BK & Co is a ladies boutique owed by two longtime friends Barbara and Karen, hence the name of…read moretheir store. Upon walking inside most items seemed geared toward older ladies. Also, I noticed there were some very wrinkly shirts, from cotton to rayon. Maybe I'm delayed on knowing what's forward in today's fashion, but something tells me every fabric doesn't look best when wrinkly. The further I looked in to the rear of the store, the more I liked the pieces. There are some formal dresses, some purses, shoes and jewelry pieces that I would be interested in when the occasion presents its self. They also have a sale section downstairs. I might return here soon to purchase a birthday gift for my mom.

I popped in yesterday and bought some hilarious Birthday and Mother's Day cards as well as a trivia/card game.

When I first walked in, I was greeted by a security guard who checked my ID. Then a front desk person also checked my ID and she told me about the rewards program and to sign up with the bud tender. I walked up to the bud tender and she was super nice and informative; she also checked my ID, they are thorough ha! She asked what I was looking for and she explained the different varieties in depth. They had all different varieties from flowers, rolls, edibles, drinks, and accessories. They were doing a wheel of gifts; you spin and you win something. I actually won $10 off the next order but realized after the fact that I didn't get that coupon in my bag until after I left. I also forgot to sign up for their rewards card. Oh well, next time! The place was clean, spacious, and trendy. They had kiosks where you can choose your items if you're experienced and know what you wanted ahead of time. The whole transaction took about 15 minutes; quick and easy. Overall, a good experience and will definitely be back.

This store is worth checking out if you're looking for a nicer dress for a baby or a bridal shower, a birthday event or a special concert. The quality of the items is average, while the prices don't reflect that. They also have some silly knickknacks, that are cute, but can be much less expensive at other retailers. They have a large assortment of fashion jewelry, in particular earrings, they are all categorized by color. I have purchased some items here over the years. This is by no means my go to store. If I'm meeting someone in town, I'll sometimes browse through Francesca's till they're ready to meet. If I was still in high school maybe I'd be more drawn to shopping here more frequently.

The young ladies that rang us up were very nice. I'd likely visit again since the shop is very clean. A lot of second hand children shops are cluttered, disorganized, and have a strange smell.
