My husband and I were fragrance shopping on December 14, 2025 while doing our Christmas shopping…read more While we were smelling a different brand, a female employee walked behind us and asked if we wanted to smell Dior, which was noticeably on the lower end of the price range compared to what we were already viewing. At the same time, another employee positioned an iPhone near where we were standing, which made us feel uncomfortable and singled out. We are both African American, and the behavior of the employees felt prejudiced and unnecessary. We entered the store fully intending to purchase fragrances, but left feeling disappointed and unwilling to spend our hard-earned money in an environment where we felt judged rather than welcomed.

Nordstrom Rack is an off-price department store chain that has hundreds of stores across the U.S…read more Its parent company is the luxury department store Nordstrom. This particular Nordstrom Rack is in The Block Northway shopping center. This Nordstrom Rack has two floors. The top level contains merchandise for men, children, and home, and the bottom level contains merchandise for women. I focused on the women's clothing. I saw an assortment of shirts, pants, shorts, dresses, coats, and other apparel that previous retailers could not sell. I recognized brands such as Calvin Klein and Nike, but I had not previously heard of some of the other brands. I thought that the prices were low to moderate. I decided to purchase a pair of UnionBay shorts for $23. The cashier quickly and correctly rang up my purchase.

It also is the "closet" for several dozen Pittsburgh-area agencies that help women in need such as women leaving domestic violence. Since its founding in 2001, it has donated millions of dollars of clothing to tens of thousands of women. I recently shopped at Treasure House Fashions. When I entered the store, a friendly volunteer greeted me, explained how the store was organized, and offered assistance. The racks and shelves were fully stocked--in fact, so stocked that the store was no longer accepting donations. The clothes were very well organized by size and type (e.g., pants, shirts, and dresses), and some were from well-known brands. I did not, however, see price tags on most clothes, so I would like to set more of those. Most styles were not my preferred style, but I did find a couple of clothes that I liked.

I am truly, honestly grateful a place like Treasure House exists...I feel great, and I look great because of this special store.

As I browsed the racks and shelves, I walked past a few employees, and none of them acknowledged me. I felt surprised to see that a pair of women's jean shorts were priced at $40. Later, I found tank tops that had a regular price of $10 each were on sale for $6 each, so I picked up a few of them. At the checkout counter, three cashiers were available. After I stood in line for several minutes, one cashier called me over. She accurately rang up my purchase. Overall, Old Navy is not a store where I frequently shop, but I feel happy to occasionally stop by and see what clothing styles are being offered.

I occasionally shop at this store, mostly for women's clothing. My household income is in a top percentile, and I think that the prices for most products here are more than what I want to spend. During my most recent visit, when I was browsing the racks of clothing, an employee walked right past me and did not say hello. Furthermore, sometimes I could not easily find price tags on products. I chose one article of clothing to buy. At the checkout counter, I waited in line for a short while. An employee kindly greeted me, made conversation, accurately rang up my purchase, and told me to have a good day.

The anchor stores are Nordstrom, Macy's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods. Luxury/designer stores include Burberry, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co., Kate Spade, and Tory Burch. The mall also has many lower-priced clothing stores, including American Eagle, Banana Republic, Buckle, Chico's, Express, GAP, H&M, Hollister, J.Crew, J.Jill, Levi's, LOFT, Madewell, PacSun, Victoria's Secret, White House Black Market, and Zumiez. Unfortunately, a few of my favorite clothing stores have closed since my previous review. Several other stores sell shoes and accessories, such as Coach, Foot Locker, Kay Jewelers, Lens Crafters, Pandora, Sunglass Hut, Swarovski, Tumi, VisionWorks, and Warby Parker. The mall also has electronics stores such as Apple and phone stores. Stores for home goods include Crate and Barrel, RH (formerly Restoration Hardware), Tempur-Pedic, and Williams-Sonoma. Current restaurants are Auntie Anne's, Cheesecake Factory, Plaza Azteca, Nordstrom Ruscello, several casual restaurants in the food court, etcetera. Unlike many other indoor malls, Ross Park Mall is not dead. Most store fronts are occupied, and only a few store fronts are empty and awaiting future retailers.

I saw merchandise from brands and designers such as 7 for All Mankind, Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, and Mac Duggal. The store was having a 25%-off sale, so the final prices were fairly low. I picked out travel bags to buy. A cashier immediately rang up my purchase and thanked me.
