Popped up to Acworth recently on the search for some nice dress pants for an event and of course…read moreKohl's is on the short list of places to swing through. This Kohl's is off to it's self and sits directly on Cobb Parkway. Parking is not an issue, as this Kohl's has this ginormous lot all to itself! So, if you don't find a parking spot, you didn't try at all. Like most Kohl's the store was well kept, organized and clean. Condition wise you could see the age of the store on the flooring, ceiling and in the dressing room, but it was just your normal wear and tear of a retail spot. Speaking of dressing rooms, that is the only place that was a little off, as it was piled with clothes that had not been ran back to the racks. Not sure if they hit it once a day, but if so...that makes for a long night for whoever gets that duty! I have noticed that Kohl's has dropped stock in Men's formal wear as they majority of the items available are flat colors and separates instead of patterned and sets. The sets don't bother me, but I did want a little pop in my slacks or jacket, but sadly could not find it at this location. Overall, I am a Kohl's fan and even have the credit card to prove it. I do not frequent this part of town, but when in need or in the area, this Kohl's is a solid spot to shop.

First visit was on Black Friday we were dreading it…read more We drove down from Denver NC (20 miles NW of Charlotte) to spend Thanksgiving with my Son's and their Families and to kick-off the Christmas Holidays. Stayed at the Hampton Inn in Kennesaw which is close to Town Centre Mall where we go each year (except last year because of Covid) for the Grandkids to meet Santa. My wife says she always forgets to pack something and when we got up the next morning (Black Friday) we discovered she forgot to pack my underwear or at the briefs. Time for a quick run to the store and when I asked her where she wanted to go, she said Kohl's since that is where the rest of my underwear came from. Quick search on Google and we found this store which was only about 5 miles away and also about 2 miles from Truist (formerly BB&T) which we also wanted to hit. Found it easily. Store was busy but not packed but for Black Friday, they had been open since 5am. Good selection and with six registers open, shopping was a breeze. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Not sure if they if they are like this the rest of the year but they sure made a great impression of one of the most hectic shopping days of the year. Very well organized and staffed.

June 3rd: Our experience at David's Bridal at the Kennesaw location in Georgia, did not go as…read moreexpected. My daughter, Emma, who bought a dress three years ago for a different ceremony, brought in the dress to try on and embellish so that she could wear it. Once she put the gown on, she burst into tears, saying "this is not my dress anymore". I then told her that we were standing in David's Bridal shop and that she should go and find her dress for this ceremony to a wonderful man. So we went onto the floor and had some help from a floor attendant who chose some dresses for Emma to try on. The first thing that I was very disappointed in was our dress attendant who was on her phone all the time while after Emma had stepped out of her dressing room to show the dress. Every photo that I wanted to take of Emma in a dress, there she was in the background on her phone, completely ignoring my daughter. To say that I was unimpressed is putting it mildly. If we ever go back to this particular David's Bridal shop, I will not ask for or work with this individual again. Once Emma found her gown, she loved it so much that she literally walked from the floor into alterations (we had back-to-back appointments so we had plenty of time) and this amazing woman in alterations (5 for her), sat on the floor and shortened the front of the gown so that Emma could walk down the aisle without tripping... Leaving the back of the gown with it's full length and quite beautiful. My dress for Emma's ceremony was also altered and we were given a date for Pick-Up on both gowns. July 11th: Emma and I arrived for final fittings and to pick up the gowns. Emma try on her gown, and the length was absolutely perfect. So we had the alterations team pack up the gown to travel. BTW... David's Bridal shop DOES NOT offer free gown bags for their wedding dresses. I tried on my dress, and without any help from anybody within their alterations(1 for today's team), but thanks to my my daughter, we looked over the dress and deemed it worthy to wear at her ceremony. We then had the alterations department pack up my dress so that we could bring it home. Now, maybe I have watched way too many "say yes to the dress" to think that every bridal shop would make sure that the dress was ready to walk down the aisle. So for me to make the assumption that Emma's wedding gown was ready for her to walk down the aisle in, I had not looked at it until today. When I opened the bag and hung up the dress, I noticed that the bodice was heavily jeweled on the left side, but barely had any jewels on the right side. There was also frayed tool around the lace appliqué that was not cleaned up, and there were threads that were hanging out pretty much all over the dress. Now, making sure that those threads were not going to hinder any of the stitching of the dress bodice, I proceeded to clean up the threads sticking out of the gown. I also cleaned up any of the tool that was stitched around the lace appliqué, again, making sure that it wasn't going to destroy any part of the lace, so that it didn't look "messy". It's a wonderful thing that I have, in my latter years, begun to make jewelry and rosaries. This craft allotted me a great deal of beads, jewels, gems, and pearls. I then proceeded to add identical beading to the right side of the bodice so that it would at least balance out with the left side of the bodice. (before and after photos attached) So I guess the moral of my story is this... Do not think that because you saw it on the TV, that your bridal shop will do their very best to make sure that the dress that you purchased is 100% ready to walk down the aisle. Make sure you go over the entire dress while you are still in the shop if possible... that is one mistake that I absolutely made. The positive side... I was able to add my own very special touch to my daughters wedding gown. The moment that she puts it on will be absolutely PRICELESS!!

