Great service, awesome prices, always has sales going on and always has coupons avaliable. It’s a very clean store and in a great location. Would definitely recommend

I apparently wrote my review on a CLOSED location that moved from another area of Westminster to this location in the Town Center Area.
So what’s up with the framing scam? First off, I know that framing is expensive, so I try to go when they have the semi-​annual frame sale.
We went over two weeks ago and I had a large piece, and KK had an awkwardly sized piece as well. I picked out a frame and mat, and without flinching, the girl working quoted me $ 385 (supposedly 80% off the normal price). So I went back to the drawing board and ended with something near $ 200 (about $ 60 more than I planned). KK also settled at nearly $ 200.
Fast forward. So we picked up our orders over the weekend. The sale was over, so I thought that I would have a little fun and reality test the situation. I have an exact duplicate piece the one that KK had done. I asked what it would cost under the «new» (non-​sale) price to have the exact duplicate made. Guess what? It would have been $ 20 cheaper NOT ON SALE. My only conclusion is that they jack their prices during the sale?
Anybody else have this happen to them? I would love to hear similar stories or any better framing alternatives.
I have to admit, that the work was good, but there must be some better, more honest, and affordable framing shop.
