Forever 21

Advertised as open til 9pm, doors already locked at 8:20. Guess the employees are trying to get out early to go clubbing.

Not terribly impressed with the selection at this particular 21 store. I much prefer the online prices and inventory. Staff here weren’t particularly friendly and didn’t know what cabbie hats are. Maybe it’s a millennial thing. I will stick with just ordering my clothes online.

Costumer service sucks!!! The people that work here are rude and just don’t care. A bunch of hipsters that are full of themselves. I accidentally bumped into a worker and they just got angry and walked away even after I apologized. My sister applied for a job here and the people that took her application were hesitant and some in the back were laughing. They then put her application on the side of the table and told her they would call her. I don’t care that they never called, but they were extremely unprofessional and rude. The plus size section upstairs is always having fitting room issues so people have to walk back downstairs in order to try on clothes, then there’s a limit for how much clothes to bring into the fitting room. There’s a lot of discrimination in the store and the employees really need to learn etiquettes. Until then, I’ll search for clothes elsewhere.

This store is okay, I guess. I never find anything for myself, but my wife finds stuff here every once in a while. I always have to watch my step, otherwise I’ll slip on one of the many hangers on the floor.
The upstairs (full figure and kids) fitting room is closed indefinitely. I guess they have no love for those particular shoppers.
It seems like the store could use more staff. Then they could use the upstairs fittin rooms and also keep the floors clear of merchandise.

I love this store I always find something to surprise at the parties and pay dimes on a dollar. Google what kind of party or activity your are having and look at the images and find it at Forever 21 a lot cheaper. :-)

Worst Customer Service Ever!
This was more of a hassle than and great shopping experience. My niece and I went shopping and ended up at Forever 21. We saw plenty of nice outfits to try on. At first I was upstairs. I had an arm full of clothes about to try them on. Then one of the associates informed me that the fitting rooms were closed. I had to lug an arm full of clothes downstairs to the other fitting room that was opened. I was a little annoyed, but I really wanted to try on the clothes.
Once I got to the fitting room that seem like it was a mile away. The fitting room attendant was rude and disrespectful. I was showing my niece an outfit that I tried on. Next thing I know is the attendant yelled at my niece to get out of the dressing room with me. Now I understand if that is a rule, but she could have handled the situation without screaming. I peak my head out to explain to her that she was with me and that she was my niece. The attendant said that only kids can come in the fitting room with me. I told the attendant that she is a kid and repeated that she’s my niece. The attendant then stated that only kids under the age of nine only should be allowed in the fitting room with someone else. I realized that she wanted to be confrontational.
I got dressed and left everything because I will not spend my hard earned money in places that cannot respect or appreciate my business. I am sure not all of the associates are like this; however, first impressions are everything and that fitting room attendant dropped the ball.

Forever 21 sucks the staff is extremely rude and the store has weird expensive clothes it’s abnormal terrible.

You will find something here!

Oh goodness… Where to begin…
Forever 21 is about the destination, not the journey. You will be miserable combing through racks of ridiculous clothes to find that great diamond in the rough. You will be treated badly by the employees (I had one employee bitch me out for taking a shirt off of a rack that he had left, but felt I should have known he was still working on it…). You will try your best not to let your clothes touch the dressing room floors for fear of them getting covered in all of the dust that has, I’m assuming, never been swept. You will endure all of that and yet at the end, like a victim of Stockholm Syndrome, you will leave with a big smile and a shopping high for having spent $ 30 for an entire new wardrobe (of clothes that will likely fall apart after the first wash).
As you can tell, I have a love/​hate relationship with this store. I’ve sworn never to return many a time, only to find myself back the next time I went to the mall (‘just to go to zara– I won’t go back to F21!’).
2 stories full of cheap clothes, some of which are actually wearable… Damnit, Forever21! Why can’t I quit you!?!

