JMD Squares Stores

Realised that I was woefully under prepared for the blizzard that’s to hit us in NY tomorrow so I decided to finally bite the bullet and invest in some Sorel snow boots. I checked the Sorel site and saw there were a few stores near me that sold them.
The other stores I called were out of my size, thankfully JMD had two pairs and held them for me. The staff were so nice and informative. I didn’t get the name of the sales Assistant who helped me but he was incredibly informative about winter coats as well, and just very helpful.
Next time I need to winterise more of my wardrobe I’ll definitely go there. They have a huge selection of the latest clothing and footwear. Support your local business!

Certainly overpriced, but far worse is their nasty attitude and unwillingness to accept a return for an item without each and every tag which had been originally affixed to the item. Would never shop there again and advise others to avoid this place too.

Good neighborhood store for sneakers and clothes. Love the Levi’s, Timberland and Carhartt selection. Spent my winter budget all there and the owner Howie was nice enough to give me a discount.

Very friendly. very reasonable prices. Ive shopped here a few times and it beats atlantic ave mall everytime. Definitely earned my business when they looked for the sneakers I wanted and called me when they got them in. Went above and beyond. Def made my Christmas.

Good store, called a head to put an item on hold and they had it for me under the counter, as promised, when I showed up that night. Nice service from the staff, and good selection of the Canada Goose jackets I was looking at. Was really happy with the experience and it’s right off the subway.

I have to disagree with the other two reviews a little.
True, the staff does hover a little and they don’t seem very accommodating on returns. (Although who returns a pair of athletic socks?)
But the prices on Carhaart, Woolrich and Columbia clothing is spot on. It’s the exact same price you will pay anywhere in New York for those brands. I would much rather buy the clothes they carry than go to Dave’s in Manhattan or Pops up in Greenpoint.
I think the average shopper would be glad to know they had a store with reasonable prices on those brands nearby. It has a pretty good selection too.

I have never in my life been treated so rudely. I requested that they find out if a coat I was interested was available in my size and left my telephone number. The never called and when I did call them they told me they were soooooooooooooooo busy that wouldn’t be able to find out and get back to me for days. WTF??? Instead of supporting a local business I bought the coat online. Too bad, I have shopped there several times in the past and I have no idea what happened. Must be nice to treat customers like dirt.

I go in here whenever i’m in the area. They have a lot of winter gear and shoes, but the prices are a bit steep. I know it’s not a chain store, but the prices should be affordable. The staff does hover over you so it is kinda turn off to shop.

Decent brands but way overpriced… I saw a normal pair of socks for $ 14 there. Rude, childish manager. I simply bought a quantity bag of athletic socks & tried to return them (*note to set Jack H. straight: the first reference to a *pair* of socks is an example of the store’s overpricing; I didn’t buy them). The receipt clearly said merchandise could be returned for exchange or refund. I happened to go when the manager (probably an owner), a middle aged white guy with a beard, was there. I nicely, almost apologetically explained that I’d bought some socks a few days earlier but they didn’t feel right, they didn’t breathe so I was returning them. He cut me off, with a bewildered nasty smirk and said «I have no idea what you’re talking about… what are you returning?» I had the plastic bag with the socks in one hand, and the receipt in the other. I said I’m returning these socks and he again rudely cut me off saying he had no idea what I was talking about, where were the socks? It was like a bad dream where people act in annoying absurd ways. I lifted the socks out of the bag and explained for the 3^rd time… it went on like that, he basically made the experience as unpleasant as possible. He did finally cancel the charge on the bag of socks I hadn’t opened and didn’t say a word after that, no polite words to end the transaction or make up for the fact he was a complete d*ck to me for no reason. If I ever was desperate to get athletic socks again in the immediate vicinity I’d try one of the stores just a bit further along 5^th Avenue across 9^th street instead. Horrible.

been here at least 2x, where i bought some personal stuff like underwear, socks, a headgear for winter use — well, i think they’re well stocked; i think they’re reasonably priced.
merchandising, though, is not as great, as it looks like an open warehouse. i have to add that i found the staff friendly.
