I recently purchased two sets of Nautica socks at the Ross on Kirby in Houston…read more When I got home and tried them on, I found that they were slippery and made my shoes squeak (probably why they were at Ross). Living 50 miles, I called ahead and was told by the person on the phone that there wouldn't be a problem returning socks without a receipt. I made the trip in rush hour traffic (seriously), only to be told by the manager, who confirmed that she was actually the same person I talked to on the phone, that no return could be made without the original packaging. I replied that the socks didn't come in a package, only a wraparound sticker and a plastic fastener. She replied that she knew this, but considered those things to be the package. Really?!? To any sane person, those things are just trash! I suggested that she just scan an identical item from the shelf, but she refused, saying something like there was a chance of scanning the wrong one. I knew that there were only two versions of this product, though, because I had bought one of each version! It's standard practice for retail stores to grab a matching product from the shelf in order to scan the UPC. Her refusal to do so seemed to be a deliberate attempt to save face and deny my reasonable request. This misleading info and poor service wasted my time and fuel. I reached out to the corporate office, to give them a chance to make this right, but all they did was quote the return policy, which I did not run afoul of. To be more specific, the return policy does not require that the item be in its original packaging. I will be happy to remove my poor review of Ross Stores when they issue me a refund. Until then, y'all are better off going to the competition. There's plenty out there.

This is a gargantuan shopping mall close to my house with a series of mega big box stores, and some little places and restaurants - even a popular local Boba chain, Teahouse. The parking lot is iffy in terms of drivers and potholes, but it still scores 4 because you don't expect such a massive and multi-faceted strip mall so close to the medical center in inner city Houston - it's really very handy for all the locals.

Meyerland Plaza can…read morebe hectic to navigate, but the store is closer to the Endicott side where it's not so chaotic. The store is clean, tidy, and well organized. Nothing is worse than trying to dig through clothes in a messy, unorganized store. It's set up pretty similarly to other locations. They usually have a good playlist going and the staff is always nice. I almost always find something at this store. I've purchased clothing and accessories. Their shoe section is pretty large and they apparently have a good selection of Hoka shoes. I haven't shopped for home goods, but they seem to have a good variety. I really love this location. It beats going out to Sugar Land or Clear Lake.

The Shops at Houston Center (which recently rebranded as The Highlight) is a super convenient spot…read moreright in the heart of downtown, especially if you use the skywalks to get around. It's an excellent place to grab a bite or take care of errands during the week, featuring great lunch staples like Salata, Leaf & Grain, and Doozo's Dumplings. They also have an awesome tech-infused mini-golf spot called Puttshack and a GNC, making it a really solid mix of quick dining, entertainment, and everyday essentials.

Oh, The Galleria! My ex-husband is from Houston and I've…read morebeen to The Galleria many, many times. In fact, I started going long before I knew my husband. My dad also lived in Houston and we'd often do shopping or eating at the mall. My daughter (who is now 30) loved (& still does) skating at the ice rink during the holidays. It's a magically fun experience. The Galleria is always incredibly decorated for the holidays. I still get to Houston 1-2 times a year and always enjoy visiting The Galleria. The Galleria itself has not only the ice rink but office space, two hotels, lots of places to eat, and shopping. The retail offerings range from shops like H&M, Macy's, and Nordstrom to high-end luxury shops like Gucci & Chanel. We were there just a few months ago and it was just as fun and exciting as my first visit! Gang, there are so many stores here. Like crazy amounts (a few hundred). It's very large and easy to navigate and of course gets extremely busy during peak times. A must-visit for locals and tourists alike.

Shopping can be hit or miss, and on this particular day, it was definitely a miss. My friends and I…read moreare dedicated bargain shoppers, and despite our best efforts, the Houston Galleria wasn't giving up any deals. With only about an hour before leaving Houston, our shopping mission was more of a speed run than a leisurely browse. Even without scoring any purchases, the Houston Galleria remains an impressive destination. The moment you step inside, you experience bright lights, multiple levels of stores, and a steady stream of shoppers that create an energetic, bustling atmosphere. Beyond shopping, the mall offers entertainment options such as its iconic indoor ice-skating rink, making it easy to spend an entire day there. One of the Galleria's biggest strengths is its variety. Luxury retailers like Chanel and Louis Vuitton share space with more accessible brands such as Banana Republic and American Eagle, offering something for nearly every budget and style. Whether you're on a focused shopping mission or simply window-shopping, there's plenty to explore...even if, in our case, we left empty-handed. The dining options are equally diverse, ranging from food-court favorites to sit-down restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Shake Shack to Chic-fil-a. While we didn't find the bargains we were hoping for, our fast-and-furious shopping adventure was filled with laughter and great conversation, and the kind of fun that comes from spending time with good friends. Sometimes spending quality time with friends is the best find of all.

