Marshalls

Really bad experience at this location. I was searching for a new luggage and other items for my trip and finally found a really nice suitcase however after closer observation I saw a dent in a handle bar. I went to the checkout and after waiting in a long line (they no longer have a return check out) I asked the cashier if they are willing to discount the suitcase since it has a dent. She politely said that it is not up to her and called her manager. To my surprise, the manager was really unpleasant and told me that the best she can do is $ 4 discount which wasn’t even 5%. When I asked if she can do 10% like most stores would with a damaged item, she said no and that I don’t have to buy it so i did what she suggested. I didn’t make the purchase and I left everything else that I was going to buy. They lost $ 250 profit from me that day and a good customer due to poor management skills. I may not seem that big to them now but if they keep treating their customers this way, sooner or later they will lose more people. There are plenty of businesses out there which know how to treat their clients. Very disappointing experience…

If you like treasure hunts, look no further.
The prices here are pretty good, and I always get caught up in looking at all of the eclectic items they have in stock. They have a wide variety of clothing for the entire family and they seem to be priced pretty well.
I usually end up looking at things that I do not need. Then I think I need them. Then I usually put the item back. Unless it is a pretty sweet deal I usually don’t get to much stuff.
Sometimes it is hit or miss on finding really great deals. Nothing that really separates it from similar stores.

For Men’s wear the best Marshall’s I have visited bar none. The one on River North may have a few more suits at times, but this one is close.
Outstanding quantity of men’s shirts and ties. Plenty of Ralph Lauren dress shirts (polos, too) and not just in crazy sizes. Another brand I have terrific luck with is Forsyth of Canada in men’s shirts. Nice deep spreads on the collars, easily accommodating a full Windsor knot, interesting textures, and sharp tailoring. Be sure to check the hanging rack, as any shirts that are opened usually end up there.
The necktie selection is flush with Haines & Bonner, Beau Brummels, and Countess Maras., all brands I have good luck with for durability. Usually stocked with a good sized amount of Nautica as well, though I have had terrible results with shirts falling apart after only a few washings, so I steer clear of that brand now. Deep in belts as well.
Great part too is there are other «outlet» shops such as Nordstrom Rack, Off 5^th, Neiman Matcus’ Last Call, and more in the same strip mall. Makes foor excellent discount shopping excursions.

I love this Marshall’s, but it loses a star for being overpriced! Though, they have a lot of cool stuff that you would be willing to pay a little extra to get. This Marshall’s has a big kid’s section, Big n’ Tall section and a lot of clearances. This is the first Marshall’s or Ross where I have been able to find my shoe size (15). I was so excited! This is a busy and multicultural place, so expect to be pushed by another person. With diversity and great clothing, come a little pushing and rudeness! Otherwise, enjoy the cool clothes and items!

This Marshals is pretty great. They have a better men’s selection than any other Marshals I can remember ever going to.
Not to mention I’m also 6’6 so the fact that they have a big and tall makes it that much better. The store was jam packed with customers yet stayed very organized and the checkout line moved very fast.
I actually scored a Brooks Brothers suit for $ 300 (usually $ 899)! This is by far and away the best find I’ve stumbled upon at a Marshals.
Anyway this place is worth the trip, plenty of good finds throughout and you’ve got other great stores in the same shopping center (Nordstrom Rack, Bloomingdales Outlet, and Saks off 5^th).
You can easily make a day out of it then hit up one of the local restaurants nearby. I hit up Maggianos!

They are sneaky!!! The last two times I almost left empty handed until I reached their register aisles… They have some seriously good things hidden there. I found my cute panda coffee mugs here before! I’m one of those customers that you have to pass in line because I just HAVE to look at all the stuff while waiting in line.

It’s Marshalls. Nothing I say here is going to sway you one way or the other. You either like it or don’t.

