Never been a frequent customer of Dillards .. all the years that I have either... Lived in…read moreFlorida... or... visited Florida... Dillards has never been on the top of my shopping list. There CAN be some deals. Sometimes. Many times there are no deals. Housewares, Linens, Luggage, Tableware are all overpriced and sitting at the top of that range that should be charged for these items. You can get many comparable and exact same items elsewhere for much cheaper. Shoes? Very well priced especially for their sale racks. Handbags? Some cute some very well priced and some in the stratosphere. Dillards actually caries real Luis Vuitton handbags and luggage but.... I am not an LV consumer. Clothes... great when there are sales. You have to watch for deals, coupons and price slashing before during and after holidays. I was just recently very successful with the purchase of a makeup bag that is perfect for my trip coming up. Normally I wouldn't pay $48.00 actually $52.00 for a makeup bag but I believe I will keep this one for quite some time. The lady that helped me in the cosmetics section kept me in her "sights" while I was shopping around the entire store... she didn't want to miss getting credit for my purchase. I liked her though... we had a laugh or two.

The sales people are very nice and helpful but can be a little pushy. The store looks organized and…read morethey do offer some nice lines but my issue with them is that they are overpriced, it's a big deal to get things price matched and several times I bought products off the shelves and they were very expired and not usable so I had to return them. I find Macys is also better for fragrances too.

On the evening of Thursday, April 23, my son and I were sitting having dinner in the food court of…read morethe paddock mall. We were approached by a woman and what I would describe as a small uniform who mumbled something to us, which we couldn't quite understand. She walked on and we continued eating. A short time later, a man wearing the same uniform approach and said rather rudely "Didn't she tell you to move. This section is closed." I asked how I was supposed to know that, and was pointed to some collection of ropes that apparently blocked off one side of the food court, and told "common sense" in a very condescending tone e. We got up and moved, frustrated by the incredibly rude treatment. In this time of reduced foot, traffic and shopping malls, I cannot believe that the Management would want staff to treat customers so rudely. Based on this, I assure you, I will never return to this particular mall. I expect it will probably be closed and turned into a storage facility or something similar in the near future. Well deserved.

They have stores from all categories such as Nordstrom, Anthropology, Dick's Sporting Goods, and more! The stores are a bit more on the expensive side because it's not an outlet but it is very nice. Highly recommend to anyone!

So many of the one star reviews here seem a bit ridiculous and sketchy to me…read more My experience at this TJ Maxx was the total opposite as I dropped in to look for some athletic active wear for working out in. Found exactly what I was looking for at a great price. Easy check out with the friendly register staff. This location is bright, clean, and well organized. Plenty of assorted merchandise from clothes to housewares. As with these types of stores its all hit or miss, but that's the fun part of the hunt. Scour the racks and hope to hit a jackpot. Plus, make sure of the return policy and keep your receipts handy. I've never had a problem with returns at TJ Maxx.

Exceptional Customer Service…read more Sean, the store manager, provided 10/10 customer service and was absolutely amazing! I shop at EXPRESS often, and after this experience, I will definitely be returning to this location. I originally came in to make a return, but because Sean made the process so easy and pleasant, I ended up doing an exchange and purchasing additional clothing. He was consistently friendly, helpful, and smiling throughout the entire experience. In all my years of shopping at EXPRESS, I have never received customer service quite like this--Sean truly went above and beyond. Thank you, Sean, for your outstanding customer service, positive attitude, and genuine willingness to help customers. You are truly an asset to EXPRESS and an excellent example of what exceptional customer service should look like!

If you're looking for a typical mall experience on steroids, the Florida Mall is the way to go…read more I've never disliked this mall, but it definitely has a different feel than other local shopping centers. It is filled with tourists due to the connected hotel and proximity to the airport, so even on a Tuesday it felt packed in here. The layout feels almost like a labyrinth but there is a lot of signage on where to go. Most of the stores are ones you can find at most malls, but there are quite a bit of 'unique' stores as well. You've also got the Crayola experience, which is pretty large. While this mall wouldn't be my first choice to go to, it does do the trick if you're needing your fix of big name stores.

