Banana Republic Factory Store

Located in the Block of Orange, Banana Republic Factory Store has everything I want:
–Men’s and women’s clothing at Banana quality and affordable prices (e.g., The men’s polo was originally $ 36.99 but on sale for $ 12.99 for solids and $ 16.99 for striped. With my text coupon that I immediately got while in store, I saved another 10%, so the total came out to be less than $ 11 per shirt!)
–Free wifi in store as long as you provide your email. Easy enough.
–A/​C is on full blast but not super cold. Great during the summer heat.
Overall, I am pleased and will be coming back soon. No more mall for me!

Their men’s chinos are absolute garbage. They fall apart at the seams all the time. At least their return policy is good. They offer to take them back and give me a new pair. Have to come in more often than I’d like to get my pants replaced.

I typically love Banana Republic, but for some reason, this store does not seem to have as wide of a selection or sizes as the other stores do.
There is a women’s and men’s section with clothes, a tiny jewelry stand, and located at the front by the cash registers are where the perfumes, colognes, maybe like 2 sandals lol… and bags.
There seems to be maybe 3 people working each time I have stopped in, which is fine because it is not a big store.
I like the fact there is no limit as to how many items you can take with you into the dressing room to try on.
The service here is always great. They are welcoming and very helpful.
There are ALWAYS coupons of some kind available and seems to always be a great sale (up to 70% off).
I gave 2 stars for the service and 1 for the selection, which is my actual only complaint.

Very helpful staff and great prices! There was jacket on sale with an additional 50% off. Unfortunately, this store didn’t have it. One of the employees checked the inventory and determined there was one at another BR. But it was too far away. The employee walked me through how to order it from that store! Thanks BR!

I literally buy ALL my business clothes and the majority of my casual wardrobe from Banana Republic and have been doing so for over 25 years.
They offer excellent quality, pricing, and a wide variety of styles.
I just went to the BR outlet in Orange and the selection is not as great this time around and the discounts were not as steep as I have seen in the past, which is fine since you still receive great quality garments.
Since when did they get so cheap? Everytime I purchase a suit, I get it on a hanger in a garment bag. This time I purchased a business dress and when I asked for a hanger, the Asian girl at the cash register claims that they are not allowed to give me one unless I buy a suit. Really? That seems a bit ridiculous since it’s a plastic hanger.
I truly prefer not to have my business dresses folded twice then thrown into a super small plastic bag. It makes me feel like they don’t care about their garments, nor the customer, and I feel like I just bought the dress from a Walmart.
If this is truly their new level of customer service, I might have to find a new store to give all my business. I will also be sure to tell all my friends and family.

Located in The Outlets at Orange.
I prefer to shop at Banana Republic for business casual clothes that are perfect for any office setting. They offer a variety of essential styles, colors and sizes for anyone. Personally, I like that they offer a ‘Petites’ section, with smaller pants size such as 00. I used to pay extra to get my pants altered elsewhere, so it’s nice to find pants that fit me as is.
My favorite pair of pants from Banana Republic are usually $ 89.50 but my wallet just can’t, you understand right? So, I love that factory stores have daily sales of 40−60% off of almost everything. It is still not the cheapest of clothes but in my opinion, better quality than what you may find at other retail stores.
The employees here were so welcoming and friendly. When I did not see my size out on the floor, an employee offered to check if they had it in stock in the back room. The checkout line moved fairly quick as well, so can’t complain there.
*Don’t forget to show the cashier your student ID for 10% off!

This review is more for the quality of clothing? Quite excited to buy jeans as it’s been over a decade and some change. Came here because I’ve own a current pair and they fit wonderfully and thought I come and check it out. Bought a pair a week ago and wash and not to happy with the result I’ve notice on the bottom pant leg. Which make me rethink the 2 pairs I bought last night .
Service in the location great… Just makes me think even with the sale was it worth it.

AMAZING deals is what you are sure to find in this store. They always have amazing discounts and a lot of options. They have a great selection of trousers, dresses, denim, blouses, accessories and even shoes. Be sure to check out their clearance racks as they always have great items that are super inexpensive. Also when checking out do present your AAA card as you will get an additional 10% discount.

What is this??? A BR Factory Outlet Store. Did the angels from heaven open up and sing???
My boyfriend LOVES BR but the clothing is rather expensive in my opinion. I grabbed my friend and we headed in to just «look around». The deals were so good that I started grabbing clothes left and right. Most factory stores don’t really have good deals and only have a few pieces that are really on sale. Not here, it was deals galore!!!
The store was organized nice and neat and the sales associates were super friendly. I believe that Natalie helped me out on the sales floor while I was looking around. I ended up with 9 t-​shirts, 4 polo shirts, 4 long sleeve casual shirts, 2 dress shirts, 2 sweaters, 1 hoodie, 4 jeans, 3 boxers and a bottle of cologne for $ 560.00. i got an extra 15% off for opening a BR credit card which is also a Visa card so I can use it anywhere. Deal of the century!!! I was so pleased with all my purchases and I know my boyfriend will be to when he comes home from overseas.
Efran was great during the checkout and credit card application process. He was so friendly and packed up my clothes so nice and neat. I just can’t say enough good things about this store. I will be back soon!!!

