“I visited your Elmhurst IL STORE ON OCTOBER 22nd. I was assisted by a young woman named Maddie. She Was incredibly helpful and very kind. I very much enjoyed my interaction with her. She is a great asset to your store. Thanks Maddie, you’re awesome!!!! 👍”
“Rajna, super nice, helpful and pleasant associate. I have been a customer for years and I have never left a review before. She definitely deserves it 👏”
“Yesterday I was fortunate enough to go into your VonMaur Store in Bloomington/Normal Illinois. It should be noted that my friend and I received incredible customer service from Karen in women’s clothing, Ann in Jewelry and from a gentleman who helped us in Men’s Clothing. All three Sales Reps were juggling other people while we were shopping (and asking questions as well) and they showed extreme adaptability, knowledge of inventory, patience, and kindness. We were seriously going to walk out with nothing when Karen asked us to try a couple of different dresses and in different sizes and to make a long story short, we both bought the last dress that each of us tried on because of her incredible salesmanship and knowledge of the product, material and fit! A great experience to shop in your stores and she even surpassed the attention test that I always attributed to only boutiques.”
“Nice people work here. Edward was exceptional. I was looking for 2 things: orange soap & a very specific style & size of shorts. He dropped what he was doing to help me find both! He even checked other stores for other colors of shorts. Suggested I order online for the region was sold out. Then he rang me up. I am not used to that type of customer care when I come to Kohl's to be honest. Edward really went above and beyond. If he works for you, buy him lunch, you're lucky to have him working for you.”
“I’m always able to find great Halloween home decor around this time. Just bought an amazing outdoor spider web bench for my patio! Associates were super helpful to wheel it to my car.”
“I ordered a dress online from a separate brand but they sent it to me with the sensor still attached. I went and asked them to remove it and thankfully they did! Thank you Faiza and Jackie!!”
“We were looking for clothes on Thursday afternoon July 10th. Thank you to the young lady in the women's department who went out of her way to help us. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name so I put when we were there so you will know who we are thanking”
“My husband and I love this store artsy clothes no store has customer service at the register woman are perfect .we did notice price have gone up have they needed to do this based on trouble makers stealing the fine quality designed cloths ?? We are still so happy they are in business yes to the manager .”
“Wow, impressively massive, vast even selection, and in the middle of ALL these other stores too! Dan was very nice. Coming back ASAP for buncha stuff Great environment they are cultivating ??❤️??”
“A very nice, smart, and energetic young latina girl that works in the clothing department there deserves 5 stars! Cinco Estrelas Querida!!! I visited the store there randomly about a week ago with my mother and she was working in the fitting rooms area of the clothing department near the men's athletic wear. Polite and professional customer service, deserves a promotion. Mentioned she was looking for a place in the area so we wished her the best of luck!”
“1st time in store, they have a lot to offer, very busy store but it was difficult to find things because it was not very organized when I visited. Again a lot of foot traffic. Customers pick up and place things out of order but it was disorganized. I might have to go again.”
“I would like to thank Almira for her help and patience finding the clothes I need. She assisted me with finding correct size and had a great eye for clotes fitting. I bought great items with her help. Will visit again!”
“So thankful for the store manager Tom. Shout out to the amazing staff that supported me during a tough return. The professionalism was truly unmatched. Thank you Tj Maxx!”
“The associates at this store are very friendly and helpful. Last week, I wanted to buy this kids kitchen set in the toys section, but the box was giant. I had my baby in a stroller and I couldn't carry it with the stroller. I asked the associates if they could bring the box to checkout and then down to the exit so I could put it in my car. I'm so appreciative of the staff for helping me. One associate brought it to the register so I could purchase it and another brought it down to the door so I could load it in my car. They were so patient with me. Thank you both so much from a thankful mom.”
“Great experience here with the help of Sara. Other employees seemed great too. Good selection of shoes and other items I was hoping to find in a pinch, and I did! Def recommend this location.”
“Although customer service wasn’t able to help me with what I needed I’m not going to be sour grapes and give them a bad review because their customer service was excellent and they did exactly what they were supposed to do. I didn’t get the results I liked, but they were still very good at what they did.The store is extremely well stocked with a huge variety of items!Each department has a good variety of items and sizes and the racks are extremely full.The store is easy to get to from the parking lot. It is very clean well designed and easy to find what you need.”
“This Marshall’s is one of the better ones I’ve visited. The store was spotless, racks were tidy, and shelves were fully stocked without feeling cluttered. It actually made browsing relaxing instead of chaotic. I appreciated how easy it was to find sizes and departments, and the checkout line moved quickly. Definitely a location worth returning to.”
