    Went in to sell some clothes & daughter walked out like bandit with books after our store credit! The girls were super friendly & quick to process the tote. Only suggestion is to get set up their text notifications Don't worry! We cleaned up the mess of books!

    Consignment shop for baby clothes, toys, shoes and equipment like bouncers, strollers, etc. Nice variety and pricing on the clothing, especially for special occasions like holidays. For shopping, it's definitely worth the visit. I tried the consignment side of it for the first time and didn't really like that they sent me away while they evaluated everything I brought in. They also said some of my clothes was stained, which actually it wasn't. I'm fine if they didn't want to purchase some of my stuff, but, don't lie to me about the reason.

    Been here solely a few times and was recently reminded of the place due to an upcoming infant's b-day party I plan to go to. The place is packed with cute toys and clothes for infants, toddlers and small children. Great bargain prices and special offers. Good quality items and excellent customer service.

    Halloween clothing, not to be confused with the section they have for costumes. Score!

    Ok, Old Navy has been on it lately, and I've been loving their latest designs, especially in the…read morejeans department. I recently got a pair of embroidered flare jeans and I'ver seriously never gotten so many compliments. Everyone is always shocked when I tell them they're from Old Navy. I recently visited the Waterford location to shop the Devil Wears Prada 2 collection, and luckily they still had most items in stock. I'm going to see the movie with friends and we're all dressing up to the theme. I got the groundbreaking florals for spring tee -- so fun (IYKYK)! The cerulean sweater was also so cute, and my friend ended up getting it. I've already been shopping here for many of my son's toddler outfits, but I've really enjoyed shopping for myself recently as well. I also really like their athletic wear and got a cute girly workout skirt. I will say that their new release items are priced a bit high in my opinion, but their stuff tends to go on sale pretty quickly and I try to only shop the sales for the best deals. You can sometimes find better deals online than in store, and things ship pretty quickly.

For myself I like their sports wear, I love that the texture of the clothing is so soft, the adult sportswear in specific and everyday cotton shirts. I just love how they feel, the texture. This location in Waterford lakes is pretty good, I feel I can find what I'm looking for most of the times, and their sales selection is always updated and you can find good deals year around. The only thing that I may have an objection about is that sometimes to check out it takes a long time, not all the time but often enough that's a pattern, the lines takes long, I know is normal in retail to try to upsell the store offers, credit cards reward program, etc, but sometimes even when there are only a few people in line it takes a long time to check out. I also wanted to add that old navy's app is pretty good when it comes to ordering clothes online and pick them up on location, and to get general info about the store. Recommended.

I was greeted by Kayla who was very nice but you could tell that she was very new. She wasn't pushy at all, told me about their sales and then continued to help some friends that had come in. I ended up asking Sara (come to find out later, she's the store manage) about a shirt in a different size and then she pointed me in a new direction when my size wasn't available. Loved her suggestion but after trying it on, it wasn't for me. Then she switched it up again and that's when i tried on a bunch of stuff that honestly, i would have never grabbed. I loved almost everything. I left with a bag full of stuff, a special order and a great price! I feel like I even left with a new friend! She was so incredibly friendly but still professional, she made me feel comfortable and took very good care of me. I'm also writing this review so I can remember her name and ask for her next time i go in. I hope she sticks around!! Buckle is very lucky to have such a great person leading their store. After working in Hospitality for 15 years, employees like that are hard time find. *my only negative vibe was when the talked clearly and cheered loudly on the floor about sales goals. I completely understand that they are all in sales and I'm sure they have daily goals but i didn't think it was professional to announce so publicly while on the floor.

Ryan showed me the jeans that were on sale and Eva went out of her way to pick out a couple shirts she thought I might like based on what I had grabbed before going into the fitting room. I left with 4 gorgeous and unique looking shirts that I'm very happy with. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because it is very expensive, at least for me. As for the people commenting about the sales associates being pushy....that is their job. Retail workers often have daily sales goals to meet and are told to actively engage with customers and SELL SELL SELL additional products. I have worked retail before and I know what happens when you "don't make your numbers" for the day. It isn't that hard to say "no thank you" a few times while you shop. Just some food for thought

The men's section has some fun,unique gadgets and novelty merchandise, of which I selected a few. There are some discounts throughout the store, making things more reasonably priced. I do have a Kohl's charge card, so I had my 40% off coupon ready to go in the app. Always nice to see how much you saved on that receipt. This was my first visit since the checkout area has been altered. It is now similar to some other retailers, a winding line that has customers corralled into a path surrounded by more stuff to buy. I don't love it, but it is effective seeing as how I grabbed an additional item. I believe 7 registers were open. There was a wait to get there, though. A manager apologized for the delay. He helped direct customers to the next available register. Angie, the associate who completed my transaction, was very friendly and upbeat. Overall I felt they handled the busyness adequately.

Some of the stuff on full price is a bit pricey for me, however they do have quite a selection. It's a pretty big store so if you have the time I would recommend just walking around the entire thing and taking a look at all the different items they have. My husband loves to get his business pants here. They're a little on the pricey side but they do last him at least a couple years. The cashiers are usually friendly and always try to get me to sign up for a Kohl's card.

This location in particular is always usually fully stocked and can find great items. It's kinda like treasure hunting; you never know what good deals you'll find! Every now and then you'll see high quality skin care here, and that's usually what I'm fishing for. I remember one time I found Pedicone MD plasma + face and neck cream and I bought all 3 containers on the shelf. At Ulta and online it costs around 65 bucks for 1 container and Tj had it for 16.99 each so when you do the math, those 3 containers still didn't even amount to the price of one elsewhere. I walked out of there feeling like I had won the lottery that day. On another visit I got on the clearance shelf (yes it was unopen) Drunk Elephants' SPF 30 cream, do a google search and see how much it is... who pays almost 50 bucks for an SPF 30?? I paid 9.99. I get a lot of cooking stuff here too, sometimes you'll find cooking spices real cheap or just stuff for the kitchen. Overall, coming here is a good time if you like bargains; enjoy!
