This store is da bomb! I'm such a typical guy and finicky shopper, I never find anything I really like...until I wandered into Ian in Fremont. Unbelievale! This store had many unique brands I never heard of before. (One brand had cool clothes tags that plant trees if you bury them. Now, that's special. I'm super into Eco-Friendly products.) I was greated with all smiles by all three staff members. The female clerk was totally on it and showed me all the male clothes that she thought might suit me well. She nailed my style exactly. I ended up purchasing a whole outfit of her suggestions. My girlfriend found some rad stuff for herself, too. The manager (I think it was Ian himself) rang me up. We all chatted for a bit about the neighborhood and how it's changing a bit (for the better, I think). I just read a review by some asians of this store that I can't believe is right. They eluded that this Ian staff was dismissive to them since they were asian or something. Well, I'm half vietnamese and my girlfriend is full and we both got the super-royal treatment at this store. Double-Shocker-High-Fives all around!!! I will mos-def shop there again. Booyah Shakah!
