Yelp
Growing up, I always remember going to department stores with my mom, and marveling at the vivid displays, the clinging and clanging of registers, and associates having conversations with their customers. I did not get any of that on my most recent visit to this store. We can throw blame on the current economy, the pandemic, or the fact that people shop more online, but the reality is, this store lacks the ability to attract customers. Not once, was I greeted by an employee (and I must've walked directly by at least 6-7 associates). The arrangements and displays were lackluster, and the clothing selection was quite stark (which could possibly be attributed to the current national supply chain nightmare). Nonetheless, the store was a ghost town. If you were looking for perfume or cologne, you would definitely be in the right place! Their cosmetics and fragrance departments were fully stocked and manned! I also took a peak at their customer service areas, which looked cluttered (but with such a lack of customers, I'm surprised as to why the messy appearance). At any rate, most of my clothing shopping will have to take me into Jacksonville or beyond (and online), which is sad considering this should be a premier retail venue in our hometown.
