Banana Republic

Banana Republic, what can I say, I just love coming here because I always find what I’m looking for, first store is clean, staff is super nice and helpful, and fitting rooms are always available not packed lol, 4 stars because the clearance section needs improvement, its a little bit crazy, they have more than one section, I think it should be all in one section, kinda makes you wonder if almost the whole store is on clearance. they always have what im looking for, staff is always giving you great coupons and using them on the spot which is even better. I enjoy coming here, will keep returning everytime I need some clothing. Banana is my thing and who doesn’t love a good deal ;)

I’m not an experienced shopper, but I suspect that the average consumer would not expect to have such good luck at an outlet store as I have had at this Banana Republic over the last couple of years.
Whenever my wife and I make a trip to Wisconsin for beer and jelly beans (yeah, we do this), we always stop into this outlet mall. The only store in which I am interested is Banana Republic. Sometimes I am looking for a specific item, but I am very particular and wear a common size, so I don’t anticipate having much success. But for some reason, they almost always seem to have what I seek: the exact right pair of dark grey wool slacks in fall 2010; the exact pair of blue cotton summer pants with a white pinstripe in fall 2010; the exact pair of black dress slacks in fall 2012. And when it comes to shirts and sweaters, they always have something to piqué my interest, especially to the tune of 50% off.
One chronic problem that they have is labelling the shelves clearly. For example, a placard might indicate a discount for a stack of shirts, but another stack of identical shirts in a different color, immediately beside the first stack, is not on sale. This kind of tactic reeks of deliberate deception. Maybe some weaker-​willed shoppers will just go ahead and pay full price for an item that they thought was discounted, but not me. I’ve left shirts on the checkout counter before, along with an annoyed request to fix the signage. But it keeps happening.

3.5 stars for this location. I like the outlet stores since you can get better prices on items. I picked up a cardigan for the fall for 70% off. It was 59.99 originally so was a little over 18.00 with tax. I like the quality of their materials and don’t see that much of a difference between the original store and the outlet.
The only downside is that this location can get busy and a bit messy, but that’s par for the course on a busy weekend with good sales.

Great place to find staples for your wardrobe. For best selection, it’s good to go when they’ve brought in new stuff for a season. It’s hit or miss sometimes – I either find lots of great quality items or find one or two things and everything else is just too plain and lacking in style and not really worth buying. Sometimes you may even find identical items that were sold at the regular Banana stores just a season or two ago.
They’ve recently added a petite section, which is great. They also have shoes and accessories. This store has a huge fitting room and you get great customer service in there if you need someone to get you different sizes. You also get significant savings over regular Banana Republic prices, so I would recommend checking it out.
