On a Monday evening, there was a decent amount of foot traffic in this mall. Though the mall walker…read morebrigade was out in force and two securit guards were also on patrol. About ten percent of the stores were closed, but the rest were open for business, including a large number of kiosks for jewelry, accessories and phone repair. Huge parking lot and a number of entrances. The mall is shaped like a very tall "Y" with Target and Keating furniture at the top, JCPenney and Scheels at the bottom. I think the best and easiest entrance is at the south end next to Scheels and then you can go up one end and down the other. Easy. [Review 10607 overall, 375 of 2019.]

As a new mother, I went into the mothers room to nurse my son. I was in there about 20 minutes when…read moresomeone saying they were from security came banging on the door, screaming and demanding I open the door. I was terrified by the sound of the voice and how aggressive it was. I covered up and opened the door to a women in normal clothes, and she realized I was actually nursing my son and she got all sheepish and said something about the lights being off in the bathroom (a different room than the nursing room) I was so scared because for all I knew, it was some crazy person banging on the door and I'm alone in the room holding my newborn son. Apparently there was a report of someone doing drugs in a family restroom (and they checked the nursing room too I guess). I would have been far more understanding if security told me they had a report of drug activity in the bathroom, rather than the weird light excuse. I spent a long time thinking about how impractical that was and how I can't even use the nursing room then if I have to worry about the motion lights of another room or I will get security screaming at me. When I called mall security about the problem, the woman was rude and didn't even apologizing for scaring me and my son when we were doing nothing wrong, saying she was just doing her job, which I understand but it was just not handled appropriately at all. All I wanted to do was feed my son in private. I am very nervous about using the nursing room in the future after this incident, but I appreciate the mall general manager for hearing my complaint and offering to talk to security about how to appropriately deal with issues regarding the nursing room which should be a relatively calm space for a baby and mother. Would be a one star review if not for her, will definitely change back to a one star if I ever experience this again though.

I was approached by a sales associate and I told him that I was looking a new pair of Keens shoes. I indicated that I require a shoe with a wide width, and then indicated if the display does not indicate wide widths we don't have them. I then asked he could please check your store to if by any chance you might a pair on the shelves. He told me if they are not indicated come in a wide width you don't have any on hand. I then asked if could order a pair me on and have sent to my house as on some my prior purchases of this brand of shoe, his response was that was to online and look for what I wanted and order them myself. It appear if my sale was not going to be a quick sale or if was not one the youths purchasing back to school shoes, he was not interested in helping me. Now we are told to support our local businesses, but if this the kind of service we are going receive we might just well go the big box stores.

Much like the Dicks or Academy chains I've seen elsewhere, but in the size of a Walmart Supercenter. Clothing, kayaks, more fishing equipment than I knew existed, guns both long and short, and lots more clothing. Four different associates asked me if I needed any help, which I did not. I did see some underlayer stuff that would have been great for keeping warm, but many did not have prices displayed and the ones that did were expensive. The store is full of merchandise. Every display is well packed and it's all put way, stacked or fluffed properly. Nothing on the floor and nothing untidy, which is likely because I ran into the manager twice as I walked my circuit of the store. One entrance to the outside and they have another into the Kirkwood Mall. [Review 10606 overall, 374 of 2019.]

After checking several different displays and the clearance area, I decided to go without. If you're looking to fill a wardrobe, then this would work. If you're looking for just one quick item, perhaps not so much. [Review 10760 overall, 528 of 2019.]

Next, this JCPennys has Bismarck's only Sephora. Although I'd love a big Sephora, this mini Sephora does the trick! The guest service is meh. It is okay. Hence, the 3 Stars given. Sometimes the employees just stand around and joke around with each other when clearly there's a line building for checkout. Sometimes there's nobody around to ask for assistance. Overall, this place is well maintained. This JCPennys has been an anchor store of the Kirkwood Mall for forever, so it's kind of dated. It would be cool if it was revamped a little. It is clean and spacious. I'll always look for the deals here!
