Upon walking into the store, the staff is incredibly friendly. The only thing a bit odd is that it smells like cigarette smoke throughout the store. I believe that is their signature incense but the first couple of times I visited, I assumed that there were people in the back room smoking. The layout of the store is easy to navigate and the minimalistic approach to their displays is a welcome change from your typical overwhelming shopping experience. Rather than display every size they have in every style they offer, they only display one size of each style. I appreciated that because it made for a much simpler shopping experience. Additionally, their sneaker selection is amazing. Every time I go in, there are a few new styles to look at. This is probably my favorite spot for finding some cool sneakers. We will continue to go back to the store for their unique styles, incredibly helpful staff, and amazing selection of footwear.

I cannot say enough about how positive all of my experiences here have been, and how well the employees have treated me, as everyone else I've recommended this awesome boutique to. Manager who often wears a headband is extremely professional and kind, and I love the tall guy too! Awesome service, selection, and great sales frequently. 10/10.

It's so easy to pack due to the frame that keeps it open. I loaded 3 compression packing bags, my iPad, and still had room for more! And, it's not over-sized! The front clasp is appreciated to keep it in place. The color is exactly as depicted in the Portland Gear website. Generous lower front pouch too. Love this backpack!

Online clothing puchase advice:…read more I own several Portland Gear bags, but use caution when purchasing their clothing online. Think about trying to find it in the store to try it on. They are not friendly about returns. I'm sure it makes sense on the accounting side, but between shipping and returning 2 t-shirts, I'm almost $20 out-of-pocket. I rushed things and didn't take the time to go into the store because I was leaving for a trip. But they didn't ship in time for the trip and when I got back and tried them on the t-shirts were cut in a way that almost looked like mock turtlenecks. I guess the 80s are back. So leaving this here for others in case they think Portland Gear uses the same ecommerce return policies as others. If you don't like your purchase, be prepared to recoup only some of your cost.

Shopping in Beaverton, Oregon…read more.. After visiting the Oregon Zoo, my niece and I did some shopping because there's no sales tax in Oregon! We went to Kohl's for their Clearance items, clean environment, and convenient restroom. I went to the Sephora department and found the product that Alyssa Liu uses from the Rare Beauty line. Yay! Got it! My niece got some boots, a puffy jacket, and some other basics. I think she got some great deals and we got the Kohl's cash to spend later! Thank you!

Typically the only reason I go to Kohl's is when a great sale online catches my attention and I do…read morean in store pick up. It's not the type of store I visit to browse, see what's available, and make a purchase like I do at Marshall's or Macy's. There just aren't enough items that match my fashion or home style plus the prices are higher than the quality. Kitchen appliances are a different story. Often when I am seeking an item and do a search for best price, Kohl's ranks up at the top. Even better than Amazon at times. Case in point, I wanted the NutriBullet 900 and Kohl's had the best price around so I purchased online, using coupons found online, and did an in store pick up to avoid the shipping cost. I'm recovering from a major surgery and couldn't find a friend to pick up the item. I called customer service and explained the situation, said I could drive myself there but it would be a struggle for me to get out of my car and walk inside to retrieve the item since I'm using a walker. Delora was wonderful! She told me to call the store when I arrived and someone would deliver the item to my car, not something they typically do as their pick ups are in store. I was so grateful! That's fantastic customer service. Thank you, Delora and Kohl's!

The employees were polite and mostly just worked on whatever projects they were doing while still greeting people and answering questions.
