I wish this was a larger store cause I have to drive from Bryan to shop here, which is about an…read morehour and 20-30 minutes away. Sad face!
PS: though the map says this is near the Woodlands Mall, this store is IN the mall. It is currently on the second floor across from Bath & Body Works, though I think they might be moving cause it almost looks like they're packing as of June 2016.
But I still come when online sells out of what I want or when there are coupons that only work in-store.
By now you probably are familiar with Yankee; I know they've caught a lot of criticism since changing hands, but I never really had issues. And if anyone was gonna, I would. I only buy the large jars/tumblers, because I go through several in a month and my stash is usually 190-250 candles at a given moment.
I've only ever returned/exchanged like, six, and four of those happened all at once this past week. So it's good product for me ( and is not the priciest brand I buy).
This is the only retail outlet I've visited but staff is always friendly and helpful without being super in-your-face, which I LOATHE.
I love LUSH, for example, but I dread going there because every employee descends and commences to cling to you like a monkey. It's almost assaultive if you're shy or anxious about conversation, and so I'm glad the Yankee employees don't quite get to that level of 'helpfulness'.
They wrap everything securely and if I have a big haul (last time it was maybe 8 or 10 large jars) they even helped me get it to my car, so I didn't have to bring hubby to be my candle Sherpa or make two trips to the car. Nice!!!
I don't require hand holding picking out a scent anymore, but if you need ideas or have questions, they are competent (I listen to them making suggestions to others).
The return policy is very lenient; you should be able to shop with confidence. As far as price, yes, they are expensive from a simple dollars standpoint. However, they last a long time, making price per hour of use very reasonable, and there is almost ALWAYS a coupon if you go to the website and sign up.
I get them in the mail occasionally and online CONSTANTLY. BOGO, B2G2, B3G3, $15 off 40, 50 off 100, free item with purchase, all kinds of things. The coupons almost all work in-store, though some are online-only and some (rare) are in-store only.
If you find it pricey, SIGN UP for email. You can make out like a bandit! Yay for the Woodlands Mall store!
EDIT: they weren't moving, they were just remodeling. They are still upstairs across from Bath & Body Works near the food court.
