PLEASE update your Google listing to show the correct hours! I buy shoes once a year. Last year I made a special trip to buy shoes after 8pm because the Google maps and Google search results showed the store was open until 9pm. The actual store closes at 8pm. Tonight I did the exact same thing because the Google listing is *still* wrong a year later! Please correct this!

first time shopping here, just wanted to get some comfy shoes for work. the girl in the beginning was very nice, she showed me a few brands to look out for that had cute but cushion-y shoes for work. however, when i was checking out, another cashier named aliyah (?) was pretty rude. when she asked if i wanted to sign up for rewards, i said "no, that's okay", and she immediately rolled her eyes at me and mouthed "okay...". i was not mean to her, yet she had an attitude the whole time. i said thank you after we were done, and she didn't respond. i find it very unprofessional. other than that, my experience was good.

On July 23 my husband and I visited the DSW store in Peoria. The sales gal Sydni was wonderful. I explained to her my needs and she assisted me with shoe choices. She brought me many brands that would fill my required need. She listened carefully to what I had to say and made adjustments to the selection. She also carried the shoes to me to try on and I didn’t have to leave my spot and follow her. After I made my shoe choices, I asked her questions regarding sock footsie. Again, she knew the inventory and was very helpful with me making my selections.
I later looked for my husband and he was with another female salesperson, Chris, and while I was telling my husband about Sydni, he was telling me how helpful Chris was to him. Chris was a supervisor.
I informed both Sydni and Chris how much we appreciated their service and promised I would write their manager to let him/her know what a great experience we both had.
