“Such a special place! I was in Durham for work and stopped by on a whim. My favorite shopping experience is one where you can talk to someone super smart and stylish who will talk you down from all your neuroses. On that front, V&V delivers! Everything they stock is beautiful and well made, and the women who work here are consummate pros who will take you, your concerns and your taste seriously. I had the best time talking to Nia, trying on pieces she picked out for me, and getting some stylist assists from Stephanie. One of their regular customers even helped close a deal by walking in wearing a great pair of jeans (tried them on + bought my own on the spot.) 10/10 retail experience.”
“This place is well lit and nicely organized, I like the lay out. Products are easy to find. The wig display is synchronized and well maintained. I’ll be back for another visit.”
“I HATE shopping, but Ariel at MODE makes it fun and takes the guesswork out of it for me. She's the reason I went to MODE today to shop for a lifestyle photo shoot coming up for my business, and I had no idea what to wear. Ariel understood the assignment. She picked clothes that I wouldn't have, but her style is better than mine. Protip from Ariel, try on everything you like, despite what the manufacturer's tagged size is. I bought clothes from size small to large and size 8-12. Ariel was there to tell me if something fit well or didn't. I've always just tried on what I thought my size was. Who knew! I ended up buying more clothes than I had planned to because she made the experience painless.”
“Extremely limited space to maneuver around, compounded by the fact that it’s always packed. Yet this has always been one of my favorite merch stores for years, so even with its shortcomings it’s still the best.”
“The atmosphere and staff are always lovely! Smitten carries a few of my bakery's products. Thanks for supporting local, Nancy & all! ???Visit them for beautiful outfits, unique gifts & local food products!”

“Wide selection of rare items. My wife loves the Fulani earrings. Artist are actually there selling their art during shows. Ask for Hakim by name he is always helpful and he can look at a face and see challenges far in advance in time to keep things in check. They have a line of deodorant that does not hurt my sensitive skin. There is even a knowledgeable notary public there or on call just a few minutes away.Some of my favorite items are the hand bound journals the bamboo spears and staffs with the crystal or glass tips.My wife loves the henna artist that can come to the store and create henna works of art that are breathtaking.The unique collection of books like "Fatina and the gold Adornments" by S.M. Sheikh.Then, there is the jewelry. One of a kind artisan made pieces that stand out in a crowd. The bags like the over the shoulder denim two tone blue bag put such a smile on one customers face I had to take a picture. ? Exotique is one of thoses stores that you have to visit several times a year to get the full breathe of the items that are constantly brought up and replaced with a seemingly endless supply of eclectic gems from over 40 local artists from around the world. Where else are you going to find a Nnenna Freelon's grammy nominated cd selling next to an 8 year olds first commissioned very beautiful art "two dogs". I took pictures but go see for yourself and let me know if I am off even a little bit.”
“This business is committed to excellence! I rush ordered a dress with no alterations and a three day window - they worked with me quickly to find a dress in stock in my size. But it was the weekend, and because I live near the store they were willing to Uber deliver the dress to my home! It was gorgeous, high quality work and everything I’d hoped for!”
“Cassandra went above and beyond to get me fitted right. She is very knowledgeable of the products available and professional in her demeanor. She went out of her way to make sure I was satisfied and made appropriate suggestions.”
“This is a quality Vans location, ive been to a lot of retail mall locations and this one does not fall into the trap of offering poser or overpriced stuff. Selection is great and Josh knew his stuff, helped me out with finding the right option and even laced them up while I was paying.”
“I wanted to buy an anniversary present for my wife, but unfortunately, I know nothing of the sphere of women. She is the light of my life, and no gift I could give would repay her for the years of happiness she has given me. The wonderful ladies at Anthropology helped me choose the perfect blouse and candle for her. She loved them! I am so grateful to them”
“First time that my husband and I walked into this store and Gary made our experience excellent. He helped my husband find the right fit and took his time listening to our needs. This is our new favorite store and will be coming back to this one specifically because of the great customer service.”

