Strawberry

Is it possible to give less than a full star? My family and I visited Strawberry excited to shop based on a positive review from my mothers last visit. The mood was great and all was well until we encountered the store manager who ruined what could have been a very positive experience. The only reason I completed my purchase is because I was buying school clothes for my daughter… otherwise, I would have walked out. 1.) my sister had food with her and it began dropping onto the floor. She asked the manager if she could buy (yes, buy) a plastic bag to hold the food. The manager said «we don’t sell plastic bags» and offered no assistance. After walking away, my other sister walked up to request a bag for a second time, and – with an attitude – she gave her a clear plastic bag from behind the counter. 2.) when I came up to purchase my and my daughter’s clothes, a different woman rang me up. I watched as the manager kept her attention on my purchase instead of taking care of the customer in front of her. When it was finally time for me to pay, the manager excitedly interrupted the process and began to count my items. She even rudely directed her next customer to a different line. That customer walked away confused. Cut back to my purchase: the manager lost her count and then pulled the items out of my bag again for a second count. At this point I’ve been standing there for about ten useless minutes. Finally when it was time to ring it up she watched as I paid, standing over my cashier as she asked for my ID with my credit card. I explained I was recently married and my maiden name was on my card… I have a very unique first name and a common middle name. She would not allow my to pay with that card so I used a different form of payment. Finally the experience was over. I walked away unhappy and a bit upset that I’d actually given the store more than $ 300 of my hard earned money. I’ve been treated better at Wal-​Mart.

Best affordable clothing store in Midtown. luv the variety of clothing evety size is there buy i have to say they run out of M or S size very quick.

This store is good but workers are fucking idiot, at first she didn’t give a chance back and I asked so she gave me wrong receipt and I complained the fucking another worker told me to go wait in line. Wtf??? I don get my chance back $ 6 then told me to go wait in very long line… I want to know have they ever studied in school or no parents taught them ??? They are such an idiot like their face!!!

Service is horrible and slow, cashiers need to speed it up a little when they see the line is curving around the store.

I found something I thought I had no prayer of getting here. That made me happy, though the price was a little more than I’d have like to pay. Tiny women will not get the best in sizing here but prices are cheaper than at many places and if you’re an actual S/​M/​L, you’ll have better luck here. Conveniently located right near Grand Central station. Again, thrilled they had what I was looking for here.

A little back story: I remember coming here as a teenager. I loved the style, fashion, and the energy of this place on 42^nd street. Everytime when I bought a shirt, a pair of shoes, or a bag, I thought I became a fashion plate. Once, I went with a high school friend and we spent almost the whole day exploring this store. Exciting!
Recently, I came back to this place after my company relocated to midtown. I still enjoy going to this place. My tastes have changed. I no longer see myself as a fashion plate but as a casual observer.
Strawberry caters to the general public. Not too high end or too cheap, you can find almost anything you may need here. I like convenience of it being near the Grand Central Station.
I like the interior design of this store. It hasn’t changed much. I guess that is the appeal of this store. It remains consistent while styles, and fashion changes.
It played a part in my life while growing up. Thank you Strawberry for being there when I needed you for fashion advice.

Walking into the store at first is a bit misleading because it starts off with the Misses’ section, which is what I thought the store was going to turn out to be like. Once you start making your way past that to the back, the vibe changes completely to a much younger one. The store is not incredibly large but is completely packed to the brim with racks and racks of merchandise. Hence, it does become a bit overwhelming because there is so much to look through.
The tiny jewelry section has some cute and cheap pieces. Now that it’s spring, they have a huge selection of trendy sandals and flats, many being in the $ 10 and under range. They do carry some brand name shoes but nothing high end; same goes for their handbag section. They also sell some luggage pieces. The clothing is cheaply made for the most part but very trendy and inexpensive. They carry basically everything for every occasion (casual and more formal dresses, work attire, gym attire, bathing suits, club wear, sleepwear, coats, etc.). Unfortunately the sizing is off with me for most things I try on here.
I would compare this store to a Joyce Leslie or Forever 21 but even less expensive with a few brand names thrown into the mix. I don’t do my major shopping here but will stop in and occasionally find something I’m happy with.

