“Awesome skatepark! It is really big and they have a variety of obstacles which I love. Its the only park I've been to with a bowl. Love the atmosphere and the skate shop part of it too.”

“I have had the pleasure of visiting 847RC several times over the past month or so and I had to share what a special place the team over there have curated. When I first began my running journey in 2008 there were only proper running stores in Downtown Chicago where I could get a proper fitting for my stride. Those days are so long gone thanks to 847RC! ??♀️Now, I can simply call upon my friends down the street at 847 to help me feel my best while I pound the pavement. I know exactly where to go when I need to get fitted, vent about my tight IT bands, stock up on goo gels, and be a part of a running community that truly treats me like family every time I walk (or run ?) in the door. Not to mention, they carry all the high-performing gear brands at friendly prices for those of us who know that what you wear and how you feel on your runs make all the difference!Whether you’re just getting started on the path or are a seasoned Ultra runner, 847 has your back (and feet!). Stop in and experience the shop for yourself today! Lake County is so lucky to have you, 847RC! Thank you! ??♀️”
“I had a great experience, as always, at Road Runner Kildeer yesterday. Demetrice (I think I spelled it correctly) was amazing, patient and helpful. I tried on a bunch of shoes to get the right fit and replacement for my old shoes. I just love that the staff here is so helpful and friendly. Thanks, Road Runner!”
“Nicole was super helpful when my son and I went to get shoes today. She was kind, accommodating, and I would definitely recommend getting shoes here. Thank you so much! My son got a great pair of Vans, and a good sale price too.”
“I have very good experience with this store. Professional and very helpful sales persons. Unique inventory. Clean, beautiful and very cozy store. I want to come back to this place every time.”
“Had the most amazing experience! The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable! I brought my 1 year old here because we were having a hard time finding shoes that fit. He had multiple options to pick from and all of them fit! I am definitely recommending all my mom friends to check it out!”
“Such a great collection and SO helpful. So much personal attention when I needed to pull together an outfit asap for a grad weekend. They helped me find pieces I love and best of all can wear again and again over the summer. They even helped me choose jewelry to complete my outfit. Not only was I ready for the weekend but even walked out with a Mother’s Day gift and a graduation gift!”

“I go here at least once a month and I have never had a bad experience with the staff or the environment. Shoes, clothes, backpacks and socks are available here. Store is always clean, staff always polite and well dressed and the prices are amazing.. I love this store. Keep up the good work guys.”
“Great experience 12/16/24 afternoon. Really good sale, outstanding selection but wanted to say thank you to the staff which asked several times if they could help. Which they did. I didn't catch the young woman and young man's name but they were polite and efficient. The backpack bags my purchases were packed in are a nice touch! Thanks!”
“I've been to this location 4 times now and an employee has offered to help me each time. Inventory has been great, many options and my size has been in stock.”
“Great selection. Everything you could possibly need for your baby. Taking one star off because prices are usually higher than other stores but they almost always have a twenty percent off coupon.”
“Absolutely love this place for baby clothes! Everything is usually on sale for a great price. I was having troubles picking out a gift for a friend’s baby, the wonderful lady who was working, who I forgot her name, was super helpful, super attentive, and gave me many options to chose from (which were all hard because all the clothes are so cute!) Definitely come here if you’re looking for baby items! Cannot recommend enough.”
“I have been buying Red Wings my whole life. I absolutely love them. They have a great new machine for measuring your foot pressure and shoe size. They also offer new orthopedic shoe inserts!”
“They have some of my favorite brands and some I hadn’t tried yet. I picked up a lightweight pair of shorts and a classy shirt along with some necessities. Their staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, and they’re located near a restaurant with delicious food - Firks. When I can’t get back, I’ll use their website to shop.”
“I am a bigger guy. However, I really don't care about all the crazy fashion that crops up every season. I just want nice looking jeans, button down shirts, and 1/2 zip and hoodie sweatshirts to fit right. For awhile, some stores had good clothing for plus size people. Kohl's carried a couple brands that were stylish and fit well, but then they stopped carrying them only to re-introduce those same brands with ill-fitting plus size options. Marshall Field's had a few items which became Macy's, and they had fewer still. The Winston Box, a monthly subscription mail order service boasts a way to find great options for any plus size and truthfully, they never sent items that fit well.
However, DXL (a.k.a. Destination XL) has always had options that work well with my body type. I'm a Polo fan and not a big fan or their house brand, Harbor Bay. With that being said, Harbor Bay's t-shirts and jackets are awesome and fit great.
DXL always has new options and brings in new brands that offer nice options such as Vineyard Vines, Psycho Bunny, Robert Graham, and more. Lately, I love the Lucky Brand jeans as they fit so well, and recently purchased the softest, most comfortable Vineyard Vines hoodie (actually, wearing both the hoodie and jeans right now).
Plus, DXL offers workout closes, casual clothes, dress clothes, suits, shoes, and accessories.
Lastly, the Vernon Hills location (close to me) has such a wonderful staff. Over the years, their staff has changed, but they are very friendly and always offer to help you find what you're looking for or are happy to remains hands off and let you do your own shopping. And they remember you whether you frequent them often or your visits are limited to a few times a year. I hardly visit any other store and if they don't have something in their store, they are happy to reach out to other locations to help you find your size and color you desire. I love this place!”
“The whole staff was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, I had to exchange my daughter shoe but good energy both times. Ended up, buy her another pair that day as well. !!+”
“I have been shopping at Olivia's Boutique for years. Not only is the clothing amazing, but the owner Lynne celebrates women of all ages and sizes. She has an incredible eye for fashion, and knows how to put outfits together that are unique and timeless. I love this store and will continue to shop at Olivia's for years to come!”
“Clean store, friendly staff. Greeted and treated like I existed. Found what I needed and the staff kindly suggested some other items too. Looking forward to visiting soon again thanks vans.”
“I came to this Anthropologie with 8 days before my wedding (yes, it was a VERY fast turnaround wedding) with my mom and both of my sisters. I wasn't looking for a "wedding dress" per se, was looking for an awesome sequins dress. Myself, my mom and both of my sisters each found the perfect dress that evening. And we couldn't have done it without the amazing crew at this Anthropologie. Not only did they make this shopping experience so fun, but they were helping bringing us all the dresses they had, and overnighting a particular dress - only ONE left in the entire country. I've never experienced a team of staff as dedicated to making our visit unforgettable. To everyone there - from the bottom of my heart - thank you.”
“I was so excited to see that there was a Nordstrom Rack at this location.
I wear size 13 women's shoes and I have to usually buy everything online but Nordstrom rack has an amazing selection of shoes at every size!”

