Think Anthropologie with a Western flare and elements of Zara built in through their basics…read moreselection. As a country girl turned city, I shop designer stores in the Bay Area. I love Sezane, Paige, Anthropologie, etc., but I can often find similar styles and quality at Sitting Pretty. So when I get the chance to drive over to Chowchilla, I definitely do! While designer stores charge $200+ per item, clothing pieces here are $25-45. I'm quite picky because I like sleek, polished looks; clothing that isn't loud, but in its own way is unforgettable. It could be a black top with a scalloped neckline - unique and not something you can easily find elsewhere. Yet soft, comfortable and easy to wash. The customer service here is top notch too. They are so friendly and attentive; always smiling - that good old Valley charm and hospitality you can't quite find elsewhere. I love that I never have to carry my clothes around because they consistently check in with me. You don't have to go to a designer store to receive designer-level customer service or quality clothing. I've definitely gotten many compliments on my clothes and women asking where I bought them. I chuckle and tell them I bought them from this little town called Chowchilla from a boutique called Sitting Pretty. Strange that such a gem exists where no one would ever expect it to, but hoping Sitting Pretty is around for a very long time. Last, but certainly not least, they source their own clothing and they frequently change. So if you like something, buy 2 of them. If you didn't find something you like that day (this never happened to me), come back a different week because all the clothes will be different.

My daughter, grandson and I went in today. There were two employees (one old and one younger)…read morebehind the counter assisting one customer in the store. They saw us walk in yet did not verbally acknowledge us. We browsed, oohed and ahhed over some of the cute tops, and eventually found ourselves near the front counter. At this point the customer finished and left. Still, no greeting or anything from either employee. There was no one else in the store. After they finished their conversation, the older employee went to the back. We continued shopping until finally I looked up and loudly said to the remaining employee: "Good morning, how are you?". She responded and STILL didn't ask if we needed assistance, if we were finding everything okay, if we had questions about any of their products, or anything! We couldn't believe how unprofessional both employees were. They obviously didn't need our business so we left. We try very hard to support local businesses. But when the employees treat us like we are invisible and aren't good enough to greet us when we enter their establishment or offer shopping assistance, then that business clearly does not want our money.

My mom LOVED her chair from Rose Furniture. When it needed a repair under the warranty, Rose…read moreFurniture came to Madera and picked up the chair and did the repair. However when the chair was returned. There was damage to the fabric. My mom called the company, emailed Brent photos of the damage. No response. Very sad to think a local company would not back their product damaged by their delivery person. Sad to think the company is okay with ignoring 73 old woman's calls. The fabric is now shinny and stiff from where the chair was shoved against the pick up bed. Guess they got their money and have no desire for future business. Please beware.

This is the best motorcycle shop in the valley. My dad bought a motorcycle way back in the 1970's…read morefrom the Wilson's when it was in Fresno. After they opened in Madera my dad bought another bike from them. My daughter bought a bike from them, and we get all our bikes serviced there. The Wilson family are the nicest and as honest as it comes. Tyler Wilson runs the service department, and he is great. They try hard to have your bike ready for you even when you don't have an appointment. The drive out there From Fresno/Clovis is nice if you go the Friant way. Even if you did not buy a bike from them, it's worth taking it there for the service. Despite costing less than the "Big Honda" dealer in Fresno, the "family" treatment is why I go there.

Great customer service very helpful a bit on the pricy side but you get what you pay for.read more