I am a big fan when it comes to shopping. I love that this store is open so early on the weekdays when I’m super early to work I can always stop in and browse and on my lunch I always sneak a peak every now and then. The selection is great can’t really complain, the prices vary, the shoes come in a variety of styles. I do wish they would improve on a couple of things tho. 1. bigger selection of earrings/​jewelry, 2. a bit more organization and finally 3. FASTER CHECKOUT. That’s the biggest downfall standing on a line with 2 ppl ahead of you and your waiting a good 10 minutes for the line to move, it’s the worst feeling ever.

Mehrstöckige Filiale der Kette. Im Angebot: jede Menge Damenkleidung, Schuhe, Taschen und Accesoires.
Ich hab mir hier mehrere tolle auffällige Leggings und neon-​farbene Schuhe gekauft. Auf die Klamotten werd ich oft angesprochen und was vergleichbares hab ich bisher auch noch nicht gefunden. Es gibt natürlich auch Basics aber gerade bei Eye-​Catcher-​Mode wird man hier gut fündig.
Preis/​Leistung ist gut, günstige tragbare Mode, teilweise mit unseren New Yorker Stores zu vergleichen.

My friend took me to this store and it is one of the better Strawberry stores. There is a lot more merchandise at this location compared to other Strawberry stores I’ve been to. They have a variety of bathing suits, intimate apparel, dresses, casual attire, accessories and lots more. The changing room is clean and not smelly like some other fitting rooms. The prices are reasonable. I wish this store was closer to where I lived. But maybe it’s for the best, so I don’t entire pay check lol.

I don’t like this store at all… Why because everything sucks… The clothes are just tacky… I mean the place is big… lots to choose from but the martial and the service here really sucks… oops I almost forgot how disorganized this place was…
When it comes to anything I purchase I like to feel and touch it… I see the cuttings and the fabric is pretty bad… Not worth it… Then there the service… ask about certain stuff they just ignored you… extremely rude at the rejester… Talk about customer always comes first… I hate how disorganized this place is… stuff is everywhere… meaning things that shouldn’t be in that rack is on the other rack… Little asseriores are all over the place or knotted in a ball… what is this… who wants to purchase anything or even look at stuff when it’s all messed up… reason why I gave two stars is even though I didn’t like the stuff here and the mess… there is still a lot of options to choose from when it comes to clothing and other weird items… and lots of spaces so not cramped… other then that its just another annoying store to me…

It’s always nice to take a trip down memory lane with Strawberry.
The chain has been around since my mom was young and shopped there over 30 years ago. This was the Forever21 of the 90s.
The shoe section is a good variety and sometimes you can find great discounts on name brands like steve madden, dolce vita, and nina heels. The merchandise is a mix of no name and name brands. I would say most of the clothing is on the tacky/​funky side but there’s some good finds now and then.
Last time I went I scored a nice BCBG tracksuit for $ 30 retailing for $ 160.
Handbag section like shoes and jewelry is a hit or miss.
Prices are relatively cheap but so is the material of most the clothes and accessories.
And sale items are final sale — no returns.

I really love this store, I come here from time to time and I always find something even when I shouldn’t be shopping :)
They have great selection of shoes, dresses and day to day clothes. You cant beat the prices since its inexpensive.
They do offer some great deals on brand names but not everything in the store is brand name.

Let me just say that I’ve always had reservations about the quality of Strawberry clothes, but this place has changed my view. First of all it’s huge so, they have a great selection of things. I love to run in here on my lunch break or after work if I need a quick outfit change or something to wear for the weekend. I always leave with something.
The associates aren’t’ that friendly or attentive, but that doesn’t bother much. The only other downside for me is the fitting rooms. The doors are so short that if you’re a tall girl like me, or maybe even an average girl, you can look right into someone else’s face in the fitting room across from you. That may not bother everyone, but it creeps me out so I try to avoid going in.
The prices are great. It’s always clean and well stocked, and it seems like they get new inventory very often. I definitely recommend this place.