I love Forever 21! And this store is HUGE! Its 2 stories and has tons of awesome clothes. They clothes range from super trendy to classics (like white sundresses and skinny jeans). I found a lot of cute clothes and they are generally pretty inexpensive. Especially for basics like tanks, cami’s and such. This one also has a plus size section, a small mens section and even a wall of kids clothes. They are always changing up their selection.
The store is huge though and can be overwhelming so its best to go earlier in the day and when you have time to spare so that you won’t be rushed. But overall I love it.

I went for the first time because a friend was given a gift card and wanted to find an outfit for her birthday. She had never been there before either. We were shocked at the size of the Florida Mall store! We were immediately excited thinking this should be easy. Little did we know…
It was later in the evening, so the store was fairly busy with mostly South American tourists. Lots of staff were working which was nice. The ones we talked with were all very cheerful and helpful. I have no complaints about them at all.
My complaints are about the quality of the clothes. I guess it’s true that you get what you pay for. We were surprised at how cheap everything was. At one point, we found a t-​shirt that the regular price was $ 2.50! Seriously? Are they funding a sweat shop somewhere? A gallon of gas costs more than that.
After looking for over an hour through the entire store, we were both having a hard time finding anything either of us liked. It was really sad. My friend found 3 things to try on and I grabbed a simple t-​shirt. Once we tried them on, she left the dressing room with only one thing and even my fitted t-​shirt (how do you mess that up?) looked like a frumpy sack on me.
She had $ 60 to spend and was told she couldn’t get the cash from the gift card. And there was no way she was going back. She was even offering to buy me things just to spend the money! LOL We finally looked through the jewelry which was fine and she picked up some slippers. But still had money left on the card. Right before we left the store, we found a complete stranger and gave the rest of the card to her. Hopefully, she found something nice. :) Sadly, just goes to show that when you’re in your mid-30’s you’re not forever 21!

2 floors of pure amazingness!!!
I went to the FL mall today to grab something very specific and after I was done that, my mission was to get out FAST…
#1 because I currently have no money
#2 because I was NOT in the right frame of mind (aka Retail Therapy was creepin’)
#3 Forever 21 is my weakness
I can literally spend hours shopping in Forever 21 stores. I prefer heading to these stores at random times in the week as they get overly stuffy with people, I can’t take the tweens! Like OMG this is so cute, counting their money and talking about how Jake slipped them a note in history class (gag… I prefer to watch Gossip Girl and pretend every highschool kid is rich, of legal drinking age and in the middle of starting their own clothing line)… anyway… this place on the weekends = slow, painful death.
So… since it was EARLY when I was there and I saw Forever 21 shining on the outside corner next to the food court outside right next to my car… I HAD to just go look. Lucky for me I had NO cards on me and only $ 20 to my name so I knew it could not be terrible.
This place is HUGE! Imagine the Millenia Mall location on steroids and SOOO Much more organized! It is 2 floors bustling with cute tops, affordable jeans, amazing jewelry and HOT dresses. Where to start? The entire downstairs is open and lovely. There is a room dedicated to Heritage which is their more flirty, active line? Love it!
The upstairs is mostly younger gen along with kids. There are some ladies pics up there but mostly black and nothing amazing (this time around).
There are two HUGE fitting rooms (one upstairs and one down) so I am sure it helps when it’s über busy. There are so many accessories to choose from too which is one of my favorite parts.
Every employee I came in contact with (~4) were super nice! Props!
I am a fan of this location, however, I will only visit on random days and hours in order to miss the crowds!

This store is gynormous! This particular location does a good job of keeping organized and clean. Usually Forever 21 stores tend to be too cluttered and everything tends to be all over the place when it’s busy, but not this one. It’s a good size store and all the different styles are in their own section of the store.
TIP: It tends to get crazy on the weekends, especially in the afternoon. If you have a chance, hit the store on a weekday. I also like going alone or setting up a meet-​here-​at” time if there are others so that I can browse through everything; there’s so much to see!
