My husband and I went to the Pembrook Corners Shopping Center to go to Caribana Island Bar & Grill…read more We had a really nice time at this restaurant and highly recommend that you go and try it. Pembrook Shopping Center also features Vitalant, Cho's Cleaners, Mama K's Pizza & Grill, Harbor Coin, Nailtique, Removery, Comfort Dental, Kumon Learning Center, and Jimmy John's. It is conveniently located across the street from Six Flags Great America. There is plenty of parking. Have fun at their many shops.

First time to this Navy Exchange store!!! Has an abundant amount of Navy clothing items,…read moresouvenirs, hats, water bottles, keychains, lanyards, mouse pads, pens, etc. Good selection, prices are kind of pricey, which is expected. Sizes are limited for certain types of clothes, though. Like the Navy emblems, logos and signs. Good customer service representatives working there. Parking can be a hassle, though. And it can get pretty crowded in there as well. So, please be aware of that.

Love it great deals for the navy family I will definitely come back one day , the jewelry ladies…read morewhere so professional and nice ,

I have stopped shopping in this mall because of the number of aggressive panhandlers and transients…read morethat solicit shoppers in the parking lots and near the entrances. It is posted near the entrances that no soliciting, etc. is allowed. I noticed that this activity seemed to increase after a clinic opened in the mall. I hope that the management does something about this activity on their private property because otherwise it is a good shopping center.

This NEX is located off-base, anyone could enter. If you're…read moreheading here for graduation tickets, don't let the line scare you (there were approximately 200 people in line. We showed up at 10:40, stared at what looked like a mini Navy deployment, and were inside within 30 minutes. The line moves faster than expected, so it was a quick in-and-out mission. Lots of Navy merch which was cool. Now, if you're on the hunt for a "Navy Mom" apparel, may the odds be ever in your favor. Those things disappear faster than free samples at Costco!! Plenty of Navy Dad, Brother, and Sister gear still hanging around, but the Mom merch? Practically an endangered species. A bonus for all my fellow introverts: they've got self-checkout lanes, so you can scan your own stuff, avoid awkward small talk, and be on your way like a retail ninja!!

Another visit to this NEX store! Picked up our Navy Boot Camp Graduation Tickets for 11/14/24…read more Didn't wait long to get them as there were no people in line, so we were in and out of that section quickly. We then browsed around the consumer section to see if they had anything new compared to the last 2 visits.... Didn't really see much inventory that stood out. Same ol' hoodies, Sweatshirts, t-shirts, keychains and water bottles. Saw some Navy UA Hats, but were the fitted sizes. Prices were still a little high. This time around, purchased 2 water bottles and a leather wallet. First two times, we bought a whole bunch of souvenirs, so we mainly looked around this time for anything new in store.

The Nike Clearance Store at Gurnee Mills is basically a playground for sneakerheads on a budget…read more Everywhere you look, sales!!!! Racks of discounted hoodies, shoes calling your name, and that one pair of Air Jordans whispering, "Treat yourself." It's like Nike decided to throw a clearance party and your wallet got an invite. Buy those shoes.... you sacrificed 9 weeks from the outside world,, left home, worked hard, obeyed your RDCs, got beat, persevered..... you absolutely deserve it!!!

Shoutout to Jesus for helping me select my first official running shoe ever. Came in thinking I…read moreknew what shoe I wanted, was persuaded to buy a different pair. And honestly, super happy I left with the pair Jesus recommended. Running my first 8k this Sunday and I'm excited to see where my vomero 18s take me, and how fast. Jesus, thank you!
