Jeri deserves special recognition for her professionalism. She treats every customer with courtesy,…read morerespect, and consistency, regardless of what they are shopping for or spending. Andy is also a quiet but highly effective manager whose attention to detail and commitment to maintaining standards are evident throughout the store. He is personable, thorough, and clearly invested in creating the best possible shopping experience for customers. One manager frequently refers to customers as "friend." While I understand the intent may be to sound welcoming, I found the term disingenuous given my experience with this individual. Rather than feeling valued, I often felt marginalized during our interactions. Although I experienced a few unpleasant interactions with certain associates, including a former assistant manager and back room bullies, my more recent visits have been much more positive. It would also feel more inclusive if hiring at this store were more diverse to reflect a more balanced demographic. The store can become extremely busy during sales events. Unfortunately, this is a high crime area. I have witnessed instances of brazen shoplifting, including women loading baskets and running out the door with large quantities of merchandise. I hope the store's security systems and surveillance efforts help deter this behavior and catch these criminals.

Parking: They have a massive parking lot around the main building, as well as parking around the other buildings as well (since the shop covers several buildings and a pretty big area). They also have valet. Selection: Being such a large store, there's a ton of selection. You can spend HOURS shopping here. I rarely make it past the main building since the other parts have mostly furniture, linens, dishware, and such, but one day I do plan to explore all of them! The selection in the main building includes menswear, womenswear, kids, travel, stationary, games, makeup, kitchen appliances, books, pets, and holiday items. When you first enter, the displays there revolve depending on the season. Though a huge selection is great for finding a lot of things, it can also be overwhelming. I also find that they sometimes only have one of an item I'm buying or run out of items. Prices: The prices here are high, but what you would expect for the brands they carry. Service: The service can be hit-or-miss. In my experience you are rarely greeted or checked in on while shopping, which isn't a bad thing (as someone who likes to be left alone while contemplating my purchases I'm all for this!). However it does become an issue when you need help with something. There are also small service related moments that, while not horrible, can be frustrating. Most noteworthy is when you're trying to check out, the lines are more of a mob of people since the way to line up isn't clear (especially at the main central checkout). So you may get skipped or cut and the cashiers don't really handle this. Another issue for me recently was that I opted to get some Christmas gifts gift wrapped in store when the cashier let me know that was an option. Several things went wrong when I tried to pick them up though - First there was again no clear line and I accidentally skipped a lady that was waiting for a while. Then they could not find my items - a quick stop in to pick them up turned quite long because of this. Finally, they were wrapped (though quite well) in plain paper and Kuhl-Linscomb branding. While the branding was fine, the reason I opted for this option was for holiday paper (they were toys for a 2 year old for Christmas). This should have been made clear at the start, because I didn't have time to re-wrap them afterwards. Ultimately it wasn't a big deal, but frustrating to lose so much time to something that I won't be choosing to do again. Overall though I definitely recommend coming here and shopping around!
