I discovered this delightful shop shortly after it opened. In the 4 decades since, I have always found the selection offered there to be vibrant, tastefully artistic, and of consistently high quality. I still have shoes and other items I have purchased there many years ago, and everything's still good as new. There is an uplifting and positive vibe to the merchandise curated by Jane, the owner/buyer. This is further reflected in the kindness and courtesy of the management and staff. If you're in town visiting your university student offspring, here to attend a wedding, or whatever, I recommend adding Bonomo's to itinerary/funlist. read more

Bonomo's only carries one of each size. Clothing ranges from suits, dresses, and stylish designer pants and tops to casual shirts, jeans, sweaters, and raincoats! There is a jeweler on the premises that will custom make a necklace, bracelet, or earrings to match any occasion, or your selected clothing. There is a huge jeans and capris selection in the back that is almost hidden, but certainly worth a a peak. Coffee, tea, or water are offered, while you shop. Masks are required and social distancing is easy to maintain. I love the personal attention and pampering. This is a great shop to get a unique gift for someone who is hard to shop for. They even carry designer masks! read more

Bonomo's is amazing because of Mrs. Bonomo! She is super energetic and always wanting to talk. Her store is really neat. I am too young for the clothing (think, the rich older ladies of Blacksburg and Roanoke); however, the handmade jewelry selection is great and there are always a ton of cute Hokie gifts! :) read more

Yesterday, my family and I had hair appointments at the salon next door. One of the only parking places happened to be in front of this store. An elderly lady I deduced to be an employee (based on how she was greeting people at the door where a sale was being held and waving them inside) was standing on the edge of the sidewalk talking to a gentleman, making it a little awkward for us to enter the parking space. I believe she may have glanced at us and kept on talking, at any rate, we kept inching forward until we were basically right on top of them, as they didn't bother to step back much at all even though it was quite clear we were moving into the space. We continued pulling in, and then the employee looked up and gave us this horrified, offended sneer like she was royalty and we were filthy peasants infringing on her space (and as far as I know, the parking lot is for all the businesses in that area, not for this particular shop alone). Later, when I walked out of the salon with my daughter, the employee was walking out of the shop, and she actually paused to look at me, give me another disdainful glare before continuing on her way. WOW. I had previously planned on looking in this store for a dress to wear to a wedding I will be attending this fall, but this employee was so rude that I absolutely changed my plans. You know it's bad when the customer service is so poor that it extends to the exterior of the business. Yuck! I will be spending my money elsewhere, that's for sure. read more

I had a real bad experience here. I was looking for a dress for an important event that was coming up and decided to try this place. I was looking through the dresses for 30 min and realised no one has even asked me if I needed any help! I had questions like the prices (most of the dresses were not priced!) I looked around to find anyone and there was a lady behind the register reading a book!!! I know the store wasnt busy but come on!! Just then an employee past me and I asked if she could help me and she said she didnt work on the sales floor and she needed to go to the back to do some shipment that came in! I was desperate to buy a dress so I picked out one and took it to the register in hopes of better service and to find out the price. She found out the price and rang me up and got back to her book. Oh, a few weeks later I was talking to a freind that had the same experience last year! So I guess this kind of treatment has been going on for years and is to be expected! read more
