“This Walmart location is always a busy store with many helpful employees and for the most part it is stocked with all the tems I need and use. I usually order through the Walmart delivery app but somedays, like today, we went in and shopped. We were looking to purchase a TV since their was a sale going on for Black Friday. We were helped by the staff and appreciated their assistance with our issues.”
“Love this walmart i shop here weekly and everytime i go the employees are so happy and friendly when i need help with anything and they always seem too have what i need with out being out of stock and everything is so fresh”
“I was here at around 12:11 pm, doing a return/rebuy with my TJX associate discount card. The lady who was checking me out, she had black hair ( dyed ) while wearing glasses, was the nicest cashier I have met. She was very kind throughout the transaction and we spoke about our experience working at TJX stores. I was very impressed and will be coming back here in the future if I ever need to buy something from Marshall's!”
“The smell of new tires and plastic components permeate the air! Carhart gear, transfer pumps, and cordless kits abundantly supplied! This place is heaven on earth to most country boys! Don't forget the debit card fellas cause mamas got a long list here as well!”
“I just can't say enough about this store. Linda H at the Algonquin location is knowledgeable about everything in the store. From food to furniture to holiday items she can direct you to the right item. Not only is she the best representative, she's excited about the product. Attention HomeGoods management, you've got an amazing representative in Linda H 🥳”
“I love tjmaxx but for some reason It was my first time at Crystal Lake location, and OMG the decor for fall are amazing everything the clothes, but I was specifically trying to find something to decor my living room table and a Woman named Amy who works there was so sweet and amazing with her ideas she ended up helping me and picked cuttest decoration for my living room, she spended around 20 min helping me… it really meant a lot..❤️ Come to this store you wont be disappointed .”
“I shop at JC Penny in Algonquin frequently. The store is always well organized with interesting displays that draw my attention. I want to especially acknowledge the customer rep. at the register Shailaja. I have been fortunate to have her wait on me a number of times. She is always friendly and treats every customer with patience, courtesy and professionalism - even when the store is busy. If there is a promotion or member benefit, she always lets me know. Shailaja is a true asset to both to the company and to her customers.”
“Truly love the South Elgin Kohl's. Associates are very friendly, helpful and willing to help. Love the variety of selections of products throughout the store.”
“They have everything you need in this store to wear, the prices are very low,T.J. Maxx have awesome people working there also,just ask someone what you are looking for and they will point you in the right place! 5 stars for me to them for helping them out Thank you !”
“Best HomeGoods store in the Chicago area! Well stocked with a large variety of well made items. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean store with clean restrooms. Well organized too.”
“Michael made my food very poorly, and I was disappointed with the quality of my meal. The food did not meet my expectations, and I had a negative experience because of it. I hope the restaurant improves its food quality and customer service in the future.”
“I came to buy supplies for baby ducks we ordered, and saw they had different breeds of ducks so I got 2 extra blue runner ducks. Everyone was so helpful, all the way from the back of the store to the front, including Kathy. What an absolutely sweet, helpful and kind lady! I like the selection of misc building materials outside too.”
“I had to come back and leave a review because the customer service at TJ Maxx in Algonquin was honestly outstanding. Last Friday I came in and noticed how amazing the atmosphere was, and when I returned today, I knew I had to say something. Manager Sarika went above and beyond with both the employees and customers. You can instantly tell when someone truly cares about their job, their team, and the people walking through the doors. She was professional, kind, patient, hardworking, and handled everything with such positive energy. It’s rare to see management that involved and supportive anymore, and it made the entire store feel welcoming and organized. Ximena was also absolutely wonderful — friendly, helpful, and so sweet during checkout. The other cashiers were great too, even though I didn’t get all their names. Everyone seemed happy, respectful, and genuinely helpful, which says a lot about the leadership in the store. You can really feel the difference when a store is run by someone who leads with kindness and professionalism. Sarika should truly be recognized for the incredible job she’s doing. This was one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in a long time!”
“I had a wonderful experience at Sephora. Even though the store was very busy, I still received the attention and help I needed. Eva and Emily were both kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They took the time to answer my questions and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Their excellent customer service made my visit enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you, Eva and Emily, for going above and beyond!”
“They have a wide variety and selection of anything and everything. From home items to clothing and even things for pets. Also, the customer service is great and they are patient with customers.”
“Worldstar one of the better stores that they have. Customer services very helpful. Some cashiers are better than others but in all it's not bad Would go there during the off times not weekends during the week would be better very congested during the weekends”
“We started shopping at target exclusively six months ago or so and couldn’t believe how much better they are on quality and price. They curate their products very well so it’s easy to make a choice as to what to buy. Good and gather brand eggs are $1.69 a dozen! And they taste great! If you have been wondering like us why eggs elsewhere taste really weird and disgusting, you’re not alone. If target keeps doing things this way, we will be customers for life. We save tons of money and find everything we are looking for 99% of the time. Once in awhile they are sold out of things we like but it’s not too often and we don’t like shopping elsewhere. I have noticed the crystal lake target getting busier each time we go there so I know we aren’t alone. In not sure why other stores aren’t as good as target but they should observe how it’s done at target. Couldn’t be happier with the products, prices and people there. Someone knows what they are doing and is doing it very well.”
