Many fashionable merchandise to pick up and add to your basket. Somethings are over- priced. This retailer offers many selections of jewelry, purses and other cute accessories. There is also a ear piercing station. I took off one star due to the service. The two young ladies at the counter had a terrible attitude.

Everything is under $5 and when I say 'everything', I mean EVERYTHING. There's so much rand-O shizz here but it's all amazing (yes, all of it) and the quality is shockingly better than decent. ' 'Whoa Deals!' was my quick tip- if that gives you any insight. From the thermal tights, to the nail polish, to the laptop bags, to the sporting gear, to the padded booty underwear (I totally have a pair thx to Dana G's thoughtful self). I came in looking for one thing and left with nothing, but only because I had to go to the bathroom (#2) and it didn't look like they had a public one so I ran over to Kohl's across the strip mall parking lot and came back to Five Below to continue shopping. I ended up getting a TON of sh*t I'd been meaning to get at Target for the past year, but somehow always ended up being too distracted (by the retail pheromones I swear Target pumps through their stores) to remember. Items I can check off my life checklist? -Shower caddy -Cordless optic mouse -Night light -Puzzle -Thermal tights -Sharpies -Mini bins for makeup Magic. This store is magic. I want to go back everyday... or at lest become a total Five Below groupie and hit up all their Tri-Suburban locations. #ThinWalletWin

Consistent…read morewith a more premium experience, there were no empty shelves and all the products were neatly arranged in attractive looking displays. There were staff who asked if needed help from time to time, but this wasn't excessive so it was easy to casually browse and smell different products. As the store wasn't super busy (it seems the mall locations tend to be a lot more crowded) the overall shopping experience was more pleasant as I didn't have trouble moving between displays and the noise level was pretty good. Checkout time could have been a bit faster but this wasn't too bad.

AROMATHERAPY The…read moremyriad candles and lotions at Bath & Body Works will have you (and your house) smelling like a sunset breeze. Along with just about every other mall in America, the Bolingbrook Promenade has a B&BW. In the mall's open-air layout, this in the same area as Mago Grill & Cantina and next door to sister store Victoria Secret (no surprise there). I've been in a few times, my wife a couple times more than I, and on each occasion the sales associates were friendly and we've usually found something worth buying. Last trip, I saw a 'pumpkin pecan waffle' candle, which sounds like something I'd try.....y'know, to see if it tastes as good as it sounds and smells. Their travel-size hand sanitizers are great for the car/diaper bag/office/etc. At some point in the past I've bought gift sets here which come with lotion, body mist, shower gel, and hand cream. These are great as holiday stocking stuffers, for Mother's Day, or Valentine's Day. I believe 3-wick candles were on sale for $14 (normally $27). Every time I think that seems like a lot for scented wax in a jar, I remind myself they last a good long while and can make our home smell like a piña colada for the entire month of January. * TL;DR * It might be the bergamot and sandalwood in the air, or maybe it's how Bath & Body Works stocks the foaming hand soaps in a rainbow pattern, but something about coming here is just so darn satisfying. Their candles run the gamut from pine tree to pineapple, and the self-care products have aromas that are just as varied. Personally, I'm a fan of the 'Ocean' fragrance--blue cypress, vetiver, coastal air--to the point where I would add it to my Xmas wishlist. This is a solid store in a solid mall, organized nicely and pleasing to 4 out of the 5 senses (I've yet to find something edible).

I still shop here and this store really does still match my taste. As I type this I'm wearing both…read morea shirt and socks from Moth. The shirt is one that the owner specifically brought back for me from Japan, which was really kind of her -- it wasn't something she otherwise carried, and she went out of her way to get it for me. It remains the case that if you go for a really subtle, muted color palette -- but the solution of an all-black uniform does not appeal to you -- this store is a treasure. Lots of earthy greens and browns, burgundies, multiple shades of navy: basically, the longtime menswear color palette but for women. Really nice timeless styles and high quality fabrics. I commented in my earlier review that this is a store for people willing to take care of their clothes and that remains the case. Hand-washing or delicates washing (in a mesh bag) and hanging to dry will go a long way to extending the life of these clothes. Given the price point, the goal should be to maximize wears! I can't remember the first thing I bought here, but I definitely have pieces from Moth in active rotation that are 4-5 years old.

Employee helping us was kind and made sure her gift was wrapped special for the holidays. Service is slow and not the place to go in a rush.

Expect most items to be several thousands dollars.

I'm not a big fan of this location; it's one of the smallest VDO locations and the merchandize I…read moresaw here was disappointingly boring. Often times the selections don't necessarily reflect the type of neighborhood where the merchandize is held, but this principle appeared to be somewhat defied today. The aisles were a bit narrow. There weren't too many people shopping, but some of the "miscellaneous" items were sort of fragmented and shattered. I wonder if anyone would want to take broken pieces home, unless there is a creative use out of any of these. There were vinyls on the ground, decapitated dolls in the bins, and abandoned teddy bears that needs be revived in loving households. There weren't any organizations on anything really. I guess you can truly have a pleasure of thrift shopping, because you will need to thrift diligently in this location. If you don't live in or close to this neighborhood, head to other locations before coming to this one. It's one of the south-side locations, even though the CTA bus 47 (47th.; going from Hyde Park--Bronzeville--Back of the Yard--Brighton Park--Gage Park--Midway) and the CTA 49 (Western) buses are conveniently accessible. The actual location is on the 47th. St. and S. Maplewood in the Brighton Park neighborhood, just FYI.
