INVENTORY: The inventory is minimal, most of the store looks unfilled. This is a good destination for winter attire like coats, boots, hats, and mittens. Because really who knows where to find their winter stuff?! The store has a great selection of pretty cheap and quality shoes. There is a bunch of seasonal decor for Halloween and Christmas. All the ghost stuff is adorable. STORE: The store is never crowded so you can really wander around not constrained. The store tends to be clean and well organized. SERVICE: The service is okay. The lines are pretty congested and always have one attendant creative a very slow experience. Staff aren't very attentive or supportive, ask clients to remove their own hangers from the merchandise. I infrequently visit this store due to more expensive and more modern clothing inventory at other local stores. I will soon shop for coats and boots though due to incredible deals.

It is a very spacious store with ongoing discounts and ample inventory. Service is average, with much to be desired. Forman Mills has a discounted program to add more savings to your shopping trip. The store is not crowded on most days, very easy to shop at. If you find joy in looking for treasure and have time, it's a great place to look.

Very affordable shopping sprees for the whole family. They not only carry brands like Fruit of the Loom but also Lucky Brand, Nike, and Adidas. Sometimes they get in hypoallergenic laundry detergent, too. The store is very organized & the employees do a great job when there are long lines.

Pro Tip: Browse sales racks for garments as low as $3-$5 located at the back of the store…read more I frequently stop by Rainbow Shops for basic pieces (bodysuit, tees, dresses, and leggings). I stopped in this weekend and found quite a few cheap statement pieces. Overall, it's always an okay experience with mediocre service . The store carries a wide variety of affordable clothes -- especially great for anyone shopping on a budget. That makes the place hard to maneuver due to many racks in the store. You can find women's clothes, shoes, lingerie, accessories, and jewelry. The quality is not the best (some pieces look and feel very cheap), but you can find some fun fast fashion pieces. The store has ample plus size inventory (usually up to 3X). It's surprisingly more extensive than other stores. Most of their clothes are designed to fit plus size bodies very well (especially leggings and dresses). I always shop in size 3X and generally find everything that I need. The store is conveniently divided into plus size and regular size so it's easy to navigate by size. Although you won't find both having the same pieces, they're different collections. There are a few downsides. The fitting rooms are always closed, definitely something to keep in mind if you're unsure about sizing. You have to check in any bigger bags. Many of garments are hanging very high up and out of reach, you must ask an associate for assistance. Some of your items are non-returnable (such as bodysuits). Return process in store seems like a chore based on observations. The store hours appear to be fluid, sometimes posted on the door. The store is in the area that borders questionable part of the city. All in all, if you're looking for basic fun clothes at a good price and don't mind a little digging, Rainbow in Shaker Heights is worth checking out.

This is the place for simple monochrome clothing and accessories. Their employees are nice, and that's why the rating isn't a 1 lol. In fact they're enough to drag KSNY up from a 1 star (for the pricing and products) to a 3. So bravo for wonderful employees.

Great jeans and awesome service…read more I have been putting off buying jeans because it's hard to shop with 3 young kids especially to try on clothes. After searching online for pants and knowing I needed to try them on I decided to give the buckle store a shot. I was immediately greeted and started looking around. A lady came over and I explained what I was looking for and she was very helpful pulling my sizes and selections. Within a few minutes I had a whole fitting room laid out with my requests. I was able to quickly try them on and she went back and got different sizes and items as I needed them. Going shopping with kids can sometimes be hard especially when you are trying on clothes but she was so helpful that I was able to get what I needed quickly!

It's similar to Hot Topic, but I would say less main stream and more tailored towards the direct fan base. This one is located within the North Olmsted Mall, and it's definitely a place to checkout. They have a huge section of Loungefly bags too, so if you're a collector, definitely stop by here. Honestly, some of the cutest bags I've ever seen! I had a fun time searching through the stickers by the register and of course hitting the clearance section! The store associate was very nice as well, a bit awkward, but hey, aren't we all?

I picked up the item he wanted me to see. Then promptly got lost while browsing. Staff (2 ladies) that I spoke to were cheerful, helpful, and friendly. Store crowded with merchandise, but neat and organized. This pretty much turned me 180 on my Big Lots opinion. Do all North Olmsted stores suck? Answer...YES. So far, any Rocky River store that exists in North Olmsted wins hands down.

My most recent trip landed me with 3 pairs of Dearform Slippers for $5 bucks each! Hello early Christmas shopping! If you're going to do some painting on your home, I check out their hardware section for cheap paint tape, rollers, pans, and brushes. If you're getting in the mood to decorate for the next up-coming holiday, you can be Big Lots has stuff to get you your decorate on. Stop by, check it out, I bet you won't leave empty handed.

But that was in the mid 90's before emo or eighties nostalgia were born. They used to have really unique rockabilly/goth clothing and shoes. And they used to have cool toys and even some vinyl rock singles. Now this place is just shirts with every Nintendo character ever( even Karnov) or every 80's cartoon character ever( even Silas Greenback). Don't get me wrong. I love all that stuff. But there used to be more variety in their wares,and not such a desperate attempt to capture the fancy of some Journey-listening, tube sock-wearing 18 year old. One thing over the years that is consistent is the help. They have always been friendly and super-enthused about working somewhere that isn't the food court. I say 3 to 4 stars for the Hot Topic of the 90's, but only 2 for the new millenium model.
