Swung by here quickly to grab a pair of shoes for my son, but ended up getting him a pair of slides and myself a nice pair of sneakers for $25! The sales they are having right now is unbeatable! Some sneakers are only $4 but they have one size of each in those. However it's not the sales that stood out for me it was the helpfulness of the employee I worked with!
Usually when I walk into a place like this I get a little intimidated because I don't know much about the brands or the sizes or how the shoes run/ but I've been on a sneaker kick lately thanks to my increase in my workouts!
So what was a pleasant surprise is that I was greeted immediately and helped right away- which was surprising because every time I walk into an EbLens in Rhode Island.- the staff barely make eye contact? let alone offer to help you! I've walked out of other Eb lens locations due to the rudeness of staff so this was refreshing!
So I ended up spending around $70 total and got a new pair of sneakers, new pair of slides and a 6 pack of rainbow colored socks! SCORE! That's usually half of what I pay for a regular pair of sneakers for myself! So I was pretty enthusiastic!
Overall this store is definitely experiencing issues with trucking/shipping because their inventory was extremely low in all areas! Men's, women's , and the children's shoe section was lacking overall! However they have a ton of clothing with some really good deals. I noticed the sales prices on clothing were for men, women, and children.
Some of the brands this store sells includes: Timbaland, Nike, Puma, Reebok, Adidas, Crocs, Jordan, Fila, Ralph Lauren POLO, Champion, Hunter Boots, Nickelodeon, True Religion, & so much more I can't remember! But there are a lot of high end brands that I didn't realize they even carried!
If you asked me about the past few years regarding Eb Lens- I'd recommend you look elsewhere but if you live near Willimantic- this place is definitely worth checking out! read more
