5 /5 Katherine Barth: I’m writing this review specifically about one (amazing!) employee named Kela, who works at this store. It’s worth a trip to the store just to chat with her alone. She’s warm, helpful and above all: kind! Kela helped me pull off what my boyfriend described as “the most thoughtful gift he’s ever received”. I can’t thank her enough!
My boyfriend and I have an inside joke about a song we love where the artist mentions he bought he and his girlfriend gray Theory sweats (Pride by Kevin Gates). About 3 weeks away from Christmas, I called looking for just that - the catch was they had to be gray, matching top and bottoms and have sizes to fit my boyfriend and I. I called to ask what the store had and spoke with Kela, who was patient and helpful, especially with such a random and specific request. She ended up texting me a few pics of what they had in stock and we chatted back and forth about sizing. Kela helped me order all the items for both my boyfriend and I as well as helped apply additional discounts to the order which was awesome. I was torn between what size pant he’d need so she offered to even hold the other size at the store until I got everything. After a quick exchange for the right size everything arrived and was PERFECT! I couldn’t even wait until Christmas and after a few glasses of wine ended up giving my boyfriend the present early. He was so surprised and happy - it was truly one of the the best moments of our holidays this year!
I’ve worked in retail for 10 years and can pretty easily recognize when someone is just providing mediocre service vs. raising the bar. Kela went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for her help! Like I said - if you visit the outlets, you must stop by and see her!
