"My significant other recently came out as non-binary to me. I’ve been wanting to take them out shopping because they mentioned being more on the feminine side than the masculine side. This was where they chose to go and I’m so glad. From the get go the two employees were friendly. I’ve been doing my partner’s makeup for when we go out and after a stop or two they feel uncomfortable and nervous, however after this stop I don’t think that happened. They found a few tops that they liked and to be sure the items fit my partner had to ask to use a fitting room. The employee, I believe D’Asia, was super friendly and complimented my partner’s hair. She opened the fitting room for us and offered to give us the bigger one if wanted since we had our babies with us. Before checking out, my partner was looking at the perfumes and colognes when D’Asia stopped and told us she was going to give us some samples to smell. She didn’t just hand them colognes to smell, and when they picked a perfume she happily got it off the shelf for them. I’m completely overwhelmed with how safe of a space it felt for my person and have so much gratitude for the employees we met today."

"I wanted to give praise and thanks to the wonderful and delightful Shawanda. She is one of the Managers at this location. She was so helpful and patient with my mother (who is 71 years young). She helped to resolve the issue at hand and was super kind while doing so. I am so blessed to still know that there are true "Angels" roaming the streets of this world, and are willing to help out the elderly when they need them most. Again thank you Shawanda for your outstanding customer service and patient heart. Be blessed. Rue 21 just gained a new customer. Happy holidays to all."

"We did some birthday/after Christmas shopping for my daughters. This is one of their favorite stores. They found some items they liked. Overall, the prices are a bit much for the merchandise being sold. We will visit again but the visits will only be for special occasions."

"Great friendly staff. Skyy was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. We bought my daughter some clothes and shoes from here and Skyy was there to offer sugggestions and help with whatever we needed. The store was clean, put together, and easy to maneuver around. Plus they had $5 sandals!!! We will definitely return soon."

"They had an amazing sale going on today. An extra 25% off clearance items. Got my daughter some stuff and we racked up. I'm always able to find something when I go."
