“So kind and informative!!! Out and about for the day in the art district and came across Confidence Boutique so stopped in. Beautiful dresses, clothing, but most of all the best thing was the owner and staff!”
“I appreciate all that the strawberry shop has to offer. So many beautiful gift ideas, and some of my favorite clothing pieces have come from there. Often I think I’m just going in to look because everything is so beautifully displayed. I never leave empty handed⭐”
“D was EXTREMELY helpful today!!! So welcoming, so helpful, so friendly just AMAZING!!!! She helped my son pick out at least 15 band shirts for the new school year! He is ecstatic!!! Thank you SO MUCH D!!!! YOU ARE WONDERFUL!! Steven Universe!!!!!! ;-)”
“Ross’s mystifies me. I only go in because I see on Facebook I saw that the G.I.Joe Classified action figures I collect are on sale super cheap. The toy section looks like it was stocked by drunken circus clowns but I kinda low key love it. Like a treasure hunt.”
“the girl with the long blonde hair is awesome! i have been trying to size up my gauges for 2 years now, and they just would not stretch for the life of me. she gave me really good advice, and it worked!”
“I went into the store today to look for a dress for an event and Jen was absolutely the best. She was so sweet and very knowledgeable and helped me pick the perfect dress! Great little store. Highly recommend!”
“Had lots of cute 2000’s clothes, a lot of name brands for a good price! Only thing is it seems that there is alarms on a lot of things, even if you pick up or breathe differently at something the alarm will go off. Other than that it was nice and clean/organized in there.”
“So on here with some friends some stuff that needed to pick up I ended up picking up a couple things food wise actually got some good banana chips or plantain chips whatever and they had some really good ginger chews hadn't seen anywhere else before but they were good”
“I kind of did not respect or understand what the reviews said but this spirit Halloween store is great! There are really just some cool stuff and animatronics here, I went here doing the 50% off clearance sale and tried finding a mug online but didn't see it in person so I chose one that I really like, but I saw the animatronics there and there were like 4 or five of them and one was there with half of his body and stuff, but the masks were packed there I saw a cartoon cat mask which was cool to see, if you want a spirit Halloween with online only animatronics this is the location for you for next Halloween season”
“Spent just over 200.00 dollars. I got a few very nice shirts. I love a good shirt that I don't have to worry everyone else has the same shirt. I got this watch, Rocawear. Nice. Good price.”
“The owner is very helpful and her prices are great. She carries mens xsizes that are hard to find. The store has modern young vibe styles. Nice jackets, Hoodies and huge variety of jeans. I drive a hour to shop for my son’s Xmas and birthday clothes every year. It’s great to know her service never changes. She is always friendly and helpful. She knows her products and helps me find my son’s tall size jeans, makes shopping stress free. She gives me a free calendar every New year.”
“Catch a sale at Old Navy! I met some of the most friendly retail reps. I found some great deals,and the sales person helped me locate all the products I inquired about.I love the atmosphere and the courtesy of the staff.”
“Wow. That’s the word that comes to mind every time I enter this store—and again when I leave, usually after convincing myself I don’t need anything else and then immediately finding five more things I absolutely do. (Its hard to pry myself away when it’s this good!!) This H&M operates on a level that feels almost unfair to other locations. The store is bright, organized, and somehow always calm. Racks are thoughtfully spaced, displays feel intentional rather than chaotic, and the fitting rooms are so clean they inspire trust. You get the sense that someone here truly cares—deeply—about how this place functions. Best H&M in the state. Dare I say the whole western hemisphere? The evidence is strong. The lighting is immaculate: bright without being harsh, flattering without being deceptive. Every corner is perfectly illuminated, making colors, textures, and materials look exactly as they should. The flow of the store just works—you move naturally from section to section without confusion, congestion, or blockage. Looking for something specific? It’s easy to find. Every rack makes sense, and every inch of the store is spotless. I have never seen clutter, disarray, or an item out of place—or unavailable. If you’re looking for it, it’s there. Always. The staff across the board is excellent: welcoming, attentive, and genuinely helpful without hovering. There’s an efficiency here that makes shopping easy and enjoyable. Nothing feels rushed, nothing feels neglected. It’s retail harmony. This location consistently carries high-quality pieces made with premium materials—soft, durable cottons, well-constructed knits, and polyester or acrylic blends that actually feel substantial and intentional. Everything feels better than expected, like someone filtered out the “just okay” items and kept only the good stuff. The deals are unbeatable. Prices make you double-check the tag, paired with styles that feel genuinely current and special—not generic or recycled. These are pieces you don’t expect to find again at another H&M, or frankly, at many clothing stores at all. Everyone here deserves an award. But there is one member who goes above and beyond every time: Jacob. Before I even made it into the store on one visit, fate intervened. A small spill just outside the entrance sent me sliding in a moment so sudden and undignified that time itself seemed to slow. As I lay there, reevaluating my life choices, a shadow appeared. Jacob. Without hesitation—without panic—he sprang into action. A true hero’s response. He helped me up with the calm reassurance of someone who has trained for this moment, making sure I was okay, steady, and laughing instead of embarrassed. Passersby stared. Order was restored. Once inside, I casually mentioned I was kind of looking for a specific item and got a simple “no worries I got you.” Jacob took this as a mission. He disappeared into the depths of the store, navigating racks and stockrooms with the confidence of someone who knows this location inside and out. He returned in less than two minutes with multiple sizes, alternate options, and an item I was convinced did not exist—presented in a color I hadn’t asked for but immediately loved. The fitting room was perfectly prepared, like it was waiting for this particular moment. He even started offering honest styling advice each time I entered and exited the fitting stall, making sure I left not just satisfied, but transformed. At no point did it feel forced or sales-driven. Just genuinely excellent service. It was, frankly, exquisite. This store is exceptional—beautifully run, stocked with standout pieces, offering incredible value, and staffed by people in a league of their own. Five stars. Six if Jacob’s working. Seven if you witness a heroic rescue.”
“I had a wonderful visit on 5/6. I had a terrible time finding jeans and Maddie helped me step out of my comfort zone with a different style of jeans that I was not used to and made me feel amazing. I purchased two pairs of jeans that I absolutely loved. She was amazing.”
“Service was really great by Charles! I called back after not ordering shoes while in the store and he sent me pictures of the shoes I passed up so I could get them from another store. Greatly appreciate his help and willingness to help!”
“Purchased at the GA ren fest, and it is one of my most prized possessions. I got a Henrietta, and she's been as loyal as a guard dog to me through many weight fluctuations. ❤️ If you've got the cash, I'd say go for it.”
“Shopping Burlington is hit or miss, but there are deals to be had. I particularly like the Projek Raw Bungee Flex pants. Great fit for those with small butts, and tapered legs. Love the comfort and fit. $20 for $75 pants!”
