TJ Maxx

This place is where I go for my clothing. It has good prices. Its staff is civil. Its in a good location.

Great location in Friendship Heights is Metro friendly and close to other great shopping. However, TJ Maxx is often one-​stop bargain shopping for more than what you hoped to find. Walk in looking for a gift, and wow, pick up some gift wrap and jam while you’re there. Searching for some new weekend tote bag, and well, why not pick up some more athletic socks– at these prices, it’s a great idea to go here whenever there are a few items on your shopping list. Otherwise, be focused like a laser to reduce the browse effect and end result of finding more great deals!
The brands are pretty standard department store and some lower end names, but you can find some good items every now and again. Either way, there is still a unique selection and great pricing. Just don’t get sucked into spending more than you had planned or spending more time than your schedule allows.
Clean, organized store with plenty of staff to take care of the customers.

One of the better TJ Maxx’s in the city. The Georgetown location is closer to me but prefer this one as they have a great home goods, jewelry and purse selection. The only area the Georgetown location beats them out on is their clothes selection. So choose based on what you are shopping for.

I’ve spent the last 4 months of my life filling and decorating my new home and I don’t know how I could have done it without the help of all of the TJ Maxx stores within a 25 mile radius.
I blew through my budget with quality furniture so when it comes to the smaller accent pieces – candles, toss pillows, high-​thread count sheets, kitchenware, baskets, etc, I scale back and supplement my Pottery Barn/​Crate & Barrel binges with discounted items. This location is pretty prime because it’s in fancy Friendship Heights so they usually have nicer home brands.
To dispel a common myth: things aren’t discounted because they’re damaged, it’s usually just department store leftovers and I could care less if my housewares are last season.
And real talk you must have patience, you’re not going to «clean up» every time you go but they get deliveries regularly so check back as often as you can. I work down the road so there have been times when I’m there 2 or 3x a week, ahh the thrill of a bargain chase :-)

I’m a self-​proclaimed «Maxxinista» and I’m always on the prowl for the next bargain but this store is really picked over. Too much trash, not enough treasure.
Parking in this neighborhood is a sick joke too. I circled the store for 20 minutes before I forked over $ 10 of my hard earned to park in the garage for 2 hours, woof!

Wow! I absolutely love it here. The clothes, the general location, the selection of home goodsey kind of stuff. I am normally here either Saturday night or Friday night when all my contemporaries are either out to dinner with their spouses, or they are out drinking. Me I shop for shoes or purses. I found a great pair of Michael Kors black platform pumps here yesterday for $ 78 that were $ 100. See photo. Anyway. Its a great location with happy workers. I like it

I’m not a purse fanatic like some women, and I don’t own a real name brand purse, except for a Ralph Lauren and Guess purse that were both bought on sale at Macy’s several years back.
I didn’t know I wanted a purse going in to this store this past weekend, but there they were, hundreds of them. On tables. On racks. On shelves. They sure are pretty!
I had passingly thought about getting a purse that has a front zippered section because I am tired of digging around in my current purse with the black lining for my keys. I don’t know how you men do it. I could also do with some more space, just like with my current living space, but that isn’t going to change any time soon. buying a new purse is an easy fix.
I found the perfect purse for me! It’s taupe, or beige, or tannish, some color that I don’t own already, so I am justified, right?! The best part is that it was ONLY (I say that in caps for all the men reading this because that is cheap) $ 29.99! (Yes, two exclamation marks.) It’s a Tommy Hilfiger, which is the Michael Kors of yesteryear.
I can’t comment on the clothing selection. Just looking at the rows and rows of tightly packed clothes on all those racks made me feel fatigued. I did peruse the cosmetic shelves and picked up a little pack of facial masks, which wasn’t a financial splurge.
It’s easy and probably cheaper to take Metro rather than paying for parking if you are going to be in Friendship heights for more than three hours. There are plenty of other shops to explore nearby, and some good happy hours too.

I came in here today looking for some casual clothing since I packed a little too light. I found one shirt that I liked. There was a line but it thankfully moved quickly. The cashier courteous and professional.

The Men’s Department in this place is HOT GARBAGE! There isn’t much else to say about this location… Oh well…

More organized than other TJ’s and has a pretty big housing section. The shoe section always seems to be lacking in size 10s so just keep that in mind if you have huge feet like me. Also the people who work there are super helpful! If you need anything there is usually someone walking around. Only issue is, be prepared to carry your stuff to your car because you can’t bring carts.