“This store is a must!! You must stop in and take a look around. There is something for everyone. I love to come here to gather gifts for friends who are visiting. I also love to come in here to get a thing out two for myself.”
“I was getting incredibly frustrated with finding a decent pair of jeans and after trying a few stores at the mall, I was about to give up! I decided to give Lucky Brand a try before I went home and I’m glad I did. Dionne welcomed me into the store right away and offered to help me find what I was looking for. She was very friendly, inviting, and knew what she was doing. The process of trying on jeans can be overwhelming, but it wasn’t here. It was easy and fun! I highly recommend shopping here, especially when Dionne is working. I will be back.”
“They really went out of their way to help me with something they didn’t have to. Great customer service, and the people were very nice and friendly. The store is clean and well-organized”
“I started coming to Pure Barre a year ago. I can honestly say that it has helped me become stronger. I enjoy the low-impact exercise. I enjoy the Define format the most. I appreciate how the instructors offer personal tips on technique to help you get the most out of your workout.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Toni at Lane Bryant
I just have to give a huge THANK YOU to Toni at Lane Bryant! Me and my mother went in today looking for bras, and the experience was beyond wonderful. My mom has lost a lot of weight and was struggling to find something supportive that actually fit, and I’ve also had my own struggles being fuller-figured. From the moment we met Toni, she completely changed everything.
She is truly an expert in her field. Toni did our sizing, explained everything in detail, and personally helped us in the fitting room with so much patience and kindness. My mom had a lot of questions, and even when I started to get frustrated, Toni never once lost her patience. She gave my mom her full attention and treated her with so much care.
For me, Toni helped me find a bra that finally gave me the lift and support I’ve been needing — I walked out of that store feeling more confident than ever. I also learned more about bras and how they should fit in that one visit than I have in my entire life!
This was hands down the BEST bra shopping experience I’ve ever had. Toni is amazing at what she does, and Lane Bryant is lucky to have her. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping you, go see Toni. She is the reason I’ll keep coming back.”
“Need to change their policies about online purchase when a price drop is involved. Should be able to call customer service and get a price adjustment especially when it occurs less than a week after purchase. You should not have to repurchase the items and return the more expensive items. Also if you do an online order and the package arrives missing items the customer should not be made to feel like they are lying about missing items and that Old Navy must do an investigation before issuing a refund even if the customer just wanted the missing item sent!!!”

“I recently visited this location twice in one week, resulting in purchases exceeding $400. The beautiful clothing was a major factor, but the outstanding customer service from Jamie and Autum was equally impressive. They exhibited a welcoming and professional demeanor, offering valuable suggestions during my visit. My experience was wonderful, and I am confident in my purchases. I strongly recommend this location, primarily due to its exceptional customer service.”
“The only reason i am giving a five star is due to the amazing experience I had with Michelle, she was very welcoming, attentive, and helpful. I can only say this for Michelle though, unfortunately the rest of the staff was not. If Michelle wasn’t taking care of me and my mother as customers, I would’ve given a 0 stars and never shopped at this store again.”
“This has become my favorite store. And a big reason for that is the incredible customer service provided by Meghan. Meghan has helped me the past two or three times I have been in the store and she is fantastic! So friendly, patient and helpful. She has a great knack for style and has given me great suggestions and recommendations (which end up as purchases). Kudos to her fellow staff members as well. Personalized service is harder to find these days and it truly makes a difference! Thank you!”
“I had a fabulous experience on my recent shopping trip! I was pleasantly surprised to discover a great selection of products made from natural fibers. I ended up walking out with a gorgeous merino wool and cashmere sweater at a fantastic price point.
The customer service was exceptional—especially the fitting room attendant, who went out of her way to help me find additional sizes and styles that suited me perfectly.
If you’re looking for quality items and a truly enjoyable shopping experience, I highly recommend checking out Athleta!”
“More than just clothes! They have great earrings and other house items that would make for great gifts. I recommend checking this store out for holiday gift shopping.”
“I would like to complement the exemplary staff at this location, specifically Hannah and Anna. They graciously lent an artistic and critical eye so I could make the best choice for an evening ensemble. Their kind and joyful personalities made for a very pleasant shopping experience.”
“The ladies that work there are amazing!!! You don't see such awesome customer service anymore. They can't do enough to help you and are always smiling. It is a pleasure to shop there! I'm very appreciative of them! The employer is very lucky to have them.”
“I saw a dress I really liked online but have never even considered a Lily Pulitzer dress before so I thought I’d take the opportunity to try it on. I had my toddler with me and I was nervous to bring him in the store because “fancy dress stores” aren’t always ok with little ones (fair enough!) But all of the sales associates were extremely kind and even talked to my son. They were all so friendly and helpful!
They didn’t have the exact same dress but helped me find the shorter version to assess the fit. Thank you to those lovely ladies for all their kindness and help! I guess I’m a fan now!”
“Love this place! Great selection of clothes both reg and plus sized and the employees are always the nicest ever!! I leave with a smile even if I didn't even buy anything! Thank you and will recommend!!”
“I had a great experience with this Windsor! Caitlyn was amazing. Both attendees (Tyla & Caitlyn) were amazing with helping me. Both were prepping the store but they never stopped checking on me. Made themselves available. Was able to chat and get what I needed for an awards ceremony. Their stock was in season. The store was clean and organized. GREAT JOB LADIES!!! I’ll be back!”
“Great place to find great deals. Helpful employees and wonderful inventory in my hard to find size. Can't thank you guys enough for having beautiful things in such a wide variety of sizes!”
“I love this store! Every time I go in, there's something new and interesting! It's the only place I buy my sunglasses and if you want something unusual, funky, or fun, this is the place to go to buy clothes and accessories!!!!!”