Some of the merchandise was not the best quality compared to what South Coast has to offer. Yes, i know it’s a factory store but really?
Certain areas of the store was just a chaotic mess. They really need to store cleaning up.
Staff: rude and inefficient. I’ve waited patiently at checkout. Someone nearby was helping a customer and when they reached the checkout, they let the other people checkout before me while I was completely ignored. Idiots. You could have told the other people to wait their turn.

I really like this store! They’ve definitely improved it since the last time I went too. The men’s clothing has much more to choose from, the prices are a lot better than at a regular store (those stores are too expensive for me) and the employees were friendly and asked if I was finding everything ok. I bought a nice pair of shorts and I’m thinking of going back and buying some more stuff.
I really like the music they play as well.

I love the sales that the always have!

Not great. The fabric was not normal quality.

Great place to look stylin. Only problem is everything is so damn expensive. I ball hard y’all but I ain’t Bill Gates yet. Can’t be ballin like this yet. Give me a couple of more years and I’ll be a regular at this joint. Maybe…

Glad there’s a closer BR outlet than the Cabazon or Carlsbad outlets!!!
I came Black Friday, Thursday night and the clearance rack was pretty good. People Unilocaling that the clearance rack isn’t very good, but I didn’t experience that. Maybe because of Black Friday, but whatevs… Don’t have to drive crazy far for a BR factory outlet anymore!!! Gotta love that :-)

I find that clothes at BR Outlets/​Factory Stores are mostly made up of much lower quality merchandise that’s created specifically only for the outlet store (and not found in Regular Banana Republic stores).
The outlet does indeed have a few pieces from the main mall stores, but a vast majority of the things inside the outlet stores isn’t the same stuff you find at your local mall-​based Banana Republic.
If you really want to find a good deal @ BR Outlets, you really have to do some digging to find something good… a lot of times their stuff is mixed up all over the place; it just depends on the location.
One quick way to tell whether that shirt you love is an «outlet» item, is to look at the label.
If there are three dots beneath the words «Banana Republic» then it’s an item created specifically for the outlet.
Also if the letters are bronze or tan/​brown and/​or the tag itself feels a cheap, then most likely it’s an outlet only piece. =)
Service at this location can really vary depending on who’s working/​who you get to help /​check you out at the register. =(-1
The selection at this location isn’t as big /​much as the other locations (i.e. Cabazon /​Camarillo Outlets). –1

The BR Factory Store is a far different experience than the regular store at South Coast Plaza. They have virtually the same clothes, but the service at this BR is not the same. I feel welcome at SCP, where I feel… nothing here. It’s just cold from the lack of service.
I like BR and their clothes. The store is pretty clean and orderly. I just wanted more from this BR factory store. Even though this store is closer to my home, I’m willing to make the effort to drive across town to SCP.

I’ve been to unfriendly, unhelpful Banana Republic stores before and I thought that their standard retail location in SaMo (3^rd Street Promenade) took the cake. This one may have bested it.
Upon entering, I walked by two SAs and not one bothered to acknowledge me. I walked by a female SA (who appeared to be a manager, but I have could been mistaken) and she didn’t address me until I made sure to lock eyes and I said, «Good morning.» Enough about feeling neglected…
This «factory store» is fairly small for an outlet and is smaller than some standard retail locations. It also has a very poor selection of men’s clothing. Even scarcer are further reduced «clearance» items which predominately included sizes from opposite polar ends of the size scale.
Furthermore, as for naming this location a «factory store», it may have been done to attract bargain shoppers… BUT Banana Republic retail stores regularly have sales that rival prices found at this so called outlet.
I did not discover anything worth buying here, especially when current season items are available at similar sale prices in their standard retail stream.
Hoping to give the guy working by the entrance/​exit a final chance to recognize my existence, not even a single word was muttered as I exited.
Don’t bother with this store, Unilocalers… if you want to go to a nice Banana Republic Factory Store, visit the location in Camarillo.

I was very surprised to have a BR outlet here in the middle of outlets at Orange.
Overall, I think that this is a nice outlet store, but its kind of small compared to the huge outlet stores located in Ontario and Cabazon.
The selection is average and the prices are soso.
While they did have a nice clearance rack when I was there, all the good stuff was gone. I think many people in the LA and OC area now think that since there is a Banana Republic outlet in the heart of OC, then there is no need to visit the regular stores.
I do think that this is a nice store, but I just wish they had more wool jackets, slacks and dressy items.
One of the staff members even said it can get chaotic, since everyone is looking for a good deal in this recession. It is worth checking out if you visit the Outlets at Orange, but be prepared to come early when they have special sales. The good stuff goes fast, sometimes too fast.
In fact, I ended up leaving without any purchase, the good stuff in my size was already gone :(

The grand opening here was yesterday and the store looks clean and tidy. Prices here are standard, even with a discount it still is not a killer deal, especially with outlets going towards merchandise that is made only for outlets (read lower quality).
No clearance section at all, and a medium sized store. Absolutely average.
To maximize discounts, like their Facebook page to find some internet discounts that can applied over top of store discounts. Otherwise try the commerce location for a better clearance section.
