“I love finding boutiques!I found this place by accident one day as I was running errands, and did a quick peek for a wedding theme color. Although I didn't find the color I needed, I knew I wanted to come back.When I finally came back to shop, I had such a wonderful experience!I was greeted warmly, had a fitting room started for me, and was tempted to buy half the store!I came back another day for some pieces I didn't purchase the previous time, but they were gone :(There's a sort of thrill and disappointment at seeing the limited availability. Creates a sort of shopping rush to the experience!However, I did notice not all the staff are as warm as I experienced on my first shopping experience there.The last time I went, one staff member, short hair and bright blue contacts, wouldn't even make eye contact with me, and hardly spoke a word.”
“So I went to buy me some sneakers today. As I was looking around Jay (worker) and I struck up a nice conversation. He was really friendly and helpful, when I have visited in the past the workers have not been this friendly nor helpful. He is definitely a keeper, need more like him!! Jay made my day! ?”
“Jasmain took care of my daughter and I today. We couldn’t believe how much she knew about each shoe ..highly recommend and we are not easy to please because we both have issues finding shoes to fit us. She stayed with us the whole time helping us try them on.”
“This has been the best location with customer service. Employees, Charlynn, Doug, and Liberty were so professional and helpful. There was a problem with an online sale and Liberty and Charlynn got on the phone with corporate and got everything straightened out for me. Bless them for such a great job.”
“I understand that prices have risen alot,but $85.00 for my Skechers... SMH .. good selection if you can afford,I have always shopped here...looks like I can't anymore on a limited income”
“When I went to the store, at this location, they were very helpful, but very short staff. Although the associate was training, another young lady, she handled herself quite well and was able to train and assist Customers. This shows great skills and the ability to multitask. Aside from Hibbett sports not offering a military or first responders discount, which is beyond me, but maybe one day. I love their Selections styles and brands.”
“I had an amazing experience at Retroville thanks to AP! He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and helped me find the perfect pair of sneakers. AP went above and beyond to ensure I got the right fit and style. His customer service was exceptional—he was friendly, attentive, and made the whole shopping experience enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending AP to anyone looking for great shoes and outstanding service!”
