Marshalls

It’s a well lite department store, no frills, just racks of garments and other fashionable wears for your body and home.
I was able to pickup 2 baby onesies for $ 1.99 each, which were used as baby shower guestbook ‘shirt’ sign-​in/​decorations. It’s a cute way to bring in the baby shower theme closer to the mini me that is soon to arrive.
Lots of parking. Friendly staff.

Cashier didn’t look like she enjoyed her job.

Selection is very little and it is quite messy. It’s alright for a skim through to see if there’s a quick steal but that’s about it.

Only buy items that are in prime condition and only say you don’t want an item when asked why you want to return it.
I bought a bought book on clearance from Milpitas. It was banged up but it was $ 3 so I thought it was ok.
When I read it to my 2 year old that night, I realized there were food stains. Gross. Too gross to keep so I wanted to return it.
The Fremont store was closest so I went there. I looked around and happened to find something else I wanted. It cost $ 2.99. So I thought I’d exchange instead of returning for a refund.
Everything was going ok till the cashier asked why I was returning the item. I was honest and said the book was dirty and that I didn’t realize it when I bought it. Which is when the supervisor said I’d need to bring it back to the original store to return. What? Drive 13 miles for $ 3? Can’t you help me out?
«The cashier in Milpitas should have checked the condition of the book before selling it *every page?* We can’t trace who that cashier was and can’t discipline them. If it was from our store, we could trace which cashier sold it and discipline them».
Was that the manager? No? Can I speak to the manager?
Waited around until the manager showed up.
«How much is it? 3? OK we will refund it for you *thank you* If the book was in worse shape, I wouldn’t be able to do it *is that my fault?*
I only bought the book 2 days ago. I didn’t even use it. I’m not trying to cheat you of $ 3. I should have just thrown it away but I didn’t want to waste $ 3.
I used to like shopping at Marshalls/​TJ Maxx/​Homegoods but this experience really f-​ed that up for me. Or maybe I should just avoid this location.
DON’T BUY ANYTHING FROM MARSHALLS/​TJ MAXX/​HOMEGOODS UNLESS YOU’RE SURE YOU’RE KEEPING IT.
It might be better to pay a little bit more and buy NEW stuff from Amazon/​Costco/​Target :-(

Marshalls reminds me a lot of Ross, in a sense that their layout and what they carry are quite similar.
Sometimes I get lucky and find nice clothes, sporting gear, bags, shoes and just those things I always love to hoard because I like to spend my money on things I already own but another color or design won’t hurt my bank account…
I still prefer Ross or if I’m feeling a little more on the high end of department stores… TJ Maxx.

If I could give them a 0 stars, I would. It was the Absolute worst customer experience ever. Do yourself a favor and Go to Ross a few stores down. Employees here are taught to assume everyone is going to steal. The woman in the dressing room snatched my clothes from me and told me their management «forces them to touch the clothes» when people come out! This is ridiculous and flat out enforced in a discriminatory manner.

I can usually find good bargains on home décor, kitchen tools, stationary, and even clothes at Marshals or TJ Maxx. However, this particular location is really disorganized.
I walked through today & noticed that the shelves were overstuffed with piles of items. The scene looked like a Ross store at the end of a weekend. Completely disorganized and messy shelves. I could maybe understand if the mess was confined to the clearance items, but these were all the regularly priced things. The toy section was particularly bad with ripped packaging sprawled on the floor. All the nail polishes were opened, with drippings all over the containers and the shelf.
I was so put off by the mess I walked out. Management, I urge you to do something about this mess. I don’t believe that the volume of customers is great enough to justify such a mess in the middle of a weekday.

It was my first time here yesterday, and I wasn’t particularly impressed or anything. I gave an extra star because the store is frickin’ huge and the location is convenient for other shopping locations as well. I would have given it 1.5 stars.
They had some cool glassware that I was eye-​balling, but ultimately I decided it would be easier to buy it a little closer to home. Their clothing selection wasn’t very good, despite their advertised clearance sale.
Makeup section was super messy, especially in the clearance section! Half of the things there had been opened and tried on buy other people, and then spilled on the floor. Don’t sell used makeup! It’s unhygienic!
Wouldn’t come back, but my friend loves Marshalls, so we might end up coming here again eventually.