“My partner and I have come to the Elgin location recently for all of our automotive repairs, and the staff in the auto department is phenomenal! These guys are friendly, professional, and efficient. The service manager, Alexis, helped us resolve a recent miscommunication involving our quote- he went above and beyond to get us the best possible outcome, and followed up thoroughly the whole way through. Ben has also given us honest advice, and really takes the time to communicate what is being done and following up as well. Not to mention the great prices and deals compared to ones we've been quoted elsewhere. Happy customers here!”
“The people shopping here were rude and not mindful of other shoppers. Otherwise, they have so many great deals. You literally need a couple of hours to go through everything. Withing walking distance of several other discount stores.”
“Bought an item not long ago, walked in to the store trying to see if i can return or exchange or get a store credit but one employee i spoked to wasn’t able to help me without my receipt. So i left and went home. Called nordstrom customer care service & called the store… i spoke to an employee by the name of Felicia S. I assumed she was the manager. Told me and explained to me a different ways on how she can help me locate my receipt. And so i went back to the store, spoke with Felicia S, and she was able to give me a gift card for my return which now i will use to make an online purchase instead from the nordstrom website… i appreciate how Felicia S, was able to help me and made my day…. Thank you.”
“Been there two separate times now, both times everything was easy to find. Multiple changing rooms so not much of a wait if you're ever in a time crunch. They have more then you'd expect, and all the prices are pretty chill.”
“This Target in west Schaumburg is huge. There is more merchandise, plenty of selection to choose from and a Pizza Hut - Eye Wear (prescription glasses/lenses) store etc… I visited this location on an early Saturday morning (05/09/26) around the time it opened. It was after placing a website order the day before. I was given fasts email notification stating all my products were ready for pickup at the Higgins location. There was one exception my fruit order had sold out giving me an equal chance to receive at a nearby store. I was given this choice for pickup at the west Schaumburg location. The email notification was received right away and I was asked to come to this location the very next day for pickup. Everything about the store ( SUPER TARGET) was good but the associate who scanned my pickup wasn’t the nicest person. So the store will be receiving a four star ⭐️ but one off for the associate with the strange not so nice personality. LOVE THESE MINIATURE APPLE CRISPS APPLES SOLD EXCLUSIVELY AT TARGET AND IS A PROUD SPONSOR OF THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS. SO TASTY SO DAMN DELICIOUS AND U RECEIVED A 3 POUND BAG FOR ONLY $10.19 @ TARGET.”
“Love this place! Everyone has such great customer service especially Victoria! I love all the different combinations they offer. Their atmosphere is fun and upbeat and I love that they are open later.”
“Arrive at 6am on Saturday and enjoy some of THE best yeast and cake donuts I've ever had! Tons of options from your regular cake, cake frosted and cake frosted with sprinkles, yeast frosted, yeast frosted with frosting to more specialized donuts like cinnamon roll donuts, cinnamon and sugar and long johns. Donuts have a very fresh taste and consistency (doughy) but dont have that fried flavor which is not good. Highly recommended!!!”
“I’ve always loved shopping at Target, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight something special about this Elgin location. They have a dedicated nursing station for moms inside the fitting room area, and I love that they clearly post a sign about it in the women’s restroom at the front of the store. It’s such a thoughtful and supportive touch for parents. It really took me back to my early days as a new mom, when I often felt like I had to rush home just to pump. Back then, even stores like Babies “R” Us didn’t offer spaces like this. So seeing this kind of accommodation now feels like a big step forward. Even though my babies are grown, it genuinely makes me happy to see other moms being supported in this way. It’s small details like this that make a big difference. Kudos to this Target location — you did good. I’d love to see more stores follow your lead.”
“As soon as I walked into this store, I noticed how neat & orderly it looked. The aisles were clear and there were no clothes laying on the floor. All the employees I saw were busy working; organizing and putting out merchandise. All the sales associates were very friendly.”
“Best store ever my self and family always go there to buy clothes and any type of selection of an items like home,shoes, acc for ladies, men's or even baby stuff I always love going there to shop for any type of gift! My favorite place to shop. And best customer service of all employees especially Matt the Manager and Linda the supervisor she always there to help people that doesn't speak English thanks everyone for your guys service!”
“We came to this home goods and found exactly the artwork we were looking for! Olga was such a phenomenal help and was such a pleasant worker! She was so kind, informative, and supportive. She helped us find one additional piece of artwork at a nearby location and it made our whole night! Highly recommend! Thank you OLGA!!”
“I had the best experience at this Ross, it was really stocked and was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Emily the cashier was extra helpful and sweet a true asset for this location.”
“This Walmart in my community often serves a large number of people each day and they do a fairly great job keeping their departments well-stocked and looking tidy. The one thing that annoys me is the fact the front never returns the baskets and if you only want to shop for a few things you have to either grab a huge cart or go searching for baskets. **** update: I have noticed they have added more baskets near their entrances to accommodate customers.”
