And now, they have a large discounted area upstairs. They also have great sales-and a great kitchen//hosting/entertaining department. But what I love most about shopping at this particular location, is the huge skylight above the main shopping floor. I believe it's a holdover, from when Brandon Exchange first opened in the 90s, and this was a Burdines ("the Florida store"). The natural light is invigorating and inviting. It helps keep the good vibes flowing when you're shopping on a tight deadline or at the end of a long, busy day. This Macy's is on the west side of Brandon Exchange, with plentiful parking right outside. I feel like it's good value for money most of the time. Last time I had to return something, it was an easy process. And I like that there are clerks in each department. I'll always come bank to this store.

Every time I walk in there I'm surprised because my mind keeps assuming this was a temporary landing spot. Maybe they thought that could copy DSW with the boxes piled in lieu of a display. But DSW is spacious and they have more than two- 5ft rows. Oh and they're a WAREHOUSE! Hard to comment on service when they have no product.

NORDSTROM RACK From…read morethe scattered reviews I read, I decided to stop at Nordstrom Rack. I was only three miles from their Brandon store and in need of a few men's shirts and dress pants. I was aware that Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of the luxury department store chain, Nordstrom. I went there not expecting Walmart or other merchants prices. I found the men's shirts and pants racks and found several items that were the color and size I was looking for. A shirt that listed at $198.98 was on sale reduced 68% to a mere $74.96. It was a regular long sleeve shirt by Polo, Ralph Lauren. With all due respect to India where the shirt was made, I wondered what costly threads were used to make such a pricey shirt. The same was true of the pants and several other items. Mind you that these items in the off price store were on yet another discounted clearance rack in the store. Nordstrom may want to rethink their sales techniques at their chain of stores before people start realizing it's not a really an off price store.

It was what was expected from a Nordstrom Rack. What was not fun was how hot it was inside. It felt…read morelike I was wearing too many clothes in an inferno in my sandals, shorts and tank top. I was only able to stay for a little bit before I had to leave. 24.01.2025

Yes, the prices can be higher on some things-but you get what you pay for... and they do have good sales. Bedding, bath, fragrances-this is still like the department stores lots of us grew up with. It's well-stocked in all departments and they still do gift wrapping. I've had good service here, too. I'm so glad there's still a Dillard's in Brandon Exchange-and so many other Bay Area malls. I'll be back again and again. p.s. lots and lots of parking, too!

We learned that it was for an event they hold twice a year. All the employees we spoke to were very nice. The only downside of this unexpected experience was with someone who I believe was hired for the event (not an employee of Dillard's) was very rude and ignored me when I tried to ask a question that would have taken two seconds to answer.

The cashier asked her if she could assist and check out some customers - so Sarah decides to call someone else to come up and goes about straightening the back counter to align folders and other paperwork. If she's not trained to run a register, she should not be working behind them. She clearly had nothing else to do at that time. I had one bottle of perfume, was next in line and just put it on the counter and walked out. Kudos to the lone cashier (I wish I caught her name) because she was giving 100% with the amount of customers waiting and processed at least 3 returns while I was in line.

I always have to order clothes online and end up returning half of them- or I just can't find anything in stores that I like once I try them on. However, this new boutique in Brandon mall has SUCH cute clothes, and I was very surprised at how well made they are. This store has the latest fashion trends- focusing towards young adults mostly, but it still has options that everyone would like. All of these clothing are mostly organized by color, which I prefer when I'm looking for something specific.The clothing do, unfortunately, range from Small-Large sizes. This is a boutique though, so that's understandable. I love how these clothes fit on me, and the staff was super sweet and helpful. Jennifer helped me find things, and offered to start a dressing room for me as soon as I came in- which I thought was great. I hate carrying clothes around the entire store. The prices are completely reasonable too! Going to chain stores, I always run into such high prices; I even end up paying over $30 for a shirt in some cases- which is INSANE. I'm so happy that this boutique has well-made and affordable clothes. There's a huge selection of colors too, and it's very well organized and clean in the store. I bought this purple dress for a great price and a really cute, white romper for $17! I will definitely be coming back to buy more, and I'm so glad I found this place! I will be recommending this to all of my friends. There's something for every occasion, and you should definitely take a look!

Everyone needs to stay warm ya know. Now coming in here, we park at Dillards, and I get the Wonder Years Vibes. Remember that show from back in the day with Fred Savage & Danica McKeller - Kevin and Winnie Cooper I believe. It's the faded periwinkle green carpeting that makes it so back in the day. It has that feel to it, but I know I've seen even more throw back malls. Happy that we can walk inside here with no issues. I don't come here often at all, and I just walk around. They have stores like Apple, Lush, Dicks, Macy's, Blind Tiger Coffee. I really can't remember many, but they had a cool area by Apple with photo OPPs. Kids were having fun playing on the swings. It wasn't a playground just currently a beach looking type set up that was super cute, & Cherry blossom trees on the other side of it That definitely stood out to me.
