Party City in other cities:
The selection is good. Some of the shelves were bare, but that is life in a pandemic. I didnt find exactly what I was looking for, but I found something that would work.The one thing that bothered me was the way the supervisor/manager spoke to the young clerk. He scolded her in such a way in front of me that I felt bad for her and that made me, the customer, uncomfortable. I did not see a transgression worthy of such a tone.
I went here expecting a party the size of a city block and boy was I surprised. The kind employees kim and John were very helpful and informed me that indeed they were not throwing a party but could sell me a party instead! Boy was my face red folks, it sure was embarrassing. Anywho, I found a new place to hang out and some new friends here with the party city crew and would highly suggest that you spend some time here for your next event. They will scour the isles in search of the most festive of cup. Party poppers are not illegal here in our great state so do not fear asking for them. I would say that I love them, but am afraid they will not say it back. Open hours are very consistent and I feel safe here.
I usually have such a hard time at this location with getting help. I’ve received attitude or people just being rude. But today I went in and Faye went out of her way to help me! I work for a company that prides themselves on exceptional customer service and I would say Faye gave the same amount of customer service that I would expect from my own team! Thank you for taking the time to help me pick out balloons and everything, Faye! This company is lucky to have you!
Clean. Friendly. Well organized and easy to navigate. Decent selection but too much themed stock and not enough custom. For example, if your girl wants a princess or unicorn party, youre good to go. Otherwise, youre screwed. Great for Halloween too. I like the individual party favors and candy. Super pricey but its the one thing you can utterly customize down to the last detail and get the exact amounts you need.
The staff just need to learn to greet customers waiting in line. The big gentleman at the register had customers who were ordering a bunch of graduation balloons. We stood in line about 10 minutes while the customers decided which ones they wanted and how many. My husband and I understand the pressure behind the register, therefore we were not upset or impatient, but he never once acknowledged our presence while we were waiting patiently. Again, I know he felt under the gun and he appeared to be getting frustrated himself, but if ANYONE in the store would have said, well be right with you it wouldve been a nice gesture. Basic customer service 101.
Online it said they had 14 of an item I needed. I looked around the store and couldnt find it. When I asked for assistance I was told they would help me when they finished checking everyone out then they would help me look. 20 minutes later still no help... Just walked out the door and ordered them on Amazon. Ill have them tomorrow. Thanks for the great customer experience 👍
This happened at the Great Lakes store . The cashier was rude ! When I walked in I was carrying a party city bag and she asked me if I had a return I said no then she said then why are you coming in here with a party city bag ? I let her know that the Rochester store called for me to see if they had the cake box I was looking for and by this time I was not pleasant to her . The cashier was only interested in talking to her mom and the only reason why I know this is because she told her mom she loved her when she left the store . I will NEVER go to this location again ! I dont even want to give 1 star but this wont post if I dont
The management here is awful and everything is overpriced. Last time I was over there linda was the manager and she was rude and not professional at all. I dont understand how someone is allowed to be a manger at a customer service based business when they dont know how to treat customers. Dont waste your time here unless you WANT to be treated like garbage.
How do you let your store run out of helium because otherwise whats your purpose.? Everything else in that store can be bought somewhere else for cheaper. Apparently you cant buy any balloons that are already blown up. I just wanted one birthday ballon for my moms 50th and the lady didnt even hand me the 1 item that I ended up purchasing. She just left it on the counter towards her.
Very fun store...saddened that they reduced the greeting and birthday cards to just a few rows. Use to go to Party City all the time to stock-up. Only, boo! That I have. Otherwise, I have fun looking around and get all my wrapping paper, ribbons, and bows there. Freaked out when my husband said they were almost out of helium when he went to get my 55th birthday balloons. Nof Party Citys fault really. Just a shortage country wide. Weird thing to have to ration. LOL!
I used to shop here at least once a week to appease my 4 year old daughter (the board games, shopkins, dolls, tutus, hair extensions, penny candy, I even liked the the things they had like decorative little topiaries and such. Even if overpriced, we lived super close. I used to use this place to theme all my parties, basically, I spent a ton of money there. But as thier staff changed, or perhaps I just took notice of the long haired gentleman in his 30s who looks like a stoner and the the larger gray haired man who looks about 60, both with beards. The way they approach customers is so incredibly blunt and rude right infront of tons of other people too, uncaring. Come to think of it the whole staff is now rude like that, just rude and unapologetic about everything when the store is really not THAT great. Honestly everytime I did a party they were lacking in multiple items, its only good just for fun and the helium balloons are crazy, crazy overpriced, and they are always out of everything and annoyed. I found the dollar store has a far better selection, more up to date cartoon characters for toddlers and far friendlier and patient staff.
Maybe a ok place to shop but being an associate not so much. I hired in for holiday help . I was skeptical when I was never asked for my ID or SS card . They couldnt get me in the system for some reason so I couldnt punch in and out . A week and a half goes by and I was asked to go on register. I had no way to log in still (as far as I knew) I said I need a log in to get the register . Manager #1 said you have put in the system Ill get your log in . Manager #2 asked how I was punching in and out .I said I havent I didnt know that I finally got numbers (no one told me ) So now Im thinking for the last 5 days they haventh been tracking my hours. I got my cash card (paycheck) but no money was on it. A couple worker had told me that robin (manager) told her its something Im doing they got a email saying my money was on there. Why is a manager talking about my pay info to another employee (not professional at all). Manager #2 had asked what days I can work. I told her every other day since I have to be up at 230 am everyday for my other job . That way the days i didnt work I could leave job #1 go home a catch up on sleep . She ended up scheduling me 4 days in a row (I could do more days in a row if I had shorter shifts. On top of that I told them Im available between 1p -9p. So they schedule me 1-9. I wasnt looking to work another 8 hours on top of the 8 hours I work from job #1. I worked 2 days of 16 hours between both jobs. The 3rd day I worked job #1 and called PC. manger gave#1 me an attitude about it said she fired to 2 people the day before and had another call no show already that day .I said I need sleep Im exhausted .She said I need you to work its getting to be busy and asked if I was cominiin the next day or should she take me off the schedule .I even told her I told manager #2 to schedule me every other day. I get 4 hours of sleep at night and trying to work 16 hours days 4 days in a row was a little much. She ended up hanging up on me . I dont know why I was asked what I could work when it wasnt going to be followed. Why bother asking what I want to work? When I went into work the following day she had crossed me off the schedule anyways.So I left on lunch and didnt return .Oh yeah one half hour break for 8 hours ?!?!? Not cool especially when Ive been on my feet since 3a. Management not professional at all!!
Great place to get your party supplies, invitations, good bag items, and so on. Every year for Holloween we go there to pick out our costumes, although for anuthing that is super popular you have tp get there first or second day they start selling costumes because they go fast. If you arw looking for Holloween decor, go the day before Holloween, you can even negotiate some prices.