The store…read moreis well-decorated with the updated outfits;it's CLEAN and the employees are super friendly and helpful. Recently I was there and stayed over an hour trying on outfits. They had 40%off everything and then special racks with an additional 50% off. There was even a rack with every item at $9.98. I found so many great buys for my vacation. I was able to purchase quality matching earrings for $10 as well. The best part is customer service. If you ever have a problem call and talk to the assistant manager Kristine. I had a big purchase yesterday but the clerk forgot to put the receipt in my bag. I called and talked to Kristine. She found the receipt and will make sure it gets to me! She was so helpful and patient. Love employees like that. I will continue to shop here and I hope they keep up with their superb service and great buys. Thank you Ocala Chico's Off the Rack! We need you in THE VILLAGES FL in 32163 zip code!

Holy heck! this is supposed to be an "outlet" store? Jeans are $89.00. What's going on with that?…read moreThe store is small and , not a lot of room to really look at the clothes because they are all jammed together.

And the clothes are made in China!

I said I'm looking for science books any non-fiction books, she speaks to me really loud, all books on science are non-fiction, I'm like What the heck was that about. So she directs me to the shelf of science books, and she's like what am I looking for, in a very rude loud tone, I said I'll find it, she leaves, then I go outside to get my phone to find the Barnes noble website I marked, I come back in I use the kiosk monitor thing to look up a title, to see if it's in store, and her friend another angry rude mean employee, is like NO SIR!!! That's for employees only, like I'm breaking the sacred Barnes noble book law, looking up a book on a kiosk. Overall I did not buy any books I will not buy any books from this Barnes noble or any Barnes noble ever. Lousy experience. Lousy service. The employee at Barnes noble made me feel sad and angry. That's how I left.

Out with the old, in with the new. Gabe's has officially opened up in the former Old Time Pottery…read morespace in Ocoee. I believe this is the 5th location here in Florida. I had never heard of Gabe's until they took over this spot but they have been around since the 60's and started in West Virginia. They have locations throughout Eastern US and acquired Old Time Pottery a couple of years ago. You will notice many items with Old Time Pottery labeling which is a little confusing. The store feels massive inside, even though it is likely the same square footage as OTP. You can view all 4 walls walking in. Overall, it reminded me of a Ross crossed with a Walmart but cheaper. They have a variety of departments at inexpensive prices. Shoes, clothing, indoor and outdoor home decor, kitchen, household organization, rugs, pet supplies, electronics and toys. They also had name brand items like Nike and Ryka at very low prices. It's a bit overwhelming because it is so massive but I appreciate the variety all in one store. Staff could not be found anywhere on the floor so if you have questions, you likely need to go to the checkout area. I didn't buy anything today so not sure how efficient the checkout lanes are but plan to come back when I have more time.

Gabe's is a new retail chain that bought Old Time Pottery and recently converted some OTP Florida…read morelocations into Gabe's. It is a large retail outlet similar to Marshall's, Ross or Beall's Home Centric. They have great prices and carry closeouts from many other retail chains. The Orlando area location is Ocoee which is at the corner of West Colonial and Maguire road. Just a few blocks off the SR 50 exit on the FL Turnpike. I noticed brands from Kohl's, Target, Loft, Ann Taylor, Lucky's, Bebe, Lands End, Lane Bryant, Banana Republic, Gap and many others carried by Ross and Marshall's. The brand names on tags are sometimes blacked out or the brand name may be cut out of the tag. I did see Adidas, Reebok and Avis but I did not see designer brands. They have many departments in this store. Clothing, luggage, purses, shoes, accessories and some personal care. Bed and bath, home decor, patio, kitchen, rugs and food items. They have clearance signs in all departments. They have a good rewards program called 'unbelievable Rewards.' Gabe's is discontinuing their text program in Sept 2025 however customers can get alerts and deals through the Gabe's app. I would recommend signing up for rewards beforehand or at the register checkout. You get 25 points for signing up and every $50 in points generates a $5 coupon. Coupons expire in 30 days. Coupons can be used towards clearance merchandise. The service was friendly both on the sales floor and at checkout. I purchased Vera Wang, Croft and Barrow, Loft, Bandolino, Land and Sea, A New Day (Target), Banana Republic and Hanes multipacks. 6 tops, two pants and two intimates for $40. I earned a $5 coupon on my first shopping trip. Positives: Price Selection Rewards are easy to earn Friendly staff and easy parking Fun for bargain shoppers The rug department they had tables where you can unroll rugs to examine them. Cons: This is an outlet so the racks and displays lend themselves to a little digging Rewards coupons are limited to 30 a year but 30 times 50 is a 1500 spend 3 try on rooms per gender
