C-Mart

this location is now closed!

I wish I can give C-​Mart a higher score, but for some reason I had images of grandeur. Somewhere along the lines of the famous Rose Bowl flea market had come to mind. Unfortunately, that was not even close.
They do have some pretty nice furniture for cheap, but it’s very hit or miss. The clothing was definitely abysmal, at least for the men’s section. I’d rather go to Filene’s Basement. Overall, not a bad place, but the 10 miles I drove to get to Landover, MD was definitely not worth it.

I felt rather torn writing this review.
ON THE ONE HAND…
C Mart does have a nice selection of designer duds and furniture to dig through. The store definitely is feast-​or-​famine, and you can probably go in once a week to find different treasures. When I went, I found an incredible Betsey Johnson skirt for less than $ 20. Hooray for me!
ON THE OTHER HAND…
If anyone from the Pennsylvania/​Ohio area is familiar with Gabriel Bros., there is definitely that vibe going on. Don’t expect a caring attentive staff, and be prepared for anything.
FOR EXAMPLE…
when trying on a pair of pants in the dressing room I glanced down as I was taking them off to discover that someone had tried them on before me. I believe her name was Aunt Flo and she had left her signature in the crotch of the pants lining. I wish I was lying to you, dear reader, when I tell you that someone who tried these pants on previously HAD THEIR PERIOD IN THEM and PUT THEM BACK ON THE RACK. Alas, I am not. Not-​so-​hooray for me.
So to somehow conclude this disgusting tale, C Mart rates high in having bargains, but when you go double up on wearing panties. And for god’s sake, check the pants BEFORE you try them on.
