It's a small shop and the inventory is limited. I didn't find any of the pieces that I wanted to check out, so that was pretty disappointing. Overall the store commanded only 5 minutes of time. I'm still a huge fan of the brand, but it seems that Macy's and Nordstrom's carry more of a selection than the actual shop. I hope they survive and even thrive, but I don't see how

The touches of Jesus and scripture are perfect and honestly make the shopping experience more enjoyable. We came on a Saturday afternoon, so the store was filled with families and lots of youth... but the displays are laid out in a way for you to still be able to navigate around the store. The prices are high, but most areas have a deal when you buy more items. The hidden gem is definitely the clearance area back by the dressing rooms. We were able to find a few dresses and tops for almost 80% off. The store is constantly being tidied up and restocked by the employees. Even the fitting rooms... which had a long line... were managed by three employees and turned over quickly!

I occasionally shop at this store, mostly for women's clothing. My household income is in a top percentile, and I think that the prices for most products here are more than what I want to spend. During my most recent visit, when I was browsing the racks of clothing, an employee walked right past me and did not say hello. Furthermore, sometimes I could not easily find price tags on products. I chose one article of clothing to buy. At the checkout counter, I waited in line for a short while. An employee kindly greeted me, made conversation, accurately rang up my purchase, and told me to have a good day.

I seldomly shop at Gap, but I decided to stop in this Gap store in Ross Park Mall. I did not find any regularly priced merchandise that I liked, but I decided to purchase two shirts that were on clearance. At the checkout counter, an employee promptly scanned my shirts and processed my payment. She kindly thanked me for my purchase. In the store, I had held the shirts up to me, and they looked as if they would fit my body. At home, however, when I tried on the shirts, one was too small and one was too large, although they were the same size. I concluded that Gap has inconsistent sizing. Well, I spent only $16 total on the two shirts, and I will donate them to charity.

The sales girl and floor manager would not listen to us and refused to exchange a pink jacket that was given as a gift online to my granddaughter for her birthday.

I got this off their website when I got home: (Returning or Exchanging a Gift Did you get a gift that's the wrong size or color? We can help you exchange it for another item or a gift card).

I'm glad to report that the great sales that I came to love the place for is still going strong. I saw plenty of Pumas, Nikes, & Adidas within the $30-$40 range and was pumped when my nephew chose a pair with a fun pattern. My love for shoes that stand out has clearly gone on to the next generation. One thing I have never liked about these stores is that the place feels entirely too cramped. They have tons and tons of displays, but the actual area to mill about and have some space to try them on is small. There were only a few other people browsing--maybe 10 total and it felt like I was always in someone's way. It seems as if they use most of the room to house shoe stock in the back. Another thing I find a little irritating is the ratio of employee to client--it's just about 1:1 ratio. Lots of bored teenage employees hovering around in your way or looking too cool for school to go and find your shoe size. Honestly, in a store this small I don't see why they felt the need to have 4-5 employees on the floor. All in all, come to this place for a good deal on a street wear shoes, but don't plan to feel comfortable whilst doing it.
