“It's a necessary stop if you need to get graduation tickets, and good place to get navy swag if you're into that. But if you're able and neeed a no kidding NEX goto the one on the school side of the base, it's got what you need.”
“Panda Express employees at the NEX were very polite with customers especially one of them Anahi, she told me that they didn’t have anymore of the Chocolate chip chunk cookies at Panda Express and she got me a chocolate chunk cookie later from Dunkin Donuts. She deserves a shoutout or bump in her pay raise or something! She deserves it! Thank you again Anahi for your kindness!”
“No screaming kids running around and stuff everywhere, thank you for keeping it this clean and organized. It gave me a chance to look around and get what I was looking for without feeling overwhelmed.”
“If you're looking for decent pricing and unusual items this is the place to go. You can find items there you can't find anywhere else. Great place for browsing and shopping”
“After reading some negative reviews, I honestly had a completely different experience. Ksenia was extremely helpful, patient, and professional. She went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience much easier. Really appreciate her customer service!”
“I am new in town and stopped for some items. My children mistakenly forgot to take some of the items we purchased and left it in the front. Thank God, We were able to recover it after noticing that we left the items at the store (after 4 days). We talked to Mr. Jay (store manager) was professional and courteous and respectful, thank you for believing in the customer sir and we will definitely be coming to your store more because of your actions. We appreciate people like you and have a blessed one.”
“JCPenney is one of the most unknown and underrated stores for young people however they might know about it and I don’t know that’s highly possible also. They are exceptionally fashionable for guys that are in their late teens up until about 8:30 with a brand called mutual weave. Kohl’s also carries the brand but tends to only carry their stuff which is unbelievably cropped short now that is the style now and nothing wrong with being in style, but they are cropped so short that unless you’re 16, they’re probably going to be an inch above your belt line not at your belt line, but the ones that JCPenney carries are super excellent. They also stopped carrying dockers and they have the shack the basketball guy, his brand clothing there which is the best big man clothing in the world and somehow mutual weave does the same thing too. Everything they have for mutual weave also comes in the super sizes I think of the size 4X or 5X just super super great. Their store is really really excellent. The biggest mistake they’re making is staying attached to malls. Indoor malls. Kohl’s has gotten away from that and has intentionally more went to single stand locations or mostly at very large outdoor strip malls. Indoor malls obviously are dead and if JCPenney doesn’t get to new locations, they’re going to be in real trouble. Their location at Gulf Mill is really good. They also carry a lot of really great clothes for teens or younger women. A lot of jeans and pants with what that I say are bellbottoms, but nowadays they say the word flare they also carry the Arizona Jean brand. Again such an underrated store. Their clearance area is unbelievable. What they do is they have an automatic system that tracks a price tag so once it’s in the store so long, even if they don’t move it to clearance or get moved to a different location it’s on clearance even if it doesn’t say clearance I was recently there and they have a brand that they carry for I guess men in their 20s so I know I’m buying two young clothes but it’s called stylist it’s I’m Shirts that are mostly not cotton but pretty cool solid colors I recently spotted one of their shirts and I think it was $39 but it was on sale for 18 and when I got to the cash register, it said five which is what happens but they also have a separate area that all of these five dollar items are in and it’s just amazing. Maybe there you won’t quite find the younger people’s clothing and then they still carry their brand St. John’s Bay, which would be more for men in the 40s 50s or 60s years old very stylish though.”
“Very comfortable Kohls location. They have a dedicated big and tall section for men, and stire is always clean and organized. I always make it a point to stop here whenever I'm in the area.”
“When I went to Starbucks for a little treat Yesenia was so nice and took the time with my drink. It was one the best made coffees I had in a while. I felt truly special as a customer and will come back soon :)”
“We had several Amazon returns and ran into a few technical difficulties due to mistakes on our end. Kathleen handled everything with a smile and made us laugh. Truly great service. Thanks!”
“One of the managers (Maggie) was extremely helpful and kind working with me on a luggage return and went above and beyond to make the experience painless and was very understanding. Thank you, Maggie!!”
“Its a real dollar store where everything really is $1. I hate the ones that you go in thinking its a $1 store but its not. (I think family dollar is one of those phony imposters. If I'm wrong about that then I apologize FD but I'm pretty sure it was you.)”
“Had a good shopping experience at Marshalls. The store offers a great variety of products at affordable prices, and I found some good deals on quality items. The staff was helpful, and the selection of clothing, home goods, and accessories is impressive. The only area for improvement is keeping the store more organized and maintaining cleaner surroundings. Overall, a good place for value shopping.”
