Leela & Lavender is in the Arbor Lakes shopping mall. The inside of the store is very clean and…read moreorganized. I have been in here a few times but staff don't approach to greet or offer assistance. There is a large variety of clothing items and the sales floor is easy to shop. There was a ladies night event advertised on their social media which mentioned giveaways but when asked about them the salesclerk confirmed there were none. The store has frequent sales or discounts. They do offer private shopping parties in which the hostess receives a 40% discount and guests get 20% off.

I've been to the store numerous times, I've never been greeted or ask if I needed help. When I've asked for help finding a size, I was made to feel like I was putting the staff out.

So I came across this fun Instagram account that posted great outfits. Upon further inspection I…read morefigured out they are a women's clothing store with a new location in Maple Grove! I finally was in the area to check them out. They have some really fun, unique items which is great because I don't want to see my outfit on someone slimmer than me! They have so much merchandise to look at and go through that I started at one end and kept circling around the store because I was afraid I'd miss something! Large selection equals awesome! They even had a decent amount of clearance items. Two rolling racks with 50% off. I love a good deal! Jewelry, accessories, and even shoes! Very impressive! Now I'm not a model size and I was pleasantly surprised at the selection in large, XL, and even a few XXL! Thank you! Personally for me the prices are way outside of my budget. $50 for a t-shirt, $35 for a tank top? Sorry, but I couldn't find anything that I absolutely loved for those prices. I will definitely stop back to see what's on sale and what new styles they have though. I personally liked that the sales girls (they were chatting about high school) greeted me, but left me to wander. As soon as I picked a few things up they were by my side offering me a dressing room! But for the most part let me browse. Very nice! I will definitely stop by again when I'm in this neck of the woods!

I always find something here! They have the best jeans I've ever seen, a good variety of styles and…read morethe employees are helpful without being pushy. If I worked here I'd spend my whole check at the store. They have great brands and styles. A little more for the mature crowd than younger shoppers, but that's fine with me because they have nice clothes for work and play. Cute tops, leggings and cammis too. I can't stay away!

Visiting Nordstrom's Racks sometimes feel like a treasure hunt. You never know if you're going to…read morefind that designer bag or shoes for 80% off or if all you're going to find is the Nordstrom rack brand items. That's what makes it fun! The Rack in Maple Grove is decent sized and well laid out. They tend to have a bit of a smaller selection of the higher end designers that you can find at the Mall of America Nordstrom rack but still a decent variety. They carry women's, men's, children's, shoes, accessories and home goods. Parking is plentiful but the traffic flow is a little tricky directing you right into the first row. That row gets 100% of incoming traffic so I'd recommend parking one or two over. Customer service here is always good. While you are kind of on your own to hunt the racks (if you want a personalized shopping experience head to the actual Nordstrom's) the employees always seem to be in a good mood and helpful when checking out. Dressing rooms are always clean and they have plenty of spaces to try on items. It helps when people return unwanted items to the return racks so do your part and don't leave them in the room. Overall I think visiting this location is fun and I rarely leave empty handed!

I got home and I didn't check my things right away. The next day when I checked I only had three pair of shoes with 3 boxes. I called. And spoke to someone that claimed to be a manager they said they would investigate the situation. They claimed to have check cameras, and they claimed that the shoes were in the bag, but the shoes never made it home with me. I'm a professional medical provider I have two twin boys, a husband there is no other female in the house and I know what I saw and how this person was acting at the register. Just make sure you check your items before leaving this store! Especially when you have someone that's bagging your stuff on the ground versus on the countertop!

Service 3/5 Service was helpful and personable enough. Selection 3/5 It would have been nice if they had more solid colors in clearance. I looked up some fabric which I didn't find once I arrived. it very disorganized and not grouped together so that didn't help however it was decently priced items in clearance. Everything else was pretty pricey. They didn't have many crochet kits for adults either. They did carry predestined crochets sets which was nice. Michael's no longer carry those. Overall 3/5 not too bad and would return if I had more time to browse their selections.

After wandering among the aisles of fabric, I asked if they have a section of 100% cotton jersey fabrics. Nope, I'd have to pull every single bolt to check for the fabric type (after about 10, I quit). I meant to buy a walking foot for my sewing machine, but with the lack of help I decided I'd be better off going online or to a better run fabric store. If you're newer to sewing, this is not the place to get any help.
