While the Kalamazoo Sticks & Stones location has closed, the Portage location is still open). The new location is slightly more spacious and offers a little more in the gift department in addition to the new men's line.

Eclectic as all get-out -- this is a truly unique downtown gem! Love the vibe of the…read moremother-daughter team that runs this place and their flair for vibrant color, pizazzy patterns, and unusual garments. Every single time I wear my tulle skirt from Lusso I feel like a punk rock princess and I get compliments galore. It's always nice to be able to respond to those compliments with: "I got it at a cute little boutique right here in downtown Kalamazoo." Some of their clothing is probably a bit too extra for the average Kalamazooan, but if you find the just-right occasion, you'll look red-carpet worthy in them, and they have some everyday wear as well. Definitely worth a pop-in when you're wandering along the mall.

I love shopping at the Meijer store on Gull Road. When you compare it to other Meijer stores, the…read morestaff is friendlier, the store cleaner, and the produce fresher than any others - especially the Westnedge Meijer. I want to give a shout-out to two people in particular. One works in the Women's fashion and her name is Cheryl. She was extremely helpful and polite when I was in looking for clothes for my Niece's birthday. It did not appear to be her department - she was working on socks - but she was helpful and kind. She even showed me a few things that she thought a little 5 year old girl would like. She waited until I was satisfied nad did not immediately leave - something I have experience at other Meijer stores and especially at places like Walmart. The second person I wanted to shout-out to was named Tim and he was my check-out person. He was very fast and very friendly even though I was going crazy trying to get everything on the conveyer belt. He was polite and chatted nicely while I put my stuff on the belt. This is by far the best Meijer experience in the Kalamazoo Portage area.

This Meijer is a pit. It's immensely better than Westnedge, but that's not saying a lot. What stood…read moreout was the lack of actual registers being open... not even self checkout was open enough for the demand. This is the one singular line meijer had open on a Friday afternoon. And I took this picture 30 minutes after moving to self-checkout. When I asked, employees said that the "kids" that should be working the weekends are constantly calling in. Not sure how that became the customer's problem, especially when you stopped being 24/7. Maybe start paying your employees a decent wage, and this wouldn't happen.

Just an FYI- There is only about a 6 foot rack of maternity clothes total in the store…read more Disappointed.

There tends to be a difference between a thrift shop (like Goodwill, and religious mission operated…read morebusinesses like St. Vincent DePaul) and a second hand store (generally pricier, higher product quality, and operated under a more traditional business model). This place seems like a hybrid of both. Prices seem to be right around the Goodwill range or even less (and like Goodwill, they were offering 50% off of certain colored tags). I hope you've got Macklemore playing in your head because I know I do. I got the velcros ... Anyway, decent variety of older games and toys, lots of kids clothing in a wide range of sizes, even some maternity bras and clothing for mothers, and a huge rack for shoes in the back. As is off in the case, there were three times as many girls shoes as boys. The spot is definitely way off the beaten path -- tucked in the very back corner of a strip mall at the corner of Gulll and Sprinkle roads (if you've found Main Street Pub you've got the right building -- it's around the back).
