IDK... this may have been bad for Lace and Lizards that opened on Reno by HPM. There is a store similar to this by my job on the side side. It's called Once Upon A Child.

But I believe these are all different types of places. Children's Place is a new clothing store...trendy stuff for kids. It's well liked every where it goes. Lace and Lizards seems like too mom and pop for us. No one knows it's there and it looks like crap from the outside. They aren't attracting business with the way the building looks...horrible location for a clothing store. But Once Upon A Child also has second hand doesn't it? I've heard all kinds of good things about that place and word of mouth keeps it going.

Yes they do have second hand. I think OUAC has a radio commercial too...

I won't shop at Children's Place anymore. Several items that I bought were worn out within weeks, getting holes in the leggings or seams coming undone. Then while purchasing these items, I requested that I be able to keep the hangers. I have never been turned down for this request when buying new clothes, especially when it's over $100 worth, but the cashier said no, something about "we recycle our hangers". I admittedly came unglued and threatened to walk out leaving the clothes behind. Then she got snide with me and threw them in the sack. If my daughter wasn't with me and already had fallen in love with the shirts and pants, I would have left it all for her to put back up. This was the third time I had gone to this location and both prior times I wasn't impressed with the customer service. This was the final straw. I sure hope this location has better customer service.

Are hangers really worth all that though...for either side? Officially, most stores keep them because it's a cost that isn't included in the garment and then they reuse the hanger....so if you take it, you're getting something for free. But coming "unplugged" over a hanger, might be a bit excessive....it is, afterall, just a hanger. They're dirt cheap at wally world....and you get them free at the cleaners.

Yerp agreed...........................All of us throw hangers away by the boat load...........Frankly I dont want any more than necessary.
With my weekly dry cleaning I have tons of wire hangers and when I attempt to take them back to the dry cleaner, they wont accept then.
ITs against the law for a dry cleaner to recycle cloths hangers......................now isnt that something?:omg:

Really? Why is that? Is it the chemicals or what? That seems kinda weird to require them to not reuse them. Strange.

I know that in the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal. Believe me, I've been dealing with a very traumatic year losing our baby last August, thinking my husband was having a heart attack (ended up being asthma related breathing problems) and being hospitalized myself with blood clots in my lungs a week after delivering a still born baby. I know you don't sweat the small stuff. Life's too short.

My point with the hangers is that if they are going to quibble about them, how about if I have to return something? When I'm paying full price for something (which I never had, nor will ever again), a little give is in order. It's about customer service and making the experience a positive one. If I want bad or no service AND poor quality, I'll go to WalMart.

Like I said their clothes didn't last long enough to justify the expense. That was what made me mad in the end and why I won't shop with them. I've since bought at Land's End, Kohl's and JCPenny's and had much better experiences and the quality is better.

I was really excited about The Children's Place. I have 2 nephews that I love to buy clothes for and the prices there are very reasonable. That being said, you get what you pay for. I have returned everything I bought because the quality seems to be lacking. I bought the sizes I normally buy and when the boys tried them on they were way too small. One shirt did fit my oldest nephew, but the first time it was washed it faded in splotches all over the shirt. The staff was very gracious when I returned everything and even gave me a coupon to use next time. However, I don't think there will be a next time.

I have shopped this store exclusively in several of the cities I have lived. All my kids wear and play and all the rest. The quality is there, the styles are current, but not whoreish like some of the boutique stuff, and last long enough for me to resale them at the local Just Between Friends sale. Always get top $ for my items, but that may be because I wash and care for the items, just a tip, wash and care for the clothes!
