Anticipating Potential Election-Related Violence, Portland Business Owners Close Their Doors and Wait | Eater Portland
"I heard from Kristen D. Murray, owner of luncheonette and pastry shop Maurice, that she initially hadn’t considered closing but, after an employee expressed fear about potential armed militia, she closed the pre-order shop and gave employees a paid week off so they could rest—saying that “safety is paramount over the dollar” and that while it’s probably not the smartest business move financially, it’s the smartest humane move." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"I saw that Maurice, which normally keeps its online store open Sunday through Tuesday, kept the online store offline and suspended preorder sales this week while owner Kristen D. Murray assesses whether they can operate safely, calling it a hardship to miss a week of service." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
The ladies at the store that day were amazing and very supportive. I have lost over 30 pounds and dreaded going clothes shopping. They not only made it fun but were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the clothes they carry.

This is my wife's favorite clothing store to shop at for work outfits! Always finds something new and has a good experience with the friendly workers. We end up coming here a few times a year.

The associates here always treat me very well and it's a easy to get to location. I find super cute stuff for a great price every time. I needed new jeans today (I have a really hard time finding the proper fit) and the ladies picked out several styles for me. I found two pair that I really liked! They also ordered an out of stock blazer in my size and shipped it to my house for free!!!--I thought I'd missed out on the style completely. Thank you:)

It's is nice style comfortable clothes , suit to nature/countryside people. The people who enjoy the walking or watch the bonfires then you will love this store for sure. I bought leather jacket, black Jean, a shirt and I love it a lot.

Good clothing selection for a variety of sizes. The shop assistants were awesome and helped my friend find a few pairs of jeans that she liked. They were also very friendly and complimented both my friend and me. Just a nice experience in the mall!

Went shopping with a friend a few days ago and was greeted by Raylin coming in to Maurice's. She was the nicest and so so helpful(and not in a pushy way). GIVE THIS GIRL A RAISE. I work in retail and know it is not easy maintaining a positive attitude 24/7 but she was awesome. Great experience!!

I like shopphing at Maurices, but for this location it made me feel some type of way. I was doing some returns for my sister. And the lady that came and talked with me ask me if I was doing alright and if I need help with anything. I was in the line of the check out. I told her I'm doing some return for my sister. And she gave me a weird look and ask if I wanted to exchange it instead but I said no she only wanted returns. And keep looking at me up and down and continuing to smile at me. She went to the other register and keep talking on her mic. This made me felt some type of way, like I couldn't make any returns.

Our Maurices in Maplewood closed, and Rosedale is close to my job, so I visited this Maurices. It's a little smaller than the Maplewood location, but much nicer and cozier. All the employees I've interacted with have been very friendly. I'll keep going here.