“I love shopping here in stores and online but the one thing I hate is the employees that approach me too often. I understand they have to do their job but they overdo it especially during the holidays. Last year I went with my sister and we were both shopping minding our business but tell me why I was approached like 3-4 times by different employees. Back to back the second and third time like bro let me shop in peace. When I get constantly approached like that it makes me think that they think I’m stealing and that makes me uncomfortable. Other than that in the past I’ve found good finds and received good help when I asked for it. I’m still gonna go this year for my holiday shopping but I hope they don’t approach me too often. Also the music is too loud sometimes.”

“The women there are so kind and helpful. Thank you ladies for helping me pick out two dresses for my son’s wedding and upcoming events.
You made my day with your assistance and experience. Thank you again.”
“I found a great pair of shoes at this place. But when the giy went to the back to grab the other shoe they did not have it. An hour before someone switched up the sizes and sold them. But the people at the counter were very nice about it.”
“My fiance found this place to cheer me up as I was feeling down about myself. There were so many beautiful lingerie outfits in here, anything you could want, this is the place! They have a great variety in sizes as well, I was happy to see a lot of stuff in plus size options. One of my new favorite stores now!
We plan to come back again sometime ?”
“Thank you so much for getting me back to jogging and walking! I love being on my feet!! If feet pain is stopping you from walking, this is the place to get that fixed!!”
“Hanna was wonderful helping me find exactly what I was looking for ! She was extremely kind and patient as I asked her to help me find a few things online that weren’t in my size at the store and find a belt in my size. Will definitely be going again soon!”
“I just bought a pair of shoes at Skechers. They have extra wide and it was really nice experience beautiful store the sales person named Erin did a great job. She was knowledgeable about size and inventory and was very nice. My dad and Brother both own shoe stores and I grew up working in shoe stores and she was an excellent sales person. Thank you.”
“I have had a great experience at the Gurnee, IL location! Very clean, organized and very helpful staff with appropriate questions and stellar suggestions.
I’ve been an ER Nurse Practitioner for 24 year, worked 5 years prior to that as an RN. I have been a Locums worker (agency) and traveled throughout the state of Illinois. Trust me when I give this store a high rating. I do this without hesitation.
My only disappointment was they do not carry a better quality shoe. Not a supportive (Dansko or similar) to be found.
I can go elsewhere for shoes but this will be my único store!!—> Cynthia”
“Lots of shoe, boot and sandal choices. Fairly good size availability but prices are outrageously high. Much more reasonable prices are available from online shoe websites.”
