Banana Republic Factory Store

It’s a factory outlet store. That means you can get really good deals here on BR products. If you come on the weekends or a holiday be prepared that they will be slammed. This means longer waits for a dressing room, longer lines to check out, clothes on shelves in disarray, etc. The best time to come is on a weekday, of course.
I think they have a good selection of clothing to choose from and compares favorably with their retail stores in malls.

Great place for the biggest selection of styles in comparison to its competitors. I often am able to find what I need here and can see the newest of what is gonna be a best seller. Friendly service associates and great prices makes me happy when I am shopping here.

Manager was SO rude! I asked a sales person about the price on an item because two of them were misplaced. He wouldn’t even ACKNOWLEDGED me and told the sales person (while I was standing there) ‘no they are here.’ I asked him if he was having a bad day and he finally turned to at least look at me. I will never shop there again. If you have your merchandise misplaced, you should first accept the price above it. You should ALWAYS be polite to the customer especially if they have been everything but nice to you. And at least acknowledge them JERK.

This is the Banana Republic equivalent of the Kohl’s store near Langham Creek High School (see my review). The disarray os as severe as Kohl’s but I have never been in this BR when it was organized and clean. The atmosphere doesn’t male me want to spend money.

I was waiting for a Banana Republic to open in the Houston Premium Outlets. It is located between Brooks Brothers and Jones New York.
The space inside isn’t too bad. They have a decent amount of merchandise throughout the store with discounts for men and women. Small section for accessories.
The sales associates were friendly and would ask questions.
Clothes wise, I would recommend going to the Galleria or maybe Memorial City due to the more up-​to items located there. Some of the clothes were rather disappointing or not in stock.
All in all, Banana Republic is a great addition to the shopping community.

Clothes are made specifically for Banana Republic outlets. You can tell outlet clothes by the 3 diamonds marked on the tag.. A lot of the items here are made in Egypt. Excellent place to buy suits. Can’t beat the price even if clothes are slightly less quality than at regular Banana Republic store.

Dress to impress is the coined cliché that comes ahead of the truer statement, it costs to look good. However, i firmly disagree now as a growing thrift shopper and bargain elitest. But for a wedding or an occasional affair that requires elevating your pinky when sipping tea, BR can get you right. Just know what look you’re going for and stick with it or your wallet will go on a diet.
Being that this is an outlet BR there’s much to appreciate for a returning shopper. Much more affordable than their fellow stores around the city and much more difficult to get to if you live in what Houston denotes as their actual city limits. i could survive with just shopping for their ties and pants, i can find a nice button-​up anywhere. And as a tie connoisseur i think most men either try too hard or not hard enough (no «that’s what she said» jokes) leaving them carrying an albatross of attire.
Don’t be surprised if there aren’t many sizes to choose from should you have a larger build. I’m 6’0 170lbs and i suppose that my build is ideal for most of their stock, but i’ve seen «big & tall» fellows catch the short end of the stick here. Great for the ladies as well, and the style isn’t your black and brown and toupe business attire for the corporate realm, there’s plenty of options to show your flare. It’s still too pricey for frequent visits if i should say.
