Favorite Retailer

As many of the students in the CARS department, I as well love to shop! I have two favorite ratailer's imparticular that I shop in pretty regularly, or whenever I have some extra money. These retailing stores are Banana Republic and J. Crew. I love these stores for many reasons, but goes beyond just because of the clothes and shopping in general!

I like both Banana Republic and J. Crew for many of the same reasons. I like the stores in general because they both are very fashion forward, and always in with the trends for each particular season. The apparel is always very clean cut and sophisticated, but also fun and youthful. I love the fact that the stores are both so in touch with many different groups of people. Whether you are young or old, work in a business, or just a stylish woman on the go, there seems to be something at each store for everyone. I also love the fact that each store is so welcoming and treat you as family from the minute you walk into the door, all the way through check out and the departure. Neither store tends to bombard you, but workers are always willing to help when needed. The layouts of the stores are also very welcoming. Each store is organized with the customers in mind, having specific sections layed out for bright colors, casual, evening, accessories, and clearance. This is so when a customer comes in and is looking for a specific occasion they know where to go if they are a frequent shopper, but if not the worker can easily show them the correct direction. I also like the fact that both stores really look out for all types of people. When you hear these names you automatically may think its for the upper class, but with the sale and clearance racks you can always find a good deal.

Hands down, these two stores personally are my favorite not only because of my sophisticated style, but because of my experience in these stores! By the time I leave either one of these stores with something I always feel confident in myself because of the clothes I have selected, but also because of the positive experience in the store. This could be with finding what I needed quickly, getting a good deal, or even just dealing with nice staff. I hope this encourages you to try these stores if you have not already done so, because they have changed my life with both the style I have created with myself, as well as shown me what a good retailer is and what they do. This especially inspires me because I would like to one day open up a store, and this shows me positive examples of things I can incorporate into my own store!
