6128 Grand Ave, Gurnee“This place has a good selection, but it is really overwhelming and unorganized. We went on a Saturday but there were no carts anywhere to be found.
Also was hard to find a person that worked there to help, and while there is a larger selection at the combined store it was really congested. It just seemed like there was a lot of unorganization and disarray. Now this could be because we went on a Saturday, but Ive been to a lot of stand alone Home Goods and it didnt feel the same.”

“I have avoided this store for a long time because it used to be such a disorganized mess. But I went in for an Amazon return and was pleasantly surprised to see that everything was tidy, the employees were pleasant and merchandise was organized and easy to find. Julia in the Sephora section was especially helpful. My only problem was that there was only a limited selection of clothes in my size. Overall, a positive experience!”

We talked to Mr. Jay (store manager) was professional and courteous and respectful, thank you for believing in the customer sir and we will definitely be coming to your store more because of your actions. We appreciate people like you and have a blessed one.”
“We love our JC Penney! Good selection at decent prices. Have been going to the hair salon for a long time. And they always have plenty of retro t shirts for sale. Would rather buy clothes in a real store vs online returning it a million times cuz it doesn't fit. Give Penney's a try!”

313 E Town Line Rd, Vernon Hills“It's a bit of a mess in this Super Target (recovering from Black Friday I guess). I could not find any holiday tablecloths. A Target team member directed me to the area and I later found a few vinyl ones in the Magnolia section but they were too small. The store is pretty quiet now and I found the ginormous candy bars for my white elephant exchange! Lots of candy, feathery friends, so many gingerbread houses (even a Target one - how meta!), and plenty of ornaments, etc.”

“I'm happy to say that with today's visit I reclaimed the Dukedom of Target, Highland Park. You may now address me as Your Grace. I surveyed every corner of my duchy, and I must say, it was in fine form today. I particularly liked how the Easter confections and bakery items were prominent and upfront. The coolers and freezer cases were well-stocked. I found the Royal Beverage, thee Diet Coke, in its usual place. I also perused thee Easter Squishmallows down yonder thoroughfare and marveled at the marvelous selection of Messrs Hershey, Ferrero, Ghirardelli and Reese. Hear Hear! Actually, there there! My loyal retainers, thee Target employees, were resplendent in their red livery. They did a fine and efficient job of scanning my merch. In the event my title is stripped from me before my next check-in, I bid you farewell. Karyn M, Dukedom of Target, in thee suburb of Highland Park, Lake County”

“Its a real dollar store where everything really is $1. I hate the ones that you go in thinking its a $1 store but its not. (I think family dollar is one of those phony imposters. If I'm wrong about that then I apologize FD but I'm pretty sure it was you.)”
“Store is organized and clean. The employees obviously stay on top of the clothing racks, the shelves, and the fitting rooms. The lady - I didn't catch her name, who worked the fitting room area was incredibly kind and personable. All in all I had a positive shopping experience and would definitely recommend this store.”

The added incentive of coupons, offering $10 off free shopping or $20 off with a $50 purchase, (They gave coupons to limited number only )proved to be a significant attraction, adding extra value to the shopping experience. The store featured enticing deals and a commendable variety of products. Doorbusters, in particular, caught the attention of shoppers, contributing to the overall appeal of the sale. The staff was helpful in navigating the rush, ensuring a smoother shopping experience for customers.

“I have been coming to this exchange for ~35 years, since my mother who is navy veteran, took me here when I was little. Everything is clean, well organized, and modestly priced. There is one thing that stands out every time I go there: Dean. Dean checks the IDs at the door and greets the guests. He is kind, honest, diligent, and reflects positively on the NEX and the sea services as a whole. Dean always appreciates veterans of all ages, from freshly minted sailors to elderly retirees. I look forward to seeing Dean when I go shopping at NEX. Please commend this man.”
