“I stopped by Leigh’s today and had the most awesome experience with Rebecca James (Becks) . I was in a wonderful large dressing room with fantastic mirrors and Becks brought me in one beautiful, fantastic fitting outfit after another. She immediately picked up on my taste in clothing and the best styles and cuts for my petite silhouette. I did not know it was possible to have a shopping experience like this! She spent hours with me and checked in the room regularly. She was so friendly, warm, inviting and helpful!! I have found my shopping expert for life. From now on, I will only be shopping at Leigh’s with Becks!! Thank you so much, Rebecca!! I appreciate your help and yoU so much!! Best, Nancy Busch”
“I absolutely LOVE Periwinkle FOG! The team is very friendly and thoughtful. They care about their community and carry amazing merch. They have beautiful local art and craft goods. Check them out as soon as you can!”
“Hot topic is my favorite store. It matches my style so well, I just wish we had one closer to where I live, we had to drive about an hour to get there. The workers were SO nice. I love this place”
“Pretty nice. You don't typically see a place like this in Grand Rapids. Definitely NYC style. I learned about this place on the suggestions page of the Celebrity PA Network's website. Highly recommend.”
“Kathy Jo was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and made me feel confident in my purchases -she listened to my peculiarities and found me items that were perfect! Thank you!”
“Dear Prudence is a cute little boutique and has a variety of casual and dressy outfits and a wide selection of jewelry and accessories. Their stock changes frequently and there's also something new when I visit. Prices vary, generally anywhere from $25-$70 for most items. They also have good sale prices! Service is friendly and I would recommend for anyone looking for something unique and new for their personal or professional wardrobe.”
“The manager at the Buckle in Woodland Mall was exceptional. That is what real service is. I came leave to pick up my rock revival jeans and not only did they give me the jeans an hour ahead of when they opened but they did not charge me for delivery of the second pair that had not arrived yet with Federal Express. He listens to customers and knows what it takes for a repeat customer. Thank you.”
“Wonderful boutique with a God-honoring mission to treat others fairly and kindly. Emily, the owner, was so welcoming the minute I stepped inside the store! She is genuinely passionate about caring for those who have been affected by human trafficking and making sure every item is ethically sourced. I definitely recommend stopping by for a varied, purposeful, and beautiful assortment!”
“Shopping for a birthday present, looking for a daypack, didn’t find one here but they had some really nice clothes. I will probably come back early fall as they had some nice fall shirts that I liked. Nice selection!”
“I’m not going to dock stars just because I personally think prices are sky high; obviously there are a few guys willing to pay them and someone behind the scenes is trying to make it in a tough biz. But $50 for nothing-special sweatshirts and $40 and up denim (which feels like 1/2 the store), I don’t understand this store at all. $80 for some basic Lands End type coat was just mind numbing.
The couple times I’ve tried shopping here, not once have I bought anything. Just 20 reviews in 2+ years being open lends credence to that. I will say it is a beautiful, intimate store that’s well organized; and there are some cool pieces especially if you’re into any Detroit teams/local collegiate.”
“Prices here are all over the map, so check the tag of whatever you just found before you decide if you love it, but there are some really great deals tucked here and there. They are also the ONLY store in the city to carry women's size 4 and 4.5 shoes, and I'm very grateful that they do!”
“I've visited this store several times I've the past year (2022) and the store is always clean and organized. The staff are friendly and always willing to help too.”
“Super cute clothes! They also have a wide variety of jewelry, gifts and other accessories. This would be a great place to shop locally for a gift too! Overall, this lovely shop is amazing and it's my new favorite! I got a couple bracelets for friends and they loved them, I love mine too, and my dress and blouses!”
“I’m so glad we have a store like this in our community. I had a great conversation with Marta when I stopped in yesterday and bought a super comfy organic cotton cardigan. This store represents the mindset shift that is so desperately needed around clothes, for our health, for the planet, and for workers’ rights. Clothing is an investment that should be chosen carefully and made to last using natural materials and planet-conscious production methods. Garment workers around the world have been abused for far too long, being paid so little for their skill and labor and working in unsafe conditions. We all bear responsibility for changing this and I believe we can do it. Thank you, Clothing Matters, for offering a local place where we can educate ourselves, get creative, and build a better world!”
“Melisa did an amazing purple vivid on my hair! My hair is naturally jet black and she managed to lift it and the result is a vibrant purple that I’m absolutely obsessed with!!??”

