discounted price. It has numerous locations, but a popular site is in one of Kansas’ shopping malls, Towne East Square Mall, located in Wichita. This particular store is not a great store due to its lack of organization, its poor customer service, and it’s unreasonable and beatable prices.

I love to shop at department stores, specifically Neiman Marcus. The reason I love to shop there is because of the variety of brands they offer, their excellent customer service, and well-organized store. One example I had at Neiman…

The Shopping Experience Walking into a beach dock themed store with wooden like floors. Casually wandering into the girl’s side of the store hoping I don't blow my money on all the clothes I fall in love with. The big screens with videos of the beach making me wish it could be warm enough outside to go, which helps the store sell more clothes since its soon to be spring. On the left would be the dresses and tops hanging on clothes racks and on the other side would be the more casual shirts…
