Any educator knows about Mardel. I have been to the one in Mesquite and the one in Plano and found them almost the same. However the Plano location has higher prices and a less friendly staff. They do not carry the Step Up to TAKS line of standardized testing reference books. They are mandatory for any 5th grade teacher.
If Mesquite is too far, then this location will suffice.
PROS: location, carries most materials
CONS: staff not helpful, expensive
