I was so glad that I did a recent visit. My previous time dropping in was a complete mess…read more Apparently they took a lot of notes because they massively improved. First of all, their underwear area was a complete disaster the last time I visited. The floor was completely covered in bras, almost piled up to my knees... I was very confused like I must have missed the apocalypse. This time I was able to really see all of the merchandise! It was laid out so nicely on racks. I swear they used to have carpet... all I know is that it was smooth concrete, so easy to walk around and I don't have to dig through things to find my size. This isn't a bin situation. They also rearranged the shoes and the aisles do seem a touch smaller there which, as far as complaints go, that is a small one. It was also nice that their sizes and the way each of the racks are marked seemed way better. I am a sort of odd sizing and ladies, can we discuss for a moment a few key things. Those of us with substantial breasts... why do all clothing manufacturers want to put a billboard of some type on our chest? And since I am a larger size now and older... it's nice that you want to allow us to show off parts but everything is either a tent or I'm practically naked. And, stop making clothing for larger sizes with material that has zero give. I'm going to rip it even just trying it on! I did find several amazing dresses though that were just perfect... showing off the curves without horribly uncomfortable material. You can always tell the trends happening while going down. The line waiting for a register. This season we are into cloth bandages, obnoxious swizzle sticks for your drinks and pickleball which I am so exhausted hearing about.

Sometimes I'll stop at Fred Meyers if desperate, but this Freddy's is just too big for me and you can't just run in and out. Also like The Backyard Garden Shop which has great selection of fun and unique yard art, bird feeders, plants and so much more! There are lots of ethnic restaurants in this square. Here are a few: - Tour Les Jours, the French Asian bakery adjacent to Traders always has a crowd, people enjoy their savory and semi sweet pastries. next door. - Tehroon is the first Persian restaurant I visited in Portland area 22 years ago and I've been back several times. Get the tender & delicious lamb shank! - ChimcKing is popular for Korean fried chicken. - Friends of mine love Nothing Bundt Cakes, they sell both large & individual size plus mini buntini's - Birrieria PDX has a cart and outdoor eating area next to gas station - Pho Van for Vietnamese - Thai Aspara has lots of tasty options, i usual do take out - Starbucks - Koba Grill for Korean BBQ - Monkey Subs for sandwiches - Gyro to Go - Potbelly Access from SW Canyon or Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy and an easy exit off 217, it's a popular area. Even a few gas stations including Fred Meyers Gas where you get discounts. And surrounded by even more stores and restaurants.

First, you need a pass to shop here, if you do not have one, you will be disappointed, no entry, no exceptions. Second, everything in the store is 40% off, with the exception of selected items which will be marked. Third, the store carries all products that Nike offers, clothing, shoes, sports equipment and more. Free parking, about 25 minutes from Portland. Definitely worth the visit of you like Nike looking for great deals.

Great for Shoes, Not Much Else…read more First off, this employee store is much harder to get into than the Columbia or Adidas employee stores. It's pretty rare that I get a pass -- usually it's through my 107ist membership -- so I end up going maybe once a year, if that. On the plus side, there's plenty of parking and the store itself is clean and well organized. The clothing selection is definitely trendy... maybe too trendy. It feels geared more toward teenagers and young adults. I've visited a few times now and honestly haven't found any apparel that interests me. A lot of it comes off as flashy. I was hoping to see more outfits tied to big events like the Winter Olympics or the World Cup, but while they did have a few jackets and pants, they were pretty boring overall. The real draw here is the shoes. About half the store is dedicated to footwear, and there are some really nice options. Most shoes are around 40% off, with the non-discounted pairs clearly marked. Prices on display shoes usually range from about $145-$220, so you can do the math to decide if it's worth it. Even with discounts, many pairs still start around $80 and go up from there. Clothing, on the other hand, still felt overpriced even after the employee store markdowns. I've been here three times now and still haven't bought a single thing. In comparison, I've purchased multiple items at other brand employee stores. That said, if you're already planning to buy Nike shoes, this can definitely be a solid deal. One standout positive: the employees have always been very friendly and helpful.

There are departmental store like JC Penny, Macy's, Nordstrom and a huge Dick's store. Few other unique places to me were Din Tai Fung and 85C Bakery Cafe. It's popular destination for tourists' shopping since there's no sales tax. The common spaces are wide, clean and have lots of open sky windows. There are plenty of sitting spots available as well for guests. We were in the mall for about 5 hours. We shopped in the Lego store, Tumi, VS, Dick's, 85C Bakery, and BoxLunch. We had friendly interactions from staff members in the all the stores. We also went to the food court on second floor, which was underwhelming compared to rest of the mall. The dining space had old tiles on the floor, the chair and tables were basic ones. There were 10-12 stores available offering a variety of cuisines. The food was decent from couple of stores we tried. Prices were little bit expensive. Overall we had wonderful half day spent shopping and dining at this mall. There was a good mix of popular and luxurious brands, offering wide range of products. The food court could use some facelift to match with rest of the wonderful interior of the mall.

It's part of the joy of shopping. This is one of the few Macy's left in our area, and I shop here to support brick and mortar stores.

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!

I usually park a little ways out to avoid the congestion. On this particular day, I left home 15 minutes earlier to meet friends at a restaurant on Walker Rd. After lunch, I was planning on joining a friend at the gym. I had lost my lock, so I wanted to pick one up on the way to the restaurant. I didn't have a lot of leeway, but I thought this would be a quick in and out. When I entered the side entrance, I saw a cashier, and I thought that would be perfect for checking out on the way out. I was having a hard time locating the Hardware section. I didn't see anyone to ask..so I just wandered in a direction I thought it would be. I finally found the Hardware section, but didn't see anything saying locks. Again, no one to ask, so I wandered the aisles. I finally found the combination locks. I made a beeline for the cashier I saw when entering the store. There weren't any customers in her area, she was having a conversation with a fellow employee. I walked over to the counter and the other employee left. I saw a closed sign on the counter, so I asked if she was closed, and she said yes. So I started to walk away to search for an open cashier. As I started to walk away, I looked back and there wasn't a closed sign on the register on the other side. So I asked her if this side was open and she said yes. So I said, OK. And she asked me "what was that?" And I said, "OKAY!" Why didn't she let me know that she could help me on the other side?? And the way she asked me, "What was that?" Was said with an attitude. So I said "OKAY" with an attitude back!

It's a mixture of Dollar Tree, Daiso, and Miniso so you can find clothing, merch, accessories, skincare, games, toys, candies, snacks, etc. While there are lots of things, I found some things to be more costly. Such as in the electronics section. While there's a huge variety, I feel like it's a few dollars more than other places. Some keychains and that type of items were a bit more than Daiso, for example. However, they have some good deals on certain things so I would def. drop by from time to time. I got some Korean sheet masks that were reasonable in price and it was very fun just browsing as there was a lot of things to see! It's full of things that I love :)
