3827 N Sheridan Rd, Peoria“Right when we walked in the front door we were greeted with a smile and we began what would become the absolute best retail experience I’ve ever witnessed. The employees made finding my dream boots seem like their dream too and added to the fun of everything by hearing me out and giving me suggestions when they needed to. You could tell the owner and all of the employees there are really passionate about what they do because it was all smiles and happy vibes the entire time. My wife and I ended up leaving with top quality boots, socks, jeans and a few stickers. It was just such a fun store. We could have looked through things for hours!!!!!You’re just simply not going to find a selection like this or people this amazing anywhere else. Hands down the only place I’ll ever shop for my everyday clothing from here on out.I finally have my dream cayman boots!”
“I love this store so much and I love all of the old emo stuff but what I will complain about is that I cut my fingers on the of the spikes on the inside of the belt that was sticking up, definitely look into a safer way for that not to happen, but other than that I love it!!!”
“Before you read on, know that this review (or story of my experience with The Purple Bubble Bar, rather) is from a 6’ 4”(ish) hairy and just as heavy middle aged father of multiple daughters who works and owns a business in the (HVAC) trade proudly committed to the Union under the Local 353 and Local 1 halls. I am not what most people would envision as a customer, consumer, or even advocate for this type of business…but I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My wife found The Purple Bubble Bar years ago for one of many events/locations we were to attend on a Valentine’s Day celebration. She planned each location with a “five senses” theme (smell, taste, touch, etc). This was back when it was located on Prospect in the Heights. What a great night, and The Purple Bubble Bar was the biggest surprise of the them all that evening so far as unexpected enjoyment. Absolutely loved it.I remember the first time sampling all the fragrances, trying to “hone” in on the true essence of what I preferred. So many choices, just a few among them included powerful aromas that let you know what they were about, fresh smells to lift you up, warm feelings brought on by others, even a hint of exotic resemblance. Some hit hard, some lingered longer, while others even had a kind of “aftertaste” that grew after the initial sniff. Then I found out as I delved deeper into my search that you could mix and match them like you might when trying new ingredients or seasonings for a meal. My favorites kept changing for the better, and at last I found the root of the aromas that I had been unknowingly searching for…Cha Cha Cherry!While most may not agree with me as far as favorites go (it’s what I would refer to as potent and powerful), in that moment, I knew what I had found.I never forgot that fragrance, and after several years of absence, a relocation of their business, and the whole Covid thing, I returned to introduce my daughter(s) to this experience. First thing I asked about was Cha Cha Cherry, but unfortunately it was no longer available. Joslyn pulled out her info cards that my wife and I had filled out on our first visit (which felt like opening a time capsule seeing my wife’s and mine own hand writing from years ago) listing all our previous favorites. With Joslyn’s help, I found a VERY close replacement in what she dubbed “Lost Cherry” and it included a bit of almond, which I had never realized had such a sweet and cherry-like aromatic essence to it.Well, I’m happy to announce that in my multiple return visits since, cha cha cherry has returned to the line-up, and I love introducing people to this place of business. My daughters all love this place too, and have their own cards with their favorites listed, but never miss the opportunity to try something new.Many products of great quality are available as well as multiple capacity containers for each to choose from. Listen to their advice, but don’t be afraid to let them know what you prefer as well.If you’re ever in the area, just stop for a moment. If you’re not in the area, The Purple Bubble Bar is all the excuse you need to go. Even if you don’t have the intention of purchasing anything, I encourage you to make time for what may or may not be one of your more “paid attention to” senses, you’ll be glad you did. While you’re there, you can ask Joslyn about the time she had an incident with an entire vial of Cha Cha Cherry!”
“Been visiting this place off and on for about 6 months and I can say that it's a fun place with great deals if you just put some effort into the process!! Staff has been nice, and seem to like working there so see you next visit!!”
“I had a great experience with this business. Getting family t-shirts made for my child’s prek graduation was a last minute decision that I made, having no idea where to even start. After googling multiple places and making numerous phone calls for business that make same day t-shirts I came across this business and I will never regret my choice. The manager was so friendly throughout the entire process and was able to complete my family of 4 graduation shirts in less than 24 hours. I truly recommend this business if you are looking for great service, great prices, and Great custom shirts!”