“First let me say when I visit Chicago I make it my business to visit Norstrom Rack because I can always find the perfect pair of shoes or purse etc... Anyhow I visited on 9/11 purchased a watched as I was leaving the store the alarm went off I was not stopped I went back to the service desk and asked them to check my bag for sensors. They did and when I got home my husband bought my bag inside and I couldn't find my watch I purchased. My husband said nothing else was in the suv. So I went back to the store the next day and told them my watch was missing from my bag. The sale lady was professional the store review the security footage and said the watch was put back in the bag and maybe check my car. The manager was nice and said there was nothing they could do and someone will give me a call next week. When I got to my suv I double checked the car moved my grandson stroller and true enough there was my watch. I was excited it was there. I did go back inside the store and apologize to the sale lady and ask her to let the manager know the watch was in my car. I don't want anyone to think I was trying to get a free watch or anything else. But I could tell the team thought I was trying to get something free. But that not me. God has blessed me to be able to shop and pay for whatever I want or need. Next visit to Chicago I'll see you Norstrom Oakbrook Il.”

And don't get me started on their Halloween ?? sections, cause they are just full of awesomeness..”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service from Anna W! I had such a wonderful experience at Nordstrom Rack thanks to Anna W in the fitting room area. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive from the moment I arrived. Anna went above and beyond to help me stay organized, check for different sizes, and make sure I had everything I needed during my shopping experience. Her positive attitude, patience, and genuine willingness to help made a huge difference and turned a routine shopping trip into a great one. Employees like Anna are a true asset to Nordstrom Rack. Thank you, Anna, for providing outstanding customer service and making me feel valued as a customer! Highly recommend recognizing Anna W for her excellent work! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I go very often, because I find many things at a good price, such as clothes, shoes, kitchen and cleaning utensils, gifts for friends, well, I like the store, I recommend it.”
“The shopping experience at the Morton Grove Kohl’s has always been very good for me. The associates are friendly and helpful, the store is neatly laid out, and the prices and deals are very good.”
“Tracey at Marshall’s is always friendly and helpful. Every time I come in she has a calm, welcoming way about her that makes shopping a little easier and more pleasant. It’s nice to see someone who takes their time to assist customers and does it with a good attitude. ❤️❤️❤️ She is truly the best!”
“The store is great, I really like it, but the opening hours are not true. I went there today and it turned out that it works until 8 pm, not until 9:30 pm, so it's better to correct the hours and tell customers that the store works until 8 on Sundays. I went in for 10 minutes and left. The employees politely apologized and asked me to leave. ???”
“I recently visited JCPenney for the first time in many years, and the experience reminded me why in-store shopping still has its own kind of magic. I decided to stop in on Black Friday, mostly out of curiosity, and I was genuinely surprised by how many great deals I found. From clothing to home items, the discounts were impressive, and I ended up picking up far more than I expected simply because the prices were too good to pass up. What stood out most was how enjoyable it felt to actually browse through the store. There’s something refreshing about seeing the merchandise in person, feeling the fabrics, comparing colors, and stumbling across unexpected finds. It’s an experience that clicking buttons online just can’t replicate. Walking through the aisles brought back a bit of nostalgia too—JCPenney has that familiar department-store charm that’s increasingly rare these days. The store was organized, easy to navigate, and the staff was helpful even with the holiday rush. Instead of dealing with shipping delays or guessing how something will look when it arrives, I left with everything I wanted right away. Overall, my return to JCPenney was a pleasant surprise, filled with great deals and the simple enjoyment of shopping the old-fashioned way. It definitely won me back.”
“Went to Binnys to get some Mike's Hard Lemonade, and Kurt helped me to my car. Great ? place. 5 stars. Called and picked up my order. Since I'm handicapped ♿️”
“I didn't really find what I was shopping for. But I found something else. I always find something for me or my sister at great prices. There's never a wasted trip to Ross. My sister and I visit 4 to 5 different Ross Stores. Once we target in on something we like.”
“I went in looking for a silicone cupcake pan and they had it. I visited 2 other craft stores in area. The pans were $35 and I purchased for $8 at t.j. maxx i found everything i needed here at a very affordable price. Very organized store”
“Decently clean most of the time, but the junior section is always out of stock in smaller sizes. There are never more than 1 or 2 self checkouts and cashiers open which usually results in lines. Despite all this I love coming here because there is always something new and fun to see.”
“Staff was very friendly and helpful - handled my friend's teacher discount even though they were Canadian, and I'd like to shout out Kit for being so welcoming and cool! Loved the variety of products and organization, very clean.”
