“Appalachian Outdoors is one of the best shops in the area! The staff is helpful and knowledgeable about their gear, and the store has a wide variety of equipment and apparel in stock. They have a great selection of outdoor clothes, packs, camping equipment, and shoes in lots of different styles and colors-- the Cotopaxi gear is especially eye-catching. Both times I've been in the staff has been incredibly helpful. A salesperson helped me pick out a great pair of Salomon hiking boots last year, and a pair of "On"running shoes most recently. The running shoes they carry are mostly for trail running, but an employee helped me find a pair of street running shoes that were just what I was looking for. Plus, they have a bunch of cool outdoor games for sale, like frisbees, cards and hacky sacks. Overall, I look forward to stopping in at AO whenever I need new gear!”
“I always have a great experience shopping at By A Thread. The weekly new arrival drops are something I always look forward to and can always find so many items that I love. I always get asked where my dresses are from and the answer is literally always By A Thread!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! What a beautiful boutique! Absolutely lovely! The selection is high quality, fashion forward and just absolutely fantastic! You will not be disappointed! You will find everything you are looking for here and more!! I love to shop and this is hands down the best shopping experience I have had! Whether you are looking for a fabulous dress, a trendy outfit or unique accessories, I can ensure you that you are coming to the right place! I also cannot say enough good things about the owner! Her beautiful, kind heart just radiates throughout the shoppe and gives shoppers a unique, relaxed and wonderful environment to browse/ shop in! I’m so thankful that I found this gem of a place! I will be returning in person when I am back in the area and doing some online shopping here as well! Please do yourself a favor and support this amazing place!”
“This place is great. I arrived home after purchasing a glass piece and found that it had broken, i went back a few days later and wanted to see if they could repair it at least. The lady up front said she doesn't normally do this but gave me a replacement piece that was the same price completely for free. Im very grateful she did that snd will continue to shop there regularly.”
“We love visiting McLanahan’s when we visit for our yearly trip up to catch a football game. This year our girls bought awesome water bottles to commemorate our trip. My oldest’s water bottle ended up being defective. The McLanahan’s team sent us a new one and included an amazing card and sport bracelet. They went above and beyond and make my 10-year-olds day. We will make sure to buy Penn State gear here every year! We Are!”
“Susan Ling is my favorite Talbots salesperson, I haven’t seen her lately. But this 5 star review is for her. She is so professional, friendly always remembered what I had bought and what clothes I would like. I hope Susan comes back soon a big loss for the store.”
“This store is a hidden treasure. I was not aware of this store since it is tucked back into one of the plazas. My mom and I went shopping here the other day and loved it. They have great quality clothing however sizing scale is a little different than I am used to. Sales clerk was super helpful. I will definitely be back!”
“I went in today just to have fun and dress it was super fun! I love all the staff that was there, they all have very different personalities and all vary amazing to get along with! I think one of the girls names were Julie and the other girl I forgot (dearly sorry) anyways Julie is an amazing worker and vary nice! 😊 Also the clothes there are spectacular when trying to figure out you're style!:3”
“The associates are always helpful and cheerful at this Nittany Mall location. Plus some super finds!
A shout out to Becca & Destiny!
I love that you can have an out of stock item in the store ordered online and shipped to home for free.”
“Great value with well curated goods & a Sephora for both sexes! Great sales, nice clean store, very good State College location & very helpful & knowledge team.”
“I love this place. For the mango pickle and the incense, sure. But it's friendly and messy and wonderful. Go in every month or so; you never know what you might find. And ask about whatever might be new. This is a gem of a place.”
“5 stars for the store manager there, Jonathan! He was so so so helpful and nice to me! The same cannot be said for the woman who rung me in, who was not so nice and left me leaving the store on edge because she was bothered? about me pointing out the proper price of the pants I was purchasing? Regardless, thanks Jonathan.”
“Great store but took them 5 employees a few minutes to ask if they could help me even though I was the only one there. But they were super friendly & genuine.”
“Great selection of on trend pieces including Free People and other fun brands. Jeans in many washes, rises, lengths and styles. Very helpful sales people, likely college students who treated me with respect and set up a fitting room for me. They also helped me find the correct sizes and were extremely friendly and complementary.”
“This Gabe's stores is awesome!! Always laid out well with great products and holiday or seasonal decorations at a great price! I don't have the best luck with shoes at this store, Altoona store seems better for that! However the Carhartt selection at this store is as good as a regular supplier!”
“Everything is a mess but if you don't mind sorting through things in clearance the bargains are amazing. 1 romper, 3 dresses including special occasion, 1 skirt, 1 pj pants and 5 jeans, all for $85!!”
