“Super cool store and staff, always have amazing recommendations and they have tons of products! I originally found them for sneakers, but now they’re my main smoke shop”
“I have had the pleasure of visiting 847RC several times over the past month or so and I had to share what a special place the team over there have curated. When I first began my running journey in 2008 there were only proper running stores in Downtown Chicago where I could get a proper fitting for my stride. Those days are so long gone thanks to 847RC! ??♀️Now, I can simply call upon my friends down the street at 847 to help me feel my best while I pound the pavement. I know exactly where to go when I need to get fitted, vent about my tight IT bands, stock up on goo gels, and be a part of a running community that truly treats me like family every time I walk (or run ?) in the door. Not to mention, they carry all the high-performing gear brands at friendly prices for those of us who know that what you wear and how you feel on your runs make all the difference!Whether you’re just getting started on the path or are a seasoned Ultra runner, 847 has your back (and feet!). Stop in and experience the shop for yourself today! Lake County is so lucky to have you, 847RC! Thank you! ??♀️”
“The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Dane did a great job walking me through the Fleet Feet foot scan and a number of shoe options based on my current training needs.”
“Very good place Best prices We invite you to come buy clothes Boots Shirts Belts Jeans Jeans Cool hats I invite the little one We are waiting for you For now spices El norteño boots”

610 Central Ave Ste 169, Highland Park“Josh and Gerson were incredibly accommodating and made my visit a worthwhile experience, even though this location is out of the way for me i’ll be sure to come back due to the excellent customer service!”
“I have very good experience with this store. Professional and very helpful sales persons. Unique inventory. Clean, beautiful and very cozy store. I want to come back to this place every time.”
“Employees were nice and very helpful. And, the restroom was clean.
Unfortunately, nothing about this was a carnival - no roller coaster, no funnel cakes, and no clowns. Bummer, since I had my young nieces with me and we were looking to spend the day here.”
“Blu Violet has a gorgeous selection of inventory and you are sure to be welcomed with a smile by the new owner, Stacie. She loves the community and her enthusiasm and warmth radiates in this lovely boutique.”

6170 W Grand Ave Suite 569, Gurnee“I would like to give a special thanks to Coach K, Bri and Adam. They were extremely helpful and tentative to my needs and we were able to get me what I needed quickly. Thank you all very much!”
“When I moved from my old neighborhood, I thought I would have to go back there for my very reliable shoemaker, but I have discovered Alex at Bannockburn Shoe Repair. He is wonderful!!”
“Super knowledgeable and cared about running and ensuring we got the correct running shoes. Took a look at my sons balance and stride and listened to his concerns and picked out the shoes he should try. The knowledge itself was 5 stars, but the sincerity and friendly attitude made this a great place and a great small business to support. We were visiting, but if they were in Virginia I would never go anywhere else.”
“Just left the store today the sales girl Niyget, was as nice and smart about the products as a person could be all smiles and respectful as can be the displays are perfect you walk on through then you tell her the size and they give a military discount so that's perfect”

701 N Milwaukee Ave Ste 362, Vernon Hills“I am a bigger guy. However, I really don't care about all the crazy fashion that crops up every season. I just want nice looking jeans, button down shirts, and 1/2 zip and hoodie sweatshirts to fit right. For awhile, some stores had good clothing for plus size people. Kohl's carried a couple brands that were stylish and fit well, but then they stopped carrying them only to re-introduce those same brands with ill-fitting plus size options. Marshall Field's had a few items which became Macy's, and they had fewer still. The Winston Box, a monthly subscription mail order service boasts a way to find great options for any plus size and truthfully, they never sent items that fit well.
However, DXL (a.k.a. Destination XL) has always had options that work well with my body type. I'm a Polo fan and not a big fan or their house brand, Harbor Bay. With that being said, Harbor Bay's t-shirts and jackets are awesome and fit great.
DXL always has new options and brings in new brands that offer nice options such as Vineyard Vines, Psycho Bunny, Robert Graham, and more. Lately, I love the Lucky Brand jeans as they fit so well, and recently purchased the softest, most comfortable Vineyard Vines hoodie (actually, wearing both the hoodie and jeans right now).
Plus, DXL offers workout closes, casual clothes, dress clothes, suits, shoes, and accessories.
Lastly, the Vernon Hills location (close to me) has such a wonderful staff. Over the years, their staff has changed, but they are very friendly and always offer to help you find what you're looking for or are happy to remains hands off and let you do your own shopping. And they remember you whether you frequent them often or your visits are limited to a few times a year. I hardly visit any other store and if they don't have something in their store, they are happy to reach out to other locations to help you find your size and color you desire. I love this place!”
“Been a customer of this store for probably over 10 years now.. and have never had a negative experience. The staff are all very friendly, patient and helpful. Selection of shoes can be hit or miss, but that's how outlet store shopping is.”
“Great selection. Everything you could possibly need for your baby. Taking one star off because prices are usually higher than other stores but they almost always have a twenty percent off coupon.”

320 Hawthorn Ctr, Vernon Hills“I ordered the same earrings online twice and Both times the color was wrong but the item number was right! I decided to call a loft store near me and spoke with Kylie and later Sue who at first didn’t have the right color in the store but will look in the stock room later. Usually that where it ends because no one ever calls back but they did and found the correct color! This was an exceptional act of kindness!”
“Shopping here at Christmas time and the associate working was super friendly and helpful. Took her time answering questions and suggesting products. She even had an abandoned shopping cart in the store that she offered us to carry ALL of our bags out with. Great experience!”
“I've been to this location 4 times now and an employee has offered to help me each time. Inventory has been great, many options and my size has been in stock.”
“Absolutely love this place for baby clothes! Everything is usually on sale for a great price. I was having troubles picking out a gift for a friend’s baby, the wonderful lady who was working, who I forgot her name, was super helpful, super attentive, and gave me many options to chose from (which were all hard because all the clothes are so cute!) Definitely come here if you’re looking for baby items! Cannot recommend enough.”
“I have been buying Red Wings my whole life. I absolutely love them. They have a great new machine for measuring your foot pressure and shoe size. They also offer new orthopedic shoe inserts!”
“Thank you so much for getting me back to jogging and walking! I love being on my feet!! If feet pain is stopping you from walking, this is the place to get that fixed!!”
“Amazing team! Bill, Amiel and Lynn worked patiently on my return which shouldn’t be hard. I hope DSW fix or update their system for their own benefit, employees and customers!”

“Awesome skatepark! It is really big and they have a variety of obstacles which I love. Its the only park I've been to with a bowl. Love the atmosphere and the skate shop part of it too.”
