So, I just want to start by saying that this place is awesome! Too awesome, as I seem to have a…read morehard time coming out of there without spending a fortune! It's not because everything is so expensive but because it's all soooo cute I cannot resist!! And I usually have very good self-control when it comes to shopping. Their bag selection is phenomenal and that's usually what gets me in trouble! So many bags!! Purses, clutches, sling bags, beach bags, tote bags, travel duffel bags, I could go on, but I should probably stop! Tons of burlap bags and burlap everything else for that matter! I love natural fiber anything! Super cute shoes and clothes as well. They also have tons of affordable and adorable present ideas! Baby shower or wedding presents, super cute kids toys, LSU stuff, and more! You'll just have to check it out yourself! Also, if you can swing by during one of their sidewalk sales, there are things that are marked down to even $2 and $3! It's a great time to stock up on gifts! Just don't expect it to be a quick shopping trip, you'll be there a while! Plus, it's a really beautiful store! My daughter was so intrigued by the side courtyard that she wanted to have a picnic out there! LOL. And of course it's in a great part of town where you can almost spend the day just walking around, shopping and eating! There is also a bigger Royal Standard store on Perkins closer to Prairieville but this one is definitely my favorite in one of my fav parts of BR!

I was immediately greeted and welcomed into the store, even though there were several people being assisted. There are several local vendors selling items in The Foyer, and each area has a different theme or flavor. The local artists on display are phenomenal. You can find something in all price ranges and styles as well. I found some special pieces for my mom and a gift for a student at LSU. I can't wait to go back after the holidays and shop for my house! The store is clean and easy to get around in. While sometimes the popular stalls may get a little cramped, everyone is respecting distance. Also, the numerous times I was offered assistance was great. I even saw one employee search through several ornaments to help one patron find an obscure item she thought might be there. Lucky for her, it was! I didn't get to go to the cafe this time (Heather V's), but i guarantee I will be back for some delicious sandwich or salad very soon!

I was originally here to meet some friends at Heather V's Cafe (located in the back of the gallery), just wish I had more time to shop! It was lovely to see that within the gallery there were individual "boutiques" sectioned off, which I thought added more character to the place! You could literally go into one "boutique" and find everything you needed to decorate your home or a section of your home with. I look forward to my next visit, when I can browse longer and shop for some home items or fun gifts!

I was thoroughly impressed. This is all part of the 1010 Nic space off of Nicholson, which is bringing forth the new age of shopping to Baton Rouge. I wish this showroom was my living room and bedroom. Furniture is hip, modern and classy for those that want a clean and sleek look for their living and/or office space.

Ollie's gets in product and merchandise from stores' overstock/unsold storage, and there are reasons for unsold items. If an appliance, check online reviews for other customer experiences. For this particular location, most of the time, they do NOT have the popular advertised items. I live about an hour away and have gone to this store, not found what was advertised, asked the staff, and received awkward looks and "I don't even know what that is" responses-- they do not even know what is in their own ad! They were more interested in continuing their personal conversation. They could have been repairing the other entrance door or just removing it and ensuring no fire code violations. Would I go back? Yes. How often? 1-2 times a year What am I looking for? Gardening items, candles, educational materials, holiday gifts

My friend and I made plans to have lunch at Peppers and shop downtown Thibodaux. After eating, we…read moreshopped at Neat and then went across the street to Chic Chateau with my bag from Neat in hand. As we entered Chic Chateau, I saw a young woman smiling behind the counter as she talked with an older woman shopper. There was no one else visible in the store. Just as we opened the door, the woman looked at us, dropped her smile, then stared with a blank expression for a second or two. Her reaction to me caught me off guard as I waited for "welcome" or "hello, let me know if you need any help". Acknowledgement of our presence was non-existent. (I noticed her smile because she and possibly the customer were not wearing a mask. (This is no issue for me because I dislike masks as well.) She turned back to the woman she was speaking with but their conversation became hushed. I immediately mentioned the awkwardness of the moment to my friend. When we rounded the shelf and made visible contact with them again, both had put on their masks. I noticed the older lady seemed uncomfortable by her body language. I sat down on an interesting chair near the counter and as the older lady left, she turned away from me as she walked briskly kind of looking at me out of the corner of her eye. She appeared to be avoiding eye contact and seemed like I said, "uncomfortable". At some point, I attempted to get noticed by commenting on a product on the shelf. I mentioned that I was not familiar with a particular brand of which she had several different items of on that shelf. Crickets! That was her chance to sell me but I was ignored. The only time anything was said to me was when I commented on a unique chair near the counter while sitting on it. The young woman behind the counter said something like "yes, the kids love it." That was it. No offer of help. No asking if I had a question about something in the store. I found this odd since I had commented earlier about an item, browsed the store, and paused to examine a few things. It's as if she did not expect me to buy anything so what was the point of trying. Moments later, a man in a blue button down shirt entered from the back of the store. He didn't say anything to the young woman but they made eye contact as he began observing us. Remember we are the only customers in the store. It's completely quiet and Ashley is ignoring us now doing busy work. If I'm not mistaken, a second man in a blue button down shirt entered from the back. They didn't say anything to us. They just followed us with their eyes but attempting not to be. It was a strange moment. I was ready to go at this point and when I yelled to my friend that I was ready to leave, she was already at the door. I messaged Chic Chateau Wednesday 12/23 morning on Facebook asking to speak with the owner about the incident that had happened the previous day. I received a response informing me that I was speaking with the owner and that they were in the store the previous day when the incident occurred. The person did not provide me with their name. Almost immediately after my initial message to Chic Chateau, I thought to check the about section on their Facebook page for the owner(s). I saw Debbie Terracina Webre and Ashley Webre listed as the owners. My following two replies to Ashley requested a phone conversation with her or her mother stating that text was not the appropriate method of communicating for this sensitive issue. I'm paraphrasing myself here. Ashley has read both messages but has not responded. When I went back to the Chic Chateau Facebook page's about section, the names of the owners were removed that had been there earlier Wednesday morning. It was my desire to handle this privately and hoped to get Chic Chateau's attention to give them the opportunity to hear my concerns. A message saying they would get back with me after the holidays would have sufficed. There is evidently something going on here where some customers are greeted with smiles and others with frowns. Why?

As for this location, my first thing to note, if there is a large puddle in the parking lot, don't park in it. It's not rain water - there is a sewage issue and the parking lot often has flooded spots. I parked near it on my last visit, and you could smell the sewage and there was wet tissue in the puddle. Just find another spot. I can usually find what I am looking for at a decent price here. Lots of items are damaged, but you have to know what you're getting. Also, if you're buying something with words, check the spelling. An associate and I had a great laugh at a few misspelled Christmas items last year. There are usually some pretty good sales on most the things, so I'll stock up on little holiday extras here and there. They have a lot of registers, but usually only a few are open. I like the staff there mostly, everyone is pretty friendly. I also notice that, unlike the Dollar Tree next door, they actively keep people away from loitering at the doors.
