H&M

Very cool clothes and such for a reasonable price. The employees there do not look very happy to be there for the most part and sometimes it is too disorganized

I have never witnessed employees work so slow. They are completely unmotivated and not phased by the unreasonable lines in the check out area.
This is the main reason I won’t shop here. It takes you longer to GIVE them your money than it does to shop the entire store. Come on! Get it together!

H&M is a great addition to Gurnee Mills. This Swiss clothing discounter is akin to the IKEA of retailing: quality is good but styling is superb. H&M really has their finger on the pulse of fashion trends and they bring them at an amazingly low price point. From socks ($ 17.95 for 10 pairs) to sunglasses ($ 10 a pair), I rely on H&M to deliver the goods. I had my sunglasses on a few weekends ago and my friend asked, «Where’d you get those fancy designer shades?» How cool is that?
I’ve gotten a stylish navy blue trench coat there and found shorts on sale for amazing prices. Yesterday I found a great pair of lounging shorts for $ 5! I spotted a very cool cowl neck cotton pullover for my partner which was just in as well. At $ 29, it looked just like the one that sells for $ 195 at Allsaints Spitalfields or James Perse.
From time to time, they will partner with high-​end designers to bring a special capsule collection to the store. Right now, they’re featuring French designer Isabel Marant. In the past, they’ve had collections by Viktor & Rolf, Jimmy Choo, Karl Lagerfeld, Versace, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Comme des Garçons, Matthew Williamson and Sonia Rykiel. Of course, if you want to feel like sports royalty, you can find the underwear collection by David Beckham there as well.
People have mentioned that lines can be long here, which is true. It’s the trade off you pay for getting this merchandise. As for help on the floor, the people who work here are helpful if you can find one available. I don’t mind about this so much. These aren’t deal breakers for me.
I’ve also gone here to pick up gifts for friends around their birthdays and the holidays. I always find really fun gifts from purses to hats to jewelry. It’s hip and inexpensive. I love H&M.

Long line every time.

I went into this store after visiting my parents. I felt like buying something and I didn’t anticipate finding anything. I went in to find a huge selection and some of the greatest outfits ever! The prices are extremely reasonable, but the clothing is well made and fashionable. Love it!

I was originally excited that Gurnee Mills would be getting this store since it is great for gift shopping and accessories. However, when I visited this location recently, I was very displeased that I couldn’t find an earring, necklace, whatever. They have a limited selection of clothing and don’t offer plus sizes either.
