“The ladies in this boutique are welcoming, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable in all things lingerie. I went in for a bra fitting and learned I had been wearing something far too small for years. I feel so much more confident and comfortable in my new bra. I can’t wait to get a few more!”
“I love Peter Harris and I was enjoying the coupon and points program, unfortunately I was told today it is ending at the end of May. Of course I will still shop, it's a fun and relaxing place to buy clothes for my whole family.”
“How I found the best swag shop in Albany? I went to a concert at the MVP arena and was told my bag was too big to enter with. Damn! I told my sister to hold out there at the gate and I went looking for a place to get a smaller bag. Right up the street I found Fresh&Fly. Angelo was behind the counter and hooked me up quick with the perfect bag. Then he offers to keep my bigger bag for me overnight so I didn't have to throw it away. Never met a sales person this cool! I didn't have time to look around as I had to go back to the MVP. Bag worked like a charm.Next day I go back to the shop and Angelo is there holding my bag out for me. We chatted about the concert and then I got a chance to actually look around the store. Best stuff I've seen. I mean quality, color, design (Some of which is Angelo's original ). The place isn't big but the selection is great with unique items and nice layout. I bought a hoodie with Angelo's own design and the quality is outstanding. This place is sweet!”
“My two daughters have attended a total of six formal events in the Capital District, and ALL of their dresses have come from Fancy Schmancy! The service at this boutique is exceptional (the sales staff treat you like a star!), the dress selection is astonishing, and the store is impeccable! Fancy Schmancy is the ONLY store I would trust for these special occasions! Thank you, Fancy Schmancy!!”
“Absolutely LOVE this location. Staff is so pleasant. I leave smiling every time I go. It is clean and the product placement looks great. The cash wrap area is never a mess either. It’s really an awesome shopping experience. I greatly appreciate my interaction with the store manager last week. He may not have known but I was really struggling. Thank you.”
“Love this store, one of the only indigenous stores in the mall. The staff is always so helpful, and it’s my go to place to get Peruvian jewelry and decorations. They’re very affordable and have beautiful things.”
“I stopped in about a month ago to get chocolates for someone special. I've been back two more times since for three more gifts. This is the PERFECT place to find a unique gift for a friend's birthday, Mother's Day, teacher appreciation, thank you, etc. The saleswoman has taken her time with me each visit to help me select the PERFECT gift.
I bought a pair of earrings from Thailand and the recipient was over-the-moon happy. I have never given a gift with such a hugely positive reaction!! Every single gift has been a 10/10 and they wrap them up so beautifully. The presentation is fabulous!!”

“I live in Connecticut but travel to Troy regularly to visit family. Found Truly Rhe 6 years ago while at the Farmers Market. Have been going back ever since. The staff is friendly and the clothing and accessories all have a fresh and fun feel. Totally different than the “same old, same old” stuff that you see at the big shopping malls. I am often asked by friends and strangers where I get my clothes because they are unique and I proudly say “Truly Rhe” in Troy, NY. If you can’t get to Troy in person, watch their Saturday morning shows on FB. Seeing the clothes on their models (models of all sizes) gives you a glimpse of how they will fit you. Then just message or call the store and they will send you these beautiful clothes to your home. Huge Rhe fan!”

“Georgia is kind, attentive, and has an excellent eye. She went out of her way to find my size in a dress I wanted, and followed up with me via phone to let me know she found it. I will definitely be returning here to purchase items. Thank you!!”
“I absolutely love coming to this specific hot topic mostly because Ginni is the most helpful and special employee I've ever come across at a Hot Topic! I always hope to see them when I come in! Ginni always makes me feel special and helps me pick out things at the store that will look good on me. I love Ginnis vibe, style, and overall attitude and it just makes my experience in the store that much better. Thank you so much for making my shopping here the best I could imagine!!!!<3”

“This is a hidden gem in Albany, NY! My husband and I were in need of tailoring services on a tight turnaround and this business owner exceeded our expectations. Her services were affordable, $65 for the two items combined, yet her experience is evident. We felt welcomed and at ease leaving her shop. She even offered a tutorial after hearing I had difficulty removing the salwar top. Thanks so much for helping us look the part for our cousin’s wedding.”
“Excellent selection massive inventory I have been to both Latham and glenville locations excellent customer service friendly courteous knowledgeable quick efficient stores are clean organized returns are no problem with receipt I love shopping at both locations highly recommend them awesome ?”

