“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.”
“She was an absolute ROCKSTAR answered all questions I asked and basically measured me by eyesight. Super friendly , walked out with a fitted new suit and some extra undershirt in less than an hour. They have my business from now on 💯”
“What an amazing store with master tailors who care. We stopped in and the owner behind the desk was such a wonderful soul. Thank you for answering all our questions and making us feel so comfortable.”
“Had to do an exchange and the clerk could not have been more helpful and customer oriented. He took care of everything with a cheerful attitude and made sure that I was taken care of. Nick is a true professional and truly represents Duluth Trading Company at its best”

“Fabulous selections! They got me for my son's wedding and now for my grandchild's bar mitzvah Saturday. I'm 87 but they make me feel no more than 77 with their perfect fitting! Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, not pushy, professional and patient. You'll only find quality selections. Thank you 😊 🙏
PS: and check out the gal on my arm!”
“They both were super kind, friendly, helpful, and sweet! Me and my little sister had Rain (based on what my receipt says), so I’m not sure who the other person working there today was.”
“Lovely eclectic store with very kind and helpful employees! I love coming here every couple months to see what new items they’ll have! Prices are pretty good compared to other stores in the area.”
“Awesome unique shop with something for everyone! Women’s and men’s clothes. Various home goods and accessories. Best of all dog friendly! The workers were all so sweet and helpful. Got some awesome BYGO half off deals too. Super cute shop and totally recommend.”
“Cute local souvenir store by downtown area. It's on one of the hill, not on the main road.
They have selections of clothes, hats, toys etc. We got a Bluey activity book that was on discount $5 only! Also I found a picture frame I liked. Colorful and good quality. A little expensive but it’s a tourist thing.
The lady was very nice and friendly. I feel people in this area are all pretty nice and easy going. I had lots fun visiting different stores in the neighborhood.”
“Nice and cozy outlet store, the two associates (I'm likely going to misspell their names: Ryan and Becca) were great help and gave me greatly desired info on my questions (that ranged from clothing to day-to-day type questions). I really enjoyed the time and am looking forward to trying out my new shoes and sunshirt. I greatly appreciate their patience and understanding! Thank you, 11.5/10 (10/10 naturally, +0.5 Thanks to Ryan, +0.5 Thanks to Becca, +0.5 For the absolute smooth process and complete satisfaction...which I dare say is hard to come by in this day and age)!”
“My wife and I travel annually to Maine and I always make time to stop in this particular store. Their curated selection of men’s clothing is second to none. The attention to detail and the responsiveness of the staff is always refreshing. As an example from my most recent trip: I found a shirt I loved and one of the staff noticed that it was slightly too long. Without hesitation they offered to alter the garment and even to ship it to me since I lived out of state.
This kind of service will keep me coming back and purchasing items for as long as I visit Portland. My only regret is that they don’t have more stores nationwide - but the fact that there is only one store is likely what makes it that much more special. I can’t wait to come back to David Wood next year.”
“I went to the Blue Lobster to checkout their souvenirs before heading back to Boston. They have so much good stuff in there! Staff was friendly and helped me. The Blue Lobster has mugs, magnets, merch and much more! I almost spent my entire check in there. Their store is pretty spacious too so it’s quite easy to move around and shop. I purchased 2 long sleeve tops. They are good quality and affordable!”
“The best shoe store I've ever shopped in. Staff were pleasant, but Aaron went above and beyond, trying to get running shoes that would fit my wide feet. A great salesman and a super guy. Shopping there was 1 of the 2 or 3 highlights of my Maine vacation. Too bad South Portland wasn't closer to my home in Nova Scotia.”
“Caleb was great to work with! Listened to our wants and gave us some great options! My husband walked away with a great looking suit and sport coat that will last!”
“The team at Lululemon in the Maine mall is amazing!! Irelan went above and beyond and wrote a handwritten note congratulating me on my upcoming dental school journey and suggested some clothing material such as scrubs and gear. Thank you so much Irelan, you were amazing!”
“We stop by every year and always find something awesome. There’s something for everyone. Last time I grabbed a high-quality butcher knife, my wife found a great dress, and my son was beyond happy with a new watch.”
“Staff is always friendly when they help you. They’ll suggest items if you ask for input. They try to bring a few sizes out if they don’t have yours or if they have personal experience on a shoe you haven’t tried yet.”
“My Blueberries for Sal shirt is very comfy, has stayed in good shape for years and gets tons of comments. Highly recommend them, and will be back for another shirt when we're next in town”
“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.”
“My wife and I take an anniversary trip to Portland, Maine every year by and I always splurge at this shop for their high end men’s wear. Their staff is highly attentive to fit and extraordinarily helpful. I will always make an intentional effort to shop here when we visit - my only regret is that they don’t have more stores nationwide! Couldn’t recommend more highly enough!”
“Colby was my associate today and gave outstanding, kind service to me and my friend! He was the only one working in a very busy store. Especially this time of year! Kudos to Colby.”
“I was in tonight around 7:30pm near closing and had such great customer service from Kathleen! Kathleen was helpful, instantly made me feel welcome and offered suggestions for other items I might enjoy. The whole interaction felt super genuine — I very much appreciated it, especially going in so late. You’re a gem, Kathleen!!”

“Large variety of sizes! I was looking for a gift for my nephew and was helped by one of the girls. The mens tend to run a size larger. My nephew ended up loving the hoodie we got him and the fit was great!”
“Incredible staff and well stocked and visually appealing store. The location is an old bank and oh my god its so interesting to look at. My only complaint is for the staff, I wish Urban Outfitters would splurge and get these wonderful ladies full time security so they are able to do their jobs without worrying about being harassed, assaulted, or worst by shop lifters.”
“I didn't even know this store had switched over to a "factory store". The prices were all 50 -60% off and there were a lot of really nice pieces. I was pleasantly surprised when I went in to see that they were still carrying nice things. They carry women's, men's and childrens clothes. (Not a big selection of children's clothes)”
“Stopped in on our weekend up from Boston. Very impressed with how clean and well stocked this location was! The staff was very friendly, and could not have been more accommodating helping me find some great new pieces for spring!”
“I constantly buy clothes and shoes at this store. They have an excellent selection of clothing and footwear. I wear an extra small size, and many stores don't carry my size, but this one does. Special thanks to the manager of this store.”
“I had a funny experience here with my son fairly recently. We always go in to Spencers for t shirts when we’re at the mall. We don’t venture past the t shirt walls, but would possibly consider doing so if it wasn’t so overcrowded feeling in the store. Other than the space issue, the shirt selection is good and I can never pass up a buy 4 get 1 free sale.We went in around the holidays and got some shirts. When we got to the counter the person waiting on us made a joke about judging our taste in music based on what t shirts we were buying. My son and I are both Nirvana fans and had each gotten a new shirt. Our cashier commented “ah Nirvana…name 3 songs” I came up with some of the lesser known titles I knew to prove that I wasn’t a poser. This seemed to satisfy and the transaction went smoothly. On our way out our amateur band critic of a Spencer’s associate commented in seeming approval of the “Kendrick Lamar” hoodie my son was wearing. We didn’t have the heart to tell them that it was actually Jimi Hendrix hahahaha”
“I love this store. I don't know what it is about this store, but I feel like a little kid walking into a toy store when I come here. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe it's because the staff always greet and recognize you every time you walk in. Or maybe it's because there's always tons of items stocked inside waiting to be bought. The only thing I would say about going here is items can sometimes be VERY pricey. So just remember to bring some cash whenever you feel like coming here. Other then that, this store is a excellent place to shop and always a great place to be a part of!”
“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.”
