I'm an online shopper, I avoid going to the mall especially on weekends and holidays. But when I…read moreneed some me time and a much needed retail therapy I go to Nordstrom Rack. This location is less than a mile from my house, very convenient and has plenty of parking available even on weekends. Even though this is not my fav Nordstrom Rack, (San Marcos, Ca. location has better shoe selection) I found my best deals here by far. Im super petite and tiny everywhere. I wear either a size 00, 0, XXS or XS depending on brand and fit in a size 4 or 4.5 shoes. Being tiny, it's hard to shop for clothes that fits me perfect outside of kids section. I find that I either pay full retail price or get really lucky with highly discounted odd size shoes or clothing regardless of the store I go to. So when I need a wardrobe update, I'll spend hours at NR and comb through the racks carefully if I want to find really high end brand name pieces for super low prices. Last time I went looking for a dress to wear to my brothers wedding in July, I found a super pretty floral dress for NOTHING!!! Original price was 172 on sale for 20 and I had a 40 dollar note sitting in my rewards account, so I paid zero for it... score!!! I've also gotten a blouse for a penny lol... say wha??? How is that even possible? Best deals to date: - Stuart Weiztman riding boots: paid 10.00 original price was 410.00 - Stuart Weiztman kitten heels suepump: paid 17.00 original price 199.00 - Ted Baker pink cocktail dress: 99.72 original price 1695.00 Above are just my fav buys, I've gotten really awesome finds and some of my fav treasured pieces at this store. Brands I love that I often find in this location are Stella McCarthy, SW Nudistsong (I have 4 pairs of different colors), Theory, Ted Baker, Bailey 44, lots and lots of Splendid, Via Spiga, Reformation and Badgley and Mischka shoes. Go in the morning during a weekday when everything is put away neatly. It's easier to comb through the racks when all's in order.

Checkout lines are always really long and the ventilation inside is poor. If you have trouble with…read moreallergies and asthma, you may want to really consider shopping at a different location. I was there to return a Nordstrom item and it took me well over 30+ minutes waiting in line. That was on a weekday afternoon too that wasn't during the holiday season. Can't say I love it. The rest of the store has ok selection of items. It has the lighting of Ross and the atmosphere too. Couldn't find anything I wanted to exchange my item with.

The entrance (that I use) of the shopping center has a large girl playing frisbee with her dog. There are many stores that have been and still are standing in this shopping center for decades, which are/were my go-to shops: -BJ's Wholesale -Kohl's -Walmart -Best Buy There are also newer shops that have popped up since the last few years such as Aldi. Olive Garden is an OG restaurant, but there are also many other options such as McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc. They have expanded this shopping center over the years to accommodate the shoppers, growing traffic as well as nearby residents.

It's pretty useful. I'm not a fan of strip malls for the most part. Yet Fair Lakes has a lot to…read morechoose from. There's a BJ's, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy. Also they have a decent selection of restaurants too. I'm surprised they haven't tried a movie theater. There's also the ultra religious Hobby Lobby, and a Guapo's restaurant that's pretty tasty. There's plenty of parking. You will get some foot steps in too. A lot of the stores are spread out. Please do be careful in the cross walks. Drivers often speed through here, and consider these legal markings to be "suggestions." If looking for a lot of stores in one place, this spot could be what you're looking for. They have a number of categories covered.

It's a hassle to trek up to the second floor to the Amazon returns area too. I would suggest for Amazon returns; go to UPS and Whole Foods which are in the same shopping center!

When I gently asked her where the lamps were of any kind. She raised her voice so sternly.. "THERE ARE NO LAMPS AT THIS LOCATION HERE"... So after that I didn't even know how to continue my shopping I just made sure to grab what I needed and leave her aggressive attitude. Right before I left a Hispanic male had started his shift and she again got shot red in the face and yelled at him. I didn't feel comfortable. When leaving I felt so drained and disgusted to ever go to a store like that again. A day that had to be so simple turned out so profiled into what a shopper shouldn't have to feel what so ever. I'm a young HISPANIC American mother who didn't have to deal with that kind of discrimination. it was my first experience of this store. If there wasn't any knowledge to where something was looking for it her self is something that was her job to do. Know where things are in a store.

Clothes were not even worth time to look at as their selection is not good. Staff is always nice and friendly.

Tip: Try to go as early as you can (once it opens of…read morecourse). I stopped by 5pm after work, and Plato's Closet was no longer taking items to "buy"/sort. I had a ton of different clothes - winter clothes, summer clothes, business clothes, etc. They accepted the H&M, Forever21, Zara, Princess Polly and SHEIN clothes, even though the more business-casual clothes were nicer and better value to take from me. So the other reviews are accurate in that they cater towards the teen-trendy fashion and fast fashion clothes. They took my boyfriends clothes which included some banana republic items, but they gave us $6-7 for a really nice blazer and green bomber jacket. Both of those could probably have been sold for $50+ on a different site but I guess the perk of Plato's Closet is you don't have to make that effort of creating the listing and talking to different buyers. The downside is that you get way less $ than the real value. So take your pick. The second time I dropped the items off with my boyfriend, we got there at 10am (when it opened). They texted us about 1.5hrs later saying they were done. They shared the itemized receipt with the $ per item for things they wanted to keep. Once we accepted, they gave us the cash and the rest of our clothes that they weren't taking, back in the original bags. I disagree with one of the reviews because the clothes were not wrinkled or messy back in the bag (then again does that indicate they didn't look through some of them??) I think things are inconsistent, which is understandable given the subjectivity in that job. One clerk who would have taken some clothes may not have made the same decisions as another clerk. Different clerks may have a different procedure or have a certain quota. Who knows how it works there. For selling, it was good to make some money and cut out some of the effort of selling those clothes online. For buying, none of the clothes on the racks seemed appealing, and close to the full price you'd find for that item in the original store.
