I stopped in yesterday out of curiosity. Guess has become increasingly wack since the mid 2000s…read moreand I was curious as to why they have the entrance cordoned off. As I approached the entrance, I was greeted by security and was granted entry. Aesthetically, the interior is surprisingly pleasing to the eye. The store is well kept and organized but it smelled like a box crayons. I think it's due to the materials used to make the clothing items. Lots of elastic and rayon. The "jeans" were thin and had lots of stretch to them. Cheap. My preference is 100% cotton for jeans. I have guess clothing from the early 1990s that I still wear today. 100% cotton and made in the USA. The quality is better than anything being made by Guess in 2025. Overall, today's Guess isn't for me. I can see teenagers shopping there. Today's Guess gives Forever21 meets Rave, Contempo and ClothesTime. Store security was nice and professional.

It literally just opened and there are only 2-3 other customers inside. Zero explanations. But I'm guessing we don't fit the right criteria of the customers they serve. They're very discriminatory.

I revisited this store over the holidays after a 6-7 year of not. I'm not a huge fashion or shopping guy but over my adult years and knowing my sizes and fits, I just became loyal to certain brands that fit me well or have good luck finding my sizes and styles. Banana Rep is one brand that fills such mold. It just fits my basic taste and their sizings fits my particular body without any altering. I also find the fabric textures to be soothing yet sturdy. I heard Banana Republic is part of the GAP corportation, with Old Navy being the economic level, the Gap being the middle tier and Banana Republic being the higher tier. It always made sense to me. I like this location as it super convenient, the closest to me. It is also less busy as say the Livermore location which can get super tight inside. And on a weekday, this place is super conducive for me, very chill with easy parking. Now outlet shopping can be hit or miss. Sometimes you'll find something nice with a nice pricetag in tow, whilst other times you may find nothing. It's part of the hunt and fun. But I like to get a couple of things occasionally to keep the wardrobe fresh and tight. And this Banana Republic can be a part of that occasion. Giving a long due shout out.

We came here the week before Christmas and everything minus the sunglasses and cologne was 50% off…read more That's a good price considering. Their starting price is way out of my price range. The 50% off helps a lot. I still didn't find anything that caught my eye that was at a price I was willing to pay. They had some nice dresses and evening wear mostly for the New Years Celebrations. I also saw some pretty sweaters. We were mostly coming for my husband. He really likes Banana Republic. We found a pair of pants for his nephew that were comfy and actually fit him. He's got a very tiny waist so it's not easy to shop for him. Most of the pants didn't come in his size, but we found a pair that he approved of. We got it for him for Christmas and he was very happy with them. The store is well organized and is easy to decipher the men's versus women's sections. They even had suits for men. Full on suits, matching slacks and jackets, not just sports coats. They must be competing with Men's Warehouse next door. I was really surprised by finding a suit, the only issue is they don't do tailoring in store so you'd have to find a private Tailor. Returns are easy and quick. Even with it being the holidays the line goes really quick with two registers open. We bought a shirt for my other nephew that we thought he'd like and 50% off was a good deal. We bought it and then went next door to Nordstrom Rack. While at the Rack we found an even better shirt for him so while in line at the Rack we returned the one at Banana Republic and was in and out in a flash. On the other hand the line at the Rack was to the back of the store. So if you are on a time crunch this is the store for you.

I'm an Ann Taylor lady and she can be pricey. Major score!! My son is simple. He loves to wear sweats. I feel this is a suitable place for him to get them at a reasonable price point. The store can be a bit unorganized so it's not my top choice to stop in for clothing. Home decor, bedding and hair care products that are brand name is more so the reason I'd come here. Glad I was able to knock out school clothes shopping for my son without going to many places and spending hours looking. It's been a great shopping trip.

I haven't…read moreshopped for new clothes in a long time, and when I do, I almost exclusively shop online, but I needed some new items in a pinch, and decided to try the factory store, as I did not want to spend a lot. As it is a factory store, I expected substantially lower prices than the regular Ann Taylor retail stores, so I was rather surprised to find that prices are still quite high here as well. Ummmm, what's the point of a factory store then? I may as well go to the regular store. The store is organized well, neat, and clean, so that's great. The antithesis of the Nordstrom Rack in the same plaza, which I also checked out. The Rack was a disaster. Completely overwhelming, with a huge stock laid out in a very poorly organized fashion. I gave up on that place after a few minutes. But back to Ann Taylor. I found a pair of trousers I liked, and ended up purchasing, but nothing else. There was nothing appealing whatsoever amongst the tops. Unflattering, baggy styles that instantly add 20lbs, way too many ugly, distracting patterns, etc. Who is designing these clothes, seriously? Can I have their job? I'm no expert, but I'm sure I could do better than this. My partner also commented that the designs were fugly, adding "and I'm a dude, I don't know anything about fashion." The staff were courteous and professional, the main reason I'm rounding up to three stars.

Check yourself at the door, jeez. The staff is on top of their organization and set up. The aisles are a decent size, except the clothing section. I do wish there was more room to walk around others. Otherwise, the prices are great and selection is best during the week. Pro tip: Don't park in-front of the store, unless you're Roman Reigns & ready to rumble. Drivers that are exiting almost always get hit or honked at because everyone seems to be in a race. Park in the area by the trees.
