Marshalls

LOVE Marshalls. Its probably one of my favorite places! They usually have a great variety of things from houseware, clothing, purses, shoes etc. The staff is great they are very friendly and i’ve never had an issue with feeling like their customer service was lacking. I do however wish they carried more duvet covers. Every time i go i check the sheets section in hopes of finding one and i have yet to find one. Its also pretty big and kept very organized. No messiness here which makes shopping so much more fun!

This store is much bigger than it looks on the outside. It has 2 floors and you can access it from the office building of 500 Boylston street.
The 1^st floor has shoes, men’s clothing and the cash registers, upstairs is women, children and home and NO cash registers. They have a nice selection of everything but morning or late afternoon is the best time to go. During lunch everyone in the Back Bay area stops in to check on the new merchandise.
One con I would say is there wasn’t enough help/​assistance from employers during this crazy time of year with the holidays. Every time I finally did find a person they couldn’t assist for one reason or another. I know it’s a really busy time but I’ve gone during non holiday seasons and had the same experience. Once at the register the employees are nice, friendly and helpful.
Also, if you don’t want to go back outside you can get to Panera Bread by walking out the back door and down the hall, bonus after you’re finished shopping!

Popped in this weekend to check out the shoe department and it was really disorganized. Shoes were placed in the wrong sections, it was very difficult to find the proper shoe to match the ones on display, and the name labels in the shoe section did not match the shoes on the shelves. It was really odd. I can only assume that this is due to a combo of the store not maintaining the area as it should and customers being lazy and not putting shoes back in the proper place after trying them on.
The home décor section is pretty good and I was able to pick up a few sweaters upstairs.

This was a so so shopping experience. I initially went in to find a sports bra, I forgot to pack one. Surprisingly their selection was small. Most of the items in the store looked like low end returns. They also had their Christmas decorations out — a bit tacky in October.
They did have a great selection of umbrellas at very low prices. Otherwise, this is not my kind of shopping.

The boys shoe selection is two rows and mostly consists of infant shoes. If you have a girl, come here. Boys pajamas were lacking but I happily found some footed pj’s in a size 6!
Then there were robot two pieces. There were two pants and one long sleeved shirt. I could find a tag. Looked at every size in the same set. No tags. Weird. So I’m looking through the rack and find a robot short sleeved tshirt paired with a mismatched pair of pants. Look at the tag and sure enough it says 4 piece. Lol. They must not have much training or quality control. Great deal on the 4 piece pajamas though.
When I was here before I found a bunch of nice womens suits. Didn’t look today. I would go back again.

I work down the street from here and I have to agree, this Marshall’s is way better than the one at Downtown crossing. Its clean, it has updated clothing, the home department is on point.

The best thing about this Marshalls is the shoe department. I looked at a LOT of clothes, and they all seemed pretty crappy. Not much cotton in sight, almost EVERYTHING seemed to be made of rayon. Blech. Had a much more pleasant trip to the H&M across the street — too lazy to try anything on there but at least you could buy plenty of cotton clothing.

I like this Marshall’s. Much agreed that this location is better than the Downtown Crossing location. It’s not as dirty and messed up or disorganized.
I come here mainly for workout clothes. I can find what I need rather quickly and get my shopping done in a snap. It’s convenient that it’s nicely located in Copley Square. The kitchen department is nice too. Random eclectic mix of wares for the person in need of random gadgets, funky mugs and the like. Candle selection is quite nice too.
This location always seems busy, no matter what time of day it is. In addition to kitchen wares and workout clothes, they have cute tops and shoes too. And other random things like fuzzy socks with cat faces on them (guilty) and pet foods and pet toys.
Seriously…something for everyone!