I always prefer TJ Maxx over Marshalls, even though that's under the same owner. It's nice to browse around and without getting bothered by anyone.

This is basically my neighborhood TJ Maxx, and I've shopped here on and off for years. To be…read morehonest, I think it has really gone downhill over the years, selection-wise and organization-wise. Nowadays, when I walk in, the sunglasses (a favorite purchase of mine) are nowhere to be found. I liked the sunglasses display when it was placed against the wall and it was easier to see the entire selection. Then, the sunglasses were moved to a vertical spinning display. And now, where exactly are the sunglasses?? Considering the fact I am also an accessories person, I found myself asking what's the deal with the wallet section? What happened to all the cool choices? Although I did like a couple of Anne Klein and Juicy Couture wallets, which I purchased recently, the other wallets were unremarkable and not on the level of past wallet options at this location. I do like the section with beauty items and soaps, but sometimes I've found the makeup is sometimes damaged by people who are eager to try the products. Clothing-wise, I think this location has been a disappointment lately, so I no longer care about looking for clothes here. So, what does that leave? The housewares section here is basic, but it is still possible to find something good - like picture frames, for example. And when you check out, sometimes the cashiers are really friendly and sometimes, you get a weird person with a subpar customer service disposition. I asked one cashier a question recently, and she answered. But she didn't answer my next question, and when I asked the same exact question again, she got an attitude. No Thank you! Improve this location, TJ Maxx folks, or I will be heading straight to Lazybrook/Timbergrove to visit the other TJ Maxx.

I went to Dillard's in the Galleria and wow! What a difference to shopping at Macy's for suit…read morepieces! I asked a male employee where I could find plus size apparel and was immediately directed to 3rd floor NW corner. Then I asked the clerk in that area for suits section and was shown what was available. The store didn't have a lot classic suits in stock there but they told me they could order for me or see if other stores had items. The clerk was super helpful and understood exactly that I needed a dark suit versus the light suits they had available there. I was also directed to the dress section, which had very nice conservative Calvin Klein dresses of which I purchased two. The clerk even reminded me of the 3 way mirror so I could get a good look and she was super helpful giving me her opinion when I asked about a dress. Unlike Macy's, which told me the plus size clothes was all over the women's section. I also bought spanx and was very happy with the service from the clerk in lingerie section. I had to buy an entire outfit so I also went to shoes section and was asked by various clerks if I needed assistance. I was greeted by a clerk who also spoke to me in Spanish and helped me look for the conservative classic pumps I needed. Finally I stopped at makeup particularly Lancôme and was immediately helped--Sónica was so sweet telling me I had a great complexion. I also asked for Mac makeup and she helped me look for my item and told me I could come in for a facial and foundation match. I will for sure be heading back when I have more time so I can have an updated makeup refresh. This experience at the Lancome counter was so much better than a previous poor experience years ago! Overall my shopping experience was great. The store was organized and the staff at every department were super helpful! I did spend quite a lot of money but I had a short amount of time to shop for a particular polished look (job interview) and everyone made it super efficient and were absolutely helpful! I will absolutely be going back to shop!

Shopping in Houston, Texas…read more.. I wanted to show my niece this fun, cool store! I had gone to a different location in Houston and got a boogie board for $5. My friend got some organizational room items like a shoe rack and cube system, too - at low prices! Five Below was introduced to me in Los Angeles by my friend, Jean L. She gave me good advice and I passed it on! We enjoyed the quirky t-shirts, cute plushies, large selection of techie stuff, awesome books, etc. Everything is priced $1, $5, $10, or so. Ezekiel was the most friendliest, efficient, and helpful worker! He guided us through the complex self-checkout process. The system was really challenging to me. (I'm not a techie person... Haha!) My niece agreed with me: I wish we had this store in Hawaii! I think Ezekiel would be the perfect person to open the new store! He would be a great team leader - I can imagine him training the new employees patiently! We hope that Five Below comes to Hawaii! My niece, my friend, and I really liked the merchandise, the set up, and the vibe here!
