Gosh I wish my trip to the local “best mall was that inspiring. Our Nordstroms is underwhelming and seems unsure of who and what it wants to be. We have a Gucci and an H&M almost next to each other and that generally tells you everything you need to know. The Ann Taylor, Talbots closed years ago. The BR is ok, but definitely gets a middle of the road assortment. The Gap is about the same. The Jcrew is a a d level assortment and the customer service is even worse. Aritzia opened this fall and the assortment is pretty good but the customer service is awful- well I think is good if you’re a 20 something shopping with your mom otherwise nope. But if your looking for athletic wear/athlesure we’ve got that covered—there’s an Alo, lululemon, Athleta, a free people movement stand alone store, Fabletics, offline by airie, Dick’s sporting goods, and about 1/4 of the Aritzia, and about 1/8 of the Nordstrom
And Brandy Melville opened in my neighborhood this weekend.
Yup it’s pretty bleak for irl shopping.
