I took my daughter to Champs yesterday, and we quickly realized that this is absolutely the best place to shop for shoes on the entire 3rd. St. Promenade. They have a massive selection of shoes and clothes, so inevitably you'll find something you like. But what really distinguishes this Champs store from other shops on the Promenade is their outstanding customer service.
The employees at many stores on the same street are either overly aggressive in their effort to sell, or they're too cold and detached. It's strange when you walk into a store with a lot of Supreme products and the guy at the door has a completely arrogant look on his face and clearly thinks that he's too cool to greet customers. Chill, bro. You just work there. Neither you nor I can afford the $900 Nikes, so relax.
On the other hand, the staff at Champs is immensely welcoming, friendly, and professional. They engage with you, find out what you need, and work hard to get you exactly the product that you're looking for. I wish I'd asked the name of the two employees who helped us, but I didn't. The guy who helped us the most was a tall black guy in his early 20s. He was helpful, down to earth, and funny...just generally a cool dude. And the young lady at the register who helped us was super sweet, friendly, and had a great smile.
This was a great experience. Any time in the future that my daughter or I need new shoes or workout gear, this will be our go to spot without a doubt!
