Marshalls

I’m a huge Marshalls and TJ Maxx fan and this one is a great one. It has a huge shoe department and always has fresh styles. The only negative is the parking garage is crazy town but luckily they are on the 3^rd floor which is usually a little more open.

Sorry. I’m not a fan of this store whose entrance is inside the 2^nd or 3^rd floor of a dimly lit garage. Inside is highly organized and clean, which makes for the best shopping experience, but what’s to tidy if there’s there’s no one in the store to mess it up? The selection of menswear is boring if not dismal. Rack after rack of Polo, Calvin Klein, and Nautica. You can find that at any Marshalls location. Zzzz. You don’t need to risk being mugged inside this garage (that has all the trappings for Lifetime movie set) for a $ 39 pullover. Also, while I’ve only visited this location once, I did think one of the employees was a miscreant. Pants hanging below his behind, revealing his underwear. Hoodie. Wild hair. Frankly, I was afraid (wondering if I should leave before becoming a news story on the evening’s Time Warner Cable News) until I saw him organizing housewares and his employee tag. What do the young people say? Nah, son. For those who like it, God bless. It’s all yours!

Very nicely organized store and felt had better and more choices than other Marshall at Cotswold.

You know what you are getting with Marshall’s; great deals in a pretty well organized store. At least my Marshall’s is! I’ve been here at least 30 times and I have only lived in the area a little over a year. I do always find something to take home with her here. I love it for workout gear, makeup, the occasional casual top and home goods. I even got a spider Halloween costume for my pug on my last visit. That should be fun. It was only $ 12! I have the TJMaxx/​Marshalls/​Homegoods credit card that gives me a $ 10 gift cert for every 1000 points I rack up which is not hard to do. I love getting those puppies in the mail.
I think Marshall’s is a great place to grab a little something for yourself without spending much and/​or for stocking that gift closet with a new kid’s toy for the next birthday party your kid goes to, a shirt for your man, or a spider costume for your dog. Happy shopping!

I shop here for home décor. On my most recent visit, I was looking for large clear vases for floral arrangements for Mother’s Day. There were about 5 styles to choose from. So while there wasn’t a large selection to choose from, there were enough options to meet my needs. Take from that if you have something specific in mind that isn’t common, this isn’t the place. There was a very short line checking out that moved quickly and the cashier was very friendly, even asking if the cases were for me or someone else. She also asked if I preferred they be in two separate bags. Courtesy goes a long way in my book. On the way out, I noticed that the shopping carts were so plentiful that they were actually blocking the entrance. This probably isn’t an issue when the store is busier, but is like a fire code violation because it could block people from getting out. Overall, slightly above average.

What is going on with this Marshalls? The most disappointing discount shopping I’ve ever done. There are no actual adult women’s clothes? There are 2 racks that are tiny right when you first enter the store but the rest of the area is all clearance. All I wanted was 1 pair of black pants for work which is normally all they have and racks of them, nothing. I am beginning to wonder if this store is on its way out? It might also be mid winter season? I donno but unless I’m desperate I’ll just hit Target across the street.

I love the mirrors on all the pillars. It gives me a chance to try on jackets and some shirts out in the open and see how they look without having to change in the dressing room. :D

Smallest Marshalls that I’ve ever been in. I am always amazed at how this chain manages to stay in business and be profitable. I mean, is this the first place you think of to get a suitcase or a cover for your iPad or a tub of salty/​sweet popcorn? Probably not. I think of Marshalls and I’m thinking semi-​name brand clothes and shoes. All of that, they have in spades.
Brightly lit with fluorescents (since the entrance is inside the parking deck) and a very shiny floor, the clothes racks are well separated and decently stocked. Prices are okay — not great but not excessive. And the selection is pretty good.
If you need a nice outfit or a rollaboard suitcase, give ‘em a shot.

So I had some time to kill while in the midtown section of Charlotte and was wandering around aimlessly in the MET. Pleasantly surprised with this Marshalls location (above Best Buy). I liked taking the escalator up and the store seemed to materialize out of nowhere — I am always amazed how big stores can get put into tight spaces.
The store is super clean and fairly organized — the staff was friendly and kept asking if I needed help finding anything, but I told them I was just browsing around. Pretty typical Marshalls stock inside the store… it did seem like they carried more housewares than the other Marshalls stores in the Charlotte area.

This location is close to it all! Just park your car in the garage and walk from one main store to the next… and Marshall’s is a great place to browse.
Recently I’ve been introduced to Marshall’s and I’ve scored great deals on items I had no idea I «needed.» I’ve made a couple stops since then and the plan is to not have anything in particular in mind when you go and then you’ll leave happy with something in hand.
It’s a clean and well stocked store. I don’t see many employees assisting customers, but then again it’s not like many of us need help if we don’t have anything in mind. Bring your own bag or you can buy one of theirs to reuse.

I usually am a fan of Marshalls, but not so much this time. I only stopped by here for convenience really.
When I walked in, it looked pretty standard. I was surprised to see more of clutter everywhere though. When I was browsing the shoes, I noticed that some of the shoes were located at the wrong price shelves, giving false advertising. The selections at this location were very slim. Usually I can get lost in Marshalls for a long time, but this time, it was more of a 10 minute browse. I would only stop by here really for convenience. There are other better Marshalls out there.

I wish I had the patience to really sort through their racks, but I hate shopping (gasp! yes! it’s true!) and it’s just a chore to go through everything. Even when I’ve found something I like I have to make sure I check the seams, the pockets… look for holes. (oh yea, I don’t like to sew either) Erg. I think if I needed housewares I might go in, but otherwise I’ll probably skip it in the future.

