TJ Maxx

I love TJ Maxx stores! This one is one of my favorites! Merchandise is kept in good order. I always find wonderful things in this location.

Maybe the tiniest TJ Maxx I have been to in the area. Selection is much narrower than most other area stores as a result. I felt like I could browse the whole store just by scanning my eyes across the room from the front door. I poked around a little bit but didn’t really find much I was that particularly jazzed about. The selection was ok, but again, there are better stores in the area. A very small amount of housewares but that may also be a product of a Homegoods store being so close (although there are TJ Maxx and Homegoods stores right next door to each other in Ann Arbor and that store still carries more house wares).
As a result I didn’t do a lot of shopping there. But I also wasn’t looking for anything in particular. Mostly I was just stopping in to run a return since I was in the area. But the staff person that helped me was quick and courteous so I had my $$ back in a jiffy. If I lived in the area I’d pop in and poke around a bit every so often but I wouldn’t go to out of my way to go back here again.

I used to like TJ Maxx a lot but I just reviewed Marshalls which is close by as well, and I’ve switched from TJ Maxx in this area to Marshalls. This TJ Maxx has always been a bit sloppy and the merchandise is scattered. Shoes and things seem like they are always out of stock here. It’s good for jeans or shorts or summerwear, though selection sometimes does vary compared to other locations.
I’ve been shopping here for years and the service has been good of late but it was terrible years ago with employees being very rude. Again that was in the past. On all recent visits employees have been friendly. I still do check in here once in awhile but Marshalls seems to be my new favorite in the area as it seems cleaner and with better inventory.

This was my first time in this store and probably my last. As far as TJ Maxx goes, this one is kind of small in comparison to others. I found it to be typical of others as far as being messy and not too organized. It’s so obvious the merchandise is ‘just what they ended up with’ type of stuff. I simply don’t have the patience to hunt and sort through all of the crap to save $ 5 on a shoe. The cashiers were either incredibly tired and overworked or just not at all friendly. The best thing about this shopping venture was I found a $ 10 bill in the parking lot! lol!

This a typical TJ Maxx, a little messy, in a shopping center that was hit hard by the Great Recession (if you want to call it that). Lots of empty stores. They are opening a Walmart soon so it might help traffic. This store is near a Sally’s Beauty and the Bath and Body Works. A Dress Barn and Golfsmith is nearby as well.
The best thing about this store and indeed, this mall, is that you can park practically right at the front door if you get there early enough. It’s also a short throw from West Oaks, which has the good Homegoods, Michaels, Toys R Us, and a really nice Big Lots!
