Marshalls

Other Marshalls’ do not compare to this one. They always have such a fantastic selection of «designer» (Free People, Joie, Hudson, Vince, Young Fabulous & Broke, ect…) and everything seems less picked through than at other stores, meaning that my relatively popular size is still available. Although sometimes the line itself seems long, the store is never too crowded and you don’t feel like you’re bumping elbows with other shoppers.
They also have a rack of designer shoes; Gucci, D&G, Frye, ect.
I’ve also found some incredible steals on the sales rack if you’re willing to spend some time picking through those.
Easy parking, easy location with other shopping (uh, TJ MAXX, Home Goods!) right in the same vicinity.

I find this to be one of the few Marshalls’ where it’s easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. Sure, like any Marshalls, you eventually need to get to know the «lay of the land» and I certainly have. I’ve been coming here since probably 2001. Why? It’s a run-​down location for sure, but I feel they have some of the best brands and clearance items of all the Marshalls’ I visit.
Let’s face it, Newton doesn’t get the cheapest stuff. They want the high-​end stuff!
My go-​to Marshalls for sure.

Across from the Best TJ Maxx in the world, lies this amazing, hidden find of a Marshalls. Even though TJ and Marshalls are like brothers, they both wound up on Needham Street, across the street from each other… how interesting.
This Marshalls is for the older-​crowd, as well as anyone who wants the more relaxing, calm experience. While TJ Maxx across the street is busier, more «in-​a-​rush», and just not soothing and non-​crowded like this store. Plus, finding parking at TJ’s can be problematic at certain times, while here it will never be (and never is) a problem. The selection is larger and the inventory isn’t constantly being re-​newed due to SO many people buying things (yes, I’m discussing TJ’s). Speaking of the selection, they have a large home section, pet section, a great shoe section (where finding different sizes are not a problem, and all of the shoes are not picked over), a great men’s section, and an average kids section. My best find here was socks. They had many packs of very comfortable 3-​pk socks for only $ 1.99, great deals. Checkout was quick, friendly, and not chaotic.
Definitely ideal for a calm shopping trip.
Conveniently located on Needham Street in a small strip plaza with CVS and Fresh City. 5 stars

Without Filene’s Basement a block away this is the only store in area for discounted clothes still in style. While they’re are other Marshalls that are better (ex. Copley Square) you still can find great deals.

My boyfriend tried to ask a sales associate (older woman, curly hair, probably the same lady mentioned a few reviews down similarly disrespecting customers) the price of a speaker that was out of the box, then asked if there was any open box discount… she replied by accusing him of opening the box then storming off. You can’t just accuse someone of doing something like that, maybe if you paid attention to the condition of your products and displays you would have seen that several were out of the box… not cool, didn’t buy anything, not coming back.

By far the best Marshall’s I have been to and I’m from Cali. Mainly because the designer items this store carries are definite steals. The designer shoes section is a good selection (Gucci, Valentinos, Dolce Gabbana etc) the only thing is you must have a good eye for these bargains. Luv it. The clothes they carry are good brands and the sales racks I always seem to find nice bargains on work and gym clothes. It’s a hunt but that’s all part of the shopping experience.

Good prices and deals in most items. I am not a big fan though because their return policy is pretty bad. Sometimes you can get lucky here on designer clothes. Hit or miss shopping.

As coming here on 11÷20÷13, I found how many great things you could find at this Marshalls. I will probably go to the one in Medfield as it is much closer to my house, but this location has a great selection of clothes and jackets. Will definitely return. The great service and parking are a plus.

Thank you Bill & Lacey. The 7am tie guy.

Good brand name stuff for great prices. Don’t expect any customer service or a special experience. There’s a reason they can keep the prices down.

The employees here seemed to be in a great mood and very helpful. The home section is quite large. On my trip there I purchased several large boxes of glassware which I forgot they do not have an exit directly to the parking lot so I could not take the cart through the mall to my car. They were eager to help and told me to pull my car to the front and they would have an employee come meet me with my cart. The gentleman was very nice and helped me to load the boxes into my car. I would highly rate this store for selection and staff attitude!

I used to love to shop at this Marshall’s. However, the store has gone downhill. Staff don’t know the merchandise and management is letting things get away from them. Under the «knits» section, there are lots of wovens. The size sectioning used to be kept up pretty well, but now when I look in the «medium» section, I see lots of larges and smalls. Today the clearance section was really picked over — you can get better merchandise at the Garment Factory in Cambridge, a used clothing store! While Marshall’s still usually has better prices than sister store TJ Maxx, it’s definitely seen better days.

