Not a bad location — I thought they had a decent selection of items, but nothing top tier. Definitely understaffed, as others have said. I did have to wait in the check out line to ask for a fitting room key, and thankfully the line wasn’t terrible or I wouldn’t have. The employees were super kind about it, though.

We were in the area and decided to stop by. This place is definitely a hot or miss. We found two shirts but nothing else. This place was very clean and worth checking out if your in the area.
