Well, I must say I have been a part of the theatrical world for a while now...I had a friend who's a music teacher who told me about this place. I went over there and was floored by the selection. I'm talking about actual theatrical costumes, not costumes you can buy and throw on a hanger and charge $25 for, which is what I've been settling for in the past. They had ACTUAL show pieces, even historical shows from broadway. And the staff was extremely knowledgable of show pieces and time periods. I wound up speaking to their theatre center in Florida, found out they are the nation's largest rental company. You may pay a little more than the other shops, but after many years of working with the others ( I don't like to name names but there are technically only 2 other rental shops and I am speaking plural so I will allow you to put 2 + 2 together) I find it hard to not give Costume World my repeat business. Fast alts, great selection, clean enviroment, and fun. I'm so sick of going into costume shops that are like your grandmother's attic and there's the librarian woman behind the counter who looks like she rather die than help you. This place was energetic, the employees were cutting up, there was dance music playing, and you can tell the other customers were having a good time and the employees truly enjoyed working there. I'm so glad I found this place!
Pros: selection, customer service, hours of operation, location
Cons: i didn't know sooner
