“Okay okay I’m biased because I happen to be a vendor here… but I absolutely adore Eclectic OCC. It’s the best shop in the OCC for finding locally made goods and gifts. All of the folks that work here are very kind and passionate about their small businesses.”
“I absolutely adore this shop/salon and its amazing owners Ember & Gabriel! I have been shopping their products at markets for several years and was thrilled when they opened their own store! The shop is an entire VIBE, spooky goth-glam with incredible made-in-house body care products and handmade bags, stuffies, and other trinkets. Ember is always making something new, I never leave without a bath bomb or sugar scrub. The scents are insanely good and they have a huge variety for every preference.
Gabriel has been doing my hair for about 3 years now. He has safely and meticulously taken my strong but front-thinning hair from short to medium length and back again, from brown, blonde, purple, pink, to my current coppery color. He is so incredibly knowledgeable, talented, and trustworthy. His color theory is nothing short of magic. Check out his pages on IG & FB to really see his range of skill! It’s so hard to find a stylist you really love, I’m really lucky to have found him!”
“I love this shop, I always find cute and unique vintage items. The ladies working there are always so helpful and kind. I live in Denver but always stop by this place whenever I'm in the springs!”
“Super - Super! Thomas Nametags delivered outstanding service with a rush order involving custom embroidery and patch sewing on a uniform jacket. They completed the entire job in just 21 hours, showcasing excellent workmanship and precise attention to every regulation detail. Truly impressive and highly recommended. Thank you for the exceptional work.”
“Duluth has high quality clothing and outdoor equipment and supplies. They carry extended and tall sizes for men and women. Their 100% cotton tshirts, sweats and jeans are a favorite in our house as the family has skin allergies and sensitivities. The prints are unique, making work and gardening clothes more fun.”
“The absolute cutest collection of baby girl and boy clothes & accessories I’ve ever seen! Collaborating with local vendors, this beautiful new shop is filled with boutique fashion, jewelry, vintage finds, home decor, men’s gifts, and more! A refreshing and inspiring addition to The Outlets and the Castle Rock community. Beautiful ambiance and excellent customer service! This is now my number one destination to find that perfect gift!”
“In a moment of desperation and not knowing how to style JESS saved the day ! She was super helpful and so kind making the shopping experience 100% better !! Jess is the goat!! 🙌”
“It's the cutest cozy boutique and my favorite thrift store. The owner and staff are welcoming and friendly every time I visit. I think the prices are fair and even outstanding for certain treasures. Each visit is interesting because the store is redecorated with new inventory all the time. They even call me when my favorites come in stock. Love love love this local gem!”

“Wonderful service! Very knowledgeable and informative about the materials, cleaning process, and placement.
Professional and communicative. Will go out of her way to find exactly the charms you’re looking for!
I plans on lots more charms and jewelry with her in the future.”
“Cutest clothes that are high quality and OUTSTANDING customer service!!! I've never had customer service as good as this! Also they do stuff to help the community like raise money for fallen fire fighters families. So amazing!”
“I’ve been running 5.11 gear for a while now, and it’s honestly become my go to for both work and everyday wear. As someone who’s in the field a lot, I need stuff that can take a beating, move well, and not fall apart after a few weeks and 5.11 delivers on that.
The pants are probably my favorite part. They’re tough without feeling stiff, and the pocket layout actually makes sense when you’re carrying tools, phone, and everything else. Nothing feels like it’s in the way, which is huge when you’re constantly moving.
Their shirts and outerwear hold up just as well. Breathable when it’s hot, solid when it’s cold, and they don’t get that worn out look after a few washes like cheaper brands do.
What I like most is that it’s functional without trying too hard. It looks clean enough to wear off the job but still performs when you need it to.
Only downside is the price, but you get what you pay for. I’d rather buy something once than replace it three times.
Overall, if you want gear that’s reliable, comfortable, and built to last, 5.11 is absolutely worth it.”
“Emma and Grace bridal was an absolutely AMAZING experience. I had Cami as my consultant and she was nothing but kind and made me feel so beautiful and confident!! They had such a wide variety of prices and dresses. I HIGHLY recommend this place for your dream dress. Thanks girls!! :)”
“... this boutique is fantastic! Two great women with such good ideas on how to give back to their community! Y'all should definitely stop in, buy some goodies and meet these two!!”
“Favorite place to by camis. They last forever & are well priced. Hard to buy anything else there unfortunately because a L is probably a size 6. I got some curves & can't fit!”
