to him the issue I was having finding it on their website, I asked him if he could stay on the phone long enough to walk me through in case I had anymore complications. He rudely refused, saying he had other customers, and that if I had anymore problems, just call and place my order. Mind you, they close at 5:30pm, and the time I called was 5:16pm. With that being said, I am not convinced that he was so busy with customers that he couldn't have gave me two minutes of his time, if that long. Will not take it personal because I know my God, and why this is happening so much lately. After all, we are at the end times, and therefore, will see a lot more of this than we will love and care. However, for those who are new to Christianity, and searching for truth, please do not stray away from Adventists, and God. There's bad in every denomination, but also good. Just keep your eyes open to us (good ones), and you'll find us. So sorry for anyone else who has had these experiences within Adventism and Christianity as a whole, for that matter. It is truly an embarrassment to us when others say they're Christian but don't act like it. It really gives us a bad name. I will be praying for you, and those who aren't being Christian.

    Great time to go, it was very quiet at10:30 a.m. Great selection and all aspects seemed to be covered. I was able to find enough reading material to last a couple of weeks and there is more to explore on my next visit. Several items I didn't know existed; magazine excerpts for example. Good selection for Christians and those interested in the Adventists view. Will be visiting again.
