I was in shock and intervened asking 'what is going on' the associate continued to yell and approach the patron, and asking the patron her name as the associate was going to report her. It was quite shocking Unfortunately, I have seen poor behavior from some (not all) associates here over the years. Another time a patron was shopping and had a pile or clothing on the counter - then she asked to use the bathroom (she was not done shopping, but needed the restroom). An associate told her she could not use the bathroom unless she both something. The poor woman had to leave her future purchases to find a restroom elsewhere And - I asked one if I had Talbot rewards, and was told they do not have to look them up and will not honor them Whoever runs this store needs to get a firm hand on the associates, as I will not return until they do And - if anyone knows how I can report this associate to higher ups, please let me know

Adorable little boutique in Colional Williamsburg. The boutique carries flats, wedges and heels in a variety of shoes and boots. Jeffery Campbell, Sam Edelman, Seyshelles, and Unif are everywhere. Clothing styles vary from Mink Pink, Unif and Sugarhill to Dolce Vita, with easy to wear dresses, skirts, jeans and sweaters that are as unique as the shoes. I have four daughters, each has a distinctive style of their own and The Shoe Attic is a boutique that we all enjoy! The owner shares her passion, as she gives styling ideas with shoes and clothes, as well as being very nice. The overall atmosphere is friendly and enjoyable. My current favorite shoe is a red boot by Seyshelle, paired with leggings and a black Unif top. I will be back! I have only shopped on the website once, however it was easy to use. read more

Great boutique! The majority of my wardrobe is from The Shoe Attic. I'm not fashion forward but Brittany is always able to help me out by picking the best things for me. I LOVE their clothes selection but the shoes are even better. They have the right selection of your everyday shoe plus the pair for a statement peiece. Great place to pick up a little gift also. The socks, candles, cups, and the amazing jewelry are all good quick gift items. I love the merchandise, love the cute owner, love the environment. Definitely worth a trip to colonial. With the new location it's even easy to stop by. read more

What an amazing find in Williamsburg, VA!! I was very impressed with all of the unique styles that were offered at this cute boutique, the selection ranged from beautifully detailed flats to elegant heels. I have purchased several shoes, as well as clothing, from the Shoe Attic, and love the quality. The store has a friendly environment and I enjoy talking with the owner about new styles that will be coming into the store. I live out of town and always stop in when I visit. All of the shoes that I have from this store are pieces of art, real showstoppers!! read more

Found this beautiful, elegant little boutique while meandering about in Colonial Williamsburg. The shoes and clothes are so unique, with something for everyone. The shop owner, Brittany, has excellent taste and an obvious passion for fashion and every item she carries. She was super patient and friendly while I tried on shoes ranging from wild to classic in colors and design. I finally settled on an adorable Jeffrey Campbell flat. Love my new shoes and love shop! Will be back every time I am in Williamsburg. read more

John Greenhow Store

One thing to understand about Colonial Williamsburg is the naming of the buildings is not by…read morecoincidence. John Greenhow was a merchant that operated a store on Duke of Gloucester during colonial days. The history of the man is as important to me as the current day store which I do enjoy browsing. John Greenhow was born in England 1724. He has been described as enterprising for the day, a real go getter. He operated a three man eight ton Schooner named "The Robert" along the James River from Virginia to Philadelphia carrying butter, pork, peas and lard to Pennsylvania. His return trips to the Old Dominion brought back coffee, chocolate, flour, bread, skillets, soap and even furniture. Williamsburg was not his only store as he operated a second location in Richmond. Mr. Greenhow passed in 1787 and is buried close to his mercantile at Bruton Parish Church. His stone is visible to this day. The present day store instills some of the old past of products like soap and housewares among lots of other items that may, or may not have been carried in the shop like home decor, clothing and even wine that seemed logical for the colonial time. Visitors can also purchase, or rent period wear. I have shopped at this store dozens of times in the past 30 years. I seem to always find something for purchase. The last time it was a few bottles of Williamsburg Winery Wine. Other occasions it's been soap which is fantastic. During Summer months when mobbed it can be a tad crowded to navigate. Staff typically is not in the floor to assist, but is more than willing to help when asked. It's no fault of their own, it's CW's staffing needs adjusted during the height of tourism. The clerks working the store are super friendly and knowledgeable about their goods and the history of Greenhow. It's fun to throw them a question, or two about the old day store. I would recommend a visit to The Greenhow store when strolling down DOG.

I'm not a shopping person and sadly I've become not much of a CW person but if you're in CW and if…read moreyou're going to shop, the Greenhow Store is not a bad place to do it. My Yelp brother JD did a great job covering the history of the man who's name is on the building. I have nothing to add other than the current store is not one of the original 88 CW buildings but it was built on the site of the original and on land that Mr. Greenhow owned. Back in the day you could easily see the yard over at Bruton Parish but FWIW this is the final resting place for Mr. Greenhow: makinghistorynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/mr-greenhows-tomb-bruton-parish.png Usually I'm in here because I've got people in my family who love the soap balls that they sell here (maybe they have them in other stores but usually I find the bars everywhere - not the balls), the vanilla beans, the musket balls and a few other odds and sods. The other reason I like to shop here is because of the one "sales interpreter" who normally works here. When you walk in he's usually at the register on the left side. He's a taller older guy who wears small round wire rimmed glasses. He's the one guy in the store who usually will engage you in sort of a quasi-in character demeanor. He's hysterical and I always enjoy seeing him and I remind him of that whenever I'm there. While this store is normally very crowded on my most recent visit we walked in to find we had the whole place to ourselves. Three employees in there with just us. After a few minutes another couple came in but that's how dead it was on New Year's Day. One brief negative note regarding that visit. While there were three sales interpreters there. Cluelessly, there was also a supervisor/manager present who kept having a little meeting with the group over in the one corner out front even though they could see that I was at the register ready to go. Experiences like that are the types of reasons people say "Never Again" to CW. It's small but it also shows you a small spot of where management's focus truly is at. That singular visit aside, normally it's a decent experience here and it's always worth a visit to see what they have when on DOG Street.

I don't think the concept that they need to sell to the customers in order to stay in business and keep their retail jobs has reached their brain yet. It's unfortunate as we are limited with local shopping options. Update: the owner of the business contacted me via yelp and we spoke via telephone regarding my concerns. She apologized for the lack of service I received at her business and assured me my concerns would be addressed with her staff. I can tell she cares about her customers and her business considering her actions and will be giving her business another try in the future.
