Where to shop in Clovis NM?

Some of the military wives have approached me with the deer in the headlights look saying, “where do you shop?”  Well, it may look bad out here, but it really is not.  We use the internet a lot and Lubbock is only an hour and a half away and we do have Dillards.  But, with careful planning you too can survive Clovis, NM and you may even like it.

In Lubbock my favorite stores to shop are Sams Club, Target, American Eagle, Hollister,Chick-Fil-A, Gymboree, GAP, Old Navy and Dillards.  I also have migraines so I get botox, yes botox and it does a wonder for my frown lines!  I like getting it from Dr. Jane Rowley in Lubbock.  She is a plastic surgeon there and her dad also does botox in the same office.  His name is Dr. Milton Rowley.  Sometimes, I can call in the morning and get an appointment in the afternoon!  Just remember they are an hour ahead of us!  So make sure what time your appointment is for, Texas time or New Mexico.   Women’s Medical offers botox in Clovis also, but they only offer it on certain Saturdays of the month.  Favorite Place to stay in Lubbock is Embassy Suites outside the Loop and Slide and my favorite restaurants include: Outback Steak House 4015 S. Loop 289, Abuelo’s Mexican food 82nd & Quaker , Johnny Carino’s Italian food 6821 Slide, Chik-Fil-A is on 69th and Slide and in the mall.  The service at the Chick-Fil-A on Slide is phenomenal!  The drive thru wraps all the way around the whole store but you still get your food quicker than any drive-thru I have ever seen!  There is a Chinese restaurant, but I cannot remember the name of it…it is on Slide by the mall.  Bless Your Heart is across the street from the hospital on 19th and serves really low-fat food.

In Clovis, we have North Plains Mall.  In that mall is Dillards, JC Penneys, Sears, Bealls, The Buckle, Bath & Body, Zales Jewelry, Gordons Jewelry, Hibbet Sports, GNC, Foot Locker, CN Express, Cell Needs, It’s a Girl Thing,Pac Sun, Maurices, Optical Source, Plateau Wireless, Radio Shack, & Regis Salon.

My favorite places to eat in Clovis are  Shogun on Pile which is a Japanese Steakhouse and they cook on a grill Japanese-style in front of you.  Leal’s on Prince is a Mexican food restaurant.  AppleBees is on Llano Estacado, Chiles is on Prince, Rib Crib is also on North Prince by Super Walmart, IHOP, Red Lobster, & Cotton Patch Cafe are all popular chains too.

Our Grocery stores are  Super Walmart, Albertsons, S & S, Lowes Grocery, and a mom and pop grocery store called Stancells that will even deliver on certain days of the week!  An old fashioned meat market is included in their store and they butcher all their meat on site.  Plus, they cook rotisserie chicken, sliced brisket, beans, and have potato salad, cole slaw, and macaroni salad.  Their brisket is one of the things I always go to when I am short on time and a friend is in need of a meal.  We also have Wholey Cow Deli which sells free range chickens, deli meat, soups and sandwiches and is downtown on Pile.

A couple of my favorite quick meals in Clovis is at Bills Jumbo Burger on Main Street in the form of a breakfast burrito.  It has eggs, onions, sausage or bacon and green chile…mmmm My mouth is watering just thinking about it.  Another thing our new friends from Florida haven’t heard of is a Hailey’s Special and we get it from Der Weinersnitzel on Main Street.  It simply is french fries on a bun drizzled with chili and cheese.  No one else can make it like the Der!

So, get used to the low traffic, the friendly smiles, the trips to Lubbock, the internet, and get to know your UPS representative – Hi Jatonna! – the family friendly atmosphere and you probably won’t mind it nearly so much.  I don’t, but I am still lobbying for a Pottery Barn, Sam’s Club, and a Target <grin>.