2022-06-18Similar to the other reviews, they really had horrible customer service. I went there this morning to get some balloons for my family and I asked one of the staff members to show me regarding graduation balloons. She said she was a store manager and she refused to walk over to answer my question (which only takes a minute to get there). She was discriminating me against other customers. While I stood there waiting to get help, she was super nice to other people walking inside and picking up balloon orders, but to me she would raise her voice with very upset and high-pitched voice when she talked to me several times. There were 3 people working at the register, and I really don’t understand why they can’t take one minute out of there time to show me graduation balloon and answer my question. It really does not take that much time. I will be calling to report this discrimination. I did not need to be yelled at and treated with upset voice at 9am on Saturday morning. I was treated very poorly today and I will not return to this store after today.

2022-06-10Horrible management, lack of care for customer service. Waited in line for 15min while witnessing 5 employees scramble to help one customers delivery order. Which forced a 10 person lineup, when asked if I could leave cash over the amount of product and tax I was threatened with the act of stealing from the manager. We left without purchasing will and never be back!

2021-07-04Theres always tons of choices in products, but theres never enough stock. Its PARTY city, I shouldnt have to go to two of their locations to find more than 40 plates in the same color. They should have more than 20 champagne flutes in stock. Any time I try to buy little appetizer or dessert vessels, they have about 2 ten-packs in stock. Ive been going here out of necessity for years, but I almost always ordering from Amazon now because they dont have enough of what I need for parties. Im a caterer by trade. I know parties... When your entire store revolves around supplying parties, you should be able to accommodate a party over 20 people at any given time.

2020-12-20One of the best places to shop for Halloween. Always a treat for kids to enjoy the costumes and decorations at this location. The candies and sweets have alot of variety. The place is well stocked and associates are very helpful even during the pandemic times.
