Marshalls

On entering one is strucked how different the lay out of this is to the other stores. The entrance has a long, cold vestibule connecting smaller shops that reminds one of the 1970s. The store itself is a flat expanse with no noticible nooks or corners, just aisles layed out plainly in ugly white light, kind of like it was just thrown there. The back few square feet is under a lowered ceiling and can feel cramped. One can veiw the entire store at the entrance. Almost the total opposite floor plan wise as its cousin TJ Maxx.
As products and pricing go this store is for shopping the clearance racks. Good fines can be found with various mark downs that can be pretty steep. As for every day priced items I find it disappointing. The cloths for men are out-​of-​style and on the level of Walmart or Meijer in quality. Of course, menswear is allocated a quarter of the clothing space per usual.
When I do shop here it is for textiles and bedding. The selection isn’t deep though, but the prices on these items are great for the quality. They have some brand name towels – the selection is low though.
I find it hard to shop here as the floorplan is too open and it makes one feel exposed. It is a very ugly store with many throwback processes like the roped ordered checkout. But it is a nice place to shop for bedding and housewares. It is kind of like a JC Pennies had collided with a Tuesday Mornings.

Went to Marshalls on Bethel Rd to return an item that I lost the receipt for. OMG! The Associate was Sooo rude. She took the item out the bag and threw it accross the counter. I hand her my drivers license (in her hand mind you.) and when she is done, she tosses it and my store credit on the counter. Worst customer service EVER! Will not be shopping at that store anymore.

I wish there were more Marshall’s in Columbus, since I have been a fan of Marshall’s for some time. This Marshall’s was a little disappointing. It was really hard to find an employee to ask questions to!
I also bought a pair of Franco Sarto flats, AND I ABSOLUTELY REGRET IT. These were the first pairs of shoes to literally scrape off the skin on my ankle! To the extent where it was beyond painful to walk in them.
–_​– It was not cute.

Ok, so as a guy, I have a totally different view of Marshalls. This store definitely caters to women. I’d say a good 60−70% or more of this store is for women and the men’s section is not that great. My wife loves it here as the women’s section is always teeming with new items and brand name clothing items.
The men’s side seems to be hit or miss. Every time I come here, I see the same clothing for men. There’s not much turn over and not a lot of new items. If you come here once a month, you should be fine for the men’s side to see what has changed.
I talked to the manager about this and she said that this Marshall’s has the highest turnover rate for women’s apparell (specifically sports) in the area so they keep getting new stuff to re-​stock. She did state that because the men’s stuff doesn’t sell as well, they don’t get as many new stuff for men as a result.
so basically, if you’re a girl and you like sporting apparel, they have tons of stuff and you’ll likely find what you want. My wife comes home with Pearl Izumi, Nike, Adidas, and other brands that have new technology (like dry fit, or thermal integration but not the waffle kind). it’s really nice for her.

They have great merchandise! I love this franchise and it is probably my number one store. I don’t even bother with department stores now.

Always check the clearance sections.
Wait. No. Don’t. Then you’ll snatch all my goods!
Not much new to add to a review of Marshall’s. It is stocked with awesome, often designer, goods at affordable prices. The irony is I stil end up spending a FORTUNE! I just can’t help myself.
Chances are if you really like something, it will be bought by someone else the if you pass it up. Merch moves pretty quick here. Which also means they rotate inventory quite a bit. An evil but glorious cycle for someone like me.
If you don’t like Marshall’s, you must be a terrorist.

A few weeks ago I bought a piece of reclaimed wood furniture for my kitchen (½ cabinetry, ½ wine rack) and had a great experience! The sales associates were extremely helpful in the sale and loading it into the car. Everyone was very pleasant and complimentary of the piece. And it was a great price!
I prefer this location as it is generally more organized, less busy, lines are not as long, and there is a large selection of Housewares/​Garden items I am shopping for.
My advice: If you see something you think you might want, BUY IT or it will be gone! Returns and/​or exchanges are very easy, and much less painful then the discomfort of knowing someone else owns what you should have bought (and you never know if you will ever see a particular item again at such a reduced price).

My review here is the same as my review for TJ Maxx. The companies have the same corporate parent, so you can expect similarity. You can fill out your wardrobe here for $ 200 or less. Marshall’s, like TJ Maxx, has a huge variety of clothing and wares for sale. These things are all discount, but they are also current fashion — good for us. They also have casual clothing, sleepwear, sports clothing, formal wear, housewares, linens — the list goes on. You have to go to this location, though. I’ve been to others that aren’t kept up as well and have a worse selection.

I LOVE Marshalls. They have great clothes, a lot of name brands, and shoes, dishes, bath stuff, bedroom stuff, random books and food. Its so amazing. You can find so much here! Check it out for sure.
