“Every interaction I had at Floor & Decor in Skokie was positive, which is rare in retail today. I purchased porcelain tile flooring, pencil tile, a mirror, and grout and caulking for a bathroom remodel. Ada and Glenn were especially helpful in finding the needed pencil tile to finish the project and ordering my mirror to ship from another store when it wasn’t in stock. When I returned our unused tile and grout, there was no hassle. Also pleased with the extensive selection of products offered here - it’s easy to view and shop. Highly recommend!”
“Person who helped me from beginning to end made the process of purchasing the item I wanted easy. She is knowledgeable and thorough and kept me informed throughout. Much appreciated!”
“We had a good experience here. Ordered two matresses. We first saw them when they were on sale, but then the sale price lifted by the time we were ready to buy, but we still were able to get the same deal that was on the original sale price for the matress which raised in price a lot. Jeremy was easy to work with also.”
“I ordered a dress and a pair of boots online from this Evanston boutique and had a great experience. The items were exactly as expected—great quality and true to the descriptions. They were beautifully packed and shipped out quickly. Communication was prompt and helpful throughout. I’m really happy with my purchase and would definitely shop here again!”
“I loved Sara Jane's boutique in Evanston and was happy to know that she has a presence in Skokie now. The shop displays unique fair trade items from around the world and each piece has a story. It's a great place to find special gifts while supporting good causes. Today I bought a hand painted Christmas ornament and two glass coasters.”
“Good HomeGoods packed with various things. Try the jams, there are some good hidden gems. Lots of bathroom organizers and random decor. There was also a really friendly guy at the cash register. Quick checkout too.”
“One of my favorite stores. The young ladies are Amazing on helping you find the Perfect piece of jewelry for you or a loved one. They appreciate every one that walks in just to look and see their beautiful jewelry 😍. Highly recommended 🥰🤗”
“Sinbad Oriental Foods is a fantastic local gem if you are looking for authentic South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Filipino ingredients. The aisles are packed with an impressive variety of spices, massive bags of rice, lentils, teas, and specialty snacks. They also have a solid frozen section as well as fresh dairy and refrigerated goods. Beyond the food, they carry a neat selection of cookware, unique home goods, and even specialty fragrances/perfumes near the front counter. The store is well-organized, clean, and perfect for stocking up your pantry with authentic items you won't find at a standard grocery store. Definitely worth a visit!”
“Stopped in today to pick up an order for a bridal shower, was greeted by Kathleen asking if I needed any help. When she came back with my order, I asked her if it would be possible to box it for me (glass items) and she said no problem at all. I think I could’ve requested that when placing the order online but she did not hesitate or seem bothered in the slightest when I asked. She was attentive and pleasant throughout our interaction, even answered my questions about the Epicurean cutting boards in the display nearby and I ended up purchasing one because of her input. Thank you, Kathleen, for the exceptional customer service!”
“My experience at Bob's was excellent. The guy that attended to us was pleasant, polite and very respectful. As if that is not enough, he had a great sense of humor. Also, his knowledge of the products was outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of. Y interactions with him.”
“From start to finish an exceptional customer service experience. Sheri K. Designer and Jorge and Frankie our delivery team. What a hard job Jorge and Frankie have and I want to say to Room and Board the delivery trucks need hydraulic lift gates. These delivery folks have back breaking jobs made harder without this equipment. Along with better hand trucks and dollies. Jorge and Frankie so kind and pleasant.”
“I went early morning as the store opened. I was greeted and helped as soon as I walked in. Kena and shayan were amazing. They were very professional. They both went out their way to help me find what I needed. I will always make that location my first choice.”
“Such an amazing and friendly store! One of the associates, Diane I believe (dark brown hair, glasses, young and very cool) helped me design my gallery wall right at the store. She brought multiple frames and we found the combination that looked best. She was amazing, and I’m so grateful for her expertise and guidance! Thank you”
“PSA: I normally don’t write reviews for big box stores but we’ve had such an overwhelmingly positive experience at this West Elm, I had to share! Every time we stop in, even if we’re just browsing, every team member greets us warmly and offers assistance. (And by this time, “here’s what’s new since you were in last!”) The main character of this review is Elle, so let’s talk about her. She’s taken photos we’ve sent of our new space, reworked our living room layout three times, and turned it into a home. Elle thoughtfully suggested great pieces (and fabrics that won’t give me the ick!) She’s doing hero work. If you have a new home — or you’re just wanting to feel excited about your home again — do yourself a favor and stop in at West Elm and let Elle work her magic.”
Two familiar names now share one storefront. Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store opened their first co-branded location in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 16, and the concept is spreading to nearly two dozen stores in what the company calls phase one.
Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
