Having a LL Bean in South Barrington is so nice and convenient! The store is very large and has a…read moregreat inventory within all offering departments. I visited to look at their shoe department for a holiday gift. Don helped me and I could not have nicer things to say about him! He got me a variety of bean boot styles, heights, and sizes to try on to truly see which I liked best. After my research was complete, he found us back in the store to have me try one more boot that had my preferred size, width, height, and was on major sale! He never applied pressure for me to buy and actually recommended I put it on a hold if I wanted to think about it. He made sure I was well informed of my options and went above and beyond for me. I ended up coming back Sunday and bought the boots! LL Bean has some great products where I've bought blankets, flannels, sweaters, and slippers previously but Don's service was some of the best I've experienced in a while.

Today she realized that she was missing one of her earrings, so we looked all over the house, but couldn't find it. After thinking about it, she thought that she might have lost it when she tried on the sweater in the fitting room, so she decided to go back to the store to find out if anyone had found it. After looking in the dressing room, she was offered assistance by an employee named Cathy,. After explaining her problem, Cathy told her that someone had found her earring late yesterday afternoon, and that it had been secured for her. We are very grateful for the help from Cathy and whoever else had found her earring! Thank you SO MUCH! John & Jenny

Some friends and I recently took a trip to stay at a cabin in the Rockford area. We had planned to go cross country skiing and found that Rocktown Adventures rents xc skis in the winter. What we had not planned on was how slow we would be at finally leaving the cabin to go pick up the skis. Since they unfortunately don't do reservations for the skis, we called ahead to make sure they had some before heading over. By the time we got there it was already around 3 pm and unbeknownst to us, they close at 5 pm on the weekends. We got started with the rental process only to realize we would have very little time to ski before sundown. After explaining a couple options we had for still getting out on the skis, the staff member ultimately told us it probably wouldn't be worth our money given our time constraints. Instead of staying quiet, taking our money, and letting us have a very short ski trip, the staff member suggested the option that was best for us! He then told us that if we were ever back in town to just give them a call and if they had skis available he'd have them ready for us when we arrived. Not only is the staff knowledgeable and caring but they have an incredible selection of gear. We didn't end up spending any money there, and that is exactly why this was a five star experience!

Got a 20"x24" piece - in which they cut it for you! That's always nice so you don't have to mess with it yourself. It was only $15! So i can't complain. The glass is only 1/8" no other sizes so make sure that'll work for your project you are doing. For me it was absolutely perfect. Also got some window sealer caulk and bam! project is done for $20! Definitely beats paying someone $100 to do it. I love being a "handy man" and Ace came through on this one! Clean store. Friendly employees. #manstuff
