Marshalls

Extremely poor customer service. Great finds but don’t count on the employees to be helpful. Walking away from this store feeling offended and saddened by humanity.

Well, when I want to go treasure hunting for fashion this is the place. I always I mean always find great merchandise at a reasonably low price. The associates here are not helpful and they don’t come with smiling faces nor cheerful attitudes, more like an unwelcomed grimace with a don’t come near me while I pretend to work look. Yet, I don’t mind, I know what I like and I know how to style myself. I only need the nearest checkout with an efficient cashier. Marshalls, is renowned for their tends and designer names for less than retail prices. Designers such as: Coach, Dooney & Burke, Ralph Lauren, and Michael Kors just to list a few. I am not overly hyped about labels or trends; however, for the shoppers who are Marshalls has a wide variety of trendy handbags, shoes, clothes, and accessories for the fashion seekers. The home department and organic cleaning products are my newest loves. I have been buying so many nic-​nacs that I have no space for and I continue to buy more. Although the home department is my new love the shoe department remains my true love. I never leave the store without checking out Marshalls shoes and great deals, somehow I seem to create a guilt free excuse to buy a pair. I love Marshalls. I find so many great items here at exceptionally low prices and it’s located in the center of other popular shops, eateries, and AMC Elmwood Palace 20 which is awesome in my humble opinion.

Overall, this place is a hot mess.
I’m used to these type of stores not being too organized but this place is close to chaotic.
If you are looking for something specific all I can say is good luck. If you just want to browse and hope that serendipity sends something your way you’re in luck.

I never go here when I am shopping for something specific, but always end up buying a few things. I love looking though the home goods section because I can always find something I like, great for odd and ends. They also started to get more electronic accessories in stock for iphone, ipad, laptops, ect.
I have never had much luck on shoes and clothing. I don’t have much patients for that.

I think I figured out the difference between Marshalls and T.J. Maxx.
At T.J. Maxx you can generally expect the size tag on the hanger to match the article of clothing on the hanger.
At Marshalls it’s kind of like that mystery box of stuff left on the doorstep by the ex: you don’t know what’s in there, but are pretty sure it won’t work.
I’ve had some luck in the past finding dress shirts back when I had to wear a suit M-​F in hot New Orleans warehouses during the summer. Outside of that though, I struck out. And it took longer than it should thanks to the mismatched hangers.

I like this location best out of all the Marshall’s: They have the biggest floor space and offerings, AND you can hit the TJ Maxx a couple of doors down. Their shoe section is laid out nicely, with plenty of new and clearance items. I also see some of the more expensive makers like Coach. This goes for the purse section, too.
Their furnishings and home goods section usually has more variety than the other greater Nola locations. I have gotten some good bargains there over the years. It’s perfect for the champagne taste on a beer budget! The only drawback is the Huey P. construction going on.
