Its a factory store, so the inventory is fairly inconsistent. I am usually able to find dress shirts and dress pants each time I shop there, but everything else changes.

I haven’t set foot in a Banana Republic in over three years or more and the last time was at an outlet store in Allen, TX. I didn’t buy anything. But, when you see 50% off of everything? Well, yeah, there might be a few things I could get. Everyone knows that BR, The Gap and Old Navy are essentially the same company, just different styles and quality. BR is the higher end and yes, it’s usually more expensive. They were limited on certain things. Only one style of cargo shorts(plenty of shorts but only one style with the additional pockets on the legs) and no short sleeved casual button downs. T-shirts that were all normally $ 26.99 were on sale for only $ 7.99 and there were a few that I actually liked. The pants sizes ran a size small, and I found that odd since I’ve worn Old Navy and Gap clothing and their sizes are consistent. I still managed to find a pair of shorts. Very helpful staff, especially the guy working the changing room area. It was a good day over at Cascades.

You’ll get the best deals at this store by signing up for their email list and waiting for coupons and their frequent major sales. Most of their coupons also show up on the Retail Me Not app. Based on Matt V’s review I want to clarify a couple of things. Do not expect to find discounted prices on past seasons’ clothing that is sold in regular Banana Republic stores. Most, if not all of the clothing you’ll find in the factory store is made specifically for sale in the factory store and is of different quality and style. But, this fact makes the store shop like a regular retail store and most often I find the range of sizes I’d expect in any other retail store. I strongly recommend trying clothes on because the sizing and cut of their clothing can vary widely. I almost always find something I like and get a great deal on it. Even after you buy keep an eye on their sales because they offer a seven-day price adjustment period.

My overall experience at this specific banana republic was good. Very friendly and helpful. The location is good and easy to get to. For the two women below one thing you need to understand about an outlet is that they’re not going to have every size and every color that you want(hence it’s an outlet for the last season’s clothes). if you would prefer to find your size and color in numerical order you should go to the banana republic store not the outlet. At there you will find everything you need for double the price. Their clothes may not be in order that’s because a people are coming into the store pulling out different sizes trying them on and not putting them back where they found them originally… that’s life. The store employees can’t continually put them in numerical order for every single persons liking. Perhaps you could comment on their facility, their attitudes and overall floor design things that matter apply to the business and customer experience at banana republic.

As mentioned by the wonderful Jeannie J., this place lacks some of the selection you will find at other BR outlets, that being said– this place is kept much neater than some I have been to. You can actually find multiples of the same thing without having to dig and dig for a size(this makes it easier for employees to know where things are and actually be able to answer questions about what they have in stock). They are certainly trying to class up the strip mall with their presence.

A fairly standard factory outlet store. They had equal parts men’s and women’s apparel, along with a section for petites. I still prefer the selection at Woodburn, but it’s nice to have one closer to home.
