Customer service & a warm smile still exists at Unincorporated & that's what I love about local stores. Since my brother moved to CV, I decided to gift him the Unincorpoated T-shirt & hat. He loves it! Today I stopped by to get my daughter her high school zip up hoodie. It's great to be able to buy her High School logo hoodie off season & the owner says some of the proceeds goes back to the high school, so that is wonderful to hear. In hopes of supporting local businesses' like these, I hope Unincorporated stays afloat for years to come.

My new go-to spot for jeans shopping!!…read more Before shopping at Maple Street, I'd never had an experience trying on jeans that didn't have me on the verge of tears afterwords. That was, until I stopped into Maple Street. The owner and staff are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about their stock and how to solve common problems about fit that femme bodies run into with jeans. I've never shopped at such an uplifting, body-positive space before-- the attitude the entire time they helped me find my perfect pair was never that my body was the problem, the jeans just weren't the right cut for what I wanted! If you're looking for a quality pair of jeans picked out with the help of experts, look no further.

Overall, the trip was one of the better shopping experiences I have had. They know their stuff and pack a lot of selection in a relatively small store. The one comment I have that doesn't have to do at all with the customer service (which was top-notch) is that the website makes it look like there are fewer options in the store than you actually have (because of what it says is "unavailable for pick up"). So, I'm extra happy we live nearby and made our way in to look.
