The store opened August 18 next to a new TJ Maxx as they are one company. The shopping mall there is beautiful, well layed out , winery restaurant nearby. Home Goods opened at 8 but it was pouring rain so I did not get there till 10am.
It was packed..like all of Oak Lawn thought it was the last day on earth.
Home Goods knocked it out of the park with plenty of staff, cashiers, helpers to load your car, a packed store with all your favorite design items. They had staff keeping shelves arranged and tidying up aisles. Expediters would find you a cart person to move your item up front because if you left it- it would be gone to some other customer who was faster than you. They had a beautiful champagne frosted mirror foyer table I got for $50 less than Minnesota when I was there. The aisles are a little tight but who cares when you are in heaven.
It was men, women, couples, the whole neighborhood must have arrived.
Parking lost is spacious but packed that day. They had people keeping carts back in from the lot.
You could feel the frenzy and delight of us all as we found great deals, rugs,furniture, lamps, mirrors, linens, beautiful art work drapes and accessories. It is always a happy place when I see beautiful things like that.
Well planned opening with well trained people, plenty of staff who were very nice and free Home Goods huge Shopping bags you could keep on entry as you arrived and take home. It replaced the store across from Ford City and so much better an arena to shop at. read more
