    New Merrills to replace my worn out Keens.
    Gary F.

    Old school small town non-chain (as far as I know) department store. The tiny town I grew up in had something similar. Locals owned it, locals worked there and they stocked things they knew were needed and appreciated in the community. McCaulou's is that kind of place. They don't throw a wide selection of brands typically, but they cover the basics pretty well with well selected quality brands. I can't say I come here often, but they've met my needs when I have. I appreciate that, and like to support local businesses. I see a few people give low ratings here... but I'm guessing it's an expectations thing. They expect a Walmart... or a Target... or something similar. That isn't what McCaulou's is... McCaulou's doesn't even pretend to be one of those stores. Seriously, if you want Walmart, go to Walmart. It's that simple. I came here because another shop on the other side of the freeway closed earlier than I expected (5PM vs 5:30PM as listed in Yelp). I needed new shoes, I don't have many days off these days, and I had planned to get some shoes. The other shop (which I do love and have bought several pairs of shoes and socks there) didn't work out, so I came here. They didn't have the brand I was looking for (Keen) but they did have another quality brand that was very similar (Merrell)... they had the size I needed... so mission accomplished! The Merrell's have Vibram soles which is probably an upgrade over the Keen soles, but time will tell.

    Nice dress shirt in basic gray. Sales clerk was helpful in picking it out. Thanks!

    A few months ago, I stopped in to buy a dress shirt. I was going into the City and needed a nice shirt for going out to dinner. While I was disappointed the inventory was so small for dress shirts, I was very pleased with the excellent customer service I got. The sales clerk was very helpful and pointed me to a nice dress shirt in basic gray. And, I am happy to say, I found a tie that went well with the shirt. The shirt was reasonably priced. Yet I hope that whoever orders the inventory for the men's department, will eventually have more selection of shirts and slacks for occasions other than being a tourist on vacation. But then again, maybe that is what our high tech culture has become, a large group of spectators and leisurely visitors, not doing much else.

    Hooray, the Bay Area department store chain has opened a new store in the building formerly occupied by Gottschalk's. It even lays out like its predecessor, except the men's department is much larger (due to their not having a Housewares department). This store carries a broad spectrum of cosmetics and skin care products, including Estee Lauder. One thing I noticed right away, is the staff is not as geriatric as the previous occupants of this building. We used to dread going to Gottschalks, but this store seems more inviting without the old biddies. Great selection and reasonable pricing when compared to Macy's.

    It still has the feel of the old Gottschalks, which the building once housed.

I tried to return the jacket 2 days later for store credit after deciding it wasn't quite right for this person, but I couldn't find the receipt. Jacket was in the pink Skye bag with original tags still attached. I was told that without the bar code on the receipt the item could not be returned or exchanged because they have to have the receipt code to look it up in their system. I do not believe that there is no way around this in their POS. I believe they have a completely inflexible return policy with no room for human error. I was told to find the receipt or there is nothing they could do for me. Over $50 down the drain. What's sad is that I'm a local shopper and I like a lot of what they carry in the store. I wasn't looking for a refund and I would have been more than happy to buy other items at the store. Yes, I should have kept my receipt. I intended to, and somehow it disappeared during my Christmas shopping errands. Yesterday was trash day so I can't even dig through and see if I accidentally threw it away. I understand the policy as a small business of no refunds. I don't understand the rigid stance that without a receipt you can't even exchange for other items in the store. The store would not lose any money by honoring store credit.

    Can I just tell you how much I loved this store??…read more I walked in and saw two smiling faces! A man and a woman, who were both welcoming, chit chatting away and laughing... I love seeing that! Since it was a day of shopping for me, let's see what I can find!! I have two events that I am shopping for, and when I walked in here, I noticed they have cowgirl hats! I need one of those, but so does my BESTIE who is going to be coming up to Auburn with me next Saturday! These hats are soooo darling!!! All colors, sizes, and some with designs on the front. All the hats i came across were also really good prices, too! Towards the back of their store, they have purses (I was so focused, I only saw purses, lol)!!!! Some were really unique... I wanted the spider purse, but I was remaining focused today! I found the perfect cream colored purse to go with the outfit I bought for my event for next weekend. They had some turquoise jewelery... I'm in the market for a turquoise ring, but I didn't find one for the finger I wanted it for. There are so many rings to look at her, not to mention the gorgeous necklaces that I need to buy next weekend!! I decided I was going to come back with my BESTIE so her and I can check out the hats together. We are super excited for our upcoming events and I think The Silver Store is the perfect place for us!!! Thank you so much, Mimi, for the warm welcome and radiant smile!!! See you soon!!