“The lady at this location helped me with so much and was incredibly helpful. She even gave me discounts for items that were marked up in store but were cheaper online.”
“Many people put down those who shop at Rossg. I don't understand this, you can find some deals here. I went in for dogs training pads. I got a good deal and my dogs don't mind doing their business on lower price pad.”
“I’m always happy to shop at Ross. They have some great deals on some namebrand items. It’s usually fun shopping here as you never know what you’re going to find. 😂
I just know it’s always fun trying to find something!!!”
“Nice and Quiet. The employees were super kind to us even with my daughter having a tantrum. It's hard sometimes to get out with kids but the employees were kind to us the whole time.”
“This place is fantastic! They have almost everything you could think of and more to buy as a gift for anyone for just about any occasion. The employees were so helpful and fun to talk with. I definitely recommend this boutique if you're looking for new, cool ideas for gifts and they're always adding new interesting items to their inventory. I'll be coming back again for sure.”
“My wife likes unusual socks, and Terra Verde Boutique in downtown Colorado Springs has a very large selection for those folks who enjoy having a full sock drawer! Check them out, and you'll also find a wide array of other clothes and accountraments for you and your home!”
“I love this store- it has well-priced and unique clothing with enough variety while not being overwhelming. I always find something I like, but so do my middle-schooler and college student. The accessories are great too! The location is so fun being right in the heart of the shopping and dining district downtown!”

“Fast and friendly service. I bought a hat that was a little small and I walked in and they got me the right size and on my way in less than 3 minutes! They are a friendly group of guys that let me try on before I committed. They are very knowledgeable on sizes and products.”
“Hot Topic was having a buy one, get one free deal for all clearance, which was already awesome, & the worker said if I sign up for rewards, I'll get another 10% off my purchase. We found out I actually already had a rewards acct, but they said they would still give me the sign-up discount, so I ended up getting a hat & a pair of earrings both for less than what the hat originally cost. I'm very glad I stopped in & got a great deal.”
“I love shopping this store! The managers and staff do such a good job. Recently, my sis and I shopped for items for my granddaughter's bathroom makeover. We had two very full carts while we were leaving and something kept beeping. They eventually let us go. Well, when we went to do the makeover, the shower curtain still had the security tag. When I went back today to take care of the issue, the Manager, Chris, took care of me quickly and had such a great friendly, helpful attitude. It will always be my favorite store. Thanks so much!”
“Huge shout out to Naomi for going above and beyond! I was hoping to find when the trucks would come in. Im on the hunt for some Ed Hardy purses. She took the time to look for the design I was looking for AND FOUND IT!!
Many thanks Naomi! I cannot express how much I appreciate you!”
“Viv is the BEST! She was fun & helpful. She made the shopping experience so easy! We went in for shoes & left with a lot more just because she was fun to shop with 💕”
“I’ve been to this hollister in the past and they’ve always had comfortable formal clothes I can’t pass up. Today I took a look around and they already had the clothes up for summer, ranging from short sleeve button ups to denim shorts. I went further to the back of the store where the jeans and out of season clothing was located, and I’m sure glad I did… they had a rack with 12$ jeans and another with 18$ button ups. I’ve always been a fan of the hollister style, so I’ll definitely be back to buy some of those clothes on sale. Overall, Hollister has fitted clothes that can fit any occasion, I highly recommend coming here.”
“Every time we are shopping through this mall we make it point to stop by this store. If we’re lucky, we encounter Nicole ( manager). She’s always in great spirits, willing to help, and kind. This employee needs to become the district/ regional manager! She exhibits amazing customer service skills. We always leave this store wishing all retail employees could exhibit Nicole’s customer work ethics.
The store is smaller but it’s always stocked well and organized. We can always find a unique gift or item here. But what truly makes this store unique is the customer service we receive when we shop here.”
“I especially like checking out the sales! Although it's the end of the summer season, I was able to find some sale items that I need for an upcoming trip. The salesperson was welcoming and friendly.”
“I just met Ches today and got to try his lemonade drink mix — and I’m telling you, this stuff is amazing. He hooked me up with six different flavors to try, and every one of them was good. One pack makes about a half gallon, and it’s honestly some of the best lemonade mix I’ve had.
You can drink it regular, or even use it for adult mixed drinks. Ches said he gives samples out because he knows people will come back for more — and after trying it, I believe it. We really liked it and will definitely be getting more.”