“Favorite clothing store for classic clothes at great prices. This is a clearance store, so inventory is not necessarily what you see in the catalogs. Great value.”
“I always enjoy browsing the shop. Picked up a new sweater just last week. I realized I had a very similar color sweater and she was so helpful with an exchange for a different color.”
“We have a plus size teenage daughter who is still trying to find her style and is starting high school in a few weeks. As such, shopping has always brought anxiety and stress and back to school shopping was dreaded in our household. Yesterday we wondered into Buckle in Crossgates Mall and had the best experience thanks to the wonderful individuals who assisted us. Upon walking in we were greeted by Tony. We explained that we were letting our daughters look around so as to not cause extra anxiety. She understood the assignment and was so gracious with us. She introduced us to Kendrick (a literal God sent). Both Tony and Kendrick guided our daughter through the store, suggested items that we would’ve never suggested, and took time to look around the store for items she might try. When she didn’t fit into the regular sizes, Kendrick instilled faith in us (literally pulled me aside and told us he got us and that he would not destroy her confidence) that we would find pieces for her to try. Tony and Kendrick suggested the Gabby jeans and 93s which fit her so well, she NEVER wears denim but LOVED the fit. We left in tears with multiple items that our daughter loved. Most importantly, they built her confidence, and made her feel accepted and included in this space. We are incredibly grateful for their patience and commitment to assisting their customers. We highly recommend Kendrick as a lead and truly believe he needs a raise ?”
“My family and I own a dry cleaner, we have been pressing shirts for over 4 decades and without a doubt llbean button downs are the HIGHEST quality shirt money can buy. We’ve seen it all, dry rotted, rips, missing buttons and not yet one bad llbean shirt. Don’t waste your money anywhere else just grab an llbean and you will not regret it! Great customer service and Lise is amazing! Very helpful!”
“I work at the tattoo shop in the mall and really wanted the Knu Skool Vans. Decided to just walk into the store and had an awesome experience. Alex and Skyler were so nice and super helpful. I’ve never been to a shoe store that offered to lace up the shoes for me. The conversation was great and the vibes were high. Will definitely be going back 10/10 experience”
“Christena was extremely kind and personable. She was also great at offering suggestions and explaining the differences between all of the boots. Walked out with a beautiful pair of boots. Can’t wait to come back for more!”
“Women can understand the troubles in finding bras that fit. Yesterday, Bree (Brie) was experienced, helpful and absolutely comforting while trying to find the best bra. It was a success with her help! Thank you! I will be back ?✔️”
“I went to the Carhartt store in Crossgates Mall, Albany to buy some pants. I found a pair in my size and needed another. Jackie offered to help me, There was not another pair in my size in stock so she showed me a different style that I liked better. While she was ringing up my purchases I changed my mind about the color of one pair so she created a refund and charged it again. Jackie was so cheerful and helpful. She answered all my questions. She's a great asset to your store. Thanks, Jackie!”
“Probably the best outlet store on the planet. Indistinguishable from regular J Crew (outside of the prices), I'm always able to find my upcoming seasonal wardrobe here.”
“The staff was incredibly kind and helpful! Abby helped me the most and was very helpful in finding the right shoe especially with giving me suggestions for what shoes would be best suited for what I needed!”
“Had the BEST experience. The saleswoman helped me find my size, went and got me more clothing in that size to try while I stayed in my fitting room, and was overall kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this store for all styles of clothing!”
“When I travel to Albany for work, I always have to stop here! I don't have a Torrid near my hometown(nearest one is over a hour away) so when I travel for work to Albany, I always stop here. The people here are always so nice to me when I shop! I enjoy coming here and shopping. :)”

“This store lemme tell you is all that and a bag of chips! I bought so many goodies for the holidays here. The young lady was alone on reg that day and she was so helpful organized and patient with my buncha goodies. I cant wait to come back and am tempted to see if I can schedule an appointment. ?”
“I love the quality. Have had leggings for almost 10 years from here that still look and feel new!! ( I hear they just discontinued this style but the new style isn't too different)”
“I discovered Peter Harris when I found I didn’t have any clothes I wanted to wear for an upcoming business trip to a warm location. I found everything I needed and got home and packed in time to leave for airport.”
