Did I know that, and where on the card did it say that? Seems kind of sheisty of RH to issue gift cards and let them expire within a year. Overall 4/5 experience.

Nike By Kansas City

It's not often I find myself browsing stores on the Plaza these days, but I treated myself to a…read moresolo shopping afternoon over the holidays and decided to check out the new-ish Nike store. Ever since I entered my lounge wear era back in 2020 I've been a fan of Nike sweatshirts and sneakers and I'd never even actually been into a Nike store. Funny how that happens! At any rate, I explored this one and while it was a super sleek store with some cool options, I kind of found the inventory to be pretty limited. There were a few things that peaked my interest but I ultimately left without trying anything on as the deals weren't that great, and I feel like the discounts and selection are much better on their website. I think this might be a good place to go if you know they have something you're interested in so you can try it on, but I didn't really see any kids shoes (which is something we'd come here to try one for sure), and since I know my size in Nike this will probably be a place I just wander into if and when I find myself browsing at the Plaza.

Winter items were in good numbers. But the backpack section didn't have much inventory. The shoes display shelves were pretty empty. Prices were similar to website, little bit higher as all Lulu items are. They had fitting rooms available too. Associates were available in the area and around the floor assisting customers. Checkout line was moving quickly too. Overall it was a nice store for mostly apparel and winter goods.

A lot has changed since I first reviewed this Lulu location back in 2015. I've become a parent,…read morehave adapted to working remote, and they moved their location to a bigger and IMO better location on the Plaza. I mention becoming a parent because any pregnant woman will tell you that Lululemon Align leggings are FIRE when your body is going through all kinds of changes and I have to say that even in my post baby body I'm still pretty hooked on them. All that to say, I'm a fan. I've been a fan now for years and I have some leggings that I'm going on my tenth year with, so I think for the price and the comfort they tend to hold up pretty well. Now onto this location. I love that they moved. The old spot was small-ish, and not really conducive to browsing. I popped into this one a few times recently, first on my birthday to browse and really enjoyed taking in the sales, and trying on some things, finally settling on some great sweaters. I was really relieved to find that the salespeople working nowadays were such a breath of fresh air from the visits I made ca. 2015. They were people of all shapes and sizes, and they were friendly. I hadn't been into a Lulu in some time so I asked the woman working the floor if they still did repairs as I had a pile of old leggings that had tears and holes that I was hoping to get stitched up at some point. She told me that they stopped that policy but that they do exchanges in most situations if they don't hold up. I was honestly flabbergasted as that seemed almost too good to be true. Needless to say I went home, packed up all my old leggings that had holes and came back a few days later. Now, when I came back there were different sales people on the floor and while they were all very kind, they lacked the confidence the first woman had about me getting these exchanged. They agreed that they had this policy but TWO of them spent a solid 5-10 minutes lecturing me on how to care for my leggings properly. It was almost as if they didn't believe me that I do follow the care instructions (because I do), and that I haven't been a customer for a decade. At the end of the day I got all but one pair exchanged, and they take detailed notes now on which ones you exchanged, why, and add it to your file - I'm assuming so you don't do this a ton. Overall I'm glad I was able to get them exchanged and it certainly extends the life of a product that is still very pricey for what it is. But, I'd honestly rather they bring back their repair policy. I would have been just as happy getting my pants repaired without all of the lecturing and shaming that they put me through just to honor their own policy. I reiterate that they were overall nice and not mean about it, but it definitely made me feel like I was doing something wrong, when I'm just trying to use their product as they intended, with the guarantees they commit to with their performance.

This location gets all the newest shoe "launches" (I know, crazy!) from the major players in footwear. Again, I would know this top secret information because of a 13-year old boy. That being said, the service is hit or miss. I actually prefer not to be hassled while I shop. So appropriately, it's okay with me if I'm ignored for the first 10 minutes while in the store. More time for me! I know this infuriates some others, but oddly, I'm okay with this scenario. It's totally weird how they only give you ONE SHOE to try on and they guard the box at the desk. But I guess this means they've seen their fare share of theft. So if you are actually serious about buying some shoes here, you must ask for the OTHER shoe to try on too. We will be making a trip back tomorrow as the shoes we bought tonight had an odd mismatch on the toe. Obviously, my daughter should have tried on BOTH shoes...at the same time. My bad!

It's not a very fancy or sophisticated store, more like a doctors office waiting room, but it does serve an important purpose to your overall comfort in life. The sales guy was very nice, inspecting my shoes and recognizing the problem right away (high arch + flat shoes = uncomfortable feet). He had me try on inserts which made my feet feel awesome, but the price tag had me hesitate. It's not that they were that expensive, it's just that I'm poor. What can you do right... Anyway, if you have some serious issues with your feet try this place first. It could be a simple problem an insert could handle.

Shoes are expensive, but Garry Gribbles constantly offers clearance deals and specials so you don't have to buy improper shoes out of budget considerations. Also a great place to meet other runners, they offer a pretty solid calendar of races and events around town. OH, and they stock my favorite socks in the world, Injini's, which just makes me all kinds of happy camper. They recently started carrying Vibram's Five Fingers, which perhaps seems like a counter-intuitive move for a running shoe store, but Gribbles is all about making your runs better and seems to have a service first, money second attitude. I can't recommend them highly enough, if you're a runner, walker, or person with legs and feet, you NEED to stop by Garry Gribbles.
