They mostly sell clothes and accessories and it's a decent amount of product to check out. I did find a cute journal that I know my friend would love but when I picked it up it had some kind of liquid on the bottom which was gross. Parking is usually pretty rough at this strip mall but they do have a back lot as well and usually a bit more luck taking that route. One of the cashiers here was taking her sweet time ringing up a customer and the vibe was very weird with her mean mugging everyone. At one point another staff member was walking up and asked her "why are you looking at me like that". So yeah, there's that.

I love how everything is color coded and wish more stores would organize like this. Every employee I encountered was very friendly and helpful. I did notice that they were diligently interactive with me after I picked up a $100 blouse- as they should be on a busy Saturday! But I really appreciated the small talk and direction from Randie, who gave me the brief on where to find everything, and the brief on the sister store Nextdoor. This store is a bit out of my way, but now knowing what they carry I definitely see myself returning here when I am feeling like I want to treat myself. As I am someone who prides in ensuring clothes don't go to landfill and trying to reuse or recycle as much as I can (I shop thrift a lot) I was very pleased to see that they take overflow items from designers. My only bummers were when I got home, the nice gentleman at the register unfortunately left one of the security tags on a sweater, leaving me to figure out how to break it off. It happens, but gosh dang! And then the same sweater had a bit of a small but obvious stain on it. And while I know it's already deeply discounted, it wasn't in the clearance section. So when I asked if they might consider anything additional on the top, he kindly explained how the store handles stuff like this and that basically there is a waiting period of it doesn't sell. Odd, but I'm sure it helps them profit, so I understand. Overall, I'll be back! What a great local spot!

This outlet is clean, well organized, and true to its name: there are some major markdowns and steals to be found! I would say this is a step above Nordstrom Rack when it comes to high-end designer finds. If that's what you're looking for, this is your spot! I especially enjoy their shoe selection and clearance area with even deeper discounts. Usually when I'm here, I'm looking for nice formalwear. If you're stopping in, be sure to check out Annex next door - same concept, but even cheaper (we're talking as low as $3) for designer/name brand items with imperfections!

I walked in and was the only customer in the store. There were a couple of young female staff members behind the counter. One said hi to me. They continued to chat for a bit. This store has many Squishmallows. I was in heaven! One of the female staffers let me know that if I buy an item, I get the second at 50% off in the store. I ended up getting two 5" Squishmallows (Vera and Keroppi) and two small ones on clips. The latter ones ended up being 50% off. Yay! I also got a couple of Pusheen pens. Each one has ten different ink colours. I had a few of these multicoloured pens as a kid, but they were always humungous. These ones fit nicely in a purse or backpack, and they work! I paid with a credit card. I also gave the staffers my e-mail address associated with my Claire's rewards. All was great. They put my goodies in a bag. I thanked them and walked out happy with my purchases. This store is cool in my books. I'll be back. (20)

Full of tops that artfully drape to conceal postmenopausal pooch, and bejeweled scarf-and-glove sets, this store caters to a very specific type of woman. And I am not her. But if you are shopping for a middle-aged woman who veers toward the "artsy" side of the spectrum, someone with a healthy appreciation for jewel tones, glamorous reading glasses and accessories of all kinds, then you'll do well to hit this place for unique gifts or something to wear to a special occasion.

I visited in mid-November, so they had autumn and Halloween things on mark-down and quite a few new winter pieces out. The folks who work here are the nicest people and they actually wanted to help me save money---how awesome is that?! I'd found a few pieces I wanted, and one of the ladies who worked there said, "I think we have those in the back," and took me to where they have the yellow tag seconds and clearance items. Here's a helpful hint for if you shop in this area: the uglier pans are apparently the ones for industrial use, meaning they are not pretty on the outside but the interior is triple-coated and will last a lot longer because they are designed for heavy use. Now, with all the goods in this section, you have to look carefully for scratches and dings, but I found things in good condition that were about $20 less than their 'pretty' counterparts across the room. The factory store doesn't sell goods online. They are all about the treasure hunt mentality. I certainly found some treasures!
