TJ Maxx

This is another typical TJ Maxx, which doesn’t have much to impress me. However, it was able to find k-​cups for the Keurig and they were well-​stocked with many varieties. In addition, they also had pretty massive selections of food items. I found the sesame salad dressing for $ 2.99. Unfortunately, women’s ready-​to-​wear department is always a hit or miss. I’ve been struggling to find some quality merchandize for work at any TJ Maxx. Every once awhile I find some stylish pieces, but often times clothes were just picked over by human traffic.
The location of this TJ Maxx is conveniently located by the Bed, Bath and Beyond and Wal-​Mart Express. There’s also a plenty of shops since Broadway, Diversey, and Clark run into each other. With that being said, CTA bus 76 (Diversey), 22 (Clark), and 36 (Broadway) will take you there. It’s also within 10-​minute walking distance from CTA Diversey Brown, Purple line station.

I shop TJMaxx for a variety of wants and needs. I was at this store last Thursday to get gifts & supplies supplies for that weekend’s graduation events. Until I had returned home, I didn’t realize I had lost my wallet In one the stores I’d visited that day. This TJMaxx returned my call to let me know the ‘dressing room attendant’ found my wallet, and put it their safe for my pickup. I returned to the store, collected my perfectly fine wallet, and went home to find the hairs I’d lost because of my foolishness and to reflect on my experience with their RockStar customer service.
I will return, and return, and return again.

As retail has become more fragmented, I look to different stores for different things. TJMaxx is my go to for a couple of categories. I love their discounts on high end shaving creams and moisturizers; the stock varies so I check every time I go to find the best deals on brands like Zirh and Strivectin. I love their selection of luggage as well. I’ve bought Tumi and Mandarina Duck luggage here at crazy low prices. I also like their underwear, winterwear and athleticwear discounts.
Mostly, however, I like the new housewares section in the back right of the store where you can find pillows, dishes, picture frames, dog beds, and decorative items including lamps. I’ve found cute gifts for friend and great things to perk up my house.

This is the poorest TJ MAXX I’ve ever been!
Unfortunately most items are broken, empty shelves, very disorganized and stuff seems that has been sitting there for years. Also, they don’t restock often enough.

I had a routine. Trader Joe’s for groceries, World Market for anything i couldn’t find there and a quick dash into TJ for a bauble or something to freshen up my look.
What happened? This used to be a great TJ – well-​stocked, logically designed. Now, NOTHING. There are two racks of blouses and one rack of pants & skirts. The previously huge clearance section is tiny now. They have had the same dresses all summer. Speaking of the dress rack why is it over in the junior & plus department? I LOVE accessories and the last time I visited there were two hats and a few of those hideous infinity scarves. The purse section was well-​organized but again, mini. Hodge-​podge housewares, you get the idea. It looks like they are closing!
On the plus side, the store is always clean. The staff does a great job merchandising what they do have. The manager is really nice – welcoming and helpful. Seems like they could really use some support from corporate. You’d think with the traffic here-​BBB & Walmart in the same building this place would be stuffed.

Not bad, not bad.
I come here frequently when I’m in need for a little retail therapy. With good prices not only can I not complain, my pocket book can’t either.
I frequently have luck with finding good quality name brand items and on occasion have seen said items in big name and boutique stores around the the city for much more $$$$. If TJ Maxx is saving me money, I am a fan.
Also, as a side note, my sister and I went shopping here for my nieces recently. There were SO many cute clothes for kids at this location. I think this is due to the fact that the neighborhood isn’t really a kid friendly environment and those families that live in LP probably aren’t shopping at TJ Maxx.

Worst service ever at return section. If you tried to return something. Wow good luck they are not happy about it and they will come back and tell you Didnt get at TJ Maxx which I did!

I came in here today to look for a Jersey to wear to
our upcoming Elite Event on Wednesday Night…
Dont wanna go to Jersey Jam without a Jersey…
However. I had no luck finding said Jersey today.
T.J. Maxx did not have much variety.
And. I am not dissing T.J. Maxx. because compared
to the Marshall’s I went to last week this store looks
pretty good.
A nice, neat layout, no visible merchandise thrown on the floor,
and decent variety just not in the sports apparel department!
I did find a Brian Urlacher Jersey in Orange but.
I dont do Orange so that was a negative!
But from what I could see the store was definitely well organized
and the majority of the merchandise looked pretty good.
But. Yes. I was disappointed not to be able to find my Jersey
today, so I will continue my quest tomorrow.
And. I am determined to find my Jersey!
Just sorry I could’nt find it at T.J.Maxx.:(

2.5 stars for me. TJ Maxx hasn’t really impressed me as a discount retailer and I always feel like their Maxxanista commercials always are better than what I’ve seen in the actual stores. Or, maybe this one just doesn’t have that great of a selection compared to other locations.
Anyway, it seemed like the whole store could have used a quick straightening job. The merchandise wasn’t displayed nicely and certain areas were just a mess. I mean, granted, it was a Sunday evening so I get it. I’ve worked retail before. Also, another gripe I have about the merchandise is that it just seems somewhat old and dirty.
Nevertheless, my boyfriend found two Nike Pro workout tops, which were a steal at $ 15 a piece instead of $ 30. We also picked up two huge coffee mugs, which amused us.
Would I come back? I suppose, but honestly, we were just in here to use the bathroom and ended up buying things anyway. Oh, and another gripe — I really hate it when bathrooms don’t have toilet seat covers! Those should always be filled!

