So I saw this place pop up in my FB feed somehow and was curious and decided to check it out on one…read moreof the $1 Wednesday days. Everything is $1 in the bins and there's a VIP section where everything was $20 which had some furniture and appliances. Some of the bins were still labeled $3 which was confusing but I think they were actually $1. I left with and armful of things and paid ~$9. Some things were well worth the $1, some were not. Apparently on the different days they charge a different price and have more valuable merchandise out. They have a no opening box rule but I don't think anyone abides by it because it seemed like they also had a no return rule. They have a limited amount of shopping carts available, it does get pretty packed and is difficult to move around especially with a shopping cart. I definitely saw people working in teams to load up their carts. The line gets pretty long too and sort of snakes through the bins so I sort of did a walkthrough and picked up some stuff and then waited in line and also did some more deep diving while waiting (would have been helpful to have someone in line while another did the diving). Was it worth the 40 minute drive? No, definitely not. Maybe if you're looking for the more expensive electronics, come on one of the pricier days, and from what I've read come super early then maybe. Definitely don't come if you hate crowds.

I've given this store TONS of business over the past few years & used to love it & always spoke…read morevery highly of it. But the last couple of times I've shopped at CTS, the cashiers randomly picked items that they decided "weren't priced right" and refused to sell them, telling me they would be repriced (i.e.higher) the next day & that I could come back for them. What?!?! The first time, it was a large bowl that the cashier said someone had changed tags on & she went in to tell me they've been having"issues" with that lately...she even unsuccessfully tried to peel one tag off the other. I really question whether such an "issue" exists...I mean, I understand tag switching can be an issue in retail, but who randomly switches tags and then leaves the items on the shelves for other people to buy?! My guess is that whoever tags their items made some sort of mistake and placed a 2nd tag directly over the first...I couldn't even tell there were two tags when I put the bowl in my cart. Funny enough, when I returned the next day AT OPENING, the bowl miraculously was no longer in the store. Hmmmmm! The other was tonight when I brought up several items including a sewing kit/box that was priced at $5.95. She rang up everything else in my order, and then when she got to the sewing kit, she looked it over with great interest then said it was priced too low & refused to sell it! Given that their pricing structure is usually 25% of what you'd expect to pay retail, and a new sewing box of this type on Amazon is $20, the ticketed price was right in line, but NOPE...clerk-lady said it would be repriced the next day and that I could come back for it. Ummm yeah right...wanna bet she is going to take it home for herself?! Not honoring their tagged prices is such a an odd and unfortunate way to do business, especially with some of their most loyal (and lucrative) customers. :-/

I was able to locate some of the items but I had the same problem at this location that I did at the one in Vernon Hills, no price tags. They have way too much stock to rely on items being on a shelf labeled with one amount, but multiple trays stacked on it. Then I tried to find the cash register and that was a strange setup, at first I thought I had unintentionally gotten behind the sales counter. Nope, self checkout kiosks. There were multiple strange, loud noises. I felt ancient by the time I left. I need a long break before doing that again.

I've been shopping this mall for years and it's a mixed experience for sure. It's painfully large for one thing, you need to plan ahead. If you think you want to just walk around the mall to shop... wear good shoes because it's a trek. I recommend driving to different sections to take some of the burden off yourself. Selection varies constantly. They keep a few outlet stores I like but a lot of stores I enjoyed simply came and went. There are more high priced shirt stores than any one mall needs, I'll say that. Service varies by store so quite a bit. I like the vans store, always helpful staff in there. This mall still has a rainforest cafe! Pure nostalgia and a good place to take kids. There's really plenty to eat here, and plenty to eat adjacent as well. They've got some movie screens and though they aren't the cleanest they do get some fun exclusive events too. This mall has its ups and downs for sure. It can be kind of magical to shop here during holiday time but the rest of the year you definitely should have a specific destination in mind.

I'm talking about these people when it gets to an hour and a half before closing they start reminding you every 15 minutes and then if you're there with 20 minutes left until they close they would not do anything but follow you around and it's ridiculous and horrible and you need to fix it.

We had heard they don't have fitting rooms, so we wore leggings and tank tops so we could try on over our clothes, which there are mirrors and racks around for you to do. It is a little tricky to know what something like a dress will look like with your clothes on under. The clothes are organized by style and color, and I will say the staff is on top of everything staying clean, it's not as chaotic as similar stores. Things are mostly under the wrong size, through. What turned me off the most wasn't the selection, but the fact that they are charging $30-$40 for items with giant holes or that are covered in stains. I would say 70%+ of the items were damaged, a lot of it irreparable. Even if a dress was originally $200 and you're selling it for $40, it's not a deal if the zipper is broken, there is ink splattered all over it, or there is a hole the size of my head in it. It was just a little disappointing to get excited about something and then find something was wrong with it with almost every item I selected.

Throughout the store there wasn't that many employees outside of the cashiers so there is not much to say about the service outside of check out which went smoothly.
