Old Navy

The employees are nice and the store is generally clean. They really try to give you discounts and we had a lot of help in finding the clothes we needed. I think the quality of the clothes has improved a lot. The winter jackets are really cute and affordable. Also they have a good variety of professional clothes.

I always walk in with high hopes, look through the disorganized racks to find either nothing that I like or if I like it… I can guarantee that it isn’t in my size. The cloths are worth the price if they are on the clearance racks but they certainly are not of a quality warranting 34 dollar khakis. Sorry Old Navy, I much rather wear dockers for 35 bucks.

it’s funny that i’m reviewing an Old Navy here, but i had a good experience so i thought i’d share.
i live in Center City so i usually find myself at the Old Navy on Columbus Blvd, which normally looks like a hurricane hit it and the staff is disinterested and surly. so my bar for Old Navy stores is set pretty darn low. i have no illusions about this chain — it has inexpensive cheaply made clothing that lasts, at best, six months to a year. and never mind the human cost of the merchandise. i am stuck shopping there because i am plus size and i am broke. c’est la vie.
ANYWAY. this particular store was well put together. the clearance section (which i make a beeline for everytime i’m there) was in reasonable condition. it was a bit disorganized and small, though.
while i was browsing, i sneezed a number of times and an older woman on staff smiled and made a sympathetic comment about allergies and it being a bad time of year for them. it was small gesture but was really nice and put me in a good mood.
i had a $ 10 coupon, and used it on a few pairs of earrings. it turns out the coupon couldn’t be used on jewelry, but the manager (the same woman who commented to me before) was kind enough to override it before i could even ask. it was really nice. i work out on the Main Line, so i’ll be back here.

This is a good branch. It has a women’s, men’s and kids section. Within women’s there is comfy-​casual, chic-​casual, business, active and sleep/​lingerie. I’ve found some great work outfits here, and they usually have plenty of sizes (I go online if not, and it’s sometimes cheaper anyway). They don’t have good work pants — unless you’re going for business casual (i.e. khakis) — but the blouses are super cute and they also have some decent flats you could wear to work.
The store is always busy but they seem to clean up/​stock as much as they can and the lines never get long. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable whenever I’ve gone in.

I went here trying to pick up a winter hat… now remember that word winter. I walk into the store in the Wynnewood shopping center. I start strolling the aisles looking for that craziness they call the «winter hat». Aisle after asile all I can find is flip flops, board shorts and paper thin old navy version AC/​DC shirts.
Now this is the Old Navy in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. Not Wynnewood, Florida or Wynnewood, Arizona… but Pennsylvania. You know. The Northeast region of the United States. The date is January 29 so its mid winter. There is that word again… winter.
Now after walking the entire store looking for the elusive «winter hat» I go to customer service and she tells me they no longer have any winter hats in stock and most likely will not be getting any in till next season. Next season? Isn’t it still this season.
Yo Old Navy!!! its 20 degrees outside and you want to sell me some lime green flip flops and some super cool board shorts in January, in Pennsylvania.
dumb store, dumb names for dumb clothes, dumb inventory, dumb winter hats… or lack of… winter…hats.
