Tender Loving Empire — Local services in Portland

Very chic and beautifully displayed store. My family of 5 were actually at the toy store up the street where they were selling a few onesizes. When I inquired about bigger sizes for my children they suggested this boutique.

Upon arriving we were not greeted with smiles, it was an eye roll and obvious frustration that we entered near closing. Quickly looking through shirts for my 2 year old to wear to dinner since his current shirt was off and drenched in yogurt, about 30 seconds into looking through the t shirt designs we are told again that their store is closing and she's closing the register.

With a shirt in hand I was so turned off by the experience. In high school and while attending college I worked in retail and although I often disliked staying an hour past my shift because we still had customers we would service the customer. I put the t shirt back and said "fine I won't buy this shirt then" and her response was "well you can come back tomorrow and buy it."

Why would I come back when it could have taken 30 seconds to complete the transaction? We were there before the store was closed therefore our customer service should be no less than the first customer of the day especially for.being in the Pearl District.

I am extremely disappointed and hope others have...

I was in visiting from Vancouver, Canada and I stumbled upon this store! The person who helped me in the store (whose name I have forgotten but was wearing a great black and white patterned jumpsuit) taught me so much about the area and gave me so many recommendations and information on the earrings and cards that I bought! They were even willing to look up a bank for me so I could run and grab some cash! Overall an amazing experience and it will be a pit stop on every trip to Portland from here on out! Thank...

Literally just left the store. No one bothered to greet me & my family nor say anything to us when we left. However, I noticed they readily greeted everyone who came in after us (yes, they were white.) The atmosphere was a bit to “extreme” for and exaggerated to me. You can tell this store definitely caters to a specific group of people & The items in the store were way over priced. There is a location at Bridgeport that I find way more comfortable and pleasing to visit. I won’t ever waste my time at...
