Today, I was assisted by Joan in the Evanston IL store. She went above and beyond to assist me exchange a broken pair of Goodr sunglasses. She made extra efforts to ensure that the return and exchange was possible. On top of that, she took extra measures to assist me finding the perfect replacement pair of sunglasses…..and all while being pleasant and authentically wanting to problem solve for me.

If there was a University of Customer Service, Rock Creek North Shore would certainly have a building in that complex. Head of School would be professors Jim, Marissa & Paige, who each hold PhDs in customer service, in my opinion. As customers enter the front door, they are greeted kindly and shown or directed to their area of interest. Such a pleasant experience from professionals who know their extensive product line and can answer most pertinent questions.

Many retail businesses would benefit from their skills since customer service today is mostly mentioned in history books. They have hit upon a winning formula which remains a cornerstone of Rock Creek's success. Keep the spirit. Regards, Jim T.

It feels pretty good, I like it a lot, but I don't know why I'm always saying there's a problem with my payment method. I use paypal. Although my paypal email and account email are not the same, it shouldn't affect my payment. I don't understand

I recently bought a new pair of shoes at Rock Creek North Shore. I don't buy new shoes often, or lightly. Grant was very helpful, informative, and knowledgeable regarding all the different aspects to choosing the correct shoes for my feet. He was patient, listened to me, very polite, and super-friendly! I will shop here again because he made my experience great!
