Similar in format to Marshall's, TJ Maxx and Ross, most of the store is dedicated to women's clothing with sections for young women, boys and yes, there's some space for men. Electronics, luggage, canned/boxed food (nothing fresh) and shoes too. Prices are generally clearly marked and they have constant sales and discounts. Do keep an eye on the labels - not everything that says "large" is actually "large." And if you're shopping with kids, look out for the candy and other brightly colored stuff in the check-out aisle.

I found a few nice shirts, and am overall happy with my experience! It's small, so naturally there isn't the selection you'd find at a Goodwill type place. They are organized and have a nice selection of books and plate sets, among other things. Mens, womens and childrens clothing. They were playing Christian music which isn't my taste, but not something that bothers me enough to choose elsewhere. Bilingual, Spanish signage and I assume some or all of the staff can speak Spanish, too. Love to see! Go check it out!

When it came up in my Google search I thought it was an online company but was shocked to see several locations in the Charlotte area. Sadly the shoes I purchased didn't fit, but with their fast (and free) shipping I was able to visit this store pretty quickly after they arrived to get my refund. The store is small but has a nice selection for men, women and kids including clothes. Making my return was painless and quick. I paid using Apple Pay and was able to get my refund the same way. The store employees were friendly too. This store location is conveniently near 85 in the University area and shares the parking lot with World Market, Hobby Lobby etc.

I almost always find what I'm looking for at Infinity's and if I can't find it at one location, they usually have what I need at one of their other stores. My second favorite location is off South Blvd from when I lived on that side of town. Yesterday I stopped by the University location after visiting two smaller smoke shops that didn't have what I was looking for. (In fairness, one of them did but not the color I wanted.) Of course I found it at Infinity's; I reminded myself, "You should have just come here first." Besides having the largest selection of any and everything, the staff is always the most chill and friendly and knowledgeable. Soon as I told them what I wanted, Derek immediately helped me. He was awesome, even checking to see if they had the color I was looking for (they did!) and going above and beyond to explain the lifetime guarantee etc. It never felt like a pressured sales pitch. Plus, kudos for asking how much I was willing to spend. Infinity's people almost always ask because they know customers are on different budgets. While you can't go wrong with anyone working there, after yesterday I especially recommend Derek. Seriously go see him when he's there! In my experience, though, everyone is fantastic at all three shops.

From ground level, it's a bit tough to work out the layout but now that the parking deck is built for the LYNX station, I was able to climb up to the top and get a decent overview. The main features here are all restaurants. A few quick fast food but most are fast casual sit down restaurants that hit the spectrum of food groups - Asian, burgers, breakfast, pizza, etc. There are some decent hotels here too which probably help with driving traffic flow. One of the highlights is paddleboat rental on the small lake that also has a couple of water fountain features. Plenty of parking and easy enough to access.

Latoya helped me see myself the way I've been wanting to all these years. She helped me feel confident by teaching me what looks good for my body and what doesn't.

I literally stand in my closet and just look around with excitement. Sometimes I just try new combos for fun! Latoya and Closet Invite brought me back to me and I can't recommend her enough!!!

I was getting divorced, had some upcoming trips and events, and wanted my wardrobe to represent my new season. But I was overwhelmed by it all. Latoya listened to me, got to know me (best consultation I've ever had), put me at ease, encouraged me, styled me, shopped for me and reminded me of who I am. She's responsible for what I call my revolution. She was attentive, patient, thoughtful, professional, resourceful and simply hella good at helping this hopeless tomboy look and feel stylish and put together. The sister has vision. She saw me as I couldn't yet see myself. I must admit at first I doubted if she could style me and all of my plushy curves modestly enough for my comfort while still unleashing the confidence and fire that had been buried so long. Latoya allayed every doubt, shut my mouth and put me on the front page of my own story with style and class. I'm forever grateful. I'm back, y'all, and I have ClosetInvite to thank. Don't sleep. Hit her up. Seriously, like now.
