Until about a month ago I never knew this store existed. It's been in Ely for a little while now. I…read morestopped in here with some coworkers on a Friday afternoon. Really to just browse, but I did leave with a few Christmas gifts. Very nice boutique. Well-curated with fun things from clothing and accessories to cute hostess gifts, some home decor and kitchen items. Unique things like the cactus shaped earrings and IPA beer scented soap I picked up. Prices are moderate; not any more or less than you might see at a mall. Recommend if you're in the area!

Very neat little boutique in the heart of Ely which opened in May 2016…read more On a moonlight bike ride from Cedar Rapids we noticed the lights were on in this little shop across the street from the local bar. The gentleman owner was keeping the store open after hours when he saw the large group of bike riders milling about at Odie's. Well, that garnered him at least two sales. Many small stores in small towns such as Ely look the part of someone just trying to follow their dream, with little preparation and know-how, but this shop is different. It is well decorated, with careful thought as to how merchandise should be displayed. It is not a bare bones, quickly thrown together place, ala those that are just open for the Christmas season. You know the type. They have a nice selection of clothes geared to Hawkeye fans, Cyclone fans, and bike riders as well. The clothes for cyclists are not biking clothes, rather normal shirts, etc with a cycling motif. They also had merchandise very suitable for baby showers. We made a return trip two days later to pick up a U of I jacket that my wife liked, and the woman on duty was very nice. All in all, a very nice addition to Ely.

I do have trouble with fit on some items here. Jeans never fit quite right and some of the shirts feel pretty boxy. I have good luck with sweaters/cardigans (they have tons of good colors and patterns), skirts, sandals, accessories and occasionally dresses but again, the fit doesn't seem to have as much care put into it as a non-outlet GAP. Still a great place for wardrobe basics, especially with the emailed coupons.

Very poor customer service! I asked if I could use a merchandise certificate from the Banana…read moreRepublic store and was told by a manager that, yes, I could. When I returned to the counter with some things I wanted to buy, that specific manager was gone and the one filling in for her, Megan, very rudely told me that I couldn't. The same associate ( who had the personality of a turnip) who had helped the previous manger would not confirm it, so I was out of luck. Had they been polite it would not have been a problem, but they were so rude! None of the employees bothered to even make eye contact, much less say "hello" or "have a nice day". As a result of this poor experience I will no longer shop at any Gap store from here on out- or any stores affiliated with it, such as Banana Republic or Old Navy. I guess it is just too hard to hire people who will treat customers like human beings. ~ Emily

MAN does it pain me to write this review. I've had a love affair with Von Maur for over a decade…read more And boy, oh boy do I miss my random shopping getaways pre-pandemic. It has been my go-to for formal wear, Iowa Hawkeye gear, shoes, accessories, swimwear and more over the years. But this summer they changed their return policy. I think a lot of it is pretty standard... - Return within 90 days with a receipt: Receive purchase price back to original form of payment - Return after 90 days with receipt or anytime with a gift receipt: Receive purchase price as merchandise credit only. - Return without a receipt: Receive current selling price as merchandise credit only. My issue with this change is with their new FINAL SALE policy. - They cut the tags off your brand new items to ensure you can't return them. Therefore my newly purchased, never worn item that I just so happened to score a great deal on... looks not new. Possible pre-owned. What if I planned to gift someone that item? Don't they deserve to know it hasn't been worn and is right off the rack? (Or in my case, I got a supposedly unworn bikini without any tags... which was unexpected. And kind of weirded me out.) If you need to scribble on the tag, over the barcode-- go for it. But I go to Von Maur for the experience and the unique items sold there. It is tacky and off brand to send new items sans tag. (And when I contacted customer service to express my opinion about said two piece. I was basically shrugged off.) I buy plenty of thrift items for myself and even they include a tag... just sayin. This would be a two star, just because of how I feel about the new changes. But I still stand by Von Maur as a quality store. This change may stop me from getting certain items here now. (#shopsmall, #shoplocal) But it shouldn't deter you from getting full-priced items here!