I could literally spend an entire afternoon here and at the Filene’s Basement down the street (although I think FB might have closed). Still, this is hands down the BEST Marshall’s in my opinion — well-​stocked, organized, and an awesome selection.
No judgement here, but I’ve found that the selection at Marshall’s tends to vary based on the affluence of the immediate area. For example, the location in Watertown tends to carry more inexpensive brands, while the Needham location carries more designer brands and items at a slightly higher price point. That’s not always 100% true, but it’s something I keep in mind when I’m deciding whether a given location is worth looking into.
I live in New York, and while you’d think the Marshall’s there would be uh-​mazing (and you’d be right) the selection there is often so picked-​through that it’s not worth my time. On the off chance that I find an item I love, it’s often the only one of its kind, and usually not my size. Needham, on the other hand, usually has a full rack of each item in a variety of sizes. Last trip, I found a gorgeous black and grey tie-​dye maxi skirt I can’t wait to wear!
So I make the Needham Marshall’s a mandatory stop on my trips home, and almost always leave with armfuls of clothing, shoes, accessories (their handbag selection is great) and various home and kitchen accessories. SCORE!
P. S. I always, ALWAYS go to Marshall’s for gifts — they have lovely mugs, tea sets, and packaged foods like expensive jams and sauces for a lot less than retail. It’s great!

Sometimes you can really score here, I mean find some hot thing. The street can get busy so try not to walk on it, please. Oh, and it’s close to Trader Joe’s and the Acropolis for great greek food

I hate this place.
[Huh? Four stars double take]
Let me explain.
For one thing, it is located on Needham Street in Newton. Needham Street is terrible. Like homicidal thoughts-​inducingly terrible. Still, I am so lured by the wares of this Marshall’s I continually risk life (in jail) and limb (people are insane, yo) to get into this store.
Secondly, sometimes I think «hmm…I could use some socks for running, Marshall’s has good prices on brands like Puma and Adidas, I’ll go there». And what do I walk out with? Socks… and shoes, a yoga mat, a table runner for the holiday party I impulsively decided to have, wine glasses, two sweaters, a decorative vase, a photo box and a candle. Damn it!
Lastly, people know about it. It is *always* busy here. They just reorganized the store and the aisles can still be tricky to maneuver. Although kudos to the improved shoe section.
Impulsive buyers (and road ragers) proceed with caution.

They just redid this store! Before it was a mess. The lotions area was one big disaster zone, the belts were thrown on one rack, and you’d have to be on the Amazing Race to want to deal with the shoes. I heard the rumors that they had redone it so I walked in the other day and got so excited that I… left to return with my favorite shopping buddy. You can’t do a store like this alone!
There’s a great juniors section that is stocked with adorable accessories ($ 12 clutches anyone?), and they even pulled the best jeans out of the jeans section and put them on racks. How organized! I found a great pair of Seven jeans that were about half the price. I didn’t even have to dig through layers of mom jeans to find them! I found a few kitchen items that I needed, like a new potato peeler. Really convenient. We spent about two hours there, and walking out saw that they had a few electronic items near the mens section. Seeing even more stuff made me wish I still had energy to check out the whole store! I’ll definitely go back often.

I love this Marshalls! It is usually well stocked & clean.
the only thing that I hate about this particular store is that it is to far from my house if I just wanted to run in and take a peek to see what latest shipments came in. It is situated in a nice uppity community, so there is more designer items here for the masses. and I can always go the Filene’s Basement down the street too!
Also other Marshalls/​TJ Maxx that are a sure hit are:
Marshalls-​Canton-​Cobbs Corner
TJ Maxx-Norwell-Queen’s Anne Corner

I used to live within walking distance of this Marshall’s so I’ve been there a fair number of times. I must agree with my fellow Unilocalers that this store is generally very well organized and neat and has loads of great deals. For some reason this store has the best purses! I just avoid that section entirely now because I know I will find something I want.
My only issue with this store is that their associates are not very friendly. Well, maybe it’s not that they are unfriendly, they just don’t talk to the customers. They are more interested in talking amongst themselves. You definitely need to be more outgoing when approaching the dressing rooms, otherwise they kind of look at you as if they are thinking «Why is this person standing in front of me with an armload of clothes?» instead of just asking how many items you have. But that is really my only problem with this store, and I can get over it. :)

Much better than the typical Marshalls because of more civilised clientele (rich folks from newton) and better selection, which caters to (rich folks from newton).
Generally less «urban wear» than a typical marshall’s and good selection of men’s shoes and beauty products. They have a jewelry counter. And best of all, when you get bored, you can wander over to Filene’s basement or Pizzapaloza (across the street).

This is THE best Marshall to go for designer items. Hands down. Located in the Plaza with Fresh City-​which is great for fast food.
This location has incredible items here and it is very organized and clean. There are tons and tons of rack (clearance and non) to browse
Their shoes, perfumes, coats, beauty and home goods are top notch and second to none. Bonus to be able to make a layaway for non clearance items.
Do come here to save money. Do come here and be prepared to spend money.
Right off 128… I know a back road from Mass Pike/​Newton/​Comm Ave area, but I couldn’t pass it on if I wanted too. You could also take a far far walk or cab it from the Green line T stop –I think Newton Highlands.
The only problem. Do not come here during the week between 11−2…You are asking for a traffic death trap. There are a gazillion office building and restaurants all on a few mile radius.
