Unlimited Choices Greek Boutique Inc. in Columbia seems to be *the* spot for all things Greek and Masonic, or so I've gathered. From what people have said, they stock a bunch of stuff for fraternities, sororities, Eastern Star, and Masonic groups. Plus, word is, they do professional embroidery, which is honestly a godsend when you need something personalized.

You know what people really seem to be impressed by, though? Apparently, Ms. Ann, the owner, is super friendly and helpful; I guess she goes above and beyond. Loads of people rave about her customer service, attentiveness, also how quickly she gets orders done. Some reviewers mention her willingness to order stuff they don't have in stock, which is pretty great, also I saw a lot of mentions of decent pricing and the embroidery quality. There were a few remarks about pricing on some items being a bit high, or wanting more selection for each group, nevertheless it all seems great!

Salty's Board Shop in Columbia comes highly recommended, they seem to have all sorts of surf, skate, and snow stuff you could need. Plus, I heard they have a huge selection of name-brand sunglasses and flip-flops, along with some clothes you probably won't find anywhere else. It sounds like if you're trying to find everything from a classic skate deck to the latest RVCA gear, it's a one-stop kind of place, know what I mean?

People are always talking about their great customer service at Salty's, the staff really know their stuff and are super helpful, or so I've heard. I guess they go above and beyond to give personalized advice when you're picking out gear, which is nice. Someone named Paul gets mentioned a lot for being especially helpful and knowledgeable. Customers just love the huge selection, too – skateboards, longboards, sunglasses, apparel, all of it. The emphasis on quality is also cool, they seem to carry some high-quality products. There are a few saying they could use more size options in the clothing, tho.

A lot of people are loyal to Cato's for years, they love the colors they use and the styles and they're obsessed with their jewelry and matching accessories which is pretty cool. And, it’s seems their selection of plus-size clothing is actually on trend which is nice cause sometimes those options can be a bit limited everywhere else.

You know, the usual gameday shirts and hats, but they also have some pretty unique stuff – I saw someone mention golf polos, which I think is pretty cool. Apparently their selection is better, and cheaper, than what you get at the campus store.

People seem to really love it there; a lot of reviewers mention how the staff's super friendly and helpful, which totally makes or breaks a shopping trip, ya know?

Sometimes the layout feels a bit cramped, its not the best, but the atmosphere is generally chill, so it's a decent place to browse if you're patient.

Overall, though, they appear to prioritize making you feel comfortable and helping you find something you really love, but if you're on a budget it might not be for you.

I've heard they have a ton of really unique stuff, I'm talking beyond just the usual trendy finds, which is a big draw. It's apparently a haven for anything that's eco-friendly, which is cool, given you can't find places that promote that. Plus, people are always saying they have the best tapestries, stickers, and incense.

Honestly, it's the staff that really makes a difference from what everyone says. They're super helpful, making the whole experience way more chill and less stressful, which is rare these days. It sounds easy to find something whether it's for yourself or you're grabbing some baby tie-dye onesies as a gift, which I might consider for my cousin. As a whole, it seems like the shop is an awesome place to check out, especially if you are into band merch or have an interest in things that have a "hippy" kind of vibe.

I heard some find the selection a bit much– either too flashy or maybe too conservative, depending on your taste, and there seem to be differing opinions on plus-size options too.

I've heard Rainbow Shops in Columbia is a pretty popular spot for clothes; supposedly, they've got a huge selection. It seems they carry clothes for most sizes, which is cool, and from what I gather, the prices are pretty decent, so people go there to get new stuff for less. It's nice to know there are still affordable places to find trendy things.

Word on the street is that people dig Rainbow Shops because of the variety you can find there. Customer service gets a shout-out a lot, with reviewers saying the staff are helpful and super nice – which is always a plus. Regular sales, plus discounts are also a thing. The layaway option they offer can be super convenient too if you're on a budget. I did see some stuff about how their return policy isn't the best, and there's been issues of opening late, the location gets crowded, but for most, Rainbow Shops is a regular stop.

Marshalls down in Columbia is pretty popular, mainly 'cause of their seemingly endless options for women's clothes, shoes, and cute little accessories. Folks rave about the fact that they can find good quality stuff without totally breaking the bank, and they seem to have a knack for making the place feel welcoming and easy to shop at. It's one of those stores where you can stumble upon name brands mixed with some totally unique things that you wouldn't find anywhere else, that's why some people consider it the perfect place to go shopping.