I took a pair of blue jeans in to be altered and they were very kind as they were pinning the legs…read moreand waistband, assuring me there was nothing better than a great fitting pair of jeans. I went to the counter an they said: $150.00 - OK, for 1 pair??? yes ma'am but you will love them because they will fit you perfectly. I paid the $150.00 and they made me a pickup date for 30 day later - being the 9th of March. Today, I was so excited to pickup my "best fitting jeans ever" and when I put them on, they were as bad as when I left them there! I told the associate that these didn't even look like they had been altered at all! The seamstress came in and told me that the fabric is stretchy and she couldn't take them up anymore because of that --- well, that's a bunch of garbage because I also can sew, I just didn't want to do it myself and the fact that the fabric is stretchy had nothing to do with they didn't cut enough off and the jeans were still an inch too large on both legs; and why did it cost $150.00 to run 2 seams??? I told them it was a terrible job and I would NEVER be back there for any reason! I do not recommend them because they did not do what they said they were going to do ; and the amount they charged was out of this world as well as their time frame to get them back. The fact that they lied about their mistake of how much to remove to begin with. ALL IN ALL - JUST A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, TOO MUCH MONEY , AND TOO MUH TIME ---- I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!

This JCPenney is located at Town Center Mall and sits along the backside of the mall near the…read moreentrance along with other big clothes retailers such as Belk. We popped into this location on a Friday evening in search of formal wear (slacks, jacket) and arrived around 6:45 PM. We did not think anything of our arrival time, as the mall stays open until 9:00 PM...however five minutes into our shop and we hear that they are closing at 7:00 PM. We found it really bizarre and asked a staff member if it was a special closing for the night or their hours and all we got was "not special" and they walked off. Was the weirdest interaction...and was honestly rude. Given that we had things in our hands to try on and they were clearly in a rush to close, we simply shelved the clothes and hopped across the parking lot to Belk. I gave 2 stars for the brand and the fact that before leaving, we did find a few well priced items that would have been nice to purchase, but...oh well. I am usually a massive fan of JCPenney for my formal wear as they always have a good selection at decent prices, but next time I am in need, I will probably hit a few other spots first and have this particular location as a last resort in my search.

They had and still have great sales associates that will help you with anything that you may need. A few months ago I went to the Penny's by Northpoint mall with a friend and her daughter who was going to a school dance. She needed a dress that was age appropriate. We were able to find one for $40. So now she's super into this store which is great because they have great clothes for teens that aren't revealing or low cuts. They're nice quality too. They hold up in the wash well and don't shrink or fade after a couple of washes. Plus they're easy on the budget. Even though in the past few years they've struggled to compete with other retailers I do hope they make it.... 989th review 12/14/2017

On August 16, I went to Impression Bridal for my very first wedding dress appointment. I brought a…read moregroup of six with me, and the space was so spacious and welcoming. Every staff member was incredibly sweet, but my stylist Maggie truly stood out. I cannot recommend her enough! She was unbelievably helpful and never once pressured me to buy a dress that day. Nothing felt transactional or awkward, it genuinely felt like she cared about finding something that made me feel beautiful. She also pulled options that were actually in my price range ($1,500 and under), which I really appreciated. I also loved the variety they had. I was specifically looking for a boho, pink-toned dress (I didn't want the classic ivory!), and they had such a wide range of unique options that still fit my vibe perfectly. The VERY last dress I tried on was an "as-is" sample dress... and I fell in love. It fit me like a glove, and I felt so confident the second I put it on. The whole experience was so positive, and I'm so grateful for everyone who helped me. I genuinely couldn't recommend Impression Bridal more. (I'll update the review with a full photo of my dress after my wedding in Nov 2026!!!)

I recently purchased my wedding dress from Impressions Bridal ATL. The consultant , Ariannah, who…read moreinitially helped me was very sweet and attentive. She listened to what I wanted and actually pulled the very first dress I tried on , which ended up being the one. I truly appreciated her ability to understand my vision. However, the overall experience felt mixed. I was excited about finally finding my dress after searching all month but the customer service once payments were discussed were terrible. While I did receive a 10% same-day discount, when my mom asked about any additional pricing considerations, the response from management , which her name was ANNIE, felt dismissive and slightly uncomfortable in tone. Even if additional price considerations weren't possible, the delivery matters during such a special moment. I also expected a bit more celebration after saying yes to the dress. There were bells in the store that are rung for other brides, but that didn't happen for me. We were directed to a backdrop to take our own photos after I had to ask about instead of being guided through the experience, and while staff did eventually come to take some, the energy felt nonchalant rather than celebratory. As a bride, you hope to feel a little more special in that moment. Additionally, I wish there were more size-inclusive sample options available to better visualize the fit. Overall, I love the dress I chose and am excited to wear it, but I hope future brides receive a more consistent and celebratory experience from start to finish and not like they are just a number. Other bridal shops were excited and welcoming from start to finish without me even buying my dress from them. After making such a large purchase you want to feel appreciated by the business and that was not the experience at the Kennesaw location. If you are a bride this place is great if you want a lot of options but don't expected to feel welcomed or celebrated if you find your dress. This location really needs to consider who they put into management. There is a picture of Annie that I wish I could upload but I can't but in the picture you can see her body language says all you need to know about her customer service as she looks over at me.