While visiting the city my friend and I decided to stop in and maybe pick up a few cute items.
This Strawberry was so much bigger than I was expecting! Puts the small one we have back home to shame. There was bountiful amounts of clothing in each section. There was even a section of shoes, purses, and tons of accessories. I was so impressed!
But, most of it was tacky or did not fit properly… So disappointing.
The layout of the store was slightly confusing… Clothing racks were in large semi-​circles, it was a little hectic to shop. With all of the mirrors, stained glass pillars, and unusually shaped clothing racks, it was overwhelming.
Or it could be that I am boring and prefer non-​flashy stores. (That is a likely option)

I have a thing for cheaply priced (and cheaply made?) clothing. I’m all about the stores that offer great deals on clothing that may or may not last a year or more.
I passed by this store so many times on my way to GCT, but never had a chance to venture in, until this past weekend.
I’d read the reviews, so I knew to expect a shopping experience like The Closet, in my hometown. Loud music, clothes ranging from cute to clubby to casual to semi-​career at varying prices.
I was surprised by how big the store was. I didn’t even get a chance to go through the entire place, as I was short on time, but I did manage to make out with a few really cute dresses and a couple pairs of flats.
What impressed me the most was the cashier who rang me up. I walked up and asked, even before they started to ring me up, if they would accept the AmEx Gift Cheques that I had with me. Let me just say that it’s been a pain in the arse trying to use them, which I’ve had since March.
They took me to a different register, and then started the transaction. This poor girl — she had to call AmEx to get an authorization code on each cheque I signed over to her (a total of five). Then, she had to manually key in each code to have it act as payment.
It took a while. It was tedious. But she was friendly and helpful through it all, and I truly appreciated that. The items that I bought are going home with me, and I can’t wait to wash them to wear them out!
We’ll see how long they last. ;)

Wow, stained glass decorates some of the columns here. Oh back to the clothes… I think that they have a huge selection and variety of accessories. It is a hidden treasure of inexpensive clothes. It is great if you need something to wear now and at a price which does not make you cry.

I love this place! You could get a lot of clothes for $ 100. Their high heels are a bit overpriced for me so I stick with their clothing and handbags. I absolutely love shopping here. Their cashier lines are always long but given that they’re located in Grand Central and they’re awesome, that’s to be expected. You can find an outfit for almost any occasion: work, 1^st date, day out with your friends, birthday celebration, an evening out with your significant other etc. Anything you’re looking for, Strawberry probably has it.

Growing up, my mother used to always take me to Strawberry to look at clothes, shoes, or handbags. When I was younger, I didn’t quite appreciate this «shopping training» as much as I do now.
I pass by this Strawberry location every time I need to grab the 4/​5/​6/​S from Grand Central, which is often. I usually never have time to stop in and look around but today I did since I was only going to the market. This Strawberry location is relatively large. It also makes you feel as though you are mountain climbing. Every «department» is on a different level, separated by 3 or 4 steps. It’s easy to maneuver, yet large, so be prepared to wander around for a while. As always, Strawberry had a great selection of handbags for awesome prices (I scored a Kenneth Cole purse for only $ 20). Their shoe selection is also huge. Tons of clothes are in the middle of the store. Accessories are off to the sides. Definitely a great location and that staff is friendly.

After my first failed attempt at nearby Bolton’s in a very last minute utter panic pressed against time, I needed a small suitcase for my exotic excursion to the Far East. The lower level of this Strawberry, which sits in the Grand Central vicinity, carries a very small selection of luggage, which none were authentic Samsonite brand. The sales associates were dismissive to my needs and queries as if I were a statute. Thus, with a bad impression embedded I picked myself up of fragments of disappointment and walked out the door.
This Strawberry is rotten, overpriced and bitter taste.

This is like the Strawberry mothership… the Strawberry to end all Strawberries.
Not only is this particular Strawberry larger than the others, it is walled and ceilinged with mirrors to make it appear EVEN BIGGER. You don’t even know how many walls I ran into while perusing the sale racks.
It’s the same old shit… there’s just more of it! Lots more of it!
I did score a cute jacket for $ 10. Sales staff were generally the same old suck-​tacular cheap clothing store employees, but the guy at the cash wrap was decent.
All in all, this is the Strawberry to go to if you feel the need to go to one.
