They mostly sell clothes and accessories and it's a decent amount of product to check out. I did find a cute journal that I know my friend would love but when I picked it up it had some kind of liquid on the bottom which was gross. Parking is usually pretty rough at this strip mall but they do have a back lot as well and usually a bit more luck taking that route. One of the cashiers here was taking her sweet time ringing up a customer and the vibe was very weird with her mean mugging everyone. At one point another staff member was walking up and asked her "why are you looking at me like that". So yeah, there's that.

I knew it…read morewas the kind of place you need time to really browse and also come prepared with a little extra moolah, since I've always heard it can be pricey. I visited about 1.5 to 2 hours before closing, which gave enough time to explore at a comfortable pace. There's a lot to see, and even after all that time, I know I still didn't cover everything. I'll definitely need to come back for a second and maybe even a third round. That said, I was surprised that none of the staff acknowledged or offered help, especially as I passed by them a few times. A simple "hello" or "let me know if you need anything" would've gone a long way. I also noticed some shelves were empty. Not sure if that's due to restocking, rearranging, or shipment delays. As for pricing, a lot of the items felt a bit out of my budget. I'd probably look elsewhere first to see if I could find similar things for less, just to save a few bucks. However, The Container Store is definitely a great place for inspiration. If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, you'll at least walk away with some solid organization ideas. I also liked the little knick-knacks near the registers.... fun to browse before getting in line. Overall, it's a cool spot to explore, especially if you're into home organization, but the customer service and pricing knocked it down a notch for me.

I happened to stop in when they had a HUGE store wide sale. I bought some storage bins for my son's playroom as well as a can organizer for the fridge and a magnet for the dishwasher.

I love how everything is color coded and wish more stores would organize like this. Every employee I encountered was very friendly and helpful. I did notice that they were diligently interactive with me after I picked up a $100 blouse- as they should be on a busy Saturday! But I really appreciated the small talk and direction from Randie, who gave me the brief on where to find everything, and the brief on the sister store Nextdoor. This store is a bit out of my way, but now knowing what they carry I definitely see myself returning here when I am feeling like I want to treat myself. As I am someone who prides in ensuring clothes don't go to landfill and trying to reuse or recycle as much as I can (I shop thrift a lot) I was very pleased to see that they take overflow items from designers. My only bummers were when I got home, the nice gentleman at the register unfortunately left one of the security tags on a sweater, leaving me to figure out how to break it off. It happens, but gosh dang! And then the same sweater had a bit of a small but obvious stain on it. And while I know it's already deeply discounted, it wasn't in the clearance section. So when I asked if they might consider anything additional on the top, he kindly explained how the store handles stuff like this and that basically there is a waiting period of it doesn't sell. Odd, but I'm sure it helps them profit, so I understand. Overall, I'll be back! What a great local spot!

This outlet is clean, well organized, and true to its name: there are some major markdowns and steals to be found! I would say this is a step above Nordstrom Rack when it comes to high-end designer finds. If that's what you're looking for, this is your spot! I especially enjoy their shoe selection and clearance area with even deeper discounts. Usually when I'm here, I'm looking for nice formalwear. If you're stopping in, be sure to check out Annex next door - same concept, but even cheaper (we're talking as low as $3) for designer/name brand items with imperfections!

Southdale has come a long way over the past few years, and it shows. The updates and renovations…read morehave made a noticeable difference, and the mall feels much more modern and intentional than it used to. There's no longer a shortage of recognizable brand-name stores, which makes it feel more like a true shopping destination again. There is a mix of luxury stores and every-day shopping which brings good value. That said, there are still a few odd, lesser-known shops scattered throughout with inconsistent or unusual hours, which can be a little confusing. The food options are decent. The traditional food court is a bit of a letdown, but there are better standalone options throughout the mall like Rustica Bakery, Pezzo Pizza, Yumi Sushi, People's Organic, and others. Having Kowalski's grocery store on-site is also a big plus and adds convenience. Entertainment-wise, there's more to do now with options like an escape room and Dave & Buster's. The mall is spacious, never feels overly crowded, and has plenty of parking, which makes it easy and stress-free to visit. Overall, the updates are a very welcome change. Southdale feels revitalized, easier to navigate, and much more enjoyable than it was a few years ago.

I'm not sure if it is for lack of workers, or if they are just slow checking people out.. but yea, I always get caught in a long line. The skin care area here is actually not bad. I do wish there was a tiny bit more organization and it was not as difficult to find what I'm looking for, but it is what it is. The Holiday decor is usually right up front, so I do appreciate that so I don't need to constantly run to the back to check that out when that is usually all I'm there for anyways.

I will say, staff didn't seem warm and friendly (ie a smile, or offer to help), but at the same no one was directly rude. I gather if you ask for help, they'd assist. I noticed by the bed frames, a sign that said they have tools to disassemble, but you had to do it yourself, which is still helpful since some places wouldn't even offer that.
