Sports Xpress
This place is great. Places like this is why we need to preserve local stores instead of online ordering, and big box stores. You get a level of service here that would make higher prices ok, bit they are not! Prices as good or better than online/big box store, plus there is always a sale on what I went there looking for. I do recommend, we go here multiple times per sport season. Great store! ~moved
Advance Auto Parts
They will order parts from factory direct dealers. My car is rare and hard to get parts for but advance always tries and orders the parts but it does take a long time to get the parts. All I can say is at least they can get the parts because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't even be able to drive my car. ~Mark
Walgreens
Not one for negative reviews but, after 3 years, I'm at my wit's end with Ravenna Walgreens. I've had the same prescription for needles & syringes since December of 2018. In my time using Ravenna Walgreens as my pharmacy, they've only gotten my prescription right a handful of times. No matter how many times we explain to the techs that come through exactly how it needs to be filled, even if I have my doctor specify how to fill them in the instructions, my script is filled incorrectly and I'm unable to administer my medication until days, even weeks later. This last visit, when I called to have incorrectly filled needles exchanged, I was lied to by one of the techs. On the phone, I was told I could exchange whenever, however when I showed up the next day I was informed I wouldn't be able to exchange them until the pharmacy manager was present (which would be, you guessed it, the next day). I gave up and drove the extra 20 minutes into Kent to see about fixing the mistake or even buying the needed supplies outright. I will not shame Walgreens for poor staffing leading to them closing early on a regular basis, there is no way the staff can control that situation. I do, however, take offense at how incompetent and sloppy the staff seems to have been for the last few years. Why am I fumbling to fix a staff member's mistakes every time I come to this business? I've never had capsules or tablets be filled incorrectly, so why has there no communication on the most important part of my regular prescription fills for years straight? If you're looking for a pharmacy, Ravenna Walgreens isn't where it's at if you have any specific needs past basic orally-administered medication. ~Kam

Lots of cool stuff here. Just make sure you test any electronics before you buy. ~Darwin
Clark Gas Station
This local gas station has been around forever and is conveniently located in the heart of Kent off-campus living. The same staff have run this place for years, which can be a benefit for those who want to get to know the town of Kent and its locals a little better. On the downside, this place is quite a bit decrepit and not kept up the best throughout the years. Its small size also means only like 3 people tops can comfortably occupy the store at once. ~Jeff
Salons @1010 (formally The Bella Boutique)
Have been going here for awhile. Like 7-8 years. Great people, great outcome. They are Beauticians not magicians. But great with customers. Manicure, pedicure, hair cut, hair color, etc...... Still love the outcome of my color when I go. Love my orchid color !!!! ~Barbara
The Garden Spot
The owner was friendly, courteous and professional. He patiently listened to my rambling project description, gave me some sound advice, listened closely to my follow up questions and fully answered them, carefully selected just the right amount of seed I needed and could not possibly have been more helpful. All of that for a $1.50 purchase! ~Charles
