We actually had a destination in mind when we pulled into the lot at Independence Mall, which felt…read morelike a small victory. Mrs. K. was on a mission for a few things from Bath & Body Works, and after navigating the lumpy terrain of a Wilmington cemetery earlier, she was ready for some smooth, level walking. Having a purpose gave the visit a bit more shape, and that was welcome. Independence Mall has been around since 1979, opening in the heyday of American mall culture with Belk-Beery, JCPenney, and Sears as its original anchors. A fourth wing came along in 2001 to make room for Dillard's, and the place has seen a fair bit of redesign since then. These days, it leans more open and airy, with nods to Wilmington's coastal vibe. We weren't in a hurry, so we mostly wandered just taking it in. We ducked into a couple of shops, browsed a bit, and yes, came away with the Bath & Body Works haul we'd hoped for. All in all, a relaxed and satisfying stop. [Review 1352 of 2025 - 4471 in North Carolina - 24904 overall]

While browsing, my husband lightly touched one of the display covers. Out of nowhere, an associate named Wes yelled across the store, "EXCUSE ME, YOUNG MAN!" in a sharp, scolding tone. We were both startled because there was no clear reason to address anyone that way. My husband is a grown adult, and the way Wes spoke to him made it seem like he had mistaken him for a much younger person, which still would not justify such an abrupt and disrespectful approach. When we walked over to ask what the issue was, he avoided eye contact, muttered something under his breath, and then told us that if we didn't like it, we could leave. As someone who has worked in customer service for many years, I was shocked. A simple, calm explanation would have been completely appropriate. We genuinely enjoy shopping at Dillard's, but this encounter made us feel disrespected and unwelcome. We would have appreciated any form of clarification or an apology, but none was offered. It is disappointing to see someone so abrasive, unprofessional and confrontational representing a store we both enjoyed for many years.

Staff was really helpful, helped me with fittings and helped me look for what I needed from the shoes I was buying for. The manager I believe helped me and knew exactly what I was looking for. Store is clean, not a messy shoe department with boxes/debris in the isles. The selection was outstanding. Any kind of shoe/sandal/boot that you are looking for you will find it here and won't have to pay $100-200 a pair. Great Quality and great comfort. Love my new Skechers and will definitely be back.