This location has an extensive selection of kitchenware and pet supplies. I love it! You find all the big brands like Le Creuset, Cuisinart, and even Yoku. They also have a great selection for speciality products such as truffle oil and himalayan salt. I also spurged on some bed and bath goods and it was so worth it. I found queen sheet set 750 thread count for only $ 40. I fell in love with Marshalls again during my Christmas shopping because I was able to find something nice for everyone and keep within my budget. I will keep coming back for their home goods. Oh, and they’re pet friendly!

Do you love it? I love it. I got it. oh wait that’s a different place.
Well Marshalls feels like a Ross, but a little more upscale. I would say it’s on par with TJ Max, but maybe slightly less than TJ.
Every time I’ve been here, it’s been fairly organized and not a mess like many many other places. Also like many Marshalls it’s hit or miss in terms of what you can find for a great deal. If you do want brand/​designer named bags and a lot of them, you’d likely want to go to TJ Maxx. You’ll find some here but not a lot. Brand name clothing on the other hand, you’ll find more of that here as well as shoes. I tend to find luggage in Ross than here.
Parking is plenty as it’s in the fairly dead Fremont Hub and on the backside on the other side of Target.
I go here on occasions whenever I feel like taking a little browse if I’m near Trader Joe’s. The other TJ’s ;)

Comparing this place to other Marshalls, this one is pretty average. The place itself is pretty big and buzzing with people. It’s also decently clean and brightly lite. As for the selection of items: women clothing were plentiful, men’s dress shirts were a little lacking, but the selections of boots were plentiful too (just not enough in size 5 – 6). Lots of heels for the larger sizes though. Customer service was friendly and quick.
Final Thoughts: All in all, good place to kill time looking for something nice in the racks :]

I’ve been in this Marshalls a few times already but I have never purchased anything from here. The inventory for women’s clothing seems to be quite limited. I can never find anything super cute. The stuff I do find acceptable, I still think the prices are a tiny bit high (for Vince, Tory Burch) — I wish they would have more of these designer name brands here though, high priced or not!
The household goods is okay although a bit messy. Inventory is varied of course.
If you’re in the courtyard, you can look into the Marshalls but you actually have to go around to the front to enter the store. It’s a bit annoying, since there is a door in the back that is emergency exit only. I guess it would be hard to patrol the back for potential thieves though.

This Marshall’s might as well specialize in shoes since it’s the best part of the store. Great prices, although I wish there was more variety for the bigger shoe sizes. The quality of all the shoes are great though. Don’t come looking for clothes, just go straight to the shoes.
The service here is great, especially the cashiers! I never stand more than 2 minutes in line. They’re very quick and friendly.

This is the best Marshall’s I’ve seen! Clothes, shoes, home décor, furniture… they have it all with great quality and variety. Marshall’s is one of my favorite chains, so I’m glad I stumbled upon this one. My best finds were their photo frames-​cheap and artsy!

I’ve been to this Marshalls quite a few times since my mom likes to shop here often while shopping here at The Fremont Hub Shopping Center.
The store itself is pretty organized and clean, although during certain times, certain isles can be found a mess, and disorganized. However, most of the other sections throughout the store is pretty clean and organized.
It’s really a hit or miss to finding something of your liking here. To me every time I come here it’s like it looks exactly the same as it did the last time, with the exception of them moving certain things around. Other than that it really looks like they have the same type of things in stock lol. so, it’s really a hit or miss if you can find something to your liking and at a reasonable price that also suits you.
There are always employees working on the floor, organizing and adding things to the shelves, clothing area, and more! Most of the employees are nice, and helpful. The people at the registers are mostly friendly and some are chatty with the customers, others are not really.
They have plenty of shopping carts here inside the store for you to use throughout your shopping. Although the shopping carts supposedly are suppose to lock upon reaching the door, meaning they can’t be taken out of the store, but yet I still see quite a few Marshall shopping carts in the parking lot and outside the store. Makes me wonder if they system is flawed or what haha.
Parking is fine because there is plenty of parking spaces here in the Fremont Hub Shopping Center. You’ll always find a parking spot here.
Overall, it’s your typical Marshalls, which for me, I’d give 3 stars. Nothing really special about this store or place.

