While staying at the nearby Westin, which is walking distance, I popped into Yorktown Center for…read morenothing more than wandering around a mall and maybe grabbing a quick bite from a mall food court. I was able to achieve both here! Yorktown Center and mall are the anchor of this area and have all the classic vibes of an interior mall while being surrounded by open-air shopping and eateries. Additionally, this complex also has a movie theater an a gym. So, multi-faceted and mixed used for sure. The mall has a lot of the standard mall store you expect, but they also have a good variety of smaller branded stores and even some local shops. Like any other mall right now, there were serval empty store fronts. While the shops were cool to wander through and by, I came for the food court, which is huge! Featured a solid selection of chain and local spots. The mall was clean and well kept. Worn in some places, but for the most part in good shape. Overall, solid spot to spend some time at, with or without purpose.

Another location I was torn between giving 4 or 5 stars…read more "Malls" in 2025 are hard to review as we're in such a weird space between in-person and online shopping but for what a traditional mall to me should be, I had to give 4 stars. Firstly, I appreciated that this mall is located walking distance from a big store-front shopping center, including a hotel and stores like Target and a bus stop. A circus was on tour in the parking lot the same weekend I arrived here, which I would assume would've brought more business to the mall. It seems to be a good spot for pop-up events like that. And secondly, service dogs are welcomed for those that need them. Overall I had a great experience with the stores that this mall does have, including the biggest highlight being at Victoria Secret's where the staff greeted me, gave me a post-weight loss bra fitting and great service when checking out with my new items! Vacancies are plenty-full in this mall unfortunately and specifically I want to mention Barbra's Bookstore - a small owned bookstore in the mall that I 1000000% wanted to support, mostly because they fullllllly advertised their banned book section and had tote bags for sale around the store branded with those same banned books *see pictures* , BUT - no one acknowledged me in the store & I don't appreciate that. Decent mall, decent stores, great food court (Burning Mouth being the best place) - with lounging, sitting area. There's also a family bathroom in this mall, located by the food court that is HUGE - and I'm sure helpful to mothers nursing. A family, small-oriented mall indeed!

I found some nice items but will never support this business again. Take heed of the Better…read moreBusiness Bureau "F" rating. https://www.bbb.org/us/il/lombard/profile/consignment-clothes/the-ladies-room-0654-88588623 My consignment experience was horrendous. On Sept. 21, I consigned 8 dresses including a St. John, a skirt, a jacket and a new Kate Spade bag still with tags. I was initially unsure about consigning the bag, but Angie said she was really interested/they really wanted it and I thought why not. I like to support small business. A few days later, I realized I hadn't received a copy of the contract I signed. I called and there was more than two weeks of back-and-forth: Angie would look it up and call me back, she sent it, maybe she sent to the wrong email address, etc. On Oct. 10, I finally received a screen shot of my items and the consignment prices with the contract date 9/21/24 and expiration date 11/21/24 No attachment or contract. I didn't worry much about it, and in hindsight I was too trusting. In December, I remembered the consignment. Every other consignment shop I've worked with either has an online portal to check your items/contract or has provided a courtesy call/reminder to pick up before items are donated. Clearly it was on me to remember and pick up when the contract expired. Not that I had or ever received a copy of a contract with their terms. I'm just stating what I'm used to. I don't live in the area. I drove up on a day off during their stated business hours; a sign on the door said they were closed. Went back a few days later, found them open and I arranged with Angie to come back on Jan. 24 to pick up my items. I saw several of my items on the floor and commented on it to Angie; I should have grabbed them at that point. I then had a medical issue requiring daily doctor's visits; one was scheduled for my pick-up day/time. I called and left a message that I couldn't come in 1/24 and needed to reschedule. Angie left a voice mail the next day that she had an opening the following Wednesday, if I recall. I called back and left a message that my work schedule didn't allow me to come in; requested a call back. After another round of phone tag, I emailed Feb. 2 with some open dates and times, explaining my tricky schedule with work and doctor's visits. No response. I got busy with work, family and the ongoing medical issues. Granted, again, I recognize it was on me that I didn't continue following up after the contract date (again, not that I ever received a contract) had passed. I assumed it was clear from my multiple contacts I wanted to pick up my items, and that I would get a response to my last call and email. I finally called and reached Angie on March 27. She said she was busy with customers and would call me back. She called back and told me that a few items had sold and I'd get just under $50; everything else had been donated. I told her I was angry at the lack of response when I had tried scheduling pick-up and the utter lack of customer service throughout this experience. She apologized as though she was reading a script; I felt as if she couldn't care less. She told me I'd receive my check in 5-10 business days. Needless to say, it's now April 18, no check and I'm not holding my breath or surprised. I should have heeded the prior reviewers mentioning their poor and similar experience. Lesson learned.

