Style Encore Guelph

smallish store (smaller than other locs except maybe Burlington) with average selection, mostly average brands like gap, reitmanns, ann taylor/loft (I think), banana republic, jcrew, rw&co (I think). average selection of handbags. athleticwear was just a bit sparse. cozy interior and a very nice saleslady though :) would definitely check it out every week if I were local.

I found the store kind of small, and they didn't have too many interesting pieces. Maybe just the day/time I went in. Nice staff, and pretty clean.

I've brought in items a few times and overall they are very picky, which I can totally appreciate as when I shop I want "picky". But sometimes its just over the top. I went in last week with about 8 items. I was very choosey in what I took knowing they are picky. THey didn't accept one thing. I took my items in on hangers in a garment bag...big no no. I got told very curtly that in future to not bring them on hangers. Ok....but seriously don't have to be rude and have it be the very first thing you say to me. Maybe a nice welcoming and appreciate first and then the scolding. A few of my things had been worn once, just purchases that once I got home and wore realized they weren't for me. A couple were casual sweatshirt material but dressier sweaters purchased from Nordstrom and worn once. I was told a specific brand they won't accept and no black dresses (I didn't have a black dress in my things). While browsing the store while I waited I found nothing of interest. In fact I really thought their quality of offerings was dismal. Other people coming in when asked how long it would be were also responded to in a very curt manner "its first come first serve". This business relies on their customers to also be their suppliers and this one for sure won't be back either as a purchaser or a seller. I would rather donate my items then be treated the way I was today.