Each time I have shopped here I have not been disappointed. Well, I have been disappointed with the selection of women’s clothes and shoes but the housewares, accessories, and cosmetics are on point. The first time I went I parked in the garage thinking they would validate. HUGE mistake. I paid $ 9 for 2 hours of parking! The next time I parked on the street! Plan to make regular trips to scour for deals! Store is clean and for the most part organized. I am kind of snob about stores that have stuff thrown all over the place so it is manageable enough to keep me from walking out in frustration. The cashiers are friendly but the floor staff is virtually non-​existent. Great deals if you take the time to look for them.

This TJMaxx is huge! A bit disorganized (but you get what you pay for, this is discount shopping and treasure hunting). The selection is huge. Fitting room cold (it’s the winter) and a bit dirty. Checking out was fine (in terms of wait time). Well worth a visit if you are in the area and are in the mood of hunting for pleasant surprises.

First time shopping here since they moved across the street and all I can say is this space is huge! Even a little extra space between racks makes searching for the perfect day-​to-​night dress more pleasant.
The handbag selection was massive. The store was a little disorganized (I was there on a Saturday afternoon) but that’s what you get at a TJ Maxx. There were people straightening the scarf section and restocking racks of clothes. The shoe section was a little disappointing – not really anything my style.
The store has a massive inventory and is worth a visit if you’re in the area. If I hadn’t put a time limit on my visit I probably could have gotten lost in the racks all day. Cookware, outerwear, sportswear – OH MY!

Much better in the new space (old filene’s basement). The old spot was a bit cramped and dirty. This location has a great jewelry and scarf selection.

OK, I am all about thrift shopping, discount shopping and all that. Not hoity by any stretch, don’t mind fending off the occasional homeless man’s advances while sifting through a ton of crap that smells like R. Kelly’s sheets… but this is the worst TJ Maxx I’ve ever been to. The clothes were crappy, shoes were completely disorganized and out of place, and the dressing room lady… OMG. Granted she may have been mentally challenged (seriously), but she was downright rude.
I don’t know, this place just totally gives me the creeps. Skip it and go to Nordstrom Rack or Loehman’s across the street. Better stuff and about 3564 times better customer service and vibe. (or go to the 13^th St. TJ Maxx – that one is pretty badass).

This place gets busy on friday/​saturday nights
You can steal a real bargain here – but you need loads of time to rummage around and look.

Not my favorite location, but I can’t resist going inside if I’m in the area. It’s ALWAYS cluttered, no matter what time of day or day of the week I’ve been.
However, because I’m such a TJ Maxx fiend, I always give it a 20^th «second chance» to see what’s up. The jewelry section is always watched like a damn hawk tho, so I assume that’s where all of the effort is placed. If you’re in the mood to plunder and search, then give this place a go. Otherwise, leave.
I’m often able to find nice hosiery or random stuff, so it’s not a complete waste of time. Usually.

Well theres a lot to see here.
Lately I’ve been on a quest to find the perfect holiday party dress. So this was my last resort before giving in to paying full price. I am so dumb. Why I dont raid department stores at the end of seasons beats me. I’ve been the same size since I was 16. I could totally stock up on dresses.
The staff here were really nice, and pointed me in the direction of… well… a huge mess. Maybe its not a mess, but you have to be in it to win it. Dig, and dig, and dig. I wonder how old some of these dresses are… do they still make designs like this? Also I agree with Jessica L, its hard to find the smaller sizes.
Overall a pretty good experience, but I came up empty handed. I suppose its hit or miss with these kinds of stores.

I was psyched to find a TJ Maxx just one Metro stop away. I needed a baby gift, and I’ve had great luck in the past finding good quality baby clothes on the cheap. I was disappointed as soon as I walked in — this particular store is a cramped mess. It’s like a TJ Maxx stuffed into someone’s basement. I feel sorry for the staff because there is just no way to keep this place presentable.
I was able to find a gift, but there wasn’t much selection in the baby department. I fared better in clothes and shoes, but the experience was unpleasant, even for a hardcore rummager like myself. I will probably come back due to the location and because I did find a few gems, I’m just going to have to mentally prepare!

I love discount shopping! But this place is super frustrating.
1) The layout is annoying, especially the women’s clothing is organized in a very odd way. For example, there’s two clearance sections rows apart from each other and I don’t understand why.
2) This store is really messy. I understand that these stores are usually not a prime example of tidiness, but I shouldn’t have to fight with the merchandise.
3) The men’s section is a joke. Unless you’re looking for a button-​down-​shirt-​in-​a-​box, pajama pants, or a University of Maryland t-​shirt, don’t even bother.
4) The little maze section to the cash registers is super claustrophobic (on top of already feeling that way since the entire store is underground). There seems to be random trinkets practically falling off the shelves directing you towards the registers, which have clothes strewn all over them as it is. The slow staff working make this wait tremendously long, adding even more injury.
The only reason this place manages to get two stars is because I swear by discount shopping.
