Circle S Western Emporium

I was passing through town on my way to EP from Cali and we noticed this western wear store. They have some super cute outfits. They carry brand name clothing like; Miss Me, Justin, Rock & Roll cowgirl and many others. They also offer a selection of of items to decorate in your home. What I particularly enjoyed was the wonderful customer service. The two ladies offered outfit suggestions and were quite helpful. They were extremely personable and made my shopping experience pleasant. I walked away super happy.

Day nine of our road trip to San Diego, stop 2.As the cross country drive continues, so does the hunt for some hot boots and a Stetson shirt for Sarah. We've pulled over a few times and headed into massive western wear emporiums, and have purchased just one shirt so far.We've looked at hundreds of boots, and haven't even tried a pair on yet.Sarah's been on this search for the perfect boot since we were in Italy in October and it hasn't yet produced itself to her.This, our latest Emporium, was the most disappointing yet. Probably not due to the store's inadequacies, but to our own expectations being not diminished by our trials, but heightened by them. Don't you ever get MORE determined with every unsuccessful store visited? We're at the point now where because we've sorted so many stores out, we've just GOT to be getting closer to the right moment.Circle S has the cutest storefront, complete with a large cow behind a small stockade. The signs you pass while entering offer dry cleaning services, tailoring... so we thought we'd found a classier version of the highway emporium. Not so.We walked quickly in and out, as their selection of ladies boots was barely a dozen. And there were more disorganized sale racks than otherwise so we didn't even need to try and find the Stetson.Perhaps a perfect local shop, it wasn't suited to our search. We need more. More selection, more opportunity.Tip: get a picture of the cow.

Mostly my experience here is limited to dropping off dry cleaning. They specialize in western wear, including blazers and coats, dresses, shirts, slacks and jeans, belts, boots and hats. There is also some jewelry and accessories including some pretty bolo ties I've found here. On one occasion I was required to dress "cowboy formal" and was at a loss. I walked in and asked for help. The attention I got was friendly and helpful and the clothes have been good and durable quality, so my impression is quite positive.