Everyone I've spoken to seems to love the selection of home goods, gifts, apparel, and accessories; you can always find something there for yourself or a gift for others. The thrill of potentially discovering a hidden gem, a total steal, is a huge plus, too - you never know what new things you're gonna find. People also constantly mention the helpfulness of the staff, how clean the store is, and the customer service, which is obviously super important. Though, admittedly, not everyone is always thrilled; some wish they had more options for menswear since that's typically lacking. And sure, you might run into a long checkout line now and then, or maybe deal with an employee who isn't having the greatest day. Despite those minor issues, it still manages to hold its place as a shopping staple in Columbia.

Target's really convenient, I'll give them that, because it's super close by and seems to carry a little of everything for pretty much anyone. From clothes for all ages and genders to household goods, electronics, and even groceries, their selection is definitely vast and often competitively priced, and the parking lot setup is a nightmare. This makes it an easy spot to just quickly pop into in Columbia if you need anything.

What's great is how clean and organized the store usually is; it can always use some more work but hey, I don't work there. You also get this genuine helpfulness from the staff, or so I have heard, which really makes the shopping experience so much better (or at least it can). Plus, drive-up order pick-up is always a win in my book; but the app can be kinda weird sometimes. And, I appreciate when they stock eco-friendly options, even when there is a small increase in prices. Though a few have had some gripes about online ordering or pricing, you know, overall, it looks as if Target remains a fave for many around here.

People say they have a little bit of everything, from clothes and shoes to cleaning supplies, it's apparently the spot if you want to snag some name-brand stuff without completely draining your bank account.

You'll hear some grumbles about the restrooms not being in the best shape, but they found such great deals, they were willing to overlook it. A good portion of customers seem to really enjoy hunting for a good bargain, though.

Soma, located here in Columbia, is pretty well-known as the place to go for high-quality bras, and, you know, all that lovely lingerie stuff. What's nice is how they actually carry a pretty wide range of sizes and styles, which is really a win for different body types and needs. Plus, their sleepwear seems super comfy and stylish, so it's really a convenient option when you're looking for things like intimates and loungewear.

From what everyone tells me, people really like Soma because the staff is generally friendly and helpful, and that the staff usually try to make your visit better. One of the best things they seem to offer is their bra fitting service – it seems useful in helping people find the right fit, which I know is not always that simple. I hear the quality of the bras, especially, is generally really high, and customers have even raved about how clean and organized the store is. I guess that's a plus in general, though you do see the occasional review saying they didn't get greeted or felt ignored. I've also heard some grumbling about sizing being off sometimes, and, I mean, who wants to pay more if it doesn't fit perfectly? Regardless, it still seems like a popular spot because of the overall experience and quality, even if it's not perfect everywhere.

Hibbett Sports in Columbia seems to be a pretty popular choice if you're hunting for athletic wear and shoes. I've heard they carry a decent range of brands, you know, the usual suspects such as Jordan, Nike, Adidas, Puma, and New Balance, which is cool. Apparently it’s *the* place to go if you need new sports apparel and footwear but I heard they've got new designer clothing.

A lot of folks mention how helpful and friendly the staff are, which makes a big difference, doesn't it. People also seem to appreciate that the store is well-kept; I can't stand a messy store, myself. I noticed some reviews that mentioned winning raffles for new shoe releases – how awesome is that; I am definitely not that lucky. It sounds, though, that they have a rewards program which gives discounts, which could be beneficial. But a couple people had issues with finding their size or specific styles, and there were also a few comments about not-so-great customer service, or weird early closing times. Hopefully they get that sorted out!

What's cool is they have both new and gently used items, which is good if you are trying to save cash.

A lot of the reviews said the staff is friendly and helpful too which always makes shopping way more pleasant, and they are open seven days a week. Seems as though some folks ran into issues with consignment rules, but plenty seem to love the store.

Hibbett Sports in Columbia seems to be a pretty solid option if you're on the hunt for sportswear or even something casual. They carry a bunch of brands with shoes, cleats, and that kinda stuff, but it's mostly the shoe selection that seems to stand out. Plus, for those of us with, shall we say, *generous* feet, people have said that they are really good with sizes.

The staff can be hit or miss from what I've read. Many people rave about the friendly service, but others have had issues. Still, it sounds as though it's typically a good time. And, honestly, finding those special edition sneakers at a decent price is something that's hard to come by these days so maybe it's worth a visit, right? The online thing and shipping seem to work well for most, which is a definite perk, but returns can be a little fussy.
