Holly's Kollections,

300 Monticello Avenue, Norfolk, VA 23510

"Not only was I followed around when I was doing my Christmas shopping (I am a 18 year old black girl), when I came back to return the sweaters I bought for my mom (because they didn't fit), the owner was not there. The store was completely closed down. I was only there a couple of weeks ago and couldn't even return my items. While the items there were very nice, the clothing and apparel wasn't very true to size. Be warned if this store ever pops back up again."

"I for one seek out small business owners to do my holiday shopping and the ladies at Holly's Kollections are the real deal. Seeing the negative comments about this business can't be any further from the truth. Take it from me as a chairman of your local chamber of commerce and business devlopment professional. This is a fantastic business and true jewel of MacArthur Center. Happy Holidays new friends and to a prosperous new year."

"BLACK SHOPPERS DO NOT GO HERE! My step-daughter went into this store at Macauthor to do some Christmas shopping. She was followed around the store and accused of stealing. She was basically stripped searched and asked to leave. My husband, myself and her mother came back to find out what was going on and we were treated rudely as well. They lied and accused of being aggressive because we wanted answers about the way our child was treated! It is a shame that a 15 year noticed that she and her friend were treated differently than the white shoppers as soon as they entered the store. She buys things from the Lynnhaven location all of the time. NEVER AGAIN. They will not get a another dime of our hard earned money!"

"I was in the store tonight with my husband and two children, 5 and 8 years old. My kids (in my opinion) were actually behaving considering the usual. I simply was Christmas shopping and as soon as we walked in, my daughter picked up a bell and started ringing it and an older lady with shoulder length blonde hair ( I hope not the owner) came up to her and grabbed it and said “I’ll take that,” I thought that was kind of rude but I was ok with it. The remainder of our time in the store, my husband noticed she was following my kids around the store as they and my husband followed me trying to shop. I still saw no issues with my kids, my son got an ornament for his bus driver I told him he could get and my daughter was simply being a normal 5 year old, NOTHING CRAZY. I was almost done shopping and had a few things in my hand when my daughter, in front of my husband, walked into a shirt rack just to be funny and before my husband could tell her to get out the lady interjects herself (as if we weren’t parenting appropriately) and proceeds to tell her to stop climbing on the rack. At this point I lost it, I put the items I selected down and told my family it was time to go and she says “yea that’s probably a good idea.” I admit, I did call her a choice word at which she said “you are too,” She proceeds to grab the ornament from my son that he picked out for his bus driver and says “I’ll take my reindeer back, thank you.” As we walked out she says “we need to take better care of our children.” Now I am used to my kids misbehaving in stores and I usually walk out when this happens but tonight was just ludicrous, this lady was so rude and unprofessional and I hope she is not the owner because no business today should be ran like that. We had just visited Santa and this was the first store we went in and this lady RUINED our night. I was so mad and we all headed out when we were approached by a group of young people in their early 20’s. They proceeded to say they saw how the lady treated us and they were also treated very rudely. One of the girls stated they were being followed by the same lady and accused of stealing. Now I can’t speak for them cause I have no idea about their encounter, I was simply trying to grab some Christmas presents with my family and boy did this lady disrupt my spirits, a family trip to the mall I have been planning all week, ruined by this lady, I hope this lady’s time in customer service is cut short because she has no business being in her position and by the looks of the reviews, I’m not the only one."

"I will never in my life return to this store or spend any money here. I went in with my husband and my 3 children (2 of which are mixed races) and one is a baby . my children were behind me the entire time I was in the store and she is going to come up and start yelling at me saying my children were running around the store and were in he back storage room and just being nasty and rude and me being the person I am had a respons and then she's tells me I'm not paying attention to my children when they're all right beside me and then called security on me after I told her she was being a racist and racial profiling my children. Out of all the children in there mine were the only ones not playing and touching anything and she wants to say they were all doing thing and they were the only non caucasian in there"
