It's been a while since I step foot in a Banana Republic... now I remember why I stepped out of it.
This particular store here was large with a lot of stock. The problem is that the store is sectioned off in little rooms so it's not the easiest to spot something you may find for yourself or a gift. For Christmas, I did some last minute wandering to see if something would catch my eye. I would say that the sales here are very good... 50% off the last price. And they had a lot of things discounted already below 50% off.
Personally I couldnt find anything my size or in a colour that I know someone would want. In general, not too much help here from sales associate. I do appreciate how they had at least 2 cashiers going... seeing how it's holiday season, I was surprised they didnt have 3 since there was always a pretty long line.
If you're looking for a deal, they definitely have them... now whether they have your size is another or style is another story.
