I had been planning a trip to DSW for a while now and was so excited to go there today. However,…read moreas I was browsing, I noticed that there was a woman in the store with a dog! It was not a service dog so I mentioned to one of the clerks that they shouldn't allow dogs in their store because there are people who have allergies (meaning me, for one). She spoke to someone over her headphone and asked if dogs were allowed; apparently no one cared because nothing was done. I actually ended up leaving the store because I did not want to have an allergy attack which would have lasted a few days. I am very disappointed!

They genuinely care about your interests, engage in non-invasive conversation and offer assistance/guidance without hovering. The sales are another huge reason I have become a regular customer! There's always a great deal going on and many times the stacked sales, promo codes, hot cash, etc... you couldn't make it for the deals you get! My favorite is when they have the B1G2 (buy 1, get 2)! I absolutely LOVE the HerUniverse brand themed lines- especially Disney and Marvel. I am constantly sporting something from this store- be it to work, church (yes, the dresses and jewelry especially), or during downtime daily routines- and am always receiving compliments on everything. The dresses and necklaces have become a trademark of mine as a result. Love this store! It's the best shopping experience one could hope for and it holds literally something for everyone! (There's even collectibles, housewares, accessories, clothing, shoes, make up/toiletries, phone accessories, backpacks, wallets/purses, jewelry, costumes, etc...) If you've never stepped in ...maybe you didn't know what they have/sell, maybe you are intimidated by the music... whatever the reason... don't miss out on something awesome! Give it a go! You won't be sorry but you might find out you have a Hot Topic addiction like I do.

The whole complex looks dated, but don't judge this location on it's looks from the outside. Inside of the store is nice, clean, organized, and well stocked. There were very few empty shelves. This Ollie's has one major issue: Store is WAY too small. There is nowhere near enough space between any of the aisles, with most being only one cart wide, making the shopping experience difficult. There is nowhere near enough queue space behind the registers. Ollie's needs to lease the vacant 13,000 sq ft storefront next door and expand into it. Overall, this could be a standout Ollie's if it had more space. Still worth a stop.

Once we saw this on the receipt he immediately went back in. The refused to give him a refund, only a store credit as this is their policy! So today we go back with the credit slip and make a similar priced purchase. I put my items on the counter which the woman grabbed and scanned right away, while I dug out my credit slip. She got angry when she saw it, saying loudly 'You should have given this to me first! Not I have to call for help!' To which I loudly replied 'I didn't know!'. Once a manager appeared she started in on the manager that I didn't give it to her first. I again said loudly I didn't know! The manager seemed to brush me and the old bag off while doing whatever she needed to do to use the store credit slip. If she doesn't like her job or people she needs to get another job. I won't be talked to like that. No more shopping there, I'll stick to Jubilee and the Re-U-zit store. Their prices are cheaper too, with better quality.

I consulted my handy dandy Yelp app and found that there was this Goodwill right nearby! Awesome! So off I go This Goodwill is in a larger shopping center serving a more rural area. There are some larger/big box stores, some smaller stores and this Goodwill, which was a good sized store. It was pretty easy to find and there is parking right out front, which was extra good as it was a rainy day Inside the store was easy to navigate, with good sized space in between aisles and you don't really have to go through one section to get to another, which is super nice. For example, you don't have to get through clothing to get to housewares. I headed over to the housewares, which was as typical arranged by color. I found a mix of things I was interested in and things I was not, however there were no broken items or things in poor condition. I then cruised over to clothing, where there were some nice pieces, however as it seems to be with the Goodwill stores in general in our area, I found the pricing was a bit high for the items they had. Still some bargains to be found, if you want to hunt I found checkout to be quite easy, and the staff to be pleasant and unobtrusive. The store was clean and well lit I am certain that should we be out in this area again, this Goodwill will be on my list of places to check out.

Prices can be about average for most items, some in a higher price point and others (especially on sale) are great deals. It's best to price compare prior to hitting the registers. The layout can be altered frequently which makes it seem difficult to find specific items- but the staff is always there to support and provide guidance. I love that they will personally escort you through the maze of aisles directly to what you're looking for. They are knowledgeable and professional. My biggest complaint is the unkempt restrooms. The trash cans are frequently overflowing onto the floor and it's always advisable to check stalls for toilet paper availability as there are many times that it was necessary to find an alternate stall due to unkempt and poorly stocked stalls.
