Bang Bang Boutique

"I love this little shop. The owners have always been helpful and nice. The clothes there are unique, cute, are of good quality, and reasonably priced. Glad after all these years they’re still around!"

"They are scammers and accuse you of stealing their merchandise, in hopes of bullying you into paying them out of fear. If they do this, call the cops yourself and see how quickly they change their tune. Absolutely appalling behavior from both owners. Needless to say, that I definitely will not be returning."

"We have shopped here several times in the past. However, after today, I'd recommend locals and tourists to stay far away from this place. We are locals that shop locally for most things, from clothing to food. Today we ventured into Bang Bang where I was met by Athan Loukakis the owner, we exchanged small talk then Athan brought 2 different dresses for my wife, neither were her style so she place them both on a rack. Upon looking through the store for another 10 to 15 minutes, we left without buying anything. My wife and I then visited the art gallery and paint with a twist. Upon walking out of paint with a twist, Athan is yelling down the street. Hey, hey, where did you put that dress. I told him I watched my wife put that dress on the rack, and we even showed him where we put it. He still accused us of stealing the dress as he told us he had 5. I then asked to see his video cameras and stock quantitie reports. Athan then tells me that none of the cameras in the store work. This is when Athan started becoming apologetic and offered us the dress for free. I stepped outside and called the Colorado Springs Police Department. Due to a traffic accident that cause I25 south to close, CSPD told us they couldn't send an officer. However, we could file a report in person, which we set up to do on Monday. As a 21-year veteran and a local that supports local businesses, I would highly recommend avoiding this place at all costs. Threatening people they stole from you and then trying to get them to pay for items they never stole might work on tourists. However, it won't work on locals. Google nor the BBB won't be my last stop. Athan and Paula Loukakis, this is 2023. Get working cameras if you plan on accusing people of stealing. You wasted an hour and a half of my life then wanted to give me the dress for free. I will update this as this story unfolds over the next week. I also learned that Athan enjoys bullying his other local business owners. His property manager and I will be speaking on Monday."

"Great place. I was given the opportunity to have a beautiful dress of my choice, bought for me. I used to come to the store when I worked downtown a couple years ago. The woman and gentleman who own it have always been very Pleasant and accommodating. I went in today and spent about an hour trying on dresses and shoes. The lady who owns it was incredibly helpful. She made me feel welcome and comfortable. She went out of her way to help me choose the right dress and the right boots. Thank you so much"

"They had the cutest clothes in the window so we were excited to go in and check it out. We were in and out in about 5 minutes. As soon as we walked in, no hi or welcome just glaring us up and down. The clothes were really cute however, I didn't appreciate the owner following us around the store like we were gonna steal. When she had to put away clothes, she told her husband "watch them" right as I was walking past them!!! They BOTH then proceeded to hover near every rack that we were looking at. I had every intention of purchasing this cute pair of pants I found but instead, I told my group to put everything back and that we were not buying a single thing in that store due to the way we were just treated. I will never go in there again or recommend it to anyone. Guess my group didn't fit how honest paying customers "look" to them. It's a shame."