I love Marshall’s, they always have great prices on famous designer shoes and clothes.
I also love all the luxurious soaps and knickknacks they offer in their home goods aisles.
Sometimes the aisles are picked through but it’s hard to leave here without a shopping bag full of goods; it also could be a total clusterf*k on the weekends.
They have a good selection of children’s, women’s and men’s clothing as well; ranging from casual to dressy.
The employees have always been friendly, except for the one time I went to the fitting room with my sister and the young lady was like «OK, you can try them on but you ONLY have 8 minutes! 8 MINUTES!» Like ok please chill lady and do yourself a favor and go through a course on customer service.
This is the only location I’ve been to and I’ve never been disappointed here and I definitely hit it up on all my shopping sprees.
Finding a steal can require some digging though, like my Michael Kors jeans I found for $ 8…maybe a pricing mistake, but hey, I’ll take it :)

I love this Marshalls for their products and prices; however, the cashiers are typically rude and unprofessional. This results in poor customer service.
I will continue to shop here nevertheless.

I was here last week and disappointed again. This store always seems to be a mess and merchandise picked over and sometimes damaged.
The Marshalls on 59 and Irving Park is a much better location to shop at, always clean merchandise is very organized and there is a better shoe selection at the store on 59 as well..

Who needs to find much needed school bags and new school shoes for the kiddies at reasonable prices that keeps the bank account in the black? Me.
Shopping at this location you can find varied styles for all the family members from head to toe. I had to find backpacks that fit the styles of my kids and shoes with hard to find sizes. Lucky for me Marshalls had styles and prices that ranged for every need. My kids found a backpack that was not too ‘babyish’ and I found that the backpacks were priced in wide ranges. This allowed me to give my kids 3 – 4 selections to choose from.
The range of shoes were just right and although the pickings were not that of your local shoe store there were pretty ones with straps and gym shoes with cool laces. We found the hard to find sizes in shoes that fit the utility need and were up to date.
The location of this Marshalls is ideal for wanting to find items that are in season at prices well below the full price tag. Of course if this is not what you are looking for go across the street. Full price items can certainly be found at the mall.
Note: The bathrooms are located by the shoe department. Easily handicap accessible as my daughter was able to use the electronic push plate against the wall that opens the door automatically. Just make sure you use the lock when getting inside. We accidentally surprised an older lady who failed to lock the door behind her for the use of this single facility. Since the door is automatic the ease and speed of closing the door was halted from the handicap features. The unknown bathroom patron was displayed like a Macy’s window during the Holiday season along State Street! I apologized with utmost grace and proceeded to use the other bathroom and securely locked the door.

Hunting is fun… if you hit the right time, right after markdowns — but before the main crowd has gotten to them, aka Sunday late night… you might have first crack at the bargains.
It’s cocktail dress and boot clearance time right now, time to stock up.

I love this place. They ALWAYS have something. It’s a bit chaotic and unorganized (the shoe section especially), but the merchandise is there — just make sure you’re armed with time for browsing when you go.

I’m such a sucker for these stores. I always find so many good deals. In this case, professional Calvin Klein dresses that were a steal! My workplace is pretty casual but, from time to time, I need to dress up a bit for after hours work events. I saw the same style in a fashion magazine so these styles are pretty current! Really nice quality dresses (I bought several different styles and colors) for $ 49.99. Fantastic! I left a happy camper!

Just had a great experience. I think we all know this kind of shopping is hit or miss, but I hit the big one today.
Sam Edelman Lorissas (the super spikey heel, peep toe) $ 60! Shut the front door… I don’t even say that. But seriously. WOW.
I also went to another one of the discount stores right next-​door and they did have the same shoes still at over $ 100. I got super lucky. They only had two sizes, and one of them happened to be mine.
I did snag a fancy collapsable lunch box and skull candy headphones though along with my Edelman’s.
You can totally find good deals, you just might not always happen to find something… or in your size. If my friend Keith R. hadn’t suggested Melanie R. and I meet him here it wouldn’t have even crossed my mind. Just reminds me that you have to go in and check these places out every now and then. I totally wanna go check out the Marshalls closer to my house now to see if I’ve been missing out!

