Urban Outfitters

I stopped in here because the people I was with are regulars, but it was my first time. It has some pretty unique items like hand creams inside panda bear tubs or a banana. I didn’t browse their clothing so I don’t know what their prices are, but they have a lot of cool items for gifts. The only clothing I browsed were the lacy bralettes which are priced at $ 18.00. They are really cute and very soft. They have a men’s section in the back. The cashier was pleasant and polite. They bag your items in reusable bags. The store is not packed with racks so although there were plenty of people in there, you still have more than enough room to not be bumping into others.

Despite the brutal controversy and judgement this store faces, in my humble opinion, this store is fantastic. The clothes they carry are spunky, sassy, and usually quite classy as well. The sizing is average– they don’t carry special sizes (such as petite or tall), but their selection is generally very broad. The pieces they carry can range from flannels, to tee shirts with sayings on them (which must be monitored– make sure you read the whole thing before you buy, because if not, you may wind up with a few not-​safe-​for-​school words in there), to fabulous dresses and even shoes. They carry very unique clothes and accessories which serve as a great outlet via style for all those who crave a subtle rebellion while still acknowledging that first, they’re probably still in high school, and second, they are in the middle of suburbia, and there’s only so much they can rebel by buying clothes. This being said, their clothes can be a bit out-​there, so please, for the sake of the people looking at your outfits, make sure you know how to wear their items before you buy them. I have even seen employees wearing one of their more outlandish pieces looking kind of ridiculous. They also have some great new records, and their jewelry is pretty snazzy too. I had to knock of a star for pricing, however. When you walk into this store, do NOT expect a bargain– unless they’re having one of their awesome sales, in which case odds are you will be able to get a LOT for your money. Generally, their tee shirts alone run from 30 – 40 dollars, cardigans and sweaters are about 70, which isn’t absolutely unheard of but is a bit overpriced in my opinion. The quality of their clothes makes it worth it, though. When you buy some clothes here, they will last for a long time. Quick tip: make sure you know if they’re having a promotion or not, and raid their sale section for a while. If you know how to shop for a bargain, you’ll do just fine, and you probably won’t walk out with an empty wallet. Overall, I love this store. Most of my clothes are actually from here. It’s well worth the prices, the atmosphere is cool and urban, and the clothes are unique and beautiful.

Absolutely ridiculous customer service. The guy in the front as a greeter was just playing with his own hand the whole time.
There was a sale posted all over store on huge posters.
«50% off all your final items.»
But upon checking out the cashier explained it’s only for the sales rack items. Which I will say are nothing more than three racks of jackets they stole off dead homeless men.
More so then that… You’re an idiot if you go in there to buy one of those plastic piece of sh** record player. Oh yeah, it’s 100 $ too.
Real cool Urban.

Terrible service, walked in and got greeted by some employee that just stands there and doesn’t even bother to ask if I needed help with anything. For the whole 20 minutes I spent in the store he didn’t even move once from his spot and he still continued to give people the same dirty look like he hates job or his job is that hard.

God-​awful service (the rudest retail employees I have EVER met). The dude at the register (who acted too cool and nonchalant to serve me) wouldn’t stop talking to his coworker and was super rude to me. Dude, I’m giving you my money. Jerk.
Since then, I have never purchased something from this branch (even the Urban Outfitters in downtown Chicago has employees that are a million times nicer and friendlier).
And I don’t need to tell you about how awful Urban Outfitters is in general; if you follow the news, you’ll know about their cultural insensitivity, racism, and so forth. Just google «why you should hate Urban Outfitters.»

If you’re going into UO you pretty much know what to expect.
Lots of fun overpriced gift items, and neat tees.
But if you catch them during a sale, you can get a lot of really cool conversation starters, and fun kitschy items.
This location has a very small home goods section and a smaller clearance section than many of the other UOs I’ve visited (and yes, I have visited quite a few).

If you’ve been to one Urban Outfitters, you’ve pretty much been to them all, but what sets this location apart from other UO’s are the staff.
At any other Urban, you tend to get the too cool attitude, see various employees rolling eyes while talking amongst themselves, ignoring you altogether and generally giving off the vibe that I’m back in Jr High and everyone’s whispering about that rumor going around that I’m really man… which is based on a true story. Not the part about me being a dude, but the rumor scenario itself. Whatevs. Ain’t no thang. If I wanna wrap my flannel around my waist and people want to call the knotted sleeve ball sticking out from my shirt my penis, fine. So be it. Joey Lawrence wouldn’t be phased by the assumption and neither will I.
I’ve stopped here on a few occasion, scored some semi-​affordable items from their clearance rack room and even splurged on a few full price items that I’d seen similar styles of at other stores, but for more money… if you can even imagine that.
The employees — all of them — have always greeted and offered to help in a way that seemed really genuine. I came here once during a semi blizzard and the girl at the front counter was super sweet on top of being totally hot and punky and legit looked too cool to be talking like a person like me. The thing that really seals it for me is that I’ve always gone her without make-​up on, lookin’ like a damn junkyard monster, and they don’t judge, they don’t ignore, they treat me like how you’d see an associate at Nordstrom treat and a woman who obviously has a rich husband, which is a feeling I will probably never otherwise know.
Say what you will about their mass-​produced suburban hipster items, the cats who work at this location set it apart from the rest and I gotta give up some love for that.

When I was in high school and college, I used to like this store (well, the chain). A lot. I don’t remember why. Now this store makes me cringe. Not only does it seem kind of dark, dreary, and empty, but everything is over-​priced. While some of the books and trinkets can be amusing, it’s just more stuff that loses its appeal after the latest fad passes. That’s what this store is. A fading fad. No offense to the people that shop here (I have respect for people who love vintage and don’t stick to the status quo), but there are much better places to find the same kind of things — like thrift stores. And it’s better on your wallet. Or, I don’t know. Maybe I’m just not cool anymore. I’ll come here if I’m looking for quirky earphones and silly books, but that’s probably it.

1990’s nostalgia for the early-1980’s. Totally tubular!

A little pricey but always has cool t-​shirts and gear that are just my style so for that I will shell out the extra bucks. They always have Obey which is oe of my favorite brands i wish they had more of a selection in jeans than just Skinny and super skinny haha. The store itself does remind me of a warehouse in a way but it does have a cool artsy feel to it. But as for Michael W it looks like his beef was more with the mall and the fact that it’s in the suburbs, if anything this store should be looked at like a rare find and not a misplaced store, seeing as though it is an urban store in a suburban setting.