I am so glad T J Maxx is just couple blocks away for the last minute new shirt or clothing you may need.
Upon entering the store, you will notice the store is very well layed out. To the left, is more of the limited household items are such as furniture, cookware, bathroom items and bedrooms items. It is definitely a hit or miss if you are looking for a certain item.
To the right of the entrance, you will notice the jewelry and clothing. I can’t speak out the jewelry or women’s wear — so I won’t. However, regarding men’s wear, the selections are pretty decent. The prices are very reasonable. Always plan to leave with more items that you originally went in there for. Quality of clothing various, however, I’ve always been happy with my purchases.
Granted, there are times the store is a little unkempt but nothing really to complain about.
Deena, Customer Service Representative, was very courteous when I was looking for my items and then at the checkout counter.
Overall, happy with this department store.

When you can actually find clothes your size, then it’s a good deal. The selection is miniscule here…

Very Handsome Boyfriend and I go out with friends for cocktails and he is wearing the soft, warm, new charcoal sweater I bought him.
The ladies around the table each proceed with
A. You look GOOD!
B. Nice Sweater!
C. Where did you get that Sweater?
D. All of the Above (with petting action)
Boyfriend glares a little skeptically at me, because, let’s face it, I am Italian and entirely capable of bribing the girls with drinks into complimenting the sweater he was initially not-​so-​excited about putting on… except I didn’t. This time anyway.
Then The Guys noticed and got jealous, They wanted this sweater and the feminine appreciation (and light petting) it garnered!
After a few two many drinks, Boyfriend said «I want 3 or 4 more of these…» pulling at the sweater and swiped the ground with his foot (I swear!) Cutest thing ever.
So Unilocal,did you know T.J. Maxx has Cashmere and Lambswool Ralph Lauren Sweaters for half-​retail or more? EW, Not the gross, ghetto sweatshirts with logos bigger than a house plastered all over… those are grosser than the go-​to predecessor: a stained Bears T-​Shirt with holes in it that «I SWEAR I do not know where it went! Where did you leave it last?» Oh, No.
This is the soft, subtle, warm sweater with the tasteful tiny little embroidered polo rider and horse on the chest.
Because, collect all the Macys coupons you can clip– you still won’t be able to score this deal. And my friends won’t either…
Because I told them all I bought it at Saks. Ha. Shows them.
But I’ll tell you because you are extra-​special to me.
I bought four (Charcoal, Blue, Black and Gray) at TJ Maxx for just over $ 100.00.
They retail individually at Saks for $ 185.00.
Have a couple cocktails and you can still do the math, I did!

Not the greatest selection compared to other TJMs in the city, but it’s never as crowded and the other customers are less sketchy on average.

This TJ Maxx is A-​Ok for sure in my book. As with any store that gets new stock in daily, frequency is key to finding a bargain. As is buying it when you see it because it probably won’t be there next week. I’ve gotten some great designer dresses here for a steal (To the Max, Laundry). If you are in need of a particular basic, this is the place to look first and get it at a great discount.
This TJ Maxx in particular is great for kitchen products. If I need something specific (spring foam pan anyone?) I check here before going downstairs with my coupons. 9 times out of 10 I have found what I need for half the price of other store in the building.
Sure the store sometimes looks a little messy, but sometimes it doesn’t. The employees aren’t overly friendly or helpful but the register line goes quickly.

Don’t get me wrong you’ll find some great bargains in here, but what a mess. The store is always disheveled and the employees are not the friendliest bunch. If you’re able to find what you’re looking for then you’ll love this place.

I’ve got love for the Maxx and I’m not embarrassed to put it in writing.
So, the story goes like this: I run into TJM a couple times per month since it’s close to my gym. Today, I found a pair of Saucony running shoes for $ 35. They’re grey, trimmed in magenta and totally cute. The pair I actually wanted (they didn’t have an 8.5, unfortunately) was on clearance for $ 21! I already completed my run so I can vouch that they’re extremely comfortable with tons of shock-​absorbing padding. Seriously, you can’t beat that price for gym shoes. And a couple of weeks ago, I found a pair of to-​the-​knee flat, slouchy black boots (complete with expensive-​looking detailing) for $ 50. Yep, fifty freakin’ bucks! I’ve also found yoga mats here for $ 10, and earphones for $ 3.99.
Sure, the sunglasses selection is really kind of miserable compared to other TJMs and most of their dresses are last year’s rejects. But if you make a commitment to come in consistently, you’re bound to stumble upon a fantastic deal or two.

TJ MAXX is awesome. Unfortunately this one is in the middle of the gayborhood (I’m not hating– I’m family!) so should you be a size Medium or smaller and a male (who doesn’t cross dress) you should be aware that these sizes tend to disappear and disappear fast. Now I’m not saying you’ll walk inside and all that will be hanging on the racks will be in size large and above, oh no. Much worse. You will find racks half full and instead of Ed hardy, Puma, True religion or whoever you searched for hanging delicately off it’s hanger– you will find a fabulous new UIC t shirt or perhaps if you’re lucky a cubs t shirt (very possibly a jersey sporting a team members number that hasn’t played for at least a season).
I’m not a hater– I’m just saying.
If you are these sizes, you see something you want, GRAB IT. It will be gone in minutes.
Happy hunting!

The Max rules.
Brazilian soccer team track jacket — $ 19.99
Sweet army style brimmed hat — $ 5.99
Bamboo utensil holder for my kitchen drawer — $ 5
Looking pimp while putting my 3 forks away at home… priceless.

Selection is awful. Is this the last stop before clothes are sold by the ton to Africa? I swear I saw a kid from a Unicef ad wearing something from «Juicy» that was on the remainder rack last year.
That’s just wrong, stop hurting third world nations and the eyes of conventioneers across the midwest in unventilated meeting rooms papered with Parisian scenes circa Cirque du Soleil– wait… is that what they are selling… wanna be costumes for the haute couture crowd on a budget? No one looks good in trapeze dress except trapeze artists!