Now this is not my typical store to go to for aimless shopping. Actually, I do not even do aimless shopping. Even when I am bored to death — which, if I think about it, I never am. So how does Marshalls come in the picture? Simple. Varied set of circumstances and situations — and that list is not too big — bring me to this store, every once in a while. And they have their own set of benefits and perks
Active wear
I go through my work out clothes rather quickly. And those are some of the things that I am always on the lookout for. Sometimes to the point of stocking them well in advance. I see this store has some reasonable choices and varieties. There have been occassions where I have been lucky and bought some good shorts and clima-​cool Ts. Same goes with workout socks. Not so much for the sneakers or spinning shoes and such.
Window Shopping
Point above aside, I am always sure of things I want and where to get them, I don’t see this store as my target for those definitive needs. But I do like this particular section where we get introduced to things that are rare to find anywhere else. Having said that — I have seen that not all Marshalls have this section where you can get these ethnic sauces, scented candles, international snacks, that you rarely find at grocery stores or other places. This one in Downtown Boston is a great example.
People Watching
Given how busy this store is — almost always, it is fun to do all the people watching. You bump into people from all walks of life. And given the design of the store and the sections spread between the 2 floors is quite on point, it really works. There are days when you are in the mood to watch some free drama and then there are those days, you just want to do plain ol people watch.
Location
The fact this store is on Boylston St. has it’s own share of positives. It is accessible by the T. Neat option for locals, people who work in downtown and Copley and tourists alike. the staff at the checkout counter is super fast — as the rest of us Bostonians, and we really like it that way. That the store is always well kept, never in a messy state, I never regret stopping here for any of my planned or unplanned shopping needs.

One of the biggest Marshalls I have been to but very limited inventory. They do not carry many high end items, and the shop is bit disorganized. The shoe sections are quite large.

i don’t know wants happened to marshals use to have good merchandise in a great prices and now they start changing prices lamppost like any other department store
i use to love going to marshal and still do love going to marshal but they should keep the prices down as they use to do that was what making the better the other

Magasin proposant vêtements homme femme et enfant et ayant un rayon maison (couette, rideaux, ustensiles de cuisine, vaisselle), cosmétique et quelques jouets pour enfant. Tout ça a un prix résonnable. Très pratique quand on s’installe.

Cheaper than a regular department store. Though it’s not the best Marshall’s I’ve been to. Very messy store layout. It kinda just seems like they put whatever wherever. The clearance rack is always good to check out.

solutely terrible service when you can find it. I had just bought some soup and wanted to get some t shirt and shirt and other items and was told they cannot hold the food and that I should put it in one of their syrupy unclean cart basket. I would highly recommend going to another store. This is the absolute worst Marshall and the City of Boston.

Ok selection: lately it’s been looking pretty sparse. Usually packed with shoppers on the weekends and gets busy after 5 pm on the weekday too. It’s pretty clean and organized… Good size building too. I can Usually can find something good.

Great location for a Marshalls! Can always stop by here to get something quick if you needed something right away. Ive picked up gym clothes before because I forgot a top. Good assortment of items — luggage, candles, rugs, toys, clothes, heels, sandals, etc.

Great suit deals for men but very limited inventory. On my visits I’m always amazed at just how little they provide for male shoppers.
Take socks for instance. They only provide a half dozen brands. My favorite is Gold Toe. All Gold Toe makes is socks, so their socks are the best. They last the longest and they’re usually the cheapest.
But this Marshalls does NOT carry Gold Toe.
Lame sauce…

Thank goodness for Marshalls…
And oasis of bargains in pricey Back Bay!
You can find a wide variety of clothing here,
Along with a large selection of housewares,
Toys and imported specialty foods.
The deal: this is my go to store for
stocking stuffers, Easter baskets and gift bags!

I’ve been coming to this Marshall’s for awhile now. The price is very reasonable with many selections. Sometimes you experience better than others depending on when merchandise come in.
Staff here are generally friendly and willing to help.
Payment processing is usually pretty quick. Sometimes if it’s out of the number system because a cashier or customer isn’t quite done yet it seem weird because the other person gets a little upset. Seems like an assembly line sometimes.
Otherwise I like coming here. Also always find something I want to buy.

Girl, where’d you find those shoes? Love ‘em! Marshalls you say? No way!
This is the place. My place to get them party shoes. I can always find a nice pair of heels, boots, whatever you put on your feet here and never look back. This is the place to get reasonably priced and stylish kicks.
And what better way to think whether or not you want to make that buy. The home section is like my second home. Everything I want at my finger tips. If only I could but the whole section.

Great shoe selection with not too bad prices too.
Currently there’s tons of red sox stuff on sale too!