“Really cute place, small but had great items, bought a couple dresses quite unlike any of my other dresses. Great prices, great selection, great staff. My only thing is the mannequin by the changing room makes it hard to close the curtain without a gap.”

“I love the idea of working out and that it's good for me but I am terrible at doing it on my own. By going to Pure Barre I have connections with other women who have similar goals, am held accountable to correct form and intensity from the instructors, and the schedule is flexible yet varied enough that I can almost always find a class when I want one. It checks all the boxes!”
“This store was Awesome, the service that Diane and team provided was EXCEPTIONAL. This is how it used to be at Nordstroms, they listened to what we were needing and made suggestions. My wife found 5 items in under 20 min. First place we will choose again for woman's clothing.”
“Very cute shop. Went in on a recommendation from another mom and teen duo. Traveling in the area and stopped in—both my teenage daughter and I enjoyed the selection. Very friendly staff, nice array of items. Love shopping small and female and minority owned.”
“I had been a regular customer of WHBM for many years. I moved to Northern Michigan and retired, so no longer needed dressy/professional clothing. My mom passed away last week in GR and I needed a dress for her funeral. I first went to Macy’s and found that there were limited dressing rooms available and very long lines. I didn’t have time to wait. It dawned on me that WHBM is now in Woodland Mall. I walked into the store and Susan, the store manager, remembered me. She totally “styled” me. I cannot tell you how much that experience meant to me. Department stores cannot provide personal, knowledgeable attention from someone who knows their collection and what will work for you as an individual. I am firmly back in the WHBM fold whenever I am in GR. The clothing is beautiful and if you need a special piece, this is the place to go. Again, thank you Susan! You made my day!”
“My new go-to clothing store, as they are one of the few designers that fit me perfectly and comfortably. This location is amazing, as it’s always organized, clean, stocked and staffed with great people. I check in every few weeks to see the latest styles and sales, as the app is a great companion.”
“I am a true 3x. I went in today after eating Maru and getting some LaBon. I bought the cutest, most supportive, and softest sports bra from her today. I was a little nervous to take my kid in with me but there are chairs with books & he loves to read. I will for sure be back and I hope more plus size items will be restocked soon. Very cute store, especially if you work in a school. The clearance is dope as well.”
“I had to hop on here to shout out this store's employees, y'all are great! The store is clean, organized and someone is always willing to assist. This all made for a better shopping experience. I especially want to thank Amanda(manager) for going above and beyond. It's a breath of fresh air to interact with people who love their jobs and helping people. Thanks again, will definitely return!”
“Always find something edgy and chic every time I stop in this women’s clothing’s store! ? and follow all their new styles on Instagram so I know when to pop in! ❤️ both the GR and Rockford stores!”
“Unfortunately I find that items are overpriced compared to other consignment shops in the area and there are no returns which is unfortunate considering other consignments do offer returns. On my last visit I found a dress with the original tag still on, the original store had marked it on sale with a sale price of $55 and urban exchange was asking $104.It’s a bummer that folks are asked to set beverages down while shopping, not a great customer experience especially when located a few doors down from a local cafe and I love to sip while I brows.”
“Love this place. I can always find something to wear. Great choices in this season's colors. Spring wear comes early enough to have something new in the warm days. The staff is very helpful but not pushy. They're there to serve.”
“This is my favorite store of anywhere I have shopped. Every time I am in Grand Rapids I stop in and pick something up and I always receive the most compliments on clothes I buy here. Unique items at reasonable prices.”
“Love this store and staff. Madewell is my wife's favorite store ... and the staff is always so helpful to me when picking out gifts for her. Their recommendations are always spot-on (thank you!). Highly recommend!”
“FANTASTIC customer service every time I shop here. Jane and the other staff members have consistently been helpful with ideas and recommendations. Thank you, ladies!”
“I love thrift shopping, so while I was in the area for a disc golf tournament at Brewer Park, I searched for thrift stores in Grand Rapids. Elevated caught my eye with its intriguing name, and it did not disappoint. The place is much bigger than I expected, and everything is thoughtfully arranged. I had a fantastic time exploring—it's a true thrifting adventure with just the right mix of quirky items like creepy baby dolls, disco balls, books, and offerings from local vendors. I'll definitely be back with my thrifting friend the next time we're in town for a disc golf tournament. I found some great pieces at good prices that I'm excited to refurbish.
GO HERE IF YOU LOVE VINTAGE SHOPPING. #1 on the list in the area.”
