I needed a last minute gift and this was the closest boutique open on a Sunday. Painted tree provides a space for numerous boutiques to display and sell their items. The boutiques are neatly organized and their names displayed. Prices vary, often being very reasonable. Some boutiques share their website information as a place to find additional products. It was easy to find a gift here. If we were not pressed for time, I would have stayed longer to visit all the boutiques. Check-out was a little slow. The employees working the check out counter were friendly and helpful. They even wrapped the gift in tissue paper for me. Overall, great place to shop for a gift or for yourself!

It truly feels like a hidden gem! Their selection is beautiful and thoughtfully curated, with everything from modest tops, abayas, and dresses to thobes and an incredible variety of scarves. Honestly, the scarf section alone made me feel like I was back in Nablus! The quality is excellent, the styles are elegant yet practical, and the atmosphere in the boutique is so warm and welcoming. It's rare to find a place that blends tradition and trend so effortlessly. Highly recommended to anyone looking for modest fashion that doesn't compromise on style. I'll definitely be coming back!

Myself and another lady were trying to find certain sections and asking other shoppers. It was hard to find what I was looking for at a decent prices despite the "sales" that were posted. I settled for what I could find and left. Luckily the line was not too long for check out so that was not an issue this time, but I wonder if the check out girl can talk? Not a fan of this location due to limited choices and high prices even with a "sale".

Blown off by associate or mgt when I requested they could open a third register.

My fiancé went into this store to look around for the 1st time. It was a cold day so I stayed in…read morethe car. When he returned he said, "It's REALLY good you didn't come with me into the store!" I asked what happened. He told me an unleashed aggressive dog was standing directly inside the entrance and loudly snarled and growled at him as he tried to enter the store. The female owner of the dog&store told him the dog was a "rescue" and that it didn't take a liking to men. I have documented allergies to dogs and also fear them for their unpredictable nature as what happened when he casually walked into the store. It's a shame because he probably would have bought me something warm to wear if the dog had not been there growling at him. Also, I only buy second hand from smoke&pet free homes/stores. *Message to management: I've never owned a clothing store, but I've worked at one. It's very important for customers to feel safe and welcomed when trying on clothes and window shopping. In what world is it considered civilized to have an unleashed, untrained and aggressive dog positioned at the head of the store? You are actively discriminating against men shopping at your store by bringing this dog to work. Men like to surprise their girlfriend or wife or mother with something nice to wear from time to time. If you don't have liability insurance for potential dog bites when a man enters your store it might be time to get some. Or, better yet, just install a modern security system and leave your aggressive dog at home or bring it to a shelter. You will be doing the city of Raleigh and it's citizens a favor.

I know both are highly coveted brands so I wasnt surprised. The store was steady and shelves were packed. I had wandered into Ross right before (realizing I was in the wrong store) and was pleasantly surprised by the substantially larger selection at TJX. The store had lots of bins in the aisles, for product needing to be put on shelves, so it made it harder to maneuver comfortably around the store and around other guests. I was almost ready to leave empty handed, when I wandered by the toy aisle, then I hit the mother load. I walked out with cabbage patch dolls, frozen 2 toys and Outdoor sand toys. Tj maxx, you have made a 2 year old girl very happy for her birthday!

The only problem was the shoe was not available at the location, Amanda,Jemeisha, and Jasmine assisted me in placing the order. They literally scanned the barcode of the shoe, made sure it was the correct item, printed a list of the stores that had the shoe in stock which was only two in the entire country, and helped me track down the shoe! I am so grateful for this team and all of the effort they put into helping me put my perfect outfit together. Also, if you need help with styling and outfit, I have worked with Jackie at this location who is also phenomenal. I cannot say enough nice things about this store. Even the merchandising team is pleasant to work with, and they ensure that the prices are correct. If you are looking for a place to buy the perfect outfit, buy housewares, buy fragrance at a really good price, I would 100% recommend this location.

After leaving a close by store that had amazing customer service, the lack of employee interaction with customers was really obvious. Not sure if Kirkland's is big on customer service or greeting people - if they are, they flopped. If not, then well done! Three stars for being an average home decor place.

I did not have time to really go further, and almost got trapped in the clearance Halloween section before making it to checkout. If Ollie's has any flaws, other then it feeling like a thrift store, it would be that the carts can't go outside. Having to haul a large coffee maker box and my bag out to my car was a bit of a feat! Also the lady who checked me out seemed nice but was really put out when I asked for a membership card.
