(Stores 720, 722, and 724). I had fantastic customer service from Janelle and Demetres in cosmetics. I highly recommend you seek them out to shop with them specifically when you visit the Durham, NC Nordstrom location. They are highly knowledgeable about cosmetics and men's grooming products. They can even help you continue shopping with them throughout the rest of the store so you're not wasting time looking for an associate or ringing up at the register. Love the Nordstrom customer service experience! Thank you Janelle and Demetres! I'll look forward to seeing you next time I'm in the store! Cheers!

The up side: Service was good, the coat I bought was cheap, and the store itself looks nice.

After years of not visiting this Target in the South Square shopping center off 15-501, my wife…read morereturned with me (my first time at this location) and she was reminded of why she preferred other Target locations over this one. Simply put, this Target is more like a Walmart. Our preferred Target in the Chapel Hill-Durham area is the one in the Renaissance Village shopping center. It's nicer. Target previously referred to that location as the "Durham SE" location. It's now called the "Durham Renaissance Pkwy" location: https://www.yelp.com/biz/target-durham-3 During our ordinary Saturday visit around 3:15pm, there was a panhandler outside the entrance, it was crowded, the crowd was relatively rough (inside the store and outside in the parking lot), the self-checkout line was the longest I've seen at any Target - it was so long that people in line had to make space for other customers entering the aisles to shop, and this was one of the worst Target stores (perhaps the worst) I've seen in terms of cleanliness and condition. Target has standards and this one fell below the mark. While I was able to find almost everything I needed, my wife was not. She generally loves shopping at Target and found this store to be disorganized and out of stock of several items she was looking for (e.g., beauty products). Like many girls, she takes joy in shopping at Target, but not at this location. My wife did say one cool thing about this Target is there's a mini Ulta Beauty inside. However, like the rest of this Target, the mini Ulta was in disarray. For example, several of the samples/testers were missing and those that remained were used up, dirty, and/or in bad shape. Among the things I purchased were two boxes of La Roche-Posay face moisturizer. I noticed the boxes were kind of beat up and crushed, so I checked the bottles inside to make sure they were okay. I'm glad I checked because someone had swapped a different bottle of lotion into one of the boxes. The bottle inside didn't match the box. I regularly purchase La Roche-Posay from other stores, including the aforementioned Renaissance Pkwy Target, and I've never seen that happen before. It's disconcerting and indicative of the quality of this Target. To top things off, the Starbucks inside this Target is lackluster too. You can read my review for that Starbucks here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/starbucks-durham-22 You can consider it a companion piece to this review.

Brightleaf Square is a quaint retail development located in the center of the Brightleaf…read moreneighborhood in downtown Durham. I'd call it a "shopping center," but it's not like a typical suburban shopping center. The development consists of two repurposed brick warehouses, originally built in 1904, that used to store bright leaf tobacco (that's where the name comes from). So, Brightleaf Square looks and feels historic, and that's what makes it charming. That said, the development is kind of small and there's not that much here. If you want to walk across the street to, say, Rose's or Jeni's, then yes, the neighborhood (also known as the Brightleaf District) has more to offer. I highly recommend Rose's, by the way, for their ramen and ice cream sandwiches. Strictly speaking, within the square, Emmy Squared Pizza is terrific for their Detroit-style pizza. It's among the best deep-dish pizza anywhere, in my opinion. There's also Clouds Brewing, which is a craft brewery and restaurant. Other businesses are local/boutique shops, such as Bull City Art & Frame Company and Mill & Meadow Stationery Shop, and private offices. The brick/stone walkway, old-fashioned lamp posts, string lights, trees, benches, and early-1900s buildings can make for a fun, whimsical stroll with friends and family before or after lunch or dinner. It's also a good date spot, especially if you incorporate the larger neighborhood (e.g., pizza at Emmy Squared followed by ice cream sandwiches at Rose's). For parking, I suggest parking in the surface lot at the corner of W Main St and S Gregson St. You can enter the lot from either of those streets. Pay attention to signs as you may have to pay during certain days and times. Fun fact: Durham's infamous "Can Opener Bridge" is located on the south end of Brightleaf Square. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the bridge's Wikipedia page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfolk_Southern%E2%80%93Gregson_Street_Overpass Also, watch some of the videos on this YouTube channel to see the Can Opener in action: https://www.youtube.com/@11foot8plus8 The camera that captures those videos is mounted on one of the buildings at Brightleaf Square.

I will say that security guards are numerous for the interior stores and security may have improved over the past months. Aside from this security issue, this is hands-down the best mall in the area in terms of store quality and interior design. Prices vary greatly depending on the store and what promotions are available during your visit, so I wouldn't necessarily pick this as a place to find good deals. However, you will have a great chance of finding trendy clothing and items you can actually use due to the variety of stores available here.
