MAN does it pain me to write this review. I've had a love affair with Von Maur for over a decade…read more And boy, oh boy do I miss my random shopping getaways pre-pandemic. It has been my go-to for formal wear, Iowa Hawkeye gear, shoes, accessories, swimwear and more over the years. But this summer they changed their return policy. I think a lot of it is pretty standard... - Return within 90 days with a receipt: Receive purchase price back to original form of payment - Return after 90 days with receipt or anytime with a gift receipt: Receive purchase price as merchandise credit only. - Return without a receipt: Receive current selling price as merchandise credit only. My issue with this change is with their new FINAL SALE policy. - They cut the tags off your brand new items to ensure you can't return them. Therefore my newly purchased, never worn item that I just so happened to score a great deal on... looks not new. Possible pre-owned. What if I planned to gift someone that item? Don't they deserve to know it hasn't been worn and is right off the rack? (Or in my case, I got a supposedly unworn bikini without any tags... which was unexpected. And kind of weirded me out.) If you need to scribble on the tag, over the barcode-- go for it. But I go to Von Maur for the experience and the unique items sold there. It is tacky and off brand to send new items sans tag. (And when I contacted customer service to express my opinion about said two piece. I was basically shrugged off.) I buy plenty of thrift items for myself and even they include a tag... just sayin. This would be a two star, just because of how I feel about the new changes. But I still stand by Von Maur as a quality store. This change may stop me from getting certain items here now. (#shopsmall, #shoplocal) But it shouldn't deter you from getting full-priced items here!

A plus, however, is its groceries. I find them to be well stocked and at a great price. Additionally, online ordering via the app for pickup is a great option that is very well executed. (Be sure to check your wallet for additional savings!) This used to be my go-to for after holiday discount shopping but I avoid it now, as it's typically very picked over and just not worth the crowd.

The better half and I frequent Coral Ridge Mall weekly. From hunting deals at Marshall's, looking…read moreat overpriced items at Scheels, getting our steps in as we walk the halls, catching a movie at the theater, or grabbing a bite to eat at the food court, the Mall can scratch just about every itch! There is a pretty wide selection of stores available here, and the tenants all seem to be doing pretty well (which seems to be more rare nowadays). Out of towners with children looking for activities would be well-served by paying Coral Ridge a visit!

In short, male assistant argued with me about a sale price. He was rude and firm. He continued to…read moreargue with me.

I found the same item on line for even less than my complimentary apology.

I do like JC Penney, especially since I've returned to working in a business-casual environment…read more Something is always on sale, but with that comes inventory that's really picked over; at least in my case. I either wear a very common size, or they only receive 2 of my size per style to begin with and don't restock very often. JC Penney has a petites section, which I take advantage of. I have shorts legs and very large thighs, so this department is a saving grace. Again, sizes can really be picked over if you're a 6-8. I find this to be the case at the Edgewood Rd. location in nearby Cedar Rapids, too. I visited the location at Coral Ridge Mall today for undergarments. Specifically, shapewear. Very picked over in this area, but I did find something that will work. Finding an open dressing room was another story. Most of them are closed, so you might have to wait to try things on. Customer service has always been outstanding here, albeit hard pushes for their credit card. Today I was asked twice about saving 30%. I finally had to respond by saying, "I don't use credit cards." I know employees are only doing their job, but saying 'no' once is all it should take. Store is typically clean and tidy, at least through the week when I shop. Merchandising hasn't changed at the Coral Ridge Mall location since my visit a month ago. Displays and inventory all looked the same. Nothing new caught my eye in the women's clothing departments. It appears that once they've stocked for the season, that's it. I spent several years in retail, so maybe this is just more noticeable to me. A do have a complaint as far as a company policy is concerned: any rebates you earn (say around Black Friday) are given to you via a Visa debit card. These Visa cards have a very short period of time in which they can be used. I received a rebate card of $10 in December and the card expired in June of 2022. 6 months is not long.

So you better believe we stock up when we come here! This year, we happened to be in Iowa City during Black Friday and we decided to brave the crowds and go to Costco. To our surprise, it was not as chaotic and crowded as we thought it would be. I'd say it was a typical crowd that you would see on a Sunday, maybe a tad more shoppers. We stocked up on all of our essentials in preparation for the winter season and now our fridge and pantry are well filled. We even snagged a box of 24 cans of Spindrift for $9.99 which is absolutely the best deal we've seen for Spindrift. We also got a huge cut of New York strip steak for $7.99 per lb which will last us for months! All in all, this Costco is well stocked, well organized, and clean. The lines move pretty quickly, especially since they have a self-checkout and regular check out line. Service is efficient and there is a covered parking lot with lots of parking spaces. We are happy with our haul and will be back the next time we're in the city :)

I came to this Walmart because it has a nice selection of Iowa Hawkeye branded merchandise and at prices that are a little more reasonable than the official University of Iowa stories. It's all licensed at Walmart and the selection is more limited. But if you need something relatively straightforward, this is your place. I picked up an SUI item and while I was there, the stationary and minor hardware sections beckoned me further into the store. I was pleased that I didn't take too much time here, and I was back on the road relatively quickly.

How have I never reviewed Scheels?…read more I am grateful to have this location. With two kiddos that are active in a lot of sports, Scheels has come to the rescue a time or two. (Specifically, when I realized my son didn't have an adequate batting helmet for baseball mere hours before his first game of the season. I was able to order online and pickup no problem. He is insanely proud of his golden helmet, might I add.) This location expanded during the pandemic and has a ton! Hunting, biking, fishing, skiing,... a robust Iowa Hawkeye apparel section... shoes, apparel-- you name it! Honestly, my favorite spot to shop Scheels is online. I got some amazing Fornia clothes on clearance. My blazer I got is legit one of my favorite things and I spent less than $10-- what a steal! I also got some great Mud Pie Christmas decor super cheap online. It's open daily, parking is a non-issue. Staff is always so friendly and knowledgable. As I mentioned above, don't forget to order online easily for pickup.

Shopping at Windsor today, 5 pm on a Saturday and experienced the worst customer service ever…read more There was a very long wait for the fitting rooms, we waited for twenty minutes and were halfway to fitting rooms when their employee started scolding the entire store like we were misbehaving children- she yelled for everyone to hear, stating we all lost privileges to the fitting rooms because people aren't picking up after themselves so fitting rooms were closed. Many people mentioned how long they've been waiting as well as the fact people were polite in line and again were told we all lost our privileges to a fitting room and if we don't like it we can leave- exactly what was done not only losing a lot of business today but future sales as well. Looking at Google reviews this is a huge trend of this store so I question if it's policy and acceptable since it is a long standing complaint but its terrible business. There are too many options of where to spend our hard earned money to do so at a place that treats customers so terrible- fitting rooms aren't a privilege, it's a must prior to people handing over their hard earned money for your merchandise. I will never return or reccomend abd hoping to save someone the frustration we went through wasting our time in this store today.
