Alco Discount Store

Alco automatically gets some extra bonus points due to the fact that it’s located in Demotte and happens to be the only store of it’s kind in Demotte. So, if you live nearby in Demotte or Wheatfield it’s convenient unless you feel like driving like a half hour to Valpo, Rensselaer, Hobart, or Merrillville. Alco is basically a Wal-​Mart, Target, or Meijer type of store. It isn’t a super big store, but it seems to have a good amount of nice things. The biggest flaw is that most of the things are not priced and most the ones that are priced are kind of over-​priced. I did find a few cool things though that i had to purchase like a cool Coca-​Cola cup, a pair of sweet pajama pants with baby chicks on them and they say «Chicks Dig Me», and a cool DVD with a bunch of Christmas B-​Movie classics including «Santa Claus Conquers the Martians» and the Mexican «Santa Claus» where Santa fights Satan. Considering how many movies are on the DVD, I do think that particular item was pretty affordable. The best thing about Alco I must say though seemed to be the staff. The girl at the front register in particular was extremely helpful and friendly. I would certainly return again again based on her generous service alone. Oh and it might sound strange, but the bathroom smelled really good.
