I guess I've never reviewed this shopping complex, but we've been here a million times over the 13…read moreyears we've lived in the vicinity. The massive area was previously the site of the Glenview Naval Air Station and this shopping center is the heart of the huge Glen residential community as well. There are numerous shops and restaurants here and it's always a pleasant experience to visit. Like Fashion Outlets in Rosemont, every time we visit there is something new here. One business or another has left and another has stepped in. The rent must be high here, and if you don't continually draw the requisite traffic, you won't survive. We've seen a lot of businesses come and go. Remember Ted's Montana Grill? - it was a favorite of ours and also one of the first to disappointingly close in our earlier years, and that's now The Oak at the Glen, and in a prime location. Some of our favorite and long standing and still standing businesses here are Von Maur, Dick's Sporting Goods, and the Yard House. I could probably name another 20 shops or restaurants we liked or tried here, but that have all since closed. Jibek Jolu is a relatively recent addition that we like for what that's worth. We were going to try Dee's Place (soul food) one day, but dang, they closed before we even got to it, and that was a big investment in a large space for that restauranteur, and too bad. It can get busy and crowded, but nicely there is alway parking to be found in one of their parking lots. Oh well, business is tough here for the tenants, but for us consumers, this is a great upscale town center.

I'm not sure what's taking me so long to put a review here for the Glenn in general. Especially…read moresince I've been coming here since they opened at least 15 or more years ago I believe. The only reason I'm giving it three stars frankly is because even in the last almost 20 years I believe that they've been open unfortunately there's been a lot of turnover when it comes to the restaurants. I'm not sure if this is simply due to high rent, but there's really nothing that the Glen or its Landlord are doing in order to provide any real stability and it's rather unfortunate. Also, since this place was built, the parking situation has always been a challenge and it continues to be. In fact, it just gets worse with all these special parking places and reserve spaces that continue on the main strip. I do hope that things get better, but with the way that it has been structured and built there really is no opportunity for expansion whether being retail and restaurant space or even for parking I will say it's been great to see the movie theater Von Maur as an example of two establishments that have been here I believed the entire time this place has been open Similar to a lot of other moles, there's a lot of empty spaces and vacancies and it's very sad especially when it's surrounded by million dollar homes in a suburb of additional multimillion dollar homes

However, as we did recently, we did visit this one as it had an item in stock that the wife was looking for that the Morton Grove store didn't. Kohl's is a chain that we shop at with some regularity as they have good values and promotions, especially kiddo stuff, and oh boy, shopping for kiddos seems to be this grandma's full time job lol. She also likes ordering items online and then picking up locally. The self pickup service is very quick, convenient, and handy. In fact, it's so handy and staff independent, I wondered if there is ever a theft problem, but hopefully the honor system works on these sort of personal items that really are't worth trying to steal. The online ordering and self pickup system has resulted in us having visited the Kohl's stores in Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, and Vernon Hills as well and they are all fine, clean, and bright stores also.

I have been shopping at Target Glenview since it opened over 20 years ago. I can say that I like…read moreshopping there. However, in the recent couple of years, I don't know what is wrong with their customer service department. It used to be friendly, polite, and competent. Now, their customer service, especially some of their managers, who are arrogant and unaccommodating, could easily ruin the whole shopping experience. Recently, a couple days before Christmas, my good shopping experience was ruined by the middle-age female staff, named Luba, at the self-checkout stations. Then it was further worsened by her manager Alex. When there was a discrepancy between the scanned price and the price listed on the rack, Luba refused to ask someone to verify the price or honor the posted price. Instead, she insisted the scanned price must be correct and told me that if I did not like the price, I did not have to buy the item. To avoid wasting time, I chose not to purchase one item and paid the higher price for another. At the end, I was supposed to get a gift card from a deal. Nowadays, for security reason, Target would need their staff to put a sticker on the gift card, then scan it to link it to my account. However, after Luba put the sticker on the gift card, she didn't know what to do. She kept scanning the gift card as if I was using it for the transaction. Her action made the purchase system acting weird. Then she questioned if I was eligible for the gift card, and got her boss to help. Her boss was Alex. I had dealt with him numerous of times. He never smiles, acting in a condescending way, had never accommodated. This time, he said that the system had stopped working, and he had to void the whole transaction and re-scan everything. Needless to say, I was not happy. I said it's wasting my time. Then he responded by saying "it's wasting my time too"! I said he got paid for it. The he mumbled something. What kind of attitude was that? He was the customer service manager who needed to correct the mistake made by his staff. When I said the female staff didn't know what she was doing, he dismissed it by saying that Luba usually does not work in that area. That explanation is unacceptable, she was assigned to assist customers at self-checkout and should have been properly trained. It would have been fine if both of them just apologized for my inconvenience, but neither of them did that. No sorry, no thank you, Target really need to re-train their customer service staff of the Glenview store to understand what good customer service is.

This big Walmart is a busy and popular one. Their parking lot is always congested, day or night,…read moreand I don't know about the weekends, but would assume the worst case, as we avoid visits here on the weekend. The store is good to have around for its convenient location factor, but we much prefer the Walmart on Rand Road in Mount Prospect as it is cleaner, has a better grade of clientele, and is relatively less congested. The community and clientele in the immediate area here is more in the typical Walmart customer range, meaning more frugal middle class, and that's one big factor that makes it a particularly busy location. Another is it's in a pretty large strip mall with several restaurants and other businesses. We'll come in if there is a particularly good deal on something, or to pick up an online order, or if we just need a little item and we might be passing by at a relatively quiet time. Today, the little items were cake pop sticks and dipping flavors. A-OK on this particular store.

The cashier questioned whether she speaks English and expressed confusion about how she could even be working--implying she wasn't capable because of the language barrier. For context, my mother works at another HomeGoods location and is an incredibly hardworking employee. She does her job well and is respected by her team, even though she doesn't speak much English. It was hurtful and unfair for her to be treated like she didn't belong simply because of a language difference. Marshalls and other companies under the same umbrella should hold their staff to a higher standard when it comes to inclusion and respect. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity--especially those who show up and do the work every day.

The whole experience makes me a little sad because one family came as we were finishing up but basically the mall was empty. Good on Santa and his helper for being enthusiastic and lively for our pictures. We walked around a little but I didn't see any other families (or dogs) lined up for photos. Shortly after I arrived home I also received a digital link for the photos -- the helper said it might take up to 24 hours for the pics but here they are. 4.5 stars

I've visited other Nordstrom locations before and have always had great experiences with polite, professional, and attentive staff. That's why this visit was especially disappointing. Customer service is one of the reasons people choose to shop at Nordstrom, and unfortunately, this location did not meet those expectations.
