Marshalls

This Marshall’s was very clean. There were not clothes laying on the floor, so the staff must really be on top of their game to keep the place looking spiffy. Of the several times I have been here and needed to try on clothing, there has always been an attendant. There is always a staff member standing at the door to greet you as you enter and to say goodbye when you leave. While I don’t mind if I am greeted or not when entering a store, I guess it is a good way to cut down on shoplifting.
In the ladies department, there is a long rack devoted just to leggings! I mean, I would have expected a rack for pants, but this is an entirely separate rack of just leggings. Crazy.
Now that Christmas is over, the home goods section is looking a little bare since all the seasonal merchandise has been removed and all the inexpensive cookware/​barware has been picked over. Hopefully they will restock soon.

It’s kind of feast or famine with Marshall’s. Some days you’re lucky and find some real gems. Some days you don’t find anything. You either leave feeling fantastic or bummed out, but that’s kind of part of the fun.
Honestly, I lack the determination to go through all of the clothes racks to find something I like, so I don’t come here for the clothes. I do come here for purses, luggage, home decorations, pillows, bedding, candles, serving dishes and kitchen gear, which is always at least half price off or more.
This store is relatively new, so it’s pretty nice inside. I also like that it’s in a big shopping area so you can hit several places at once without really having to get into your car.

So, I go to this place to look at their food, oddly enough. There’s one small isle in the very back that is dedicated to gourmet foods — organic coconut sugar, fancy jellies and gourmet chocolate. Being the foodie that I am, I can’t help myself! I’m sure they have great deals on clothes and shoes, but I’m just here to tell you about this awesome food isle! Enjoy!

I went to marshalls with a friend for the first about a year ago and it was heaven. I got a bunch of shirts for ten dollars because I guess we got lucky and came when there was a sale or after further price cuts because the tags had multiple stickers on top of each other suggesting the price had been cut a few times.
Anyways, I have been dying to go to marshalls again. I finally went to this location because it is way closer to where I live and it was a pretty good experience. I was primarily looking to see if they had cute clothes in for my plus size body. I walked in a saw lot’s of perfumes that I was interested in and tons of purses were cute and affordable like some from nine west, s madden, bebe, and j couture. Unfortunely I wasn’t willing to splurge because I was thinking I would spend a bit on clothes like my first visit to marshall’s.
I saw in the beauty section a 450 degree flat iron and blow dryer for very cheap prices. I was shocked and wasn’t expecting to buy those things but I did and that’s basically what made this a great trip because I needed those two things badly.
I went to women’s section section and there really wasn’t much for anyone over a size ¹⁴⁄₁₆. I am a size 20 and I saw maybe 7 shirts and 10 pants behind those size 20 tags and not all of those clothes were actually a size 20 (some people don’t like to put things back where they belong, I guess they think it’s not their job *rolls eyes*). I wasn’t too bummed out about the lack of clothes because I was still on that shoppers «high» after finding a great deal on my hair dryer and iron. I really on saw one shirt that was interesting to me (I am a little younger and the rest of the shirts look my suitable for an office worker). The shirt was ok but I felt like I didn’t really need it so I put it back. Also all of the pants were black and some were just yoga wear.
They had lot’s of interesting home stuff and nice size men’s and childrens section. They had yoga mats, some weights, and cool water bottles.
I know this might be a little weird but I loved the women’s bathroom. It wasn’t too small and it was clean. That’s always a plus in my book because a dirty bathroom will make me not want to shop at a place of business.
The trip wasn’t a total waste because I got two things I needed and it was a pretty pleasant experience. The women who checked me out was very friendly.
Looking back at it now though, this marshall’s didn’t seem to be as big as the first marshall’s I went to and the other marshalls had more plus sizes clothing.

I have been shopping here a lot lately… at least once a week… They typically have some nice selection. They would have gotten a four star but today when I was there it was like they all just came out of a meeting and got ordered to get in the shoppers face more with did you find everything today, can I help you, yadda yadda. I like peace when I am shopping and like to be left alone… I am browsing and do not need to be approached by several people while trying to enjoy my day off. Unless you are genuine and want to just chat. I was going to buy three items but I got approached one too many times by no less than 5 sales people during my trip down the aisle. So I only purchased the one thing that I would be hard pressed to find again somewhere else. Yes I will still shop there but I think I will wear ear muffs next time perhaps they will take the hint…

Levi’s 501, faded and fit well: that’s my big score from a trip to Marshalls. With the jeans over one shoulder, I still had hands to pick up things for the house: stainless steel cups, measuring spoons, pyrex pitcher, wine glasses, and bar towels. This was almost as good as celebrating a birthday or having a vacation. On my day off, I’m going to put on my classic Levi’s, listen to classic rock, and dream that I’m driving a classic Camaro.

Wow, this is the best Marshalls I have ever shopped. It was clean, well organized and had stuff I actually wanted to buy. The other day I went shopping at The Rack, looking for a short sleeved linen shirt and had no luck. I found it here and for only $ 20. What a deal. I hope they can keep it up. If they can, I will be a repeat offender. I mean, I will be a repeat shopper.
I only shopped the Men’s Dept., but the shoe selection looked huge as did the home area.
Deer Creek Plaza has been totally redone, I’m looking forward to shopping the other new stores as they open.

Marshall’s just opened a new store at Deer Creek Plaza in Maplewood. They’ve redone the entire strip mall with more shops to open. At this point, the store is clean and nice. They have men’s, women’s, children, plus size clothes, as well as, purses, toiletries, gifts, gadgets, and housewares. My favorite is the housewares dept.
