Leela & Lavender is in the Arbor Lakes shopping mall. The inside of the store is very clean and…read moreorganized. I have been in here a few times but staff don't approach to greet or offer assistance. There is a large variety of clothing items and the sales floor is easy to shop. There was a ladies night event advertised on their social media which mentioned giveaways but when asked about them the salesclerk confirmed there were none. The store has frequent sales or discounts. They do offer private shopping parties in which the hostess receives a 40% discount and guests get 20% off.

Unfortunately I will not come back to this store. I love the clothes however, I've not had the best…read moreexperiences. I've been to the store numerous times, I've never been greeted or ask if I needed help. When I've asked for help finding a size, I was made to feel like I was putting the staff out.

Make sure when you make a purchase you check your bags before leaving because they do have someone…read moreat the register that is very slick and sneaky and she takes things and acts like she's putting them in your bag and she doesn't I bought four pair of shoes and four pair of shoes was on my receipt. I got home and I didn't check my things right away. The next day when I checked I only had three pair of shoes with 3 boxes. I called. And spoke to someone that claimed to be a manager they said they would investigate the situation. They claimed to have check cameras, and they claimed that the shoes were in the bag, but the shoes never made it home with me. I'm a professional medical provider I have two twin boys, a husband there is no other female in the house and I know what I saw and how this person was acting at the register. Just make sure you check your items before leaving this store! Especially when you have someone that's bagging your stuff on the ground versus on the countertop!

Visiting Nordstrom's Racks sometimes feel like a treasure hunt. You never know if you're going to…read morefind that designer bag or shoes for 80% off or if all you're going to find is the Nordstrom rack brand items. That's what makes it fun! The Rack in Maple Grove is decent sized and well laid out. They tend to have a bit of a smaller selection of the higher end designers that you can find at the Mall of America Nordstrom rack but still a decent variety. They carry women's, men's, children's, shoes, accessories and home goods. Parking is plentiful but the traffic flow is a little tricky directing you right into the first row. That row gets 100% of incoming traffic so I'd recommend parking one or two over. Customer service here is always good. While you are kind of on your own to hunt the racks (if you want a personalized shopping experience head to the actual Nordstrom's) the employees always seem to be in a good mood and helpful when checking out. Dressing rooms are always clean and they have plenty of spaces to try on items. It helps when people return unwanted items to the return racks so do your part and don't leave them in the room. Overall I think visiting this location is fun and I rarely leave empty handed!

I have to say that I am pretty surprised by the low reviews. I have sold here and shop here…read moreregularly and I've never had an issue with the employees or cleanliness. It seems like they work hard to keep the store clean and organized and I would say they have been really reasonable with their buys from me. There have been times when they bought items that I thought they would skip. They select based on what the store is low on, which makes total sense!! I guess sometimes the employees can be a bit standoffish sometimes but most of them are teenagers and they are very quick to ring you up or get you a dressing room. I also want to add that this is the most reasonably priced Platos that I've been to. Love it!

I forgot no fat people in Maple Grove. Maybe some at Costco. I snagged a pair of shorts on sale in a LG. I wear shorts like that around the house and am determined to fit in them in August. The stretchiest ones I could find and they're cute. Everything here is cute for the young things. It better be it's just a couple of doors down from the Gap. The summer sale is on for 30% off. The sale stuff is mixed in with the new items making it a royal pain in the ass to use the coupon. I'll do that in Stillwater. The service from Heather was great. I'm just not a fan of this location, but don't let it deter you if you're in the area.

This place is awesome for 40+ women who want to feel sexy and stylin' but are *so* over the body-squeezing, flaw-showing, tight-tight-tight clothes that you so often find when you want sexy and stylin'. My mom was in need of a serious style makeover--stuck in the mom-and-grandma rut of sweatshirts and wearing-out flannel. We took her to Chico's and the staff was absolutely great. They're more than willing to give style guidance without being pushy OR falsely-flattering. My mom now has a quintessential Little Black Dress (at age 62, this is her first). She looks fabulous and beautiful in it. (I'm so proud!) Chico's has fun, flirty and relatively modest (we did find my mom a "church-cleavage" shirt...rawr!) clothing for older women that doesn't veer into matronly. It's more boutique-like, so the selection isn't so overwhelmingly huge that it's impossible to make a decision (this, ehem, might be an issue in our family). We got mom a gift certificate for her birthday, so I guess another shopping trip will be in order soon.
