Seems like a lot of over priced cheap offshore goods. The staff seems a bit stuck up, I mean really, you're a clerk in a clothing store.

Completely unexpected find while visiting, exceeded my expectations, met my needs (and wants) - all with extremely friendly service. In town for a conference my boyfriend was attending for a quick 24 hours. I have a National Sales Meeting next week and needed some new work pieces - work attire for the day and a formal cocktail event for one of the nights. I found all of that as well as some every staple wardrobe pieces that should last me for years and years to come. Everything I got was gorgeous quality and absolutely beautiful on. They carry a beautiful Italian line, Perserico, that has dream cashmere pieces (I got some sweaters and a beautiful a line skirt). One of the dresses was Badgley Mischka and the other was Polo, both cocktail worthy. They carry Hudson jeans. They have their own custom pieces as well. I can't even begin to explain how gorgeous the coat I decided on is. Shoes- I got a pair of their custom tennis shoes that are just beautiful and have a thick soul, ribbon laces and just the right amount of everything. They carry Cole Haan as well and may have picked up a pair of those as well... or two. Anyways, you get the point. Gorgeous pieces that are just classic and quality. Owners, Deborah & Vaughn, were a delight and so helpful and the person that helped me through everything while I pondered over all my choices, re-tried on everything to make sure I absolutely loved everything I walked away with was Travis! So much patience, so much help and just all around great customer service. I didn't catch the seamstresses name but she was a sweetheart as well. Thank you to the Granger Owings family! I loved that you were a one stop shop for everything I needed! read more

Packing ties for this particular business trip somehow slipped my mind. Of course, I didn't realize this until everything was closed, the night before my morning meeting. I walk past this place every day to and from the client but had never gone in. I decided to do a little research and find out what time they opened in the am. Unfortunately they didn't open until 9 am, which is of course, the same time as my meeting. I needed the chips to fall my way and like, right now. So, based on the one Yelp review of Granger Owings by Jordan C., I figured, even though it's 10 minutes to 8 in the am, these people were clearly customer service driven back in 2K11, maybe there's an outside chance someone is there, will actually answer the phone and open early for me, even though they don't open for another hour and change. Of course, I'm expecting no one to answer. To be honest, I was a little startled when Jordan answered on the first ring as if they'd been open all day. I explained to her my situation and asked if there was any way they could open early so that I could purchase a couple of ties before my 9am meeting. You already know what the answer was, or this rant of mine would be pointless.... I called back when I got out front as Jordan suggested, they opened the doors and my guy Jimmy took care of the rest. Got to the client by 8:30 (remarkably earlier than I usually get there). This may be the best customer service experience I've ever had. Needless to say, they have earned a customer for life. Thanks to everyone at Granger Owings for being awesome. read more

Granger Owings - Best of Class tie by Robert Talbott - Shoe Stores Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

True Story. I was in Columbia, SC last week for a business meeting. As I was getting dressed in the morning I noticed the stitching on my belt was coming apart. It was definitely noticeable and it looked less than professional. Conveniently, I noticed Granger Owings during my lunch break and made my way over to get a new brown belt. I walked in the store and was immediately greeted by Vaughn, a sales associate. Vaughn showed me their limited selection of brown belts and apologized for not having more in stock. Apparently, they were waiting on a shipment. No more belts, no problem. Vaughn took off his own belt and gave it to me. Are you kidding me!!!! At first I refused to take his belt, but Vaughn insisted and blamed their store for not having more belts in stock. AND, ladies and gentlemen ... that is why I LOVE the south. Not a chance you will find a Vaughn north of the Mason-Dixon line. Thanks Vaughn. You have earned my appreciation and business for life. read more

So I am going to give you the short and sweet version followed by the those who care version. Pros: Has great customer service (except owner) Great pricing suits are VERY breathable Cons: Manager very disrespectful Quality of suits are rubbish Will lie to you to get the sale If you rent they could care less about you as a customer They don't have a wide color selection They aren't punctual on their "arrival dates" Avoids conflict Doesn't take responsibility for their faults. Found them at a bridal expo, and their prices were great! $160 for a full suit get up is very nicely priced compared to the competitors I had shopped. I had two requirements: Must the bridesmaids dresses and carry women's suits. They lied about both. They do not carry women's fits (they told me a week before my wedding) and they didn't come CLOSE to matching the dresses (we told them we would get the vest elsewhere but they ASSURED me they had a perfect match). They continued to argue saying it was an exact match. I gave them color splotches, and even compared them directly to the dress. Though, blatantly opposite he said, "They are perfect for what we have." And there you have it. For what they HAD. I asked for perfect match, not for what they had. The sizing of the suits were a nightmare. I went in and got everyone sized and not one persons suit came back correctly. My jacket was too short, 2 of my groomsmen shirts were WAY too big. Another groomsmen pants were about 5 inches too short. Both myself and a different groomsmen had buttons fall off as we were dressing, mine in the middle of my ceremony! They didn't give us the right tie set up. Two best men had bow-ties in petal, and the rest of the groomsmen had long ties in mint. I got one hot pink bow-tie and the rest a pistachio long tie. Granted, when I called they drove out to our wedding location (about 40 minutes away) to deliver the "right" ties and they were still not the right color but at least they were on the same pallet at that point. At this point, I'm beyond frustrated. it is 2 hours before I'm going to be married and all I can think about is how nothing is going to match, and 1/3rd of our jackets wont be able to button, and another 1/3rd cant take off their jackets because their shirts are that huge (luckily it was cold that day). Before this happened, they were always 3-5 business days behind schedule. I didn't even get to try on my suit until the DAY BEFORE the wedding! It was honestly a miracle that we even got suits at all. David, my go to guy was VERY committed to doing everything he could to try and make it right, and whereas I appreciate that, they shouldn't have had to be fixed in the first place. He should've told me the truth from the start and we would've saved ourselves a LOT of heartache. Now, giving him the benefit of the doubt I asked to sit down with him and a manager to figure out where the miscommunication lied. They canceled on me twice, David and the owner Vaughn. Eventually after he sent my a text message telling me to call him back (who text in a professional business?) I called him back leaving him a voicemail telling him to call me so we can talk. The next day passed and I called to make sure we were still on for our meeting. no answer. The store (David) said, "sorry we are going to have to cancel, he will call you tomorrow." The next day he (Vaughn. The Owner. Of the company. You think he would have some respect and decency, yes?) called me and from the start was very rude and abrasive. Wouldn't let me get a sentence out before interrupting me. Kept telling me that it was my fault for not checking all of the suits properly, and because I rented, I have no right to complain. Told me unless I had a real issue I wanted to talk about, the conversation was done. Trying to express that I wanted to meet with him, he interrupted me and said, "the problem is you. I've been in business for 40 years and no one has ever complained." ... Seriously Vaughn? Then He proceeded to hang up on me stating never to contact him again. Am following up with the BBB. read more
