This ginormous Forever 21 has been elevated to a department store, complete with a (seemingly closed) alteration service. I've been in several two-story F21 stores, but this one is several times larger than the largest I've visited. There is a maze of rooms, each full of trendy disposable clothing as far as the eye can see.
The awesome thing about this F21 is the breadth of the rarer departments, namely F21+ and F21 Men. These are usually each a couple of sad racks. Not here! They're entire sprawling sections of their own. The unfortunate thing is that apparently the way you fill a crazy huge F21 is by putting the same clothes on multiple racks in several parts of the store. I saw the same things over and over and over, like a glitch in the matrix. There were also so many racks with one-offs, it was overwhelming.
Checkout crawled, which seems like a problem at every location. There was one employee dealing with the growing line while several other employees hung out nearby. But I scored some sweet macaron socks and a cheap cami - I guess that was worth the wait?
