Old Navy

This location is hit or miss for me. Simply because of the unbearable long lines that they seem to have no matter when I go there. I got lucky last time I went there. I literally told my hubby to drop me off in front of the store at 9:30 pm on a Saturday night. The store was a mess but I was able to pick up some gifts and get out in 30 minutes. Yes my friends in 30 minutes. Ha ha. Do not know if I shall go back during the day though. That night might have been a fluke.

I’d rather go to the location in Chelsea, but this one is a 10 minute subway ride south on the A for me, so it is rather convenient. On those occasions where I need to get some last minute gift clothing for a parents or younger cousin, or if I need a last minute nice outfit and don’t feel like going to the mess of an H&M a few blocks away, this Old Navy fits the bill.
It’s always been pretty well-​organized when I’ve been there. The staff at the cash registers are genial. The lines, however, can be just as long as the lines downtown. They move at a good clip though, unless you’re stuck behind someone returning an entire shopping cart worth of clothing. Yeah, I’m speaking from experience. Ha! Log onto their free WiFi and cruse through Instagram while waiting. That’s my tried and true suggestion. ;-)

The lazy person working there told my wife that the system is down so they couldn’t do an online return. But then she was able to do it. But she made it seem like it was the biggest pain in the world for her to do but it took literally 30 seconds. She was just a lazy sack of shit.

This is a typical old navy. Cheap clothes, plastic hangers and long lines. Nothing much else to say… They can look up returns by your credit card which is a plus. Pretty good inventory that moves. Awesome clearance, but a web of straps and hangers. And I don’t have time for that!!!

I came in here this afternoon to browse for some clothes for my daughter and of course I walked out empty handed. When I walked into the store, I noticed there was a long line at the checkout area on the first floor and of course I wasn’t surprised. Please read my tip for this store… some things never change so why even bother to go into detail and complain, it’s pointless!
The children’s department is on the second floor with the men’s department, why do stores do this? The toddlers’ area had a very limited selection of clothes and what was left was unorganized. I will stick to the Old Navy stores downtown.

I don’t know what all the negativity is about. This store is solid. They have a good amount of inventory. I’ve bought stuff for myself, my husband and lots of kids (babies and toddlers) here and never had a problem finding stuff. Sure, on a Saturday afternoon it can be crowded and a little out of order. But what store isn’t a little disorganized on Saturday afternoon?
They have a decent amount of clearance stuff for women, men and a little bit for baby. It can be hard to go through so I usually don’t since the regular stuff is so cheap.
The lines look long sometimes but move fast.
Overall I like this store and I shop here a lot when I need cheap clothes.

This place was such a mess! Dresses were hanging on the racks INSIDE OUT. Somebody who worked there made the effort to hang up the dresses, but couldn’t bring themselves to put them right side out? C’mon. In the kids section, the merchandise was so picked over it was ridiculous. On one shorts rack, there was a single, lonely pair of shorts. Everything was in disarray. Sizes and styles all strewn together. Won’t be coming back.

Went in looking for the maternity section and found it literally buried in the kids section! What a mess!!!

You should never walk into a store and say «ewww gross» but thats exactly what happened. Unfortunately for me I had to go to the kids section which is upstairs meaning that I had to walk through the whole store to get there. Every single department is a disgusting disaster.
A messy store doesnt necessarily mean the customers are messy. A messy store means that there is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE to help people find sizes, styles or to discourage them from picking items up and tossing them back in the wrong area (ie. on the floor) out of frustration.
This store is nasty and you had better be sure that your immunizations are up to date before attempting to shop here. Its pretty much like this location was «decorated» by a hoarder — just crap strewn all over the place.

I thought I should stand up for this place. I bought a great shirt on clearance there and they seemed to have a fair inventory. The crowd was generally polite and so were the staff. I have no complaints about this place compared to any other old navy.

The condition of this store is truly unfortunate. When this Old Navy is taken into account with the H & M a few blocks east, it remains the fact that there are zero shopping options on 125^th street.
The store is a mess.
The store is not well stocked.
The help is extremely unprofessional.
And they have bedbugs, apparently, not surprising because Magic Johnson is also infested I have been told.
Whoever is smart enough to open a couple of decent small stores, a decent shoe store, and a decent clothing store will make lots of money. Do not think: ghetto fabulous, bag check, discount, clearance, plus-​sizes, job lot, or dollar store. Do think: People with money to spend and nowhere to go without using a metrocard.

Almost everything I own is from either Gap or Old Navy, so I was thrilled to move practically across the street from what seemed to be a huge store.
Well, it’s definitely big, but wow, where the hell is the merchandise?
The entire men’s department is located in a few corners in the back, and they had what was essentially the same shirt hanging up all over the place to disguise their lack of inventory. I just needed a few solid-​colored T’s, so I was able to find what I was looking for, but I think I’ll head downtown for a more complete selection.
The girls at the register were having a mass embolism over whether or not to authorize a Gap gift card. It’s the same company, ladies; yes, you can use it. One of my two stars goes to my cashier, who whispered to me, «Yo, they’ve been playin’ with my emotions all day, so I’m not gonna tell them that I used one of those gift cards last week.» Stay strong, girl.

This Old Navy is baaaaad and trust me I LOVE shopping on 125^th street. Its always unorganized and EMPTY. Every single time there’s a sale you’re GUARANTEED to find NOTHING within hours of the sale at this location. Plus, it smells pretty awful all the time too. GET SOME FEBREZE AT THIS LOCATION ASAP!

So Old Navy is not one of my favorite stores but it’s a fairly good to place to stock up on basics like tanks and tees. And you have to love their 2 for $ 5 flip flops.
So I came here with my mom because there’s nothing like shopping when your parents are in town. They were having an in store promotion, buy anything in the store and get another item 50% off. Here I was thinking I lucked out, but then reality set in… there was only one thing in the entire store that I liked. One? One. Insanity.
My mom had a much better experience, she got five dresses, so at least one of us had a positive shopping experience.

This Old Navy is not as big as the one on 34^th street but the fitting rooms are quick come and go, and the line moves along quickly. The staff are also very nice and helpful!
Minus 2 stars because of its limited selection.

(Don’t be a hater — that’s 3 out of 5 Old Navy stars.)
For those of you who love cheap clothes shopping, the mecca that is 125^th street awaits.
This specific Old Navy has a pretty solid inventory, tons of registers so it almost never has long lines and they move quick, and the same goes for dressing room lines. No big girl section, small kids section, but good basic women’s and men’s areas. It can be a little messy, but not awful, and the staff has been friendly when I’ve been in.
Can you beat 2 pair of flip flops that won’t tear your shit up for 5 bucks? I thought not. And Old Navy finally got the memo about how AWFUL side pockets are. They have a lot of pants with little flat front pockets. yay!
And they’ve got some cute dresses and tshirts this spring. Bonus.
