Mulhall's

Ventured out here with my mom to see the Christmas displays and real reindeer, and get some fun holiday photos of my old teddy bear. We were not disappointed! Beautiful trees and poinsettias, a wide variety of plants for sale even at this time of year, the scent of cinnamon in the air, and more. I know we didn't get to see everything, but we had a great time! Their sign at the intersection of 120th and Maple is actually a little difficult to see (it's faded, and if you're headed west on Maple it's really not that visible) but once we spotted the entrance we found our way in just fine. Plenty of parking available. The public restroom is small, but it's okay. We look forward to returning soon to see what we may have missed, and to going back in the spring when we are ready for some beautiful flowers again!

***Update: Changing original review slightly from 3 stars up to 4 out of 5 stars since I recognize that it's about the wonderful plants that come first before anything else*** First and foremost, I am writing this review in hopes that somebody will take notice. The Good: I’ve been shopping at Mulhall’s for almost ten years now and became a member a few years ago because of their neat perks periodically throughout the year. It’s almost always a guarantee that the flowers and plants you encounter will be in wonderful condition (some of the best in the Omaha-metro area), which makes it worth the drive there alone. The Bad: Today at Mulhall’s started out as a normal day. As soon as you walked in, the candy/nuts that were being sold made the entrance smell warm and inviting. The atmosphere was nice and lively with all of the families and the gorgeous variety of Poinsettias that were there. Everything was fine until it was time to check out at the registers. There must’ve been a break in customers since I was the only one at the registers ready to pay for my purchase at the time. I didn’t say anything at first while I was waiting in line since one of the other Mulhall’s employees who was standing nearby noticed me fairly quickly and said to their group of co-workers, “Guys! You have a customer!” She had to say it twice to finally get their attention and when they turned around from having their backs turned to the checkout line, they looked quite annoyed that they had to ring someone up, which takes less than a minute to do. I was very polite the entire time and was never rude to any of them; I basically held my tongue until I left for the day. I’m giving this review three out of five stars because this is one area that still has not improved to this day over the last ten years. The interaction with Mulhall’s employees is usually a hit or miss experience; you never know what you’re going to get. However, I think I know what the issue is: It’s any employee who is younger than myself and I’m 31 years-old. I’ve NEVER had an issue with the employees who are also in their thirties, forties, fifty+, etc. For some reason, it’s usually someone in their twenties or younger who appear as though they could be a high school senior/college freshman that are inattentive to customers. It breaks my heart a little because I’m not trying to diminish Mulhall’s good reputation. I’m just being brutally honest about my consistent experience, that’s all. I really do hope everyone has a good day though, otherwise. I took photos of the beautiful plants below that I bought once I brought them home.

Like many other Omaha natives muhalls has been a place we frequent. Taking family photos, purchasing all of our holiday arrangements,trees, plants etc. For many years. We love muhalls, it's Been a tradition that my family has done for years. They live hours away from Omaha and they come in town to do a shopping spree at muhalls like 3 pick up trucks full lol and then we take a family photo. My family is large and apparently now muhalls has a photo policy and because my family was outside of their # policy by 1-4 people they would not allow our family to have pictures. We can come in as a large family and shop and spend money there but we aren't allowed to take a family picture. Which mind you we would also be paying to rent the space.. Not sure this is a great direction to go but I am sure it has some sort of benefit but not for my family. The manager was not accommodating. He would be ok with 1 person over but not more. So a family tradition that my family and I have been doing for years just like ends... We love muhalls and will miss our family tradition.. guess we will be looking for another spot.
