This rating is for the Pet Photos with Santa. We made a reservation this evening and basically…read morewalked right in because there was no one in line. Santa was amiable and friendly and was able to corral these two little squirmers while the elf helper took the photos. The pictures were fine; some had digital backgrounds added. The setting still looks good; nothing looked worn or faded. The pictures are a little pricey considering I was also taking pics on my phone. The whole experience makes me a little sad because one family came as we were finishing up but basically the mall was empty. Good on Santa and his helper for being enthusiastic and lively for our pictures. We walked around a little but I didn't see any other families (or dogs) lined up for photos. Shortly after I arrived home I also received a digital link for the photos -- the helper said it might take up to 24 hours for the pics but here they are. 4.5 stars

Everything worth anything in here is gone…read more The interior is still as classy as ever, with some really fun common spaces for the kids, like the treehouse. But there's no Apple Store. No burger joint. And every escalator was not operational when I visited. The only reason I was there, was to donate blood. The AMC is still around, but the whole place looks like a zombie apocalypse. I don't know why you'd come here.

It is new, modern, fresh and there are actually books in here (seriously a lot of the Barnes & Nobles have moved more in the toy direction). Well there are still a good amount of games, collectors items, etc. but it really is a true book store. I was surprised by the amount of manga they had in stock two dedicated sections. They even had a lot of hard to find ghibli merchandise. There's also a really nice cafe inside. We will definitely be back!

You could probably spend an hour in here going from section to section (store is one level but huge) and there are comfortable armchairs and a large cafe. Village Square has list several retailers over the years so it's nice to see some new stores here. I was sad when B&N closed the Deerfield store but this looks much nicer.

This is the first time I've shopped at this location. I had time to kill and I saw the sign about…read moretheir clearance sale. The store was nice and neat and not very crowded. The shoe department isn't as big as my favorite location but I still managed to find a couple pair of slippers, the clearance price for one pair was only $6.73!

I find that this location is easier to maneuver around versus the Old Orchard location, however it was still pretty crowded on a Saturday afternoon (prime time probably). Lots of On Cloud and Hoka women's shoe options. Had a really good experience with the checkout line, I wish I could remember her name. Even though the shoes didn't ring up with the price on the box, she make the adjustment without any issues. In addition, she was savvy enough to know how to make split a credit card payment when using one of those annoying Visa gift cards and a regular credit card. Usually when those two issues occur, you get stuck in line forever - but with her it was a breeze!

On a whim, I decided to head out and check out the new store. I purposely left my debit card at home and went *shopping* with my iPhone camera. I conveniently parked in the onsite parking lot and went in. I immediately noticed that the store feels a bit sparse and airy, but it's probably because everything is nicely organized and well curated. Off to the right you'll find a nice selection of handbags and a somewhat hidden checkout counter. You'll find name brand sunglasses, and a nice selection of workout clothes (don't miss the 70% off rack). Like any outlet store, you can be expected to to spend some time browsing the sale racks. But it's worth it, because I spotted a great blazer I would come back and purchase to wear with jeans. The coat selection is great. Though I don't want to think about coat shopping, this would be a good time to do it before the men's and women's coats are picked over. There is a men's section in the back. On to the shoes. If you're a woman size 8-8.5, I found that size to have the most variety. They have newer shoes, only slightly discounted, mixed with sale shoes. I would come back for a special outfit for a special occasion. As far as everyday shopping, I would have to come back with more time in my schedule...oh...and my debit card!

Even so, the experience is largely inconvenient. Staffing issues persist, usually with barely anyone working on the floor at all to answer questions (I gave up on this awhile ago and now don't ask anything when I shop there unless I'm at a register). The pickup section is overall inefficient, though the people working there are still friendly. There is a pretty good variety here, nonetheless, so if you aren't in a hurry and know where to get stuff, you'll be good to go!

I was pleasantly surprised at how much more spacious and well-organized and clean this felt by comparison. They also have some higher end products that Rack doesn't sell in store, which is a perk for folks looking for those items. My return process was painless/the sales associate was efficient. I'll be back in a few days to do more returns because I have more things coming that I'll need to return, so I'm glad it was an easy experience today.

There's all the big ones - luxury Chanel, Dior, the occasional Hermes (!!) as well as more contemporary brands such as Rebecca Taylor and Theory. They have a huge selection of clothes, jewelry, shoes, bags, as well as home items like art and furniture. Items range in condition from new with tags to used but all in great condition. Depending on when you go there are some great sales including a big one in the summer. Can't write a review without shouting out the lovely ladies who work in the shop!

The first note from the manager was- that's about of stuff--- well if you don't want that much, then limit it on your website.

I'm a recently retired physician and have many nice work shoes and clothing items that were never worn, especially during COVID, and would have liked to consign so others could enjoy. It isn't worth the hassle factor. Just donate straight away.

Then I went to a couple sidewalk sales where things were crazy reasonably priced and in excellent condition. The woman who owns the shop is very particular about what she takes in and a lot of her stuff is either brand new or in excellent used condition. High end designer fashion which is why the prices are higher. I love a business run by a woman; I wish I could give her five stars but this is not a shop like going to Goodwill. College students and people who don't have a fairly nice income will probably not find a lot in their price range here. If you are a designer lover this is the place for you.
