Much like Yana's across the street, they have more mature clothing, but very fun styles, prints and colors. Unique variety with staples like jean jackets, summer dresses, and linen pants. Moderate pricing. Lots of sale items located upstairs. Lots of sweaters and off season items were 20% off. I was tempted, but most things were still a little too pricey for me. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Wow! Wow! Wow!…read more Finally a cool clothing & accessories boutique that caters ladies like me. Still feeling youthful at 59, but neither a teen or matronly body. I spent at least an hour shopping, trying on clothing getting heartfelt compliments from the other ladies in the shop. I also got help with finding the perfect jeans! After narrowing down my selection, I asked my husband (and Golden Retriever) for feedback. Yes, my 100lb Golden was allowed in and he made himself right at home. Needless to say, I walked out with a large shipping bag, but the amount was less than I expected. My husband's comment was it seems we will be making more trips from KC to keep my wardrobe timely/current. Ladies - gotta love his comment purchases $$.

And that matters SO much when you shop a small business, which is what I love to do! From the moment you enter the shop, you feel welcome. And the store itself is always clean and well merchandised! Plus, the merchandise itself is great. The styles are current, the quality is solid and the prices are reasonable. You can really take home a pretty big shopping bag full of goodies, without breaking the bank! They also carry beautiful jewelry and accessories, making it a fashion one-stop-shop. Love this place!!

David, one of the two owners, is a fantastic guy. He is very knowledgeable, super helpful and the reason we have visited again and again. We have also seen him outside the store, and he has remembered our faces and handed us items we knew that we would love. David is truly a great guy. The place has everything you can think of; buttons, vintage legos, toys, NFL items, sports card, CDS, tapes, DVDs, clothes, cups, hats, banners. This store truly has something for everyone for a reasonable price.

Love this place. I was finally able to visit the Goodwill Outlet Store in CR over the weekend. If…read moreyou're familiar with Cedar Rapids, the Outlet is in part of the former Klein Tools building on the SW side near the airport. Big, clean, open shopping space. Blue 'boats' cover the sales floor and are filled with all kinds of items. Gloves are required in order to dig through the bins. You can bring your own, or buy them at the Outlet for $1.99/each. Wonder why gloves are required? Your safety, of course. A new boat is rolled out every 30minutes (I believe). We had arrived a little after 4pm (closing is at 5pm) on Saturday and the last boat had just been rolled out. Don't assume that the boats are full of stuff the local stores didn't want - that isn't the case. I'm not sure how the boats are originally organized, but by the time the day is over clothing is mixed in with housewares. Books and cds/dvds stayed relatively separate from all other items. There are lots of great things to be found including higher-end shoes like Cole Hahn, Puma, Nike, Adidas, vinyl records, great books, etc. Merchandise is sold by the pound at $1.49/lb. If you have a heavy item and are curious about the cost, there is a self-service scale available for customers to use. Employees can put a pile of your items on their counter scale, or roll your entire cart onto the freight scale. Furniture is priced individually, but I didn't see any on the sales floor when we visited. The person I was with said they had never seen the boats so 'light.' Maybe donations are down right now. I definitely plan to come back in a few weeks, but a few hours earlier. Most customers and all employees were wearing masks, which I really appreciated. If you want to sift through each bin it will take all day. Restrooms available, shopping carts, a nice vending area (because you'll really need a snack 2 hours in). Check-out is similar to Aldi, in that there is a counter where you can bag or box your items before leaving. Employees don't bag. There are bags and boxes available for customers to use, but I'm sure you can bring along your own. Very friendly staff. Parking lot can get cramped when busy, and a small lounge area for sitting would be nice so shoppers could take a break without having to go back out to their cars. We left with a shopping cart full including books for $35. One of the top places in Eastern Iowa to find a good deal. Highly recommend.