I enjoy visiting this location as it has just the right size clothes for me… The Big & Tall section. I am big, but not tall, but this store is one of just a few that carry the sizes that I wear.
With a great location, I can multi task, by visiting the local stores in the same complex, and make my trip downtown worthwhile. It has ample parking, plenty of deals, and best of all, my size.
If you find that some of the other Marshalls don’t have what you are looking for, give this location a try as it is slightly different.
From Lucky Brand Jeans, to Ralph Lauren, Tommy and others, this is a designers showcase, even in larger sizes.

Convenience is key for this Marshall’s. Need a frying pan on the cheap? How about some nice leather gloves? Or maybe a yoga mat?
Yes, this is your typical Marshalls — often a bit of a mess, requiring a fair amount of «digging» for treasure, but still clean and brightly lit. I’ve nabbed a few scores here over the years, but nothing to really write home about — some decent polos for hubs, scarves for grandmas, pretty picture frames, cute sandals, etc. The women’s clothing department leaves a lot to be desired but the athletic gear area is decent.
While it’s definitely not the best Marshalls in Charlotte, it’ll do for a quick, inexpensive gift on the fly.

Generally, I adore Marshalls because they have a little of everything and they have it cheap, but after a few tries I just can’t get behind this store. I don’t usually hit up the clothing department, I’m an accessories and housewares gal, but the few times I have were underwhelming. Sure, if i stopped and dug in elbows-​deep for a few hours I’m sure I could find a gem or two, but I just don’t care enough to look through all the mostly junk.
The shoe clearance section, usually my favorite, has a habit of having every shoe except the mate to the one I want to buy. And as for deals, lets just say you aren’t going to score a super find. The same goes for the handbag section.
Really I guess it just comes down to an overwhelming feeling of being underwhelmed. I know Marshalls can do better, and this little hidden location isn’t shinning.

So glad they built a Marshalls near uptown! It’s so great to have a decent, inexpensive place to shop for clothes and home items.
I’ve found some great deals here on really cute tops and dresses. This location doesn’t have as many items as the Marshalls in Cotswold or Matthews, but it’s still a pretty decent selection of items. What really makes me happy is how clean the store is. The lighting is perfect so you can see exactly what you’re purchasing.

Welcome home new (drastically discounted) designer handbag. Thank you Marshall’s!
As others have said, this is a smaller store with less variety than the Cotswold location. I have to add that with a little bit of patience and persistence, you can find a great deal at this Marshall’s as well. I’ve come to this store if the Cotswold location is out of my size in a particular shoe — it’s great to have two stores within a short drive of each other.
Ladies, if you’re looking for spring or summer dresses, this store JUST stocked up. There are lots of bright Calvin Klein or Nine West dresses in a variety of sizes. It’s much less picked over than the Cotswold location. Stop by quick before this one is picked over as well!
As for parking — if you must park in the attached deck, enter by the Trader Joe’s (and not by the Best Buy). Alternately, park on the bottom floor of the Target deck. In all reality, it all comes down to which direction you take to leave the parking deck and head home — turning left at the intersection of Best Buy /​Target /​Wendy’s is near impossible any day or time. I would love for the city to put a traffic light here! A girl can dream, right?

I like this Marshall’s, because it’s easy and convenient in its location. Right near Trader Joe’s, Target and Best Buy, so it’s hard not to include it when I head out to shop with the wife in the area. Everything is usually easy to find, though it’s all a mess lie most Marshall’s. The selection is average and not as extensive as the one in Cotswold, but again for the location, it’s convenient. Never really asked for help so I can’t comment on the service, but you can usually find what you need at a great price if you’re willing to dig around for it.

You have to be in the right mood and mindset to go to Marshall’s. Like Jason L. said, you have to dig to find what you want. I was not in the right mood when I headed there this afternoon.
My friend had raved about the shoe selection there, so I decided to go take a look. I’ve been searching for some boots or wintery shoes. The shoe selection was all right, though not amazing. It had good variety and pretty good prices. Then I started to look through the clothes, but I just couldn’t handle the crowds of people and all the digging it would take to eventually find something.
Given how tight everyone’s budget is, Marshall’s is probably a good, cheap place to look for Christmas presents this year.
Ugh. The parking garage there is designed terribly. And that’s not a good combination with Charlotte’s horrid, oblivious drivers. There are so many near-​accidents and it’s only time before something horrible happens there.

This store gives Marshalls a bad name. It’s a very sad, frustrating experience. Half the pants and shirts in the men’s department are mislabeled. The hanger says one size, while the tag on the garment (which is correct) always says something else. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d estimate 50% to 60% of the clothes are incorrectly labeled and in the wrong size section.
That said, there are still periodic good finds in both dressy and casual. If you haven’t been to a Marshalls before, they are a resale store and you’ll find designer brands marked very low. But don’t go if you’re in a hurry or you’ll want to murder half the people in the store. You really have to dig to find what you want.
Also the checkout line at this store can be outrageous. Even if it’s not long, the staff here always look like they’re on the verge of a meltdown. I would visit once a week just to see what’s new if it wasn’t such an ordeal. This Marshalls just makes me miss Filene’s Basement.
Update: The last two times I’ve been, there have been very (I mean really!) loud crashing noizes each time. I think the current manager has taken on the habit of knocking over displays he doesn’t like. It’s quite dramatic, the whole store turns around to look. I think I’m going to avoid this one for a few months.
