I visit downtown Wooster quite often because there are many cute shops, and I've heard a lot about Poppy so I decided to check it out. This boutique is really cute, very well decorated, and very nice clothes/jewelry. I have been there several times and have yet to purchase anything.
First of all, these prices are outrageous. $200+ for a regular pair of jeans? That's crazy! Whether I find a necklace, tee shirt, shoes, or pants, I'm guaranteed to be spending over $30. Secondly, as much as I've came in to look around, I have never been properly greeted by employees. That's a bummer to me, I'm big on a welcoming environment where I'm going to be spending my money.
This boutique is great quality and always clean. I can say, I'm really impressed with the "Alex & Ani" bracelet cabinet. It's impossible to find anything Alex & Ani around here, so I am quite happy about that. The clothes seem to be good quality, and are indeed very fashionable. I just can't bring myself to spending so much when there's other places around offering similar styles for a cheaper price.
I do hope to see this place stay around the area, but until prices are lowered I can't see it getting the business it deserves. read more
