“My name is Amanda. Im a 57 year old young women, and what I have just experienced at y’all’s so called establishment is unforgettable, unforgivable, and unspindled. I went with my 10 YEAR OLD Faith. First off, I couldn’t even find the Sephora! I walked for HOURS inside the Kohls. It STUNK inside. And my shin was throbbing in the most utmost pain after getting knee surgery. I had to walk so much! And my poor sweet baby of Jesus child, Faith, she was in distress. She has declaring to get the new Drunk Elephant bronzi drops. Anything for my baby, even if it means spending all my life savings for all her products. After many hours, helpless frolicking in sorrow, I finally decided to ask a staff member for help. I cannot believe they didn’t see me limping in pain and a confused grin on my face. Not to mention Faith, who was gripping her Lululemon fanny pack in complete anguish. After screaming at this young man for not noticing, I was met with groundbreaking news. The Sephora was outside and not in Kohls. This horrific costumer service and completely misleading name made me completely fathomed. How could they treat me, a paying, respectful, container, and a well-respected and well-functioning citizen be completely manipulated and abused! I stomped away and clenched my fists, while Faith was in distress begging for the the drunk elephant. She couldn’t wait ANY longer, she was just about to rip her hair out!! I am a horrible mother! How could I treat her like this! After the long, dreading, walk to the exit, I quickly fixed my bleached bob to prepare for this next atrocity. After walking briefly to the Sephora next door I was in a trance. I ripped open the door. I roared at the top of my lungs gripping faith while tears fell from her precious, innocent, due to her having to wait excruciatingly every second for her sacred drunk elephant. I roared, WHERE IS YALLS THE DRUNK ELEPHANT BRONZI DROPS. These staff members approached me in a bratty strut, to break my sweet baby heart, by saying they were out of the drunk elephant by other preppy teens. Faith broke down. She sobbed into the dirty Sephora while saying her life is over. I AM NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS COMPANY EVER. FAITH WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS TRAUMATIC EVENT. GOODBYE FOREVER.”

“Went with a bestie on a rainy Friday night. Found lots of items, all at great prices. Shoes, chairs, pool toys, camping gear, and a treato for the dog. Staff was friendly, no one asked us if we needed help while shopping. When we did need help carrying a large item after check out, an employee offered to assist and we took him up on it.”
“I went in looking to buy some at home spa supplies for a friend. This was out of my zone and Patricia and Ashley gladly helped me out and gave me some suggestions. Thank you so much for the friendly help!”
“I love this store. there’s something for everyone, the prices are fabulous, the selection changes frequently, and the staff are so nice. Plus this company really seems to do a good things in the community. I shop here regularly, and recommend the store highly.”
“Great store. Great employees. Don’t try to shop here before a winter storm. People act like zombies are coming. Just remember you live in Maine and everything will be all right.”
“Loved this local gift and souvenir store the moment I walked into it. I scoured their website and IG for the exact sweatshirt I had seen in store and when I didn't find it online, I reached out via phone. Their inventory manager Jordan was so helpful and pleasant over the phone. She went above and beyond and located the exact size/make of the sweatshirt and arranged for it to be mailed to me! Happy to support a locally owned business with such friendly vibes.”