“The Starbucks at the Gurnee Mills Macy is spectacular!! The manager and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They were superstars for the unicorn Frappuccino. Bravo. Well done”
“Love this dollar tree, all the employees are great, store is always clean, BUT, the girl working tonight with the headphones on while she's checking people out- Got To Go!”
“Came to check out the perfume cabinet. Pretty good selections lots of large bottles though. Some small bottles too. Versace, Carolina Hererra, to name a few. They close at 7pm on Sundays. We came just about when they were about to close and they kept announcing lol. We didn’t realize the time but would have love to browse around more.”
“This is a classic Macy's store, large with many departments, great selection of everything. Price point can be high, but they can have some amazing sales. Customer service is ok, this is definitely an area Macy's needs to improve on, especially for the kind of store they are. Another thing that was disappointing was the lack of maintenance, every Escalator was out of service. I do like Macy's, if they improve Customer service I will give them 4 stars.”
“I was here 1/10/2026 picking up food I ordered online, and I decided to check the store. Shout out to Nathaniel for going above and beyond with his kindness and hard work. I was looking for something and I was walking around at first, but I decided to ask. Nathaniel was the one that look for the item and was able to find one for me. All the staffs I met were helpful and kind. Thank you, guys Thank you very much!”
“You can find some branded clothes in a reasonable price, Also good for home improvement, Return policy is excellent, not necessary to go to same branch for returns you can return at any of their stores.”
“I have enjoyed this store for many years but lately it seems to have become even better. I love their selection of housewares and amazing range of jeans. There is always at least one item of clothing that I absolutely love and have to try on! The staff at the moment are amazing, so kind, professional and unbelievably helpful! They always have a great sales selection as well! The store is always clean, organized and with plenty of parking!”
“Associates Mia and Kimorah deserve a raise! Showed exquisite customer service. Hands down. Made me feel very welcomed were very helpful and professional yet kind. This Target is a 10 out of 10.”
“This Target feels like a secret honestly, it's never packed which is wild for how well stocked it is. I've found stuff here that's sold out everywhere else, including a bunch of the trending TikTok items other locations never seem to have. Calm shopping trip every time, no fighting for a parking spot or dealing with empty shelves.”
“Prices are cheaper than other stores. They're friendly. Also, for the first time I used OnDemandDoc and it was fabulous. The prescription was sent to the pharmacy Walmart of my choice. Thanks Walmart. ?”
“Michelle (brown short hair) from the counter was so sweet and nice to me, she was super helpful and helped us when she didn’t need to go out of her way”
“The security guard, Bryan, was very helpful and awesome. He helped take care of some furniture while we went to grab a larger car, he even helped with carrying and loading it! Such a cool guy!”
“I used to avoid this place because of the customer service, but now it’s one of my favorite places to visit. The staff are much more welcoming, especially Rusul, who is always friendly, helpful, and treats customers like friends. Great service—keep up the good work!”
“I am a big fan of Macy's, especially the Backstage section. I always seem to find something to buy there, even if I'm not really looking for anything. They usually have some good bargains of you look hard enough. On this trip I found some cute Christmas hand towels. I also feel good because I supported a woman owned business. Macy's Backstage has discounted items from every section on the store.”
“I just want to shout out an employee named Aldo. Very nice guy, he helped my elderly uncle bag his groceries since there is no cashier there on a register to scan items past a certain time I guess. But you guys should hire more employees like him!”
“Absolutely AMAZING DOLLAR STORE! ! !Everything you can imagine and much, Much MORE! ! ! I drive 20 miles for the last 10 years to get the best deals for all and any occasion. Christmas shopping for my kids, family and friends done in 1 stop, even those people for whom it's hard to find a gift! Items you would need to run a whole mall for at a Fraction of the price, even chain dollar stores. Got my kiddos warm gloves, winter fluffy socks, hats, slippers and bunch of other little gifts. Christmas decorations and off season too for theme parties all year long. CHICAGO GIFTS for friends and family: keychains, shot glasses, mugs, t-shirts, hats... way cheaper than any place around, especially when we go to visit family overseas or have them come here and need dozens of little gifts, as everyone will be expecting something... NAVY, Marine Corps and Army merchandise.Plus everything else you would expect to find at a dollar store! ! !And since I asked last time I was in, the owner ordered more of big plastic Alphabet and Number posters that my almost 11 year old loved, as he's teaching his 3 year old baby sister now❤️The owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met and is always there, no matter if I'm there early day after Thanksgiving or a busy weekend”
