My boyfriend and I went shopping at several stores in an area to check them out. Some of our observations included:
1) Nordstrom Rack had a strange entrance layout but rolly carts and felt warehouse-like due to the high ceilings and lighting.
2) Fuego creeped me out but my boyfriend noted their innovative use of vertical space. We had mixed impressions between cluttered and inviting.
3) The Apple store had minimal product but many employees and was the only store without its name above the entrance.
4) Sunglass Hut was empty and unapproachable. Bath & Body Works seemed focused on short-term business due to worn floors and employee attitudes.
