    Groom's Grotto Review…read more I knew I wanted a custom tux for my wedding day, but I had no idea where to go. The only thing I knew is that I didn't want it to look like it came off the rack of "any suit USA." After a few disappointing trips and consultations with other popular suit designers (who shall not be named), someone recommended we check out Grooms Grotto. My (now) wife and I cannot say enough about how amazing the process was with the Grooms Grotto team from start to finish. The task of building a unique look from scratch was definitely daunting because I wasn't sure how it would all come together, but I was able to choose every single aspect of my look down to the stitching and the buttons. The materials were high quality and the options were endless. A HUGE shoutout to Daiijah who helped us choose every single detail with intention! She made recommendations about what fabrics would work best together and be comfortable for our destination wedding in Cancun. She was very knowledgeable and helped us stay within a comfortable price point...and it didn't stop there. We also chose Grooms Grotto to create custom suits for our groomsmen. My guys couldn't stop raving about how amazing their first (for many of them) custom suit fitting was. Every aspect of the experience was dope - from the golf putting pad, ice cold beverages, and a bar and lounge area large enough for all of the crew to enjoy the day and just hang out while they all got measured. They also allowed me to bring in gifts for my guys and made it a cool memory for us all. The Corona location has such a welcoming environment and showed the fellas (and a couple of the wives) a wonderful fitting experience. As for the wedding day, my wife couldn't stop staring at me (she told me to write this part - lol), and the compliments kept coming for how CLEAN I was in all white on one of the best days of my life! It was beyond my expectations. I cannot say enough about the whole experience and I highly recommend choosing them for any of your custom suit needs. I'll definitely be back to step up my suit game. Grooms Grotto, you were truly a big part of our wedding journey that we will never forget!

I came in here because I wanted to see what was in this small little plaza, and I bumped into this cute little store. They barely just opened not awhile ago. The girl Stephanie who was working told me they will have more variety of prints for the custom shirts. She even told me they can do Gucci prints, Versace prints and other prints too. I was just curious because they had some out already, but they weren't in my size. I'm a size small and all they had were medium-plus sizes out. I love wearing shirts and pants in the house, so I'm always looking to buy more in other types of prints. I ended up buying a Buddha Jade pendant because it was so freaking cute, and as I get order I'm more obsessed with Jade and Gold. I asked Stephanie if she had any gold chains that can go with the pedant I was buying. She helped me picked out one, and helped me cut out this little ball that was dangling at the end cause the pendant was small. The dangling ball definitely won't go through it. She did a fantastic job even though she didn't have too. I honestly am not crafty, so I had to ask her to do it. I hope they get more items in this store. I will definitely be back. Excellent customer service for sure. Parking is not much of a problem. It's inside a small/medium size plaza, so you should be able to find parking, no problem at all.

They definitely got me hooked as a returning customer. Bachir was very patient with me and made sure to address all my wants and concerns for what I was looking for and yet wasted no time finding the perfect fit for me. Whole process from in to out the door couldn't have taken more than thirty minutes, and that was with juggling with a second customer. You can see how talented and passionate he is about his craft. On top of that the pricing is very affordable. I paid for a full outfit (jacket, shirt, tie, handkerchief, pants, shoes) and tailoring for less than what I was prepared to pay for the suit alone. Tailoring was also very quick too - even offered to get it done same day which is amazing for those needing a last minute outfit. I'll definitely be coming back for when I need more suits. Highly recommend!

    Solus Clothing is truly hidden gem in Norco!…read more This store is always stocked with workwear. Let me preface that this place is very affordable. The selection of brands include: Dickies, Ben Davis, Carhartt, Allstyle, Pro Club, Shaka, Obey, HUF and many more. You'll find some streetwear items sprinkled here and there as well. They have a single fitting room to try on clothes with a mirror. The staff do not greet you here. They also don't really go out of their way to help you out. From my experience, it seems like it's really just one worker most of the time. Their exchange / return policy is very weird as well. Keep that in mind when shopping here. You definitely want to try on the clothes before you buy because of this. It's definitely a cool little spot to pick up some essentials for your wardrobe. Check it out if you have the time!

    My family and I stopped by yesterday after passing this place all the time. We wear a lot of…read moredickies, volcom, Levi's. etc. so l wanted to check out the prices and selection. As we were walking in, there were a couple of men walking out, saying bye to the guy at the register. No one greeted us, but I didn't think much of it at first. There's a decent selection of sweatshirts, flannels, work pants and some T-shirts. However, there were quite a few unmarked items with no price tag or signage on them. I also found a visibly stained/damaged white shirt hanging with the women's basics and some boxes with unpacked merchandise right under the racks. Kind of a messy vibe especially when it's a tight squeeze between the racks. We were the only 3 people in there-me, my husband and our kid. After about 5 mins the music shuts off and it's dead quiet in the store. I thought maybe the guy sitting at the front was just changing music but he just left it off. It was kinda weird, it felt like he was trying to listen to us to be honest BUT again I didn't think too deeply about it, Kept browsing. We got closer to the register to look at the clearanced tshirts. I glanced over at the guy at the register, I had some questions but when I saw that he was sitting at the counter with his hand up to the side of his face as if to send a message "don't bother me", I changed my mind. It started to feel very intentional that he turned the music off and literally seemed to be hiding his face from us, standing 5 feet away from him. He Didn't say a single word to us still, didn't even look in our direction. The vibe was so weird my husband and I were like ?? Let's just leave. We said "thank you" walking out, and he didn't even bother to look up or respond. After this experience I looked up other reviews because I couldn't shake the feeling that something was way off, and realized the same "rude guy" who's consistently mentioned in these bad reviews- is the same one who ignored us. Tbh I don't think this place is interested in EVERYONE'S business if you get what I mean. It seems there's some deeper issues going on here. I unfortunately now think it's important to mention that not everyone in my family is white or white-passing. I only find this to be interesting because the two men who were leaving the store and were chatting with the same guy- were either white or white passing. Idk if that has anything to do with why our experience was so bad but there are other reviews that seem to suggest it's very possible. Edit: My 6 year old also just informed me the employee was giving him dirty looks in the store. Idk wtf this guy's issue is but it's actually shocking the store is still in business. I guess only some customers get acknowledged and others might get either profiled or ignored completely. I guarantee there are better options nearby where the community can spend their money.
