I visited with a friend while going to the Mall for lunch, we are both tea enthusiasts and I unfortunately live in Puerto Rico and don't have stores like these home. The store is bright, excellently stocked and organized. We were warmly greeted by Laura and Peggy. They alternatively explained the layout or would join us at the display highlighting different teas. Found the prices to be quite reasonable. Would definitely return.

Beautiful quiet park. You can walk around and see the different pieces or art, you can run walk and bike. I walked through looked at the art and it was nice. You can also sit and read, nice amount of sun or you can find a spot in the shade.

Georgia Nut Company Outlet Store

Reviewed By Allen21096 - Chicago, United States

This George Nut Company Outlet Store is located three blocks north of Touhy Ave. on Linder Ave. There is parking in front. Though they have a lot of candy packaged up, honestly, it seemed a bit more expensive for the amounts. They have a large selection of nuts. They also have old-fashioned candy, think satellite wafers, wax bottle fruit juices, candy buttons and more. We picked out a number of vintage candies for Halloween for my grandkids, to give them an idea what life was like 60 years ago with those candies. The staff was efficient and friendly. I'm sure that there are some good buys, here, you just have to know your prices.