“Not a runway store but a decently large store with a variety of selections. Pretty stocked and organized location. I was able to find great finds that I was hunting for. Happy to have stopped by here for sure.”
“Great selection of items. However, pricier on many of the same items that can be found further down the road at lower cost. Some unique items for sure but compare prices down the road , on the Maine souvenirs you’ll be seeing a short walk further. ❤️??”
“On Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, my mother and I went to the Macy’s in the Maine Mall. We were in the perfume department when Barbie, a Macy’s employee, asked if she could help us. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the various perfumes and what was trending. Her open and kind manner was so pleasant. My mom did end up getting a new scent. Barbie is a phenomenal sales woman. She is a real asset.”
“FIRST time in Portland wonderful customer service from the slim girl with the afro and the light skin girl with the braces. Super chill vibes found what I needed”
“I always find exactly what I need. Found my new favored work shoes. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, allowing me to return something that didnt fit, I received as a gift.”
“Good customer service and lots of products available. They do not have a self wash dog wash. I should have checked that before I brought my dog in, but at least he had fun sniffing around the aisles.”
“I wanted to update my review of this particular Walmart for a very specific reason (I've finally healed from the trauma the elephant inflatable caused; I realize that was more of an issue with Walmart.com than the Walmart in Scarborough), and that's their impressive meat alternative selection in the freezer aisle! As of writing this, they offer not only these well-known brands but an impressive selection from their individual portfolios! Like: + Morning Star Farms (chik patties*, sausage, crumbles, bacon, chick'n and waffle sandwiches, and sausages on a stick wrapped in blueberry pancakes*) + Gardein (mandarin orange crispy chick'n*, ground be'f, chick'n strips, f'sh filets*, turk'y cutlets*, and their ultimate chick'n filet*s, ultimate nuggets°, ultimate buffalo chick'n wings, ultimate sausage links°) + Beyond (plant-based seared steak tips, meatballs, nuggets, crumbles, sausage) + Impossible (bowls, chicken patties, meatballs) + JUST (folded egg*) AND they also offer a bunch of newer brands/brands I haven't found elsewhere in Greater Portland: + Tattooed Chef (plant based beef burrito* and chicken burrito bowls, plant based cheese enchiladas, açai bowls, and more [I am starting to see these at select Hannafords now]) + Daring (plant chicken wings°, cajun chicken wings, grilled chicken pieces, lemon and herb chicken pieces) + Omni (plant-based potstickers°, spring rolls°, luncheon meat, crab cakes°) + Simulate (plant-based tenders°, spicy nuggs, and dino-shaped nuggs) + Wholly Veggie (plant-based mozzarella style sticks, cheddar style jalapeño sticks°, ranch cauliflower wings, buffalo cauliflower wings, and more) + Happi Foodi (plant-based potato hash bowl, shawarma bowl, bulgogi bowl, enchilada bowls) * = items I particularly love! ° = items I haven't tried yet but am excited to! While I try to support local as much as I possibly can, sometimes my budget is just tight. A lot of our grocery budgets are tight. And if you're also trying to live an entirely (or at least mostly) plant-based lifestyle, things get even more expensive. It's all a balance, right? I don't want to buy from Walmart, I do want to buy from these brands; these brands are cheaper at Walmart. See what I'm saying? (I do stand by my previous review on some points, though. This particular Walmart: - has the most chaotic parking lot; no one knows who's doing what, there are some places you can drive in but not drive out, some places that mysteriously have dead-ends, and being a pedestrian? YIKES - so park as far as you can and walk in is my advice! - is **always** dirty. - the Customer Service line is as confusing as the parking lot - skip if possible.)”
“Joseph was EXTREMELY helpful with exchanging a pair of Levi's for the correct size I needed!!! I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy anything here in the future! 5 stars,! Highly recommended!!!”
“First things first my hairstylist is just absolutely amazing no matter where she goes and does. She always goes above and beyond for her clients. & I am so happy for her happiness now, since she has joined your team.
Secondly I am so glad I followed her over when she moved to your salon. This salon is so much better than what I was used to all the way around. The environment and atmosphere is just so much more relaxed and peaceful. I feel welcomed and like I belong every time I go in there. Great job and thank you for what you do.
lastly, I just wanted to say that they are very workable and make it very easy to make appointments weather that's online or via phone call. As of what I know from experience they are very prompt if you have a scheduled appointment.
I would definitely recommend this salon.”

“I do all my shopping now with Wallmart plus it is so much better than the competition. If I need something in a hurry, they will deliver it within an hour, and I love the prices and the delivery and the extra Paramount+ TV.”
“Even when busy I find it easy to get what I need and get out. Obviously the biggest time consumer is waiting in line for a cashier but generally the wait isnt too long (when there is a wait) and the self checkout is usually pretty quick to move everyone through. They are usually well stocked and thats important especially considering Im usually buying multiples of whatever item im there to get (Im assuming a lot of people are doing the same). I go there for a wide range of items such as cleaning products, makeup, sports cards and sports card supplies, groceries (snacks and breakfast, lunch and dinner items) shower and self care products for both men and women. Its also the first place I check when Im trying to purchase something ive never bought before as there is a fairly good chance they carry whatever it is Im looking for.”
“I love the Westbrook target due to how friendly and helpful the staff is. The Alta Beauty in this store is where I buy alot of my skincare and makeup. And was the employee I encountered on my most recent visit there. She was very knowledgeable and she guided me to the best products suitable to my requests. I can honestly say that I am going to continue my shopping at this location due to her going above and beyond my expectations.”
“Kohl’s in Westbrook is great overall. The latest change to combining pickups, returns, and purchases into one location had made for exceedingly long lines with too few workers. The people who are working are friendly and hardworking, but they can only do so much especially if there is only 1 or 2 people with 10 or more people in line.”