5 stars. The poor…read morereviews and experiences are very shocking to read because I've only had pleasant experiences with this shop and its owner over the years. I began shopping & consigning here over ten years ago. I found the experience to be convenient and extremely helpful. Catrina has great style and can find pieces that will complement your shape and aesthetic. Some of my favorite pieces were amazing finds from this shop. My fur was a GREAT deal! Several purses and accessories. Dresses and special occasion wear, too. I will say that she is very selective when selecting piece to consign and I appreciate that. I prefer to shop high quality items versus a high quantity of items. I appreciate that she will try and sell items on eBay as well as in the store to increase the odds of sale. She's always been great about supporting community efforts and has a philanthropic spirit around certain causes. If you didn't have a pleasant encounter with this store, I encourage you to return and share what wasn't to your liking. An honest conversation and an open heart can make a huge difference. I will continue to support this local shop whenever I can.

Their stuff might be from Nordstrom, but the staff's rudeness is way beyond. After an hour of searching for the vow renewal dress, I finally found "the one", but the worst part was there was no tag. One of their policies is no tag, no sale, but I thought it should be a simple fix. The fitting room staff said the process of getting a new tag could take a day or two, which might not be the case at other retailers. Normally, it would take just a minute or two, even at stores like Savers or Goodwill. She also refused to call the manager to meet me, saying there was no point because the manager would go through the same process anyway. She suggested I wander around to find him. I decided to walk away toward the front store and stopped to ask two young staff working in the pants and shoes sections to call the manager for me. They said they couldn't find the manager nearby, so they called another staff member to call him. Finally, I was able to speak with Alex, the manager. I was on the verge of tears because I was upset and stressed. This store is like a thrift store--if you don't get the item that day, you might not find it again because they don't have the same inventory as a retail store. As I mentioned, it took me over an hour to find this dress. I explained the situation to Alex, including how much time I spent, the importance of finally finding the one dress that you and your spouse love, the stress of potentially losing it and not being able to find it again if I had to wait a day to come back--especially since they have no hold policy. I was crying while talking to him, and he said he would see what he could do and walked to the back office. While waiting for the manager, I overheard giggling and mocking sounds from the two young staff I had asked for help earlier. When I turned around, they stopped but still giggled in my direction. I caught one of them pretending to cry. I approached them and took this as a teaching/ learning opportunity. I asked if they were making fun of me, and they denied it. Then I told them I saw that they mocked me crying. One girl said she asked her friend if I was crying, and her friend said yes--that's all. I told them that wasn't right because I had seen it happen quickly enough. As a teacher, I explained that that's not very nice, and they shouldn't do that to anyone because it's unkind and mean. I also told them that I believe the world should be about treating people with respect and kindness, which is one of the most important things these days. I spoke to them respectfully and calmly, without causing a scene, since they already looked embarrassed. The other staff members stepped in and asked what happened, so I explained. They moved the two young staff to different sections. However, none of them apologized. Alex returned and was able to put the tag on without any issues. He then quickly walked away, so I didn't get a chance to express my concerns. But at that moment, I was just so happy to have my dress that I chose to walk away from the stressful situation instead of letting it ruin my day. Lastly, the cashiers--maybe they're having a bad day--none of them smiled or greeted me. When I asked questions, they just brushed me off. I've never written such a long review before, but I hope the company or someone higher up sees this so they can improve the store environment and customer experience. In a world where you can be anything, be kind! That's all. P.S. Would I go back again? Maybe, because there are so many good finds with great value there. But I might have to wait a while because of what I just experienced.

It is also so overcrowded with items when you look at the clothes, you have to push really hard to make a space to look through them.. The items on the shelf are four and five deep and not the same thing so you might see something at the back of the shelf that you want to take a closer look at and you have to move three or four other items to get at it, which of course kicks up a lot of dust which aggravates my allergies. That store needs a major cleaning and a major reorganization.. They need to narrow down the items that they have put on the shelf and on the clothes rack.. when I go there I feel like I'm hunting through things in a warehouse type setting not a nice store.
