    Been following Nola Rouge online and somehow just realized they have a storefront! Got to pop in…read morethere today and had a great shopping experience. The owner, Tina, was recording a live video when I entered, so another employee helped me. Both then helped pull items I found online and bring extras to the dressing room for me. Needless to say, I had so much fun trying on all the cute stuff. I told Tina my goal was to find cute LSU clothes to wear to the LSU game at Ole Miss, and Nola Rouge came to my rescue! So many adorable items to choose from! Nola Rouge has been open in Beauregard Town close to downtown Baton Rouge since shortly before the COVID pandemic began in 2020. Their social media presence certainly helps them stand out. They are only open about 10-2, so make sure to call first as Tina mentioned several times that she often gets there early or stays a little later to help out customers. Such great service!! And the prices are on point too. I love sales, and they certainly offer quite a bit. So check out Nola Rouge on social media, get their super user friendly app to shop, or go in person to try on all the adorable options! I love supporting local, and you can't get more Louisiana local than a NOLA born now Baton Rouge business owner.

    I feel like a have a personal shopper with Tina, she makes it so easy to find what I need.read more

    Shoe Carnival is supposed to be a fun place to shop for shoes. I've always enjoyed going to their…read morelocations in the past. My first visit to this location proves that there's always an exception. The employees seem very disinterested in their work. The man checking me out at the register was too busy talking about a sketchy person who was in the store earlier that day with another employee to actually make sure I got what I needed. The store itself was in general disarray (which is to be expected at a shoe store) but there were barely any customers when I was there. I couldn't find what I wanted in my size, so I ended up buying a different size. One brazen employee asked me rather unprofessionally if I wanted to buy socks or a belt from a large plastic tub she was carrying around. Bizarre. If you asked me, I wouldn't recommend this particular location of Shoe Carnival.

    Why I even wasted my time to get out of the car...I don't know. I pulled up at 10:55 on a Sunday…read moremorning, after leaving church. After I realized that they opened at 11, I decided to stay..maybe I can find some shoes for work. When I pulled in, there was already a father and son waiting outside the door and a few other cars parked. Okay. They opened the doors and people started getting out and approaching the door. Cool. I'm walking in...nobody says, "Hey, hello, what's up" or anything. I've worked in retail before and we were always taught to greet EVERY customer coming through the door. Strike 1. I'm browsing the aisles, looking at shoes...however not many seem to be on display. Not the Vans or Converse. (These are located on the first aisle after entrance.) Is it because these are popular shoes right now, and you don't want people to steal?? Strike 2. Then, I quickly notice how messy and dirty the store is. Wayment, you JUST opened. Why is the trash from yesterday still here? Boxes and shoes everywhere. Did no one clean before closing last night? The mess alone ran me straight up outta there. Needless to say, I doubt I'll be visiting again!