2601 W Lake Ave, Peoria“I go to this Burlington basically every day as I work at a neighboring business. The employees for the most part are all really nice! However, there is this one gentlemen’s who is Asian and he’s usually up on the register when I see him and he is always so rude. I work in customer service so I’m always really friendly and he never says hello or anything to me and acts like he’s so annoyed whenever he’s ringing me up. I know retail sucks because I also work in retail, I just don’t take it out on everyone, especially the nice people.”
“Nice store, I’ve been and shopped twice, nice shoes, nice shirts, pants, cloths, even tv in the back to watch, nice not over priced and worth the shop. Me and my girlfriend will be going there again.”
“This is one of the best boutiques I’ve ever been in. The brands, quality, selection, decor, attention to detail is perfect. I could have spent hours in there! The sales associate (I wish I would have got her name) was so nice, helpful and patient with me. She made the shopping experience wonderful and I am so appreciative of that.”

805 SW Adams St, Peoria“Rambler stands out as a unique merchant for men who prefer more rugged textiles and crafts. I haven't seen anything else like it since my time in Blue Ridge.”
“Came in today and I got the wedding dress of my dreams! The owner made it possible and can’t thank her enough! Place is very clean and it has lots of different selections! Quality of the dresses are also amazing! I Totally recommend for everyone and anyone to give it a try! It doesn’t disappoint! It is very professional and everyone was very helpful, kind, and didn’t try to rush you out the door like some places do! They are very patient and very understanding and flexible with you! They will take your time with you to make sure everything is taken care of! I Love it and will come again! ❤️”
9AM - 10:30PM
2601 W Lake Ave, Peoria“This location is one of the best for finding cheap products and they have steals that you wouldn’t expect to find. A generally clean location but sometimes the wait lines are insane when they’re super busy. This is a frequent location that we shop at.”
“I took my daughter in over the weekend to get a belt that she saw there a week ago. Jamya greeted us and when the belt was gone, she knew what my daughter was looking for and found it online for us. A less helpful sales member would have just said sorry, we don't have it. We were in and out in maybe 5 minutes. Ask for Jamya when you visit. I think they get commission and I'm confident that she will go the extra mile if you need it.”
“I was shopping with my 12 year old granddaughter for shorts and tops. Many to choose from, just not much variety. Prices were good, good sales. Sales person was friendly enough, but was a tad pushy about me signing up for their rewards program.”
“This is by far my favorite place in the mall. Everyone has their own style, and this is by far mine. Jewelry, i would stay away from. Most if not all of it is plated gold, "not real," wears off after time. Other than that, the accessories are great! Clothing is well put together as well. I still have a pair of pants that I bought back in 2016, so I'll give them that, lol. Oh. And idk about their skating items. Never used them. Don't see them sell much. You're better off going to a skate shop when it comes to durability and price. I recommend you look at the shoes, though!”
10AM - 7PM
2200 W War Memorial Dr, Peoria“I absolutely love this store. The staff is always friendly and the selection is on point. I don't feel like an out of place soccer mom trying to relive her glory days here. The selection is great and there is almost always a great deal going on. I am always pleased when I visit one of your stores. Keep up the good work!”
“Really enjoyed the shopping experience. Bought 120 garbage bags for about six dollars and some wonderful smelling perfume. Will definitely be back to shop.tyanks Citi Trends”
“It's ok. I mainly come here for jeans since I'm short. Not much of a selection in tops and dresses. Kind of gives me Old Navy/Aero vibes as far as every sweatshirt or hoodie having AE or American Eagle across it. This particular store has plenty of extra space to add more clothing in the back but it is really spaced out. A smidge pricey depending on what you are buying.”
“Beth the professional bra fitter was amazing. I was so grateful she was able to help me during this stressful time. She is very knowledgeable in her products and is truly wonderful. She is a great listener to patient needs ❤. Thank you ❤️.”
“I like this store, the employees are not asking every few minutes," can I help you " they let customers walk around and make decisions . I also like the layout of the store.”
“I live out of state and they were recommended to me from a friend. I ordered a pretty large order online. Shipped SAME DAY!! And arrived states away within a couple of days omg!!
I ordered a size up in things so I could have some cute maternity bump friendly clothes.
Even got hand written note from staff. Will definitely order again!”
“Really neat boutique in the area. All the items are tailored to a specific vibe. Lots of cool decorations and locally made artwork. Also a nice selection of plants, they all look very well taken care of. Staff was very kind. Some of the items were a bit pricey, but it all seemed like great quality and not random knock off items, so it made it worth it. Found exactly what I was looking for. Would recommend. (The side door is the “front” door btw)”