Full price + in season + first run clothing? Too rich for my blood.
In fact, if I go to a store and see something that isn’t already in a bin and doesn’t have a deodorant stain or make-​up smear already on it, I don’t even have to look at the price tag to know I can’t afford it.
I mean, there was an era where I could take part in those luxuries, but then as time went on those little nice things that I so often liked to buy really started to add up and eventually I was no longer a mid-​twenty something forward-​dressing fashonista on a seemingly limitless budget. Today I stand before you a (oh god, this is the first time I’ve typed this out) late-​twenty something broke-​ass bargain betty who has worn the same black jeans covered in cat hair and over-​sized denim button down for virtually the past 3 weeks. What?! I’ve been busy. And I have every intention of wearing something different on Thursday this week. So, myeh.
Anyway, I come here in lieu of my former days of endlessly perusing the real realm of retail (Woodfield Mall) across the street. Now I find myself scavenging for tags with yellow dots or red sharpie lines drawn through them. The selection here isn’t great by any means and I swear on my life this location is some sort of
location for gypsy caravans as I’ve seen gypsy families on more than one occasion come in in a large group, cause a loud scene arguing in the store, children grabbing at everything, loading carts, switching price tags, and then standing in line to try and bargain, haggle and hornswoggle the cashiers over every item. It can be amusing, but not when you’re in line behind them or when you think you might be at risk of being pick-​pocketed by a 4 year old while you try to eyeball the prices on jars of old artisan olives.
Lucky or unlucky for these all too frequent cray cray customer instances, it’s made the store staff pretty hardened but at the same time very tolerant. Even this past weekend when I had taken a Nerf gun I’d found on the ground there and began aiming kill-​shots in the menswear accessory section mirrors, the employees took one look, walked right up and asked my boyfriend if we needed any help finding anything. A ballsy move by the Marshall’s team, and I can appreciate that.
Just do yourself a favor and never shop retail on the weekends. It’s never worth it.

Marshalls and stores like it are very hit or miss for me. I love their home department, but their clothes/​shoes are meh. Sometimes the prices are pretty cheap, and other times I don’t think it’s much of a deal. This Marshalls is always crowded, has long lines, and seems disorganized. The staff isn’t overly friendly as well. Usually if I go to a Marshalls I avoid this one because it’s so chaotic.

Marshalls resembles many other outlet or discount clothing stores. There’s nothing remarkable about it and providing your expectations aren’t too high, you may be surprised to find a deal here or there.
The warm oatmeal:
+ Prices are excellent on name-​brand labels
+ Women’s selection is great
+ As compared to Ross or even other Marshalls, the store isn’t trashed with clothing thrown all around
+ Plenty of parking outside
+ Ample changing rooms to try on your garb
The luke-​warm oatmeal:
+/​-​Hit or miss dress coats and blazers for guys, often they are over-​sized
+/​-​Lines are largely dependent on what time of the day you shop
The cold oatmeal:
— Nonexistent fitted dress shirts in 15 ½ neck by ³⁴⁄₃₅ for guys. I have snagged maybe two or three in three years of coming here.
— The tags don’t always match the actual size of the clothing, I’ve had more than a few mismatches that should have fit by the numbers, but when taken to the changing room were too large or to small.
Overall, as a bargain store, the value you will derive depends on how much time to have to filter out the good from the bad. If you have a free weekday, that’s the day to test the waters, as the displays and crowds are more orderly.

It’s not super clean but everything is cheap. I like to go there when I buy perfumes or brand name accessories because they’re half price.
The staff isn’t friendly but they’re not mean either so the experience varies on your philosophical bend.

What an awesome selection of shoes!
I was able to find these beautiful Adrienne Vittadini ballet flats for $ 35 and just two weeks earlier I saw the same ones at DSW for $ 70! I couldn’t believe it so they had to be mind!
