They had a…read morefew good sales running and I'm a big fan of the brand, however, as of now NOT the customer service. I had spent nearly 400 dollars in this store in 2 trips and had a lot of items. To my surprise upon returning home one of the girl that's had rang me up (Hailey and or Chonca) had put in clothes that were not mine and had taken out two items of mine. No big deal mistakes happen it's a busy time of year. I gave them a call explaining the situation the girl on the phone was very nice and even offered to put the items they had removed on hold to help me for when I returned to the store. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have a mail back system considering I live nearly an hour and half away. Upon returning the the store about 1 week later as I had explained to the girl on the phone I would be doing. I would learn some news that was quite shocking. The first thing they had done was remove my items from hold and sold the remaining items in my size. They also informed me that they had given me the wrong receipt and couldn't verify what else they charged me for. Huge red flag for a commission based store. They were only able to take one return in the end which equals less then the amount of gas it took me to return to the store. The associate Krista who was helping me with the return clearly had little knowledge of the systems and was little to no help. All in all I'm extremely disappointed with the service and I won't be coming back. As far as I'm concerned they are crooked for not supplying me with information necessary to prove they didn't rob me of my money.

I realize heavy woman are by virtue of their being large not supposed to want decent clothing or to have any taste but if you actually make clothes for them that you refuse to offer in your stores, you should at the very least not charge them for shipping.

Material used is always extremely comfortable. Everything here can be dressed up or dressed down, your choice. I have found many lovely dresses here, on sale, too! Reasonably priced & worth every penny. Their graphic tees are also pretty cool. Every time I enter a Uniqlo, I just wanna buy every single one hahaha. Uniqlo was definitely needed at SSP. Over the last few years, the mall has been going downhill and not many shops here that have actually good quality clothing. So it was for sure an UP & has convinced me to go to the mall more often. Must visit if you're shopping around in the mall.

Now i do wish they would have shorter inseam lengths for my current taste in shorts but that's nothing a bit of thread and sewing machine can't handle! Their air t shirts are light sweat wicking and comfy to wear all day, now i personally like a bit more neck room at the color of their crews so i opt for the v-neck designs. Usually have good neutral colors to match your fit. The lady was also able to get a dress and skirt type joint and it looks great on her. The whole family likes Uniqlo really. They usually have good collaborations with pokemon, hype anime's etc and occasionally one of those items would peak my interest. All in all a welcome edition to SSP that was seemingly dying last few years like many places but seems like life has been re-injected into the mall

We'll hope for good things to come, in-store promos and more goods to come.

Clothes are seperated into guys and girls to each side, as per usual. The selection here varied immensely. I was able to find several different pieces for different occasions to try on. The shoe department is located toward the back of the store, complete with couches and decorations. It's a shame there's no age restriction in the store. . . I dodged young teens running around looking for the most scandelous tank top they could find to wear to a middle school dance and get away with it :-P The clearance rack, for once, was stocked with useful items! Surprisingly, sun dresses adorned the sale racks. . . in the summertime! Usually I'm flipping through sweaters while the sun is sweltering hot outside. The highlight of this trip was my dressing room experience. I was escorted to a room by. . . I wanna say Erin, but I'm not entirely positive on that one. The associate was extremely friendly and sociable, asked for my name and showed me the service button in case another size was needed or even just an opinion. Was almost like I had a hired "best friend" to let me know her true opinion on what I was considering buying. She was not pushy at all and was genuinely helpful in her job. There is no aerie dept in this branch, but luckily being in the mall, a seperate aerie store can be found just a stone's throw away! Very convenient.

Just your average, themed, overpriced mall store, with the occasional sale of generic "beach-worn" clothing. You have your plain navy blue tank tops selling for $25+ next to the ripped apart, "sun faded" $50+ jeans. This does not impress me. I spent most of my time in this store smelling each and every one of both the guys and girls body lotions and sprays. Most were off putting but some had a pleasant aroma worthy of purchase. A seating area with couches and arm chairs stood between me and the sales desk. Designed, I'd assume, for the chaperones of the young teens lingering around the store as a new hang out spot. I settled upon a clearance body lotion whose scent vaguely triggers the memories of having been on a long peaceful rest at a quiet beach. Forget the in-your-face scents of Spring Break after a long sweaty day of pushing through crowds and low tide. Staff was friendly enough during checkout. . . the counter area a bit cluttered with little room to form lines when it gets crowded.

If you've ever wanted to build your own radio, this is the place for you. There were also very cheap old PC components, perfect for restoration projects. There were fewer Apple components (as I would expect) but they were still very reasonably priced and in good condition for the most part. My only qualm was with the venders. For the most part they were kind and helpful, mostly nerdy in a charming way. There were, however, at least three instances where venders made very sexist, condescending remarks, such as "you should find a boyfriend who can teach you engineering," or "this isn't the place for a nice girl like you, with all these electronics!" Usually I could forgive this, and in all cases I informed them that I was in fact an engineer despite being a woman (a radical concept, I know), but in all cases, when I asked the prices of different components they gave me ones that were significantly higher than usual. I decided to do an experiment; I had my friend (a guy) go to one of the same venders and ask the price of the same component and the vender's price for him was lower (only by like two dollars, but still).

We have recently completed a major pool/patio area renovation. One of the first things we had to decide (out of so many things!) was the type of pavers we wanted for the pool apron and patio area. Our landscape/masonry company recommended Back Yard Living and Patti in particular. One can easily become overwhelmed at the sheer number of paver selections...various types and colors of stone abound. We took an initial walk through the store as well as outside where they have extensive examples laid out. We eventually narrowed things down but it was Patti who ultimately knew what questions to ask us and helped steer us to our final selection. The pavers and borders have since been installed and we couldn't be happier. We had to return to the store to decide on new pool coping. We hated the pool coping style that was there originially. There are a number of pool edges to choose from. We thought we wanted a flat edge but are happy we went with the "coastal cape design" that Patti showed us and recommended. We had a great experience here.
