Kudos to Cato for savings and service! Cato has great prices on hundreds of clearance selections and an extraordinary sales people who make you really enjoy your shopping experience. Right now, Cato has racks and racks of fall and winter apparel, ranging from camis for bright pops of color to chunky marled sweaters and glittering sequined tops. Whether you are looking for career, campus, casual or cocktail wear, Cato is almost sure to have it on sale.

On Friday afternoon, I shopped at Cato on Two Notch Road using a gift card that my husband had given me for Christmas. I was immediately greeted by a young woman who introduced herself and asked if she could help in any way. When I found lace-trimmed camis marked down for clearance, she helped me find the right size in several of my favorite colors. She showed me how she was wearing one of the camis with a button-front blouse and how another has been used on a mannequin beneath a scoop-neck sweater.

When I had chosen three camis, I went toward checkout where I was greeted by another member of Cato’s sales staff with a big smile and a, ‘Happy New Year.’ She remembered me having shopped at Cato for my daughter before Christmas, and treated me like a friend rather than a customer. I left feeling very pleased, not only by my three dollar-stretching camis, but because I had honestly enjoyed shopping at Cato.
