I still have shoes and other items I have purchased there many years ago, and everything's still good as new. There is an uplifting and positive vibe to the merchandise curated by Jane, the owner/buyer. This is further reflected in the kindness and courtesy of the management and staff. If you're in town visiting your university student offspring, here to attend a wedding, or whatever, I recommend adding Bonomo's to itinerary/funlist.

There is a jeweler on the premises that will custom make a necklace, bracelet, or earrings to match any occasion, or your selected clothing. There is a huge jeans and capris selection in the back that is almost hidden, but certainly worth a a peak. Coffee, tea, or water are offered, while you shop. Masks are required and social distancing is easy to maintain. I love the personal attention and pampering. This is a great shop to get a unique gift for someone who is hard to shop for. They even carry designer masks!

For Hokie fans and followers, Rally House appears to be the most complete fan store in the area…read more Rally House took over what used to be the Tech Bookstore - it's located on Main St in the downtown portion of Blacksburg. Rally House will definitely be busy during football gamedays, so it was a relief to visit them on a chill Saturday evening (and Sunday morning). They have a big (but not too big) showroom, and they offer anything and everything you could imagine. If you can think of it (and you if you want it to display Virginia Tech), they have it. Being a huge basketball and football fan, I came in looking for clothes. When I came across their website a few weeks ago, I noticed they offered Nike gear that the other local Hokie-centric stores simply don't have. I kept a mental note of the items I was interested in and picked them up during my recent Blacksburg visit. Rally House's main entrance is actually on the second floor. This building was built on an incline (i.e., hill), so their showroom is technically downstairs. Once you've gone down the stairs, you will find a clean and organized showroom full of Virginia Tech clothing and various other items. They also offer gear for the Washington professional sports teams - Commanders, Capitals, Nationals (hmm, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think I saw any Wizards gear). There is one wall that offers Blacksburg tourist-type clothing, which I thought was pretty cool. The staff is made up of mostly college students. They were all friendly and helpful. My purchase transaction was quick and easy. I obviously spent way more time looking, but I was comfortable throughout my visit and wasn't pressured to buy anything. Finally, their price points matched (relatively) with other local Hokie shops. Some items were a bit more expensive, but from what I could tell, the more expensive items were the items that weren't available anywhere else. Thank you, Rally House! JV

This was the only worthy shopping escape within downtown Blacksburg that offered cute, unique…read moreclothes. They have some really pretty dresses here, some of which I purchased for formals and special occasions. Mad Dog has quite a few cute shoes and accessories too, along with some interesting knick knacks for decor. They offer some cool picture frames as well, which I bought as gifts for a few friends, who loved them. The price tags on the clothes are a bit pricey, though. Not somewhere the average college student can regularly shop, unless you are one of those spoiled sorority girls who have their parents pay their credit card bill every month (which seemed to be the case with a lot of Mad Dog's customers). Overall, it is a nice escape to indulge in occasional retail therapy post-final exams.

Not impressed. I'm really surprised this store has stayed open as long as it has. They do have some…read morecute clothing, but they overcharge for them. The material of the dresses do not warrant the price tags that accompany them. The quality of the clothing is on par with Forever 21, but they're charging double or triple for it. They do have some cute accessories and small home goods. Considering this is one of the only places to shop in Blacksburg, it's not bad, but no matter what, you'll end up overpaying for anything you buy here.

I entered the store and no one even bothered to give me a second glance. I then walked around the store many times and again no one bothered to ask if I need the anything, tell me about the sales tell me about the clothing or even say hello! I think I was judged upon my which at the time I was meeting with a contractor so I just had jeans on and a Tshirt shirt, however in customer service you should treat everyone well. It was almost like I was in the movie pretty woman with plenty of money to spend but everybody treating me terribly. They need to get those associates a major customer service training because they don't know what customer service is!!! I wouldn't have given them 2 stars, but they did have nice clothing.