The store is very organized and clean. The workers are hussling trying to make sure the store stays that way!
Minus one star because some stuff doesn’t have price tags, which ends up in a big hold up at the register because they have 1 person who goes to look for a price.
TIP: If you find something without a price, take the same thing even if it’s a different size, just so they can scan the tag.
They give free bags.

I come here to hunt. Not to shop. I containerized my pantry with sistema brand containers from Marshall’s for ¹⁄₅ the price that I was tempted to pay at the container store. I also regularly see quality towels, baby items, furniture and some pretty good brands too. I feel like every time I go I see a Cynthia Rowley jacket I love and even some of her housewares. I’d avoid the shoes though. Unless you really like last year’s Steve Madden shoes.
I was hosting a baby shower and we did the infamous baby onesie decoration game. I bought bulk gerber and Carter’s onesies here and it was definitely cheaper than amazon.

This is very organized Marshalls! Walking by you don’t see clothes jammed into the racks. Everything is organized by color and size. Super easy to find things. I loved it!
I had an easy time finding exercise clothes. The prices were so cheap even compared to Target. Sports bras were less than 10 bucks (I picked up a grey one for 7 dollars). Workout tanktops were cheap too! I picked one up for 9.99.
Shoes were such a good variety too! I saw a lot that were Steve Madden. They looked like they had a lot in stock so sizes didn’t look like an issue. Workers did a pretty good job putting things away around the store. It wasn’t messy or cluttered.
I will definitely be returning! =)
Oh ps. they gave us free bags. the Marshalls in San Leandro charges.

I’ve discovered that not all Marshalls are created equal. The service here is pretty good, most of time. Every once in a while you’ll come across a disinterested employee. But most of the time, the people that work there are upbeat, helpful, and friendly.
Now, to the most important reason why I am giving this store five stars. The deals here are amazing. No, that’s an understatement. I’ve gotten so used to purchasing designer denim here that I can’t imagine paying more than $ 30 for a pair of Paige shorts or jeans. That’s so crazy considering they retail for at least five times that usually. I used to shop at both Nordstrom Rack and Marshalls, equally. But now, I don’t even bother heading to Nordrack anymore for my clothing needs.
So I mostly come here to comb the clearance racks. It makes for almost guilt-​free shopping since you can almost rationalize the purchase with how much money you’re technically saving! ;) I do also love that I can purchase fancy soaps for much less than retail. My cousin loves them and she’s impossible to shop for so I stock up on them and gift her a bag full of fancy soaps when I see her every once in a while.
Lastly, the home good section is pretty amazing too. Their regular prices are already great. Their clearance section is a steal.
I have to admit, I’m excited to have a child or two just so that I can shop in the baby/children’s section! Oh– and the shoes! You can’t find a better deal on Converse (both slip ons and lace up lo and hi-​tops). They’re the only shoes the picky bf wears so I’m lucky. Not to mention the women’s shoe selection– you can find some amazing stuff every once in a while. It’s sort of like the luck of the draw.
With all of that said, be sure to check often for deals. The selection is always changing and things will always eventually be marked down. So most deals are worth waiting for, unless the price is already worth it! Happy shopping!

Not bad, Marshall’s. Not bad.
Decent organized, good lighting, and cheap stuff. I know they take pride in their store when I find that the clearance aisle isn’t strew about with picked over items. It’s actually decently organized. Great for finding random kitchen utensils and home goods as well. Just stop asking me if I want a Marshall’s credit card! I don’t want one! I hate that they’re trained to ask this every time. If they would only cut that out my checkout experience would be 200percent better.
