My name is Michael Avila and this past Saturday I went to Gimre's Shoe Store in Astoria, Oregon…read more Although I began with one person initially, I ultimately worked with another staff person whose name is Nikki. I had come to Gimre's with a very specific issue relating to a style of New Balance shoe I wished to purchase. Nikki was gracious and friendly and her knowledge of shoes is clearly extensive. When Nikki discovered the item I wanted to purchase had been discontinued, she knew where to look to see if there were other options to consider. After looked at some other possibilities, she helped me find another style, within the New Balance brand, that actually ended up being the perfect shoe for my particular needs. Thank you Gimre's for being a resource in Astoria, Oregon, and a big thank you Nikki for all of her efforts and taking the time necessary to help me find an even better pair of shoes than the ones I thought I would buy that day.

Exceptional craftsmanship, very fair prices, cannot recommend enough!…read more I had some moc toe boots that I had worn the heel way past time for repair, but I wasn't sure if they could be done because the shoe has a 'foam like' material on the bottom. Dude did an AMAZING job making the new rubber sole fit with the original shoe. They look BRAND NEW (and these are shoes I've worn heavily for a few years). I had also worn the heel unevenly and he perfectly fixed them.

I am SHOOK to read these other reviews! I absolutely adored my visit to Garbo's…read more OK, yes this place is overstuffed and chaotic. But there are some TREASURES hidden amongst the chaos, and I had a blast digging through. I also found the store owner to be a delight. The whole thing had a "playing in your very cool grandma's attic" vibe and I am HERE! FOR! IT! I was with a friend and he surprised me by purchasing a jacket from this store that I in love with but couldn't really afford. Now I'm living my Brokeback Fringe Fantasy, and it's all think to Garbo's. Yeah the prices seemed kinda high, but when somebody else is buying that's basically the same as free, right??? I could have spent hours here, giggling with my friend while playing dress up. I'd probably end up broke, but that's fashion, baby.

We didn't see any price tags on any of the merchandise we looked through. When my wife came across…read morea garment that she seemed to like, she asked the owner for the price. Well, you could *feel* the owner "looking us both up and down" and concluded that we must be out-of-town visitors with more money than sense. She quoted a price about twice that of the garment when new. When we declined and headed toward the door, she said "I can do better!" Conclusion: interesting place to browse, but save your money and buy elsewhere.

My senior citizen mom bought a pare of pants yesterday with the senior discount of $1.80 off her…read morepants. She got home and realized they were missing a button. She was able to come back today the next day (wednesday) and she just wanted to exchange then for the same pants that didn't have a missing button. They refused to exchange them and charged her the $1.80 and told her since it isn't senior Tuesday today that there was nothing they could do. There is always something you can do. I don't think that's right. My mom is on a fixed income and doesn't buy things for herself often. Sure it's only $1.80 but my mom was clearly upset about it and $1.80 makes a difference for some people.

They wont allow you to 'fix' while in line, you have to go stand in a long line with one overworked customer svc person, and its a major hassle, especially if you're popsicles are thawing. I am an astute shopper - I'm expert on using their app, clipping their coupons, reading the ads before I shop, etc., and to boot I worked grocery early in my long career. These were genuine errors. We've had to endure a near year-long revamp of the store, its nearly finished, and I've yet to to see ANYWHERE any improvement in the experience. Its mind boggling how much money they spent to achieve NOTHING. When I was a checker, they came out with the most efficient way to process items; customer puts product on belt, the employee scans it and puts it right in the shopping bag. Boom, handled once! Super efficient! A few years ago some idiot with no clue how checkstands operate came up with the bright idea of having the checker scan it, put it on another belt, where another employee bags it. Handled TWICE. And this store NEVER has 1:1 checker/bagger. Today there were FIVE checkers, and ONE bagger. Fred Meyer continues its increasing abuse of plastic. Too many instances to write here.
