Zooeys

Zooeys has been in Corvallis for over 30 years and has through out time offered absolutely beautiful clothes, a place to feel welcome in, and a kind, helpful staff of women of all ages, sizes and style. As a supporter of downtown businesses, I have never felt that I was not welcome due to my financial class in this store. I am a working woman with many financial obligations as most of us are, but I have never been discouraged from looking, trying things on and occasionally buying. Whenever i need a break from life, I tend to find myself browsing through the clothing in Zooeys, talking with the truly genuine staff and even relaxing in there seating area reading the newest magazines. After leaving with or without a purchase, I always feel refocused to finish out the rest of the day with a brighter outlook. As far as their return policy of seven days or their holding of items, we must all understand that they are a single, small retail store. We as consumers, can’t expect stores such as Zooeys to have hold items until our next paycheck or return things weeks or months after we purchase them. This is how a small successful business drowns in overhead. I love Zooeys and what they offer to Corvallis, besides just gorgeous clothing. They offer fashion advice when needed, a comfortable environment to try on clothing and first and foremost camaraderie to every women regardless of they class or age. more

I'm perplexed by a review that categorizes Zooey's as snooty, rude. Sounds like a vindictive rant by an unhappy person. Personally I've never had anything but superior service at Zooey's. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun. I run into lots of people I know while shopping. Love to find a great selection of Eileen Fisher outside of Portland. Love the convenience of shopping in Corvallis. This store has always been a cornerstone of women's fashion clothing with a loyal following. Count me as a dedicated fan. more

Remember how Julia Roberts was treated in "Pretty Woman" when she went in that first clothing store? Well, that's how I feel now when I shop at Zooeys. I've been shopping at Zooeys since Karla opened the place. I've spent thousands of dollars there, but times have changed and the new owner has a different attitude toward "customers". I was chastised, scolded and put in my place, for wanting to return something, which I had every right to do, being the customer, after all. Today, I was told that the store policy was to hold items only through the end of the business day. A friend called and asked the same question and was told items could be held for three days. I must say I did not and do not feel welcome in a store I used to visit literally everyday. I will not return. Nordstrom and on-line offer the same items with more selection, friendlier service and less attitude. This is Corvallis, not Beverly Hills. Zooeys used to be my favorite clothing store of all, including Nordstrom, so I'm sad that their attitude toward me, as a customer has eroded to this point. If you're new to Corvallis, make sure you're the right "type" to shop there. If so, you'll probably love the place, but genuine and truly congenial, it's not. I had to give a rating of one star because it was required or I would have blanked it. more

AHHHHHHHHH I LOVED IT ! more
