By now most Americans are familiar with Ross Dress for Less…read more I was stoked to find this one in Carlsbad, NM since my young daughters finally both enjoy picking out their own clothes. It's an affordable fashion & home decor store that carries big name brands with a no frills approach to their layout and displays. Ample free parking in a shared plaza lot. Nice Spanish-only speaking lady working the back dressing rooms. The sensors on the purses at the front of the store were going off the entire almost hour we were there. No restroom for customers. All in all, it's a decent Ross.

Always busy and only have one person at the register. They are very rude. No customer service at…read moreall.

Went in to buy some work boots. Must be family owned or operated, as the young people were…read moreattentive and interested in making a sale, but not at all knowledgeable about the merchandise. I asked for several boots in my size and they kept telling me that they didn't have anything under a size 12. I found several on the shelf in my size, and finally a young fellow came over and said he could look in the back. He found me the matching boot for two pair, which I purchased. The price was about $100 more than I would have expected for the quality, but I know times for tough, and paid anyways to support this small business. The boots have served me well so far. If you have the time, money and the patience, you'll enjoy shopping at Rugged Trade. If you need to get something quick and you don't mind waiting overnight, Amazon will give you a better price.

I looked around & found some really cute stuff, but refused to buy anything after passing the counter & getting looked at a second time without any greeting. Sad, because they had cute clothes & I had planned on buying some. I will not give my money to a business (small or not) if as a customer I'm ignored that way. Gave it two stars just because their stuff was cute.

Melrose Family Fashions (store #137) is located in a plaza Carlsbad, NM…read more There's plenty of free parking in a huge lot. Melrose reminds me of a discount clothing store much like Ross Dress for Less which coincidentally is also right next door. That being said, while I find cute items I personally have to try everything on and am so glad I did. One of the flowery blouses that I grabbed was a bit lopsided and not in a fashionable way. It looked like a quick sewing job. My girls spent quite a bit of time shopping and trying on clothes. I'm so proud they are picking out stuff they like nowadays. Pre-teens! Devynn, our cashier, was a super sweet young lady. She encouraged me to join the rewards program for free. I'm definitely a fan of the low prices, but check your items to ensure quality and a good fit.

I'm visiting from Kansas. I shopped here on a Monday (late afternoon). There were probably 3 total…read moreshoppers in the store (including me). Although there seemed to be a decent variety of clothing, shoes, and other merchandise, I felt invisible. I walked in and immediately spied an employee up front at the shoes. She didn't even acknowledge me, although she clearly saw me. Two other young ladies were working there as well. None asked, "May I help you?" None offered a smile. I asked to try on a shirt and was accommodated. I think being welcoming and friendly is a necessity in running a business, and in brightening the world. I left without buying anything, mainly because the atmosphere was not welcoming. Hopefully, it was just the day.
