I hadn't been to this location in a number of years. I recently was searching for a specific item,…read moreand this seemed to be the only local store to possibly have it. I had been to almost every other Walmart in the area, so what was one more to check? Fortunately, they had the item I needed, which in itself is rare for WM. I also noticed that this Walmart seemed to be 'upgraded' from the ones closer to me. It has whole floor sets of particular brands that aren't available, or at least set up that way, at my store(s). It actually has an overall more upscale feel to it. When I sent to the self-checkouts, there was a pretty big line, but an associate came over and got me and another shopper to check out (at fragrances?) which saved us time and helped reduce the line.

The pick up order service has improved over the last year or so and the pharmacy pickup is fairly smooth. I mostly go through the self-check out lanes since I rarely have a lot to purchase. This is not my favorite location, but it's the one closest to where I live.

I know I'm getting older because why am I at the department store's Clinique counter? Well, I'll…read moretell you why. I don't have to deal with the sticky teens in Sephora, the unattentive staff at Ulta, and I get to explore lots of different, quiet nooks of shopping. I got my Clinique stuff, they were having a good deal and a good gift with purchase situation, definitely worth checking out. The women at the counter were very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable about the products. Before YouTube, TikTok, and online tutorials, women learned to do makeup from the ladies at the makeup counters! It does feel special and very no-judgement. I like it there, very different vibe from Sephora. My mom shopped swimsuits while I went to go check on the Fiesta Ware stock. I've inherited the brightly-colored plates of my childhood and love them to pieces. Belk had an ok selection of 4-6 Fiesta colors. Unfortunately, a lot of my bowls and plates seem to be old models. I'd like to add to my collection, but struggling to find the old shapes! This is how they get you, I guess. I'll have to bite the bullet on some rounder bowls. Macy's also stocks Fiesta, I haven't been there to check it out. Belk is really the only department store left at The Summit! Thankfully, it's a good one!

This coffee trailer has the sweetest workers that came from Nashville and have ranted and raved about their experience and transition to Bham. I was obsessed with apple butter as a child and saw they had a signature drink with it as an ingredient. This was a no brainer for me to order and I'm glad I did. "The Eve" - toasted apple butter latter with caramel drizzle. I got mine iced. My Mom said she didn't want anything, tasted mine after we walked away and had us turn around so she could order something for herself. She ended up ordering "The Joshua" - shortbread latte with milk and honey and cookie crumbles. Hers was too sweet for me. She loved it though.

The area is very clean and during busier seasons like Christmas, the area offers police to manage traffic. I do most of my shopping online now but I love to come to The Summit as a special treat to myself because it feels like just that when I visit one of their stores or restaurants. My favorite stores here include Belk and Sephora.

I often shop Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack online. I love that I can return anything that doesn't…read morework to this location of Nordstrom Rack. Returns are always easy, and the cashiers are efficient and pleasant. I do shop this location periodically. It's about a 50/50 chance on whether the stock is orderly and organized. The worst area is usually the cosmetics and accessories (to the far right in the store). If you like to dig through the additional markdowns, it's not unusual to find items broken, sampled, etc. Same for the additional mark clothing; every once in a while those racks look more like thrift racks than clearance, but once you find that diamond in the rough it can be worth it. I do wish this location got more of the special occasion pieces, but either I always miss them or they go to different Rack locations. If you've got the time, it's a great place to find great prices on everything from budget-friendly brands to designer brands.

While I frequent this Nordstrom Rack when visiting my hometown city, I know that have need to have…read morea tank full of patience! Nordstrom Rack has discounted designer and popular high end brands that haven't sold in their Nordstrom stores. It's not uncommon to have difficulty finding assistance, finding sizes in the wrong place - specifically shoes, messy racks, clothes left in changing rooms, and a long checkout line moving at a snails pace. When shopping here I expect at least a 50% discount, but it's not uncommon to only find 25%-30% on discounted items. Even with these negatives, I've found great shoes and some clothing. I will return because I love the thrill of a good hunt!

Target run and DONE! This is my go-to Target location. Be warned: the parking deck is CRAZY. I…read morethink everyone just forgets to take off their sunglasses or something. All in all, this Target is very organized, good cosmetics and grocery selection. I usually find exactly what I'm looking for. The pet section could use some expanding. Check out lines are crazy long on weekends. Don't expect a quick trip on Saturday or Sunday. Also don't expect help from staff out on the floor, other than in the tech department. If you want more options, check out the Super Target location a few miles down 280.

I ended up buying a few shirts for spring and a few hygiene products. Their men's section was crammed full of great buys on jeans, shirts, hoodies and they even have a small shoe department. Most of the shoes were basic tennis shoes. Would be nice if they introduced a selection of shoes like Nordstrom. The shoes that were there were kind of disheveled and you couldn't easily find your size. When checking out, the cashier was very polite and talkative. She made sure all our items were bagged neatly and overall it was a very nice experience.

The Hoover location on Highway 31 has more to choose from in perhaps a smaller space and is usually very neat and well presented.

However, when any TJ Maxx has a mark down, the prices for the quality are hard to beat!! I would recommend checking them out!
